The monthly embarrassment has arrived! While Game Pass kills it to the point of saying it yet again feeling redundant, Games With Gold continues to meander. Bringing another package of lackluster titles leaves us with one big question... is it time to sunset this one beloved program? In the backwards compatibility world, Xbox continues to push the limits. Elder Scrolls or Fallout: New Vegas on the phone? Sign us up! The timing is great for them as it syncs up with PlayStation shutting down the PSP, PS Vita, and PS3 digital storefronts. How will Xbox continue this initiative moving forward? Plenty to go through in our longest episode yet!

The reason I like gold is because you can buy 2 one years worth for $60 each then upgraded to ultimate for $1

Picturing Karak doing Just Dance is delightful. 😄 Days Gone is a mentally and creatively bankrupt game? You guys are wildn’ PS5 is going to be the 1st slim edition console I’ll buy. That thing is just due for a new format down the line. I think Xbox is fine with both their consoles unless they want to eventually make the X the new S and release a more powerful sku if they were able to.

For Dustin: I did begin to feel like gagging at my computer (not my car thankfully) with the booger talk 🤢

"People who are doing that are like people who are dating sex dolls". I feel personally attacked.

Another great episode. Been listening since you started the podcast but have bit the bullet this weekend and now have a series S as a complimentary console to my PS5. I new about backwards compatibility and gamepass but it wasn't until I got set up that it really hit me how insane it is. I bought a console for £250 and for £10 I now have access to 100s of games including the best xbox history. Can't believe how good the 360 games look too. #TeamXbox and #TeamPlaystation

You can’t forget that you can’t really get rid of Xbox Live Gold on its own, because of all the casual gamers that only play things like Call of Duty and GTA Online.. they shouldn’t be forced into Game Pass Ultimate just to get online with those games! At least that’s how it’s always been in the past...
