    Do you feel Xbox Game Pass is worth it? What have been some of your fav games on the service?

      Hey bro first time commenter!! Came across you for the first time yesterday randomly and feel in love with your casual and comfortable approach to recording! Anyway...sorry 🤣 ...yes I do think gamepass ultimate is extremely worth it!...i kinda use it as a huge demo disk! Like I trial a game for a good few hours and if I like it I will simply buy it ❤️....also I have 2 kids in my house that absolutely love my game room and luckily gamepass always has something to keep them busy....and on top of that If they happen to be taking both TVs from me, I can just use cloud gaming and play on my phone!!!

    I've only had it since Dec 2021 and I've already found 7-8 games on it, games that I've really wanted to play and would've bought but just haven't got to it yet, there's still that of whole level of games that I wouldn't have bought but look good enough to try. It's already more than paid for itself.

    • @BusyDadGaming
      @BusyDadGaming  2 года назад

      Totally agree. There are so many games I wouldn't have paid for, but because they are on Game Pass, I've given them a shot and enjoyed far more than I didn't.

    Sorry for the loss of your cat. Pets are family members and it hurts when you lose them.
    I think Game Pass will be worth it. As a PS5 and Xbox Series X owner, I have Game Pass and Playstation Plus. In my experience so far, I find Game Pass the better value. Much better titles are available on Game Pass so far. As you mention, with Microsoft's acquisition of the game studios, Game Pass should only get better. Sony has a lot of ground to cover to catch up with Microsoft. I have a year subscription to Playstation Plus and when the renewal comes up in December, unless the selection improves, I probably won't renew. My Game Pass is a 3 month subscription and I definitely plan to rewnew it when it comes up.

      Thanks, I appreciate it and they really are.
      I agree, Game Pass is very much worth it. Playstation's offering hasn't been very good in this space so we'll see what they answer with. As you mentioned, they have a long way to go.

      @@standrew131 - Playstation Plus is just the online component for Playstation, so def not directly competing. PS Now is the closest thing, but I wasn't a fan of the service when I played it. I do know Sony is working on something similar to GamePass, but time will tell what that actually ends up looking like.
      For me, Game Pass has had a lot of games I've enjoyed so it really is personal preference. With Bethesda, and eventually Activision/Blizzard, that's a pretty big catalog of some great games.

    If you're never had Gamepass before... Buy three years of Xbox GOLD ($60 per year x3 = $180). Pay $1 to sign up for the Gamepass ultimate trial. Now you have three years of Gamepass for $180

      Yeah, many do that. They'll pick it up when there are games they want to play and cancel when there isn't. I like that it doesn't lock you into long-term subscriptions like Adobe or companies similar.

    Sorry about your cat bro but look at it this way you gave it a great life and love that is all a cat wants . And great vid . After i got Ultimate Game Pass the kids stopped asking for games . And when games go off of game pass they are always on sale so if you like the game you can pick it up cheap . great value . I have a xbox Series S with a 6 tb external hard drive where we now have over 300 games on and when we want to play a game that needs to be on the internal hard drive we just copy it over it works great

    I got the three months for free. But to be honest ever since I’ve gotten a job it’s tough to make time to game it especially with school I’d say sure why not buy a whole year but I think I’ll just stick with what I have honestly love my Xbox it may not be a ps5 but I’m happy

    For know, people like more online stuff!
    But once, when every platform gets online with a big library or cloud.
    Then you can decide, with games your like more. Nintendo, PlayStation has many benefits over there games.
    But they have to pay allot of service for the platform to run that.
    That's the benefit that Xbox has Microsoft what's already the Software program.

    I got it with a code from my MS friend and I’ve used it to see what a few games looked like and to decide if I wanted to buy them. When it comes time to renew it, I’m pretty sure I won’t. On another note about Game Pass…how long can you keep a downloaded game, before you’re charged for it?

    • @BusyDadGaming
      @BusyDadGaming  2 года назад +1

      Any downloaded games while using Game Pass will only last as long as you have Game Pass. The service also doesn't require any time frames so you can cancel or re-start it whenever you want.

    • @blitzphantom9488

    I have 2 cats & 2 dogs. My oldest dog will be 17 this year. My other dog & 2 cats are 11, 10 & 9 respectively. Pets are family & I know that loss. As for Gamepass Ultimate, it's definitely worth it. I just got my hands on a Series X, so my youngest son is getting my Series S & will use my account. I have also dipped my toes in Gamepass for PC as well. Managed to get my hands on a PS5 & the PS plus is not worth the $10/month. PS now is worth it for older games/last gen games.

      GamePass Ultimate is def worth it in my opinion. So many games and options, it's pretty awesome service and I really hope other competitors take note. I did see where Steam is open to working with MS to get Game Pass on the Steam Deck, which would be awesome.

    Xbox Gamepass is a great way to try out a ton of games without having to buy them. It's definitely worth it but maybe not to people who either prefer to own games or just want to only play the games they're already interested in.

    Sorry for your cat loss. Game Pass is definitely worth it. I just don’t get it every single month. I usually get it when there is a games with gold game that I want and don’t have yet. I also use my Microsoft points earned to pay for game pass about every other month. Ironically when I have Game Pass Ultimate, I buy more digital games with the deals with gold sales, which is why I don’t subscribe every month.

      I love that you can start and end Game Pass and you're not locked into a contract like many subscriptions. I'm the same way, I tend to buy more games since they are either on sale or at steep discounts.

      That makes sense. Over the next year or so, we should start to see more games coming with all of the studios MS has. If you do the rewards program, you can typically cover the cost if you do all of the rewards so that's something to look at as well.
