Interesting note on this though. Went to Microsoft few days back and put order in, with expediate delivery 1-2 business days. They charged my card, but I didnt hear anything back specific. It just said Pending, and June 7th. So I cancelled. Card got immediate refund.
I went to Newegg just to see early yesterday morning (Thursday), and for $60 more I got another controller which knowing Microsoft controller hardware, I'll be using come next year. But I also got the delivery this afternoon (Friday). Literally got it about 36 hours after placing order.
So definitely will be checking out quite a few XS games, as I got 1 month of Gamepass that has quite a few on it, like Forza, Flight SImulator, Ori.
Then Elden Ring. Been putting it off because I want to play it in at least 60 fps. And then later this year, STALKER 2, so stoked for that one, as I loved the original on pc way back when.
Stalker is slated for December at the moment but a very good chance we dont see that game for a while with the war in ukraine.
I dont know if they do this anymore but when your 1 month expires look and see if they still offer the gold to Ultimate upgrade.... if they still do it buy a year of gold (60) the convert to gamepass for a year. (they might have stopped this but worth looking into.. )
