Re: Xbox One

Yeah I'm leaving the tacobox out of it because my wife uses it and last thing I want is for her to have to wait on an update every other use.

I noticed something by accident that I would like someone else to try. I turned HDR off on my console and then rebooted it. I then noticed I had a brightness slider instead of a HDR calibration slider. I then toggled HDR back on (still have a brightness slider) without rebooting my console and Red Dead 2 looks better than it ever has.

I thought I was going crazy at first when the brightness slider appeared or thought they patched HDR out. This may have been discussed or maybe I’m just wacko due to late nights from playing this game. But, I feel like this has made a huge difference for me.

Re: Xbox One

So I just bought my X a few weeks ago and was going to wait until it gets closer to the holidays to utilize my free month of Games Pass. With this $1 promo, I'm wondering if I should pounce on that first then use my free month? I haven't seen it written in stone, but from what I gather the $1 promo is for new subscribers. I'm guessing I can use the free month code that came with the system whenever.

Am I correct in this assumption? Should I buy the $1 promo first?

I got a free month with my X purchase and couldn’t use it because I subscribed before. Which is lame as **** imo.

Re: Xbox One

I would just use the free month because if you use the $1 for the first month, the code becomes invalid like Ricky says. On the bright side, six months and one year codes should be half price later this month.

With Mutant Year Zero (stealth turn based strategy RPG) being added to Game Pass day one (December 4th) as well as Ashen already being confirmed for Game Pass and should be released in late December as the official announcement will come at The Game Awards and finally, Gears 5 in a year from now and hopefully, Battletoads and Gears Tactics at some point in 2019 as well, $60 for a year of Game Pass basically covers everything and then some for me.
