Trading in the S? What's the deal?
$250 trade in credit, plus $100 off the X if you buy Red Dead.

Definitely not worth picking in a draft of any kind.

Transferred all my data to an external hard drive and reset my Xbox. Guess this is definitely happening now.

I'm interested in it purely from the "turn it on and the games are there" aspect. Of course, I also have $100 of Google store credit so it's only $30 for me to jump in.

I’m pissed that Days Gone and Death Stranding are PS4 exclusives. The X has ruined PS4 for me so it’s hard to get excited about playing games on it. And I’m definitely not shelling out for a Pro.

I have watched videos of Death Stranding and I have no idea still what the fuck that game is. Kojima has his loyal followers but I still don't get it.

Days Gone I haven't played yet but I've heard it's same old zombie game that drags on far too long. Not bad, but just decent.
