Xbox One - Games with Gold

This sound like something you might have said.

" I would not call the titles sony is letting people "borrow" recent! They are old games."

And no locked is not the same as taking away. Taking away is removed. Locked is still there when you are ready to re sub it's not the same.

 

People, do we have to argue....... (probably)

Here is how it stands. GWG gives you free xbox 360 games, some over 6 years old and some newer, but not by much, many of these games you can pick up for as little as 50p + P&P. They are yours to keep forever. They may have been AAA titles, but really, can
people at least admit, they are a tad old. And most people will have owned a copy or still do, like crackdown, and Halo 3, Gears of War, Assassins Creed 2, etc, etc. They are yours to keep forever, but even if they were considered rentals like everyone here
terms the PS+ versions, would that be a bad thing. How many people here that had the afore-mentioned games have picked up assassins creed 2, or GOW, OR Crackdown before it became available on GWG, I know i certainly didn't. I was to busy playing newer releases.

How many of you here, that currently own an Xbox One and an Xbox 360, are not going to renew your membership, when it expires, because that pretty much removes most of the features of both consoles. Access to certain Apps, will be limited, there will be
no online multiplayer. So what would it matter if it was in the form of the PS+ way of doing things. If for whatever resason, you cannot afford to pay the subscription for a month, the games won't have dissapeared. They will still be there, when you renew.

Don't for one second believe Sony are paying top dollar for thei PS+ games, sometime their games, co-inside with the publishers release of the next game in the series, or some DLC for that game. Or the game has finally hit rock bottom, like Assassins Creed
3, on PS+, released just in time for the release of Assassins Creed 4, nice bit of free advertising for the next game, jncluding any extra DLC, they might sell. Need for speed most wanted released on PS+, a few months before rivals was released, again with
boat loads of DLC available to buy. And the latest Tomb raider released on PS+ this month on PS3, uncanny timing, considering Tomb Raider DE was released on Next Gen, it's like try it on PS3, but it is so mucn better looking on next gen. Or they are 1st Party
games

There is a reason that certain games are released, i you can bet, Sony are making a deal from it, by either, forfeiting the license fee for each game downloaded under PS+ and allowing the PUB to take most of the money on DLC as well. Sony would hardly have
to pay anythjng, and PUBS, would get an older game out there to peolle who may have never played it, free advertising for thei next game, and DLC available to all and sundry.

While i agree that GWG, is a good idea, and one they nicked from Sony, and put their own spin on. For value for money, Microsoft is being out done.

I know i will get flamed like i always do. But just think about it logically. Think about what i typed. It would make sense. A company doing it that way, would hardly have to pay a penny, as the rewards for the Dev/Pub, maybe to good to pass up.

 

If Sony has really solved, to some extent, the Backwards Compatibility issue with their forthcoming PS Now service then from a purely business perspective MS has to come up with something game oriented. Not solely for those who already own the X1 but
for all those who are still on the fence and potential customers. If Microsoft doesn't respond in kind then it would be a no brainer for anyone interested in investing in a next gen console, you would get far more value for your money by going with the PS4.
