XBOX and FIRE TV join forces! Get your Gamepass ready and LET'S GO! unpackreboot.com/ / unpackreboot #firetvstick4k #firetvstick #xbox #gamepass #xboxgamepass
Very bad concept. Great for innovation. But bad because we will never own anything. One week will have GTA 6 then next they can take it away. Having a console and a disc/ physical copy means “it’s yours”.
It's rough for sure. Lost several games to "onLive", a couple to Stadia, but also will be in the same boat if any PC storefront at this point shuts down too.
@@BobStallmanArchUser I’ve already known bud. Once system link for Xbox went away and we couldn’t play online with just plugging the Ethernet cable in. (The good ol day)
@@D3ZG1978 The game developers, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo and so on. Just as some games are 20% off this month then, free the next. All they have to do it shut down the servers and the game is no more. Like old, old online games.
No more consoles is a redicolous statment, xbox is only providing the cloud gaming option which is by far the lightest catalogue of games provided by game pass compared to games pass console and PC. Also to note xbox game pass / cloud gaming can be side loaded onto the majority of smart TV sets, this is not a new capability.
All good points. It was mostly directed at the market Microsoft is going for by implementing this....the casual gamer who may not have a console or those on the fence for buying one. Now they can have a good time without a big purchase. Appreciate the feedback!
I don't think they intended it to "cOmParE tO oWnInG aN XbOx sEriES x." Merely, it is another option for cost conscious consumers who enjoy gaming. And Game Pass has become a wasteland anyway with rising fees and the loss of day one access. So tell me, what are you really defending...your giant black cube that sits on your TV stand.
They even added a Prime Day bundle for it with xbox controller, fire stick and 1 month of gamepass. Would definitely say for single player gaming more.
Why tho 😂😂😂 no1 is buying Xbox.. lowest ever console sales in their entire history.. and the fact they are also counting this stick as a console sale is mental.
@@hulkhogan12345 you putting those stupid laughing emojis instantly lets me know that you’re a hater. A Sony fanboy and are delusional. Xbox always has the faster and stronger processor out of the 2 consoles. So if you want to be dumb and pay for something inferior then go right ahead. No one cares what you think waste your money on, and I literally mean “WASTE”. You hate on Xbox so bad yet the moment Xbox started the Game Pass to let its players play more games on a subscriber PlayStation started copying and doing the same thing and now Nintendo Switch is doing the same thing. Don’t copy what you hate since you hate it.
How does it compare to Stadia's performance? I used to be able to play games without any problems with a sub 50Mbps cable broadband connection. Even cloud gaming on my Xbox Series S doesn't perform as well as that. I wonder who bought Stadia/Google's streaming tech?
I want to do a little more testing since we tried it day 1, but I feel that Stadia did better and Luna feels a little better too as of right now. Last I saw, google was trying to license the tech to partners.
I have a feeling it will just add a few more players to the ecosystem that already have fire sticks instead of using a computer or phone. More simplicity and less effort for people
Wouldn't be surprised if they were doing server updates or something, I think it was down a few days before launch. As usual, nothing said as to why. Curious as to how many new players this adds vs players that already have it and just playing on a new tv.

You are late to the party broski

Ridiculous*
This cant compare to owning a Xbox Series X.

Pretty compelling setup IMO.

Xbox ain’t cooking!
Xbox be burning the FOOD!!
I mean, they do have an official toaster 🔥
Microsoft needed to make their own Xbox TV box like Apple does. Then you ca. Access Game Pass just like you can with Apple Arcade
They were making a streaming device but shelved it...... Have a feeling it won't see the light of day if this drives numbers

If one day it doesn’t run like a bag of pants this statement might be true….
That's pretty funny......bag of pants.....

Xbox cloud Gaming came out in 2019 and nothing have changed
And the Console sells have not dropped since it came out
I have a feeling it will just add a few more players to the ecosystem that already have fire sticks instead of using a computer or phone. More simplicity and less effort for people
Its ok for games like persona or Octopath but i would not play a "real" game on it.
Pretty much just stick to mostly single player.... Some games with more forgiving combat like a lot of open world games seem to do well enough
It’s official, Xbox is dead and there is no point in owning an Xbox Series console. PlayStation has officially won the console race thank goodness.
Sony has been in the lead for a while. I think we will have 1 more console cycle and that will probably be it.
...is that why it shut down that day....?
