Wow that was quick! Only for 49.99 too? Great deal.

Edit: it's also on GamePass.

Why has no one mentioned this game yet? Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 looks absolutely insane and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy. It is a JRPG that mixes final fantasy like turn based combat with quick time reaction events and looks like a masterpiece. The story sounds phenomenal and the graphics are also amazing the physical copies are already sold out and I have heard nothing but good things about this game. I think I know what game I'm voting for when GOTY comes around.

Well, that didn’t take long at all.

Microsoft to raise the price of all Xbox Series consoles by $100 with software hitting $80, matching the cost of some Nintendo Switch 2 games

Some first-party titles will get a price hike later this year

Edit: Expect PlayStation to follow suit shortly even though they’ve avoided raising prices in the US for years. Also I’d advise all of you to start expecting Next Gen to approach $1,000.

It looks good but I *despise* turned based combat LOL anything turn based is an automatic deal breaker for me

I also full expect Sony to do the same, but it's funny that the 2TB Xbox Series X is now currently more expensive than the PS5 Pro

Based on what, exactly? I'm not trying to downplay the impact of what's happening here, but we're years away from next-gen, and there's no telling where we'll be economically by that point.

It's all Nintendo's fault since their console is so expensive and they also expect people to buy $80 games. I would not spend $80 for specific games let alone Mario Kart. I was hoping that Xbox and PlayStation would not follow Nintendo and be against what Nintendo is doing but sadly this is making it look like it wont be true.

I also don't like turn based combat but that is because it normally feels like I can not dodge the attacks of the enemies and bosses. This sounds great to be since I would need to do a quick time event to dodge the attacks of enemies instead of just getting hit my the attack and needing to heal myself and lose one of my character's turn.
