Yeah no pro thanks. Maybe ask Chokka on here because I bought this off him and at the time he said he had 2 but couldn't remember which he had used, it's possible that was the one he used and still has an unused code.
Unfortunately that's definitely the correct code. I tried the other one I had myself again to be sure after talking to you, and it isn't accepting it so it's definitely the one I used.
I can't believe that someone has taken the code and not bothered to even say thanks. Some people...
Thank goodness we've got Digital Foundry to set things straight. It's not hot, it doesn't run loud, and the design is amazing. That's great to hear

Unfortunately posting a code on an open forum means that anyone (even bots) could have grabbed and used it and not even be registered.

You can do the deal again but in my experience your first month will be full price not a quid (still worth doing for converting 2-3 years).

Uggggh Im having serious case of fomo atm, I preordered the series S as I thought that'd be all I'd need but the closer it gets to release date the more i regret and wish I'd gotten the X, I've bought the 360 and xbox one on release date so have no idea what I was thinking

What TV have you got?
If you don't have a 4K / HDR TV then don't worry about it, upgrade when they become available again. You don't even really need a 4k HDR with HDMI 2.1 yet either.
I got an S for the kids' room as they have a 42" 1080P TV in there, and I'm still tempted to put it on my Q95T, if my dealings for a series X fall through (I have a PS5 preorder, changed my mind but found a local dude who wants to swap his series X preorder for a PS5 instead
)Ok.. so there are some building rumours about something HUGE for xbox moving forward... all of this is just guesswork but its starting to spread like wildfire. Could Steam be coming to series X?
Xbox NZ and A twitter account posted this earlier..
Obviously GPS coordinates that lead to queenstown New Zealand..
The same day, Geoff Keighleigh posted on twitter about a zoom call with him Phil Spencer and Gabe Newell..
And with todays Xbox App Update we see a section to add friends from steam...

Seing as the series X is basically a 3700x with a GPU on par with a 2080 super, and supports keyboard and mouse.. quite a lot would work.
There was a wild rumour around January that the X might be able to run in "PC mode" ... which sounded very doubtful at the time.
Edit: Someone from FaceBook said it's 100% not steam on Xbox
Prowling his account, he is the owner of a Sydney-based advertising agency. I questioned him to ask if it's a Kiwi based game studio and if this woman has anything to do with it https://twitter.com/loriipops?s=21 . He said it's not a games studio, but that woman is in fact involved.
My guess at the whole thing is that it's just a marketing campaign.

Half Life 3?
Game Pass PC is moving to Stream.
That would be massive. The big hurdle at the moment is the Windows Store. Red Dead 2 didn't come to Game Pass on PC, mainly because of Windows Store. Doom Eternal isn't coming to Game Pass on PC until December because it needs to be ported to Windows Store. Nobody likes Windows Store. It uses a weird file system and isn't compatible with mods. For games, it's a janky pain in the ass.
Using Steam would be better for the players. And it would blow the doors open in terms of the selection of games that could come to Game Pass.
OTOH, if it's Steam on Xbox then I'll probably be selling my PC

This. It'll be xbox game pass for PC and Steam integration/including games on steam in game pass.
If it was the ability to play PC games on console, no-one would ever buy the console version at 3/4/5x the price, and MS would have made a huge song and dance about this before the new RTX cards were announced.

It does support mods. Not sure what the current state of it is but there's a handful of of moddable games on game pass at the moment.
Jeebus, don't do that to me at this time in the morning!
