Xbox setup and 3 years of game pass ultimate added for £87, so all in for about £540 vs 700 with all access, plus the extra year

How exactly did you do that please?

There's a thread:

New customers can convert Xbox Live Gold (among other things) to Game Pass Ultimate for £1. If you use a VPN to apply Live Gold vouchers from a different region, you can get GPU for very cheap prices. If not, it's still only about £120 by buying UK vouchers off CDKeys etc.

Thanks.

Yeah to summarise:

1. Buy 36 months of Gold (Brazil)
2. Ensure no game pass subscription active
3. Active gold by using a VPN for the required region, going to xbox.com and then redeem code
4. Upgrade to game pass ultimate and convert gold to game pass

What is fallen order on full graphics? I know performance mode is 1080p 120fp. but my monitor is telling me the full graphics is running 120fps (VRR)

None of the modes are 120.

can this be done for digital games.

Yeh must be bugged. Maybe the game doesn’t output for VRR?

 

[Kreeeee]

It’s based on the old SDK so I don’t think it can.

 

[Tenzo]

Some series x available to order through game on the all access scheme. Just had confirmation of the order. No idea when I will get it but at least it's ordered

Yeah I just managed to get one. Can't really argue with the deal to be honest.

I wouldn’t like to say - I don’t see why not though.

Be careful though - you can only have a maximum of three years XB Live subscription.........when you add a subscription it offers you an extra month free if you accept autorenewal, and it's really easy to accept that by accident! It then measns you can't add all three 12 month subscriptions (it won't let you add the third as it takes you over 36 months).

*This was the case a few months back and assume it still is?

Yes it still does this, and good point - I had forgotten to mention it

So this XBl Gold to GPU only works if you don't currently have a membership?

Correct. You cannot have an active subscription.

 

[MrRockliffe]

If you redeem it while you have a subscription active, I think that 12 months of gold gets you 3 months or 4 months of ultimate

 

[roads]

In the case of an active sub, you can apply a 12m EA Access code (£17), which converts to 4m GPU.

Vesperia just crashed to dash was a short buzz followed by force close. I did capture it by good fortune.

Had the same thing yesterday with Ori and the Blind Forest.

Loaded up an area, screen went black and buzzed then forced closed back to desktop.

I checked the console, wasn't really that hot, game ran again fine for hours afterwards so probably just the game crashing.
