That comes to $4.33 a month. Not bad.

2827

That’s almost as good as the $4.19 I paid with the conversion. Since you’ll need to pay $14.99 to extend it, assuming $150 for 3 years of XBLG, any extension after the first time you do it would cost $4.58/month, so it’s the way to go. It does seem pretty annoying to do 7 days at a time though.

2828

Apparently you can use various codes to knock the price down even more.

2829

I barely use GPU, and it’s still worthwhile even if I only play a single AAA day one release per year.

I got a message from Xbox Live, inviting me to try cloud gaming on Windows 10 (or Mac).

So, what’s a good test game for streaming to a PC?

2831

Forza for me. Instantly know if it works good or not.

2832

Oh god yes! If I download that, it’s a huge footprint, so it’s also a good test game for that reason.

2833

FWIW: eneba is very much grey market.

2834

Thanks.

2835

I’ve heard of a few people having problems with that site.

Those codes might actually have region restrictions.
IIRC they came from snack promotions and so on.

2836

I was able to get my half price PSN Plus code from there a few months ago without hassle.

2837

For $14 bucks, I just gave it a flyer. So far, I’ve only pasted in the 1st 4 of 13 weekly codes, but all good! $4 and change/month for ultimate is a pretty good price.

2838

I’m weak, grey or not I went for it and all 13 weeks applied just fine.

2839

Grey market is perfectly fine morally, IMO. That’s using keys meant for a different locale and priced accordingly lower. Stolen keys, or those acquired through fraud, not so much. The problem is many sites sell both, and you have no way to tell.

2840

I bought a pack of codes, and they all activated fine.

So I bought 8 more packs.

Forty-five minutes later… they activated fine too. And Microsoft didn’t seem to care that I plugged in 100+ codes in a row.

I had several months left on a GPU subscription beforehand, so now it’s extended into 2024. Is there a limit to how far into the future I can extend a subscription?

2841

Three years, last I checked.

2842

3 years was the limit to conversions from xblg, but I don’t know if that’s also the limit to how much time you can bank.

2843

It’s the limit you can bank as well.

2844

I’m close to the 3-year limit then.

Thanks for linking the deal, Timex!

2845

Yep. Entered in my bunch of codes today.
