Its crazy! I've done alot of reading up on Gamepass and its profit. Obviously Microsoft is going for the Netflix of games route, they are Microsoft and I think are spending huge money to make it successful.

So I guess I don't need to try to find a PS5 in less than 3 weeks now. I won't be able to play it next gen right away (only have the Xbox One), but that's ok.

Yep, even if they are taking a loss right now, Microsoft can afford to for the long-term benefit

Wow, this is incredible. The only bad thing is waiting an extra 4 days to play, but I'm saving $85!

Am I the only one who feels this punishes PlayStation users? That's why I'm surprised by this. Perhaps presales were lower than expected and it's a short-term tease to get XBox users hip to the game? Maybe they pull it a month later?

I don't think it punishes Sony users. Xbox has done this with other multiplatform games like Outer Worlds (Which I think is still on Game pass since launch). My guess is that it stays on Game Pass pretty long. Can't remember a game that was only on Game Pass for a short period of time.

It's on Sony to come up with a similar model / service to combat this. I am on XSX, PS5 and Switch and like that they have different reasons to own them all.

Wow, truly wish this also had a PC release because despite not planning to buy it anytime soon unless impressions show the logic has really changed the game, I'd be playing this the day it became available. The Show is far from a bad game, it just lacks enough changes that I'm interested in to warrant a full-price purchase at the moment. I'd gladly take the game for free and play the heck out of it.

Amazing get for Microsoft even it is is only for a month or two.
