Nah, Starfield I played on Gamepass, have yet to buy a copy of my own and may not since Xbox is unlikely to ever remove it from Gamepass. I did buy the $15 upgrade to play early and get the first expansion pack.

I did and that was probably the first time in almost a decade in spending that much on a game lol. Kind of a different story if that's merely the cost of entry for every single major release. 

Seeing my hobby being destroyed before my very eyes 😔

wow GP has really spoiled you on value. 60 hours is pretty rare for a western made single player game.

Thanks a lot Xbox.

Honestly I was feeling that way even before I subbed to Gamepass for the first time in 2020. Even going back to last gen, nearly every game I purchased at the full $60 price was either a huge singleplayer RPG with more than 1 hour of content per dollar (games like Fallout 4, Final Fantasy XV, Witcher 3, and Dragon Age Inquisition), or a game with multiplayer I could play for hundreds of hours (Halo MCC, Halo 5, Dead By Daylight, CoD, etc.). Other games I played last gen I either bought in a physical or digital sale, or played day one via Gamefly which was $16 a month back then.

So do you count everything in dollars per hour? I mean going to a movie must be out of the question for you then.

I haven't been to the movies for 20 years because I find them personally a waste of money(I can't be the only one?), if I go it is to please the kids etc.

I have enough with Netflix 

The new base version will be $100.  The Deluxe, Gold, Ultra whatever will be priced higher.  I could see $199.99 for a version that has the season passes.

I'm pretty budget conscious on movies too. Movie tickets are now up to $12 a ticket at my local theater, about double what they cost around 20 years ago. I think I only watched 2 movies in theater last year, everything else I waited for home rental or streaming service to watch. Some years I will watch more movies in theater than last year, but I don't think I have seen more than maybe 5 movies in theater any year since ticket prices passed the $10 mark.

Looking at 2024's release slate, I only see 2 that I will probably watch in theater this year, Sonic 3 and Ghostbusters: Fallen Empire. I can wait for Disney+ on others that interest me like Deadpool & Wolverine and Inside Out 2, Disney usually puts their movies on Disney+ within 6 months of the theatrical release. Others I will wait and rent on Blu-ray at a local Redbox kiosk, like Venom 3, Alien: Romulus, the Borderlands movie, and Furiousa: A Mad Max Saga.
