Can someone tell me why this Xbox one is so hard to work with.

I keep seeing people saying its so hard to join games and I dont understand how you come to this conclusion.

What is so hard about that?

I'll admit it takes some getting used to from the 360, but work through the growing pains and it becomes a lot better. Keep at it!

Though annoying I find hard resetting the Xbox one solves most issues when trying to join parties and game invites. I think it has something to do with having it on standby and the system cache, so I turn my off at the wall when I am not using it.

because it doesn't always work, partying works most of the time but inviting to a lot of different games can give quite wide results.

Subscriptions help keep consoles prices low

You do.realize that right ?

You didn't think 1500 dollar worth of computer parts cost.499 did you?

It's subsidized by subscriptions to help cover the cost

We could go back.to.the days of the 3do where you paid the full cost.of the console.1000 bucks for a 32 bit CD player that had no.online connectivity

With pcs you pay the full cost.of your pc and components etc

Gamepass.is just.access to games on gamepass not including multiplayer

Actually 10 bucks per month is pretty good for.gold I dunno. where you been looking but online subscriptions have.been going UP not.down

Ultimate includes .access. to.hundreds of games for free and provides gold and hundreds of dollars in perks per month like Disney plus cloud gaming in supported regions etc

Gold ala core gives you access to 25 games per month starting this month and ultimate give you access to hundreds of games and discounts for said games if you choose to buy them to.keep

Which is how people.find out great 3rd or indie titled games they never would've.tried out before

Instead of just looking at the price

Read the description.this is explained to you very nicely

All current consoles.require a subscription

With the exception of ally or the steam deck
