Xbox Game Pass Sign-Ups "Really Strong"

@sodapoppimpski: Of course Game Pass would work on Scorpio, it's still an Xbox One, just has a different current name. PS Now is PS4 and PC. Also since it is a streaming service, any of their games from any platform could be played on any platform they made a client for.

@sodapoppimpski: psnow works because it doesnt require a console...do you not know how these services work?

@eternalrogue198:People forget that Sony has to recoup the costs of all the hardware involved in running PS Now. The setup, the creation of new clients to run PS3 games on non-Sony platforms. It isn't cheap. With the 3 month pass you can get it for $15 a month which is reasonable. Game Pass will need very little in the way of new hardware. Game Pass is $10 a month for single player games. Remember not everyone has Xbox Live Gold. While PS Plus isn't required for PS Now to play multiplayer. While this seems self evident and not important by itself, it is worth noting when trying to compare Game Pass to PS Now.

Also Digital Foundry did an assessment of PS Now and found it acceptable. Works best when using a wired connection, with controllers pluged in. I think most people think their Wi-Fi that probably isn't setup to handle something like game streaming is sufficient.

I'm not saying the price is good, but it's not a terrible as people make it out to be. While Game Pass isn't this new mystical greatness they'd have you believe. Both are good for their respective audiences and the competition should benefit both sides.

@eternalrogue198: you can play offline, but you wiill still need damn good internet frequently to DL those games..thr goal of which was to engage more people into wanting to pay for gold so that they can enjoy h5 to it's fullest.. (notice how the top games are mp focused??) And only on an xb1..... one platform.... to access that service you haved to have spent a large amount of money on some poor hardware..... better value??, arguable

@lrdfancypants: eh... it was sma in number, but they focused on highly rated titles

@lrdfancypants: Hasn't it been like $8/month for a while now? If you can drop $99... Which isn't asking a whole lot since people are dropping $60 all the time for 1 game.

@deviltaz35: I play Mad Max on X1 and it runs fine.

You've been console gaming for awhile, your ignoring the fact there are always new gamers coming into the console and PC space. For someone whose just starting a 360 or X1 library this is a great cheap way to try a bunch of games without buying, for 10 bucks, and if you want to buy something you get a discount. Your looking at the service from a console veteran perspective only...and I expect the selection to improve. New titles will be added every month. Mad Max is a 2015 game. There a ton of great games that year we could start to see more of. And next year there could be 2016 games. Not all of us buy everything at launch.

@joshrmeyer: You can play them as long as you keep paying the monthly $10 and as long as they are still part of the Game Pass library. Games will be removed and added every month. After 30 days you'd need to sign in so the service can check if the game is still part of Game Pass, and if your still a Game Pass subscriber.

@joshrmeyer: You can't play it offline as far as i know. So the games are timed obviously.

@joshrmeyer: I don't know how it works though... It's worth it for the price alone in UK £7,99 per month

Eurogamer: "That's why games on Xbox Game Pass will be downloaded to your Xbox One, providing fans with a native, full-fidelity gaming experience and the ability to play downloaded games offline for up to 30 days."

@NeonicTrash: Steam has refunds. Thats good enough for me.

@cfscorpio: "Xbox Live has games that people actually want."

"The Xbox One has probably the 2nd best library now"

I wonder if you can like Xbox without being a delusional die hard fanboy. lol even Trump and CNN combined dont produce so much fake news XD

@papachump: Well, I am a hardcore gamer. I dont leave my basement too often.
