Might as well get it started. Who's looking forward to it? I personally think that it could beat PS5, that is if they don't screw up. They need a basic UI, more first party titles, and focus only on gaming. They own the license to Rare games, we need to see new Conkers, Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazooie, etc. They did alright with Killer Instinct, I'll give them that, but they're sitting on a lot of games that needs remade, remastered, and sequels.
As far as I know, it's slightly more powerful than the PS5, which isn't a big deal. But what is a big deal is that it will come with more storage. XBSX will have 1TB, which I admit, is not much by today's standards. The PS5 will have 825GB, which is ridiculous. I'm guessing that the next gen games will be around 100gb or more in size on average. If that is the case, I expect the discs will be on 4k UHD blu-rays.

They'd have to pay me a lot more than $10 per month to use that crappy search engine.

Looks like the 3rd grade puerile insults have leaked out of the liberal circle jerk threads again with this hilarious zinger.

Outside of this thread I've never seen anyone admit to using Bing. At least you get something out of it though.

I don’t use Bing and have never. I just think it’s injustice that the internet is gated by a middle school level spelling test. That’s indoctrination.

LOL now i have a mental image of closet Bing users.
"Hey, honey - I'm doing some Amazon shopping for Christmas and accidentally closed a tab... is there a way to re-open it?"
"Uh, yeah, you just click on the History button and it should show you the last few pages you were on, you can find it there. Wait, which computer are you on?"
"Thanks! I'm on your laptop. So History..."
"Wait, I"
click
"HONEY, WE NEED TO TALK RIGHT NOW."
I can explain!
"Do you take me for a fool? All these years together and you never told me you sometimes used Bing? That's it, I'm finding a divorce lawyer."
keystroke sounds as they type divorce lawyer into the address bar.
"It's even your default search engine? I thought I knew you! I'm sorry but... this is for the best."
gunshot sound

One thing I used to think was so very cringe was how Jimmy Fallon would try so hard to promote Bing (I guess MS and NBC were doing some partnership? I dunno the details) but it's like he kept forcing that word "Bing" as if he wanted all viewers as well to replace "Google" from their vocabulary with Bing just because he was getting paid to do so.
This had to have been a decade or more ago because I stopped watching any of the late night talk shows on NBC after the way they handled the Conan situation (plus Fallon is trash anyway).

Ya Bing is just one of those things that never took off. It's not very good and doesn't give me basic results half the time like Google, DDG, and Brave serve up. I think it's funny they have to bribe people to use it and it's still not being used.
I keep thinking they'll kill it for good like their horrible windows phones but i guess they're still going to try to keep it going for a little while.

Ok….like I don’t use it to actually search for anything 🤣🤣 I do it for the free money. You can literally spam a letter and then just take one away each search. It’s literally seconds of my day whenever I do think to do it.

I do the Bing rewards stuff...basically I click a few links and answer some light trivia while on the toilet in the morning. It takes maybe 5 mins a day and I usually end up with $10 xbox credit each month without actually using Bing to search, I just do the daily stuff and also the Xbox rewards (via the GamePass app). Every day you earn an Achievement, that's 50 points. It's really not anything I wouldn't already be doing, and I still don't need to use Bing.

I've been claiming the Bing points for a long while, normally redeem for MS store credit to buy games/DLC and that's served me well. I will jump on the Edge browser, gross I know, but they give 20 extra points/day for searches on there. I just go across the trending topics to get the 170pts, then do the handful of daily extras. I try to remember to do that everyday as they give consecutive day bonuses, but I forget often.
I don't generally use it on my phone, which would give another 100/day. I then try to do the GP related things on my XSX and/or phone with the cloud gaming app.
I agree Bing and Edge are generally crap but all of the free games and such that I've redeemed over the years has been well worth it. I'd guess I've used the points to buy at least 20 games, possibly more. I did get a year or two of Gold as well I believe.

@Slickriven if you want to get that extra 100pts/day, you can do the mobile searches by just using the mobile responsive view on your desktop. Right-click>Inspect Page, then click the icon that looks like a phone on top of a tablet.

Just got 3 years of GPU for $108 using the Gold Conversion/auto renew trick. I'm good for a while.

I have a PS5 arriving tomorrow and God of War Ragnarok on Friday. That game is literally the single reason I was waiting to get a PS5 and I'm stoked.
I'm going to swap my XSX with my son's XSS for now because I won't really be playing anything on Xbox until I beat GOW2. And he's been wanting to play some of our physical games so it's kind of a win-win although I really can't stomach the XSS resolution at this point.
Interestingly my research for PS5 exclusives (that I want to play) hasn't resulted in as long a list as I expected. Lots of PS4 stuff I missed once I got the XSX (even though we still have a PS4). So I'm interested to see what I think of GP on the XSS when I have a PS5.
I still admire Xbox taking more chances than Sony. But God of War.

GOW2 primarily. Then Astro-bot, Horizon 2, Ratchet & Clank Rift, Mies Morales, Sackboy, and then some PS4 upgraded games like Days Gone, Last of Us 2, Tsushima (again), and Uncharted 4 (again). That's what I'm going to start with.
