@Ryu_Niiyama I thought that but still... Despite being more of a Nintendo guy, I've seen multiple Xbox presentations to see what they are doing and they keep repeating "world exclusive" and such so I guess they want to change that a bit.
Although, even if they want to change, you're right that right now they are focused on 3rd party and gamepass. And gamepass right now is a great deal to be fair. If I buy an Xbox console it would be with that in mind. More exclusives would be nice tho.
The backwards compatibility thing is another thing that would be interesting to experience. Can you just put disks of the og Xbox or the 360 on your Xbox Series X? Are all the backwards compatible games avaliable on their digital stores?
@jowe_gw Only certain Original Xbox and Xbox 360 games are backwards compatible, I am sure that there is a list somewhere online because there are alot of them. Most games that are Backwards Compatible are available on the MS Store digitally unless for some reason due to some agreement. For example, Forza Horizon 2 is no longer available on the MS Store digitally due to end of life, but I was able to find a copy of the game on disc at a flea market and pop it into my Series X and it ran fine.
Keep in mind also MS is done making Original Xbox games and 360 games backwards compatible now so if there is one in particular that's not on the list chances are it won't be backwards compatible.

@jowe_gw what @Tasuki said. Not every BC game got a digital release either so just check the list and go from there.

@Tasuki Oh, ok. I thought the list was games avaliable to be bought in the MS Store but I guess it's compatible games period. Good to know. Are they still adding games to it?
Well this is the only Xbox thing that matters until (insert Starfield release date here). I've never felt more mixed on business dealings in my life. Because this deal not going through is ultimately for the best for gaming as a whole but for the worst for Activision Blizzard employees.
Speaking of which, this came out today, because Activision Blizzard in late 2022 is still Activision Blizzard:
I had enough reason to boycott this company nearly 4 years ago, and they've not stopped once since then.
What does disturbing revisions to the game’s script mean? Especially for a Diablo game which isn’t a happy series anyway?

I am pretty sure if I understand it correctly, that thing by the FTC doesn’t actually do anything in any material sense and they haven’t made the right kind of challenge or whatever to actually physically block the deal going through, it is more of like a performative motion? It is all very convoluted.
Spent the past couple of days playing and finishing Halo CE: Anniversary on Series X. First time playing through the remake.
Hadn't played through the game's campaign in near on 20 years, but I was reminded of how great it was - what a fantastic time for gaming the early 2000s was. Campaign, multiplayer, the game along with Halo 2 provided countless hours of entertainment.
Halo was the reason I got an Xbox way back when, and playing the remake was one heck of a nostalgia trip.
