So stuff like Deathloop, I hope it's great and everyone playing it I hope enjoys it, I'll catch it when it hits Game Pass on PC. My primary interests are elsewhere in gaming right now.

That aside, I'm hesitant to invest in my digital library on PS5 right now until there's a little better definition of what a library means to Sony. I think the noise about that is going to start getting louder and that will remain a factor in my purchasing decisions until they do commit to something the way Microsoft did proactively with their forward/backward compatibility and relatively generationless approach.
Great point, I lost the FOMO during late PS3 era (TLOU?). Honestly the Sony exclusives don't totally thrill me lately. I'm sure they're fun and I miss Spiderman and HZD but overall I've just learned that it's not a big deal and if i miss a few games then it really doesn't bother me. I'm not spending over 500 just to play a few games in an ecosystem I don't really like. Especially since Deathloop will be free when it's on GP

Re: Xbox Series (X/S)

Does anyone know if you can still buy Xbox gold for a year then pay the $1 to convert it into gamepass?

Yes, for new subscriptions only. I asked this same question on the Microsoft Xbox forum about a year ago and the moderator said I could do that for a maximum of 3 yrs.

Re: Xbox Series (X/S)

So... chatter of a big Microsoft Acquisition coming soon.

Seen some speculate it may be Square Enix / Take Two-sized.

I really have to think that the Game Pass model works for them, and they wouldn't do this if the bethesda one didn't pay itself off pretty easily (similar to Minecraft) so that would be pretty awesome. More games is always better.
