"Sheltered" has been fun, I've got an Easy survival play that has turned into a too easy thriving thing. but it's given me a good look at what's needed and how to get it.

The Escapists - Do it quiet (dig a tunnel), do it loud (start a riot), or do something else entirely-it doesn't matter as long as the job gets done in this acclaimed top-down prison break simulator. (Epic Games Store, ends September 30)

Thanks again!
I've recently dipped into the huge unplayed library and beat little nightmares. Now playing "inside" which is another very similar spooky platformer type.

Just so you're aware, the trick to pre-purchase 3 years of Xbox live subscription and then swap to the $1 free trial of Ultimate which then, because you already pre-purchased Xbox Live for 3 years, you then get a full 3 years plus one month of Ultimate (Gamepass) for that $1 total.

Yeah, as of Sept, it was reported this still worked.

Too bad I didn't know that before I signed up. At least I got 2-month of Ultimate for the promo rate.

So there is still a way to get cheaper Ultimate monthly. MS will still honor those prepaid codes for Xbox Live. So if you're able to find some online codes for $60 but they are discounted to $55, $50, etc, then MS will convert the months of Xbox Live the code was worth into an equivalent dollar amount for GamePass.

Ex: $60 XBL used to be for an entire year of XBL but GamePass is $15 a month. So that means that one $60 XBL prepaid card will be converted to only 4 months of GamePass.

Yeah, not as good a deal but it's still a way to get at least some discount.

Can you walk a noob through this? I only have a PC and am jonesing for some AOE4, but ain't gonna shell out $60, was waiting for Xmas or NewYears sale. On the website I have 4 options for sub, I go to Xbox Gold and 3 months is the longest I can purchase at once.

EDIT: NM - My lazy arse just googled 2nd edit - added a quicker top one


I guess trick is not to enter or give or let them already have your credit card info @ 5:32

The only "trick" is not having a current Xbox Live paid subscription active as far as I know and turn off recurring billing. I did this process in July when my Game Pass ran out and it didn't matter that my info was already there. I bought my Xbox Live codes somewhere else and redeemed them through Microsoft though.

Nope! I had both my CC info for autopay and an active Xbox Live account with like 10 months left and i was able to plus up and get 2.5 yrs of GamePass for only $1 total.

The real trick is that you HAVE to buy prepaid cards for Xbox Live. Then you input the codes into your Live account and max that out to about 3 years of prepaid. Once you're at 3 years, THEN you takeup MS on their offer to 'try' GamePass for only a $1.

MS will see you have pre-existing time left on your Live and convert that to prepaid GamePass time. That means that they will not begin charging your CC for the GamePass monthly fee until you burn through all your prepaid Live time left over and then that additional month as a GamePass free trial.

What that ends up being is that you pay for Xbox Live now, you get to use XBlive AND GamePass on Xbox and PC and your card is not charged for 3 years.
