    When Xbox did this you paid monthly, subscribed to game pass and at the end of two years you owned the console. It was also less expensive than the separate cost of console and subscription, to the tune of 1p. 😂

      In the US I think I saved $20 at the end of 2 years by getting the console and gamepass bundle. Then canceled gamepass when they raised the price.

    You’ll own nothing. And be happier for it.

    Is what corporations and the predatory class would have we believe.

    companies like Sony literally created the economic conditions that make this disgusting tactic unsurprising to see btw.

    I paid $30-something a month for an Xbox Series X and GamePass for 2 years. And I got to keep the Xbox!

    (Xbox All Access. It’s no longer offered. And you saved $20 if you did it, at the original price of GamePass Ultimate, $15/month, it’s since doubled in price since they told Congress buying Activision would lower prices for consumers.)
