@john-folan I mean that is a masterstroke for Xbox!

Xbox All Access they call it. The Gamepass saves me a fortune as I don’t need to keep buying him games.

@john-folan Aren't they also doing a £20-30 a month get the console as well set up? Which would be a no brainer.

I nearly ordered the Google one, but then Google have a habit of killing things off people love lol

Yep £28.99 for two years. You get the console and the Gamepass Sub as well. It's a no brainer. I managed to secure one last Tuesday for Joshua for Christmas. Was just going to buy it outright but this is a no brainer. It's back compatible as well so it will play and upscale everything back to Xbox 360 games. I'm going to wait until mid next year to get my playstation 5. No good exclusive games for it yet anyway.

Having both Consoles in the house. I'd say Sony gets the best exclusive games(Spiderman, Uncharted etc.) But an Xbox with the gamepass is the best value gaming you will get.

@keith-anderson That game does look insane! Thinking I might have to buy an Xbox as I want that red dead and cyperpunk

Some great Black Friday Deals on the Xbox Gamestore. Far Cry 5 reduced by 80% to £10.99.

Also, Assassins Creed - Valhalla has been an excellent buy too

Nothing for the actual ps4 though which is annoying!

OMFG the last episode of The Mandalorian!!!!

Ryan

@richard-latimer Rrrr seen this on Netflix as wasn't sure what it was, so glad you have put this up now on my list!

Matt Wood

@richard-latimer Despite my avoiding Shia Lebouf at all costs, this film is on my list.

Richard Latimer

Not on Netflix or Amazon that I'm aware but just finished a film called 'The Peanut Butter Falcon'. Really uplifting film. It sounded decent and quirky but my expectations were met and exceeded.

Shia Lebouf and Dakota Johnson as well a guy who actually has downs syndrome. He's stuck away in a nursing home as nobody wants him and he dreams of becoming a wrestler and going to this wrestling school he's been watching videos of. One of the residents helps him to escape and I won't ruin the rest. It's brilliant though and real heartwarming stuff!

Matt Wood

Watched Hostiles with the mrs last night. Very good, if somewhat predictable. Worth a watch if you have Netflix.

Ryan

Started watching Barbarians last night while the wife watched Celeb, hmm not to shabby the duping voices were a bit weird mind!

@richard-latimer Definitely, will have to check that out. For me INXS we're an underrated band in this country some of the stuff they released before they made it big in UK with "Kick" was far better.

I'm not a massive fan but Never Tear Us Apart is brilliant. Also the stuff they did on 'The Lost Boys' soundtrack. One of my favourite films from the 80's.

Not on Netflix or Amazon but just finished watching Mystify the documentary about Michael Hutchence. Incredibly sad what happened.
