Jan's right a man sucking his own beard-braid is the worst thing I've heard in a long time.

I'll share my 2 cents on PS+extra as someone who is not buying new games a lot or playing everything the year it comes out...that mid-tier seems great. Lots of games I haven't touched. Given the the available time I have, I still won't touch much, but things I have seen and was interested are showing up. That's great value from my pov as an increasingly 'patient gamer'.

Ubisoft+ is also a pretty reasonable deal when you consider they always include the most premium, deluxe editions of their games with all the subsequent DLCs, which is very much not the case with Game Pass even for first party titles. No more mental energy expended on considering if some expansion pack is worth picking up; whatever, it's all there already anyway.

Cannot imagine why you would want to keep up a subscription for an extended amount of time, such as all year round, but for holding a marathon month of Assassin's Creed / Far Cry / Watch Dogs it's a hell of a deal. Last year they gave away a month for free, and I used it for playing through Far Cry 6 plus Watch Dogs Legion and its expansion without spending a dime. All my spare time that month had to be spent on Ubisoft, haha, but it was a rather good time all in all. Definitely would not have regretted actually paying the Ubisoft+ asking price for it, but since I'm never in a hurry to play games on release, I might as well do it when it's free or heavily discounted.

yall really like that zelda, eh?

also if PS5 is your primary platform and you don't play everything, PS+ extra is a total no-brainer great deal.

I'll admit, the Tears of the Kingdom final trailer looked interesting, but you guys are overhyping that game waaaay too much. And this is coming from a Zelda fan since I was 8 years old. One thing is for sure, this game is going to get 10s across the board, regardless of the game's flaws. I'll likely wait until a better Switch comes out and get that version of the game.

Grubb now has an excuse for any accidental transitions - he can just blame it on Addy!
