Might be targeted - wouldn't work for me at home but seems to be showing for me at work. Just bought 5 months worth for just over $27, will get me through to Sea of Thieves.

From reading on whirlpool you can stack up to 2 years. It will say you're buying a new subscription each time but if you check in your account it will tell you the first billing date it should be correct.

Seems like a lot of effort to keep re-buying it. But in any case it doesn't show up for me. Seeing as the "official" deal is $5.48 for the first month and $10.95 thereafter, I'm guessing that this pricing was some sort of error based around the 14 days that you can get as a free trial (i.e. if you forego the free trial and go straight to signing up then it's only fair that your first month would be half price to effectively give you the benefit of the free trial).

Actually, it shows up for me if I use the direct deal link posted at Ozbargain: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/360554" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

This reminds me of that xbl deal that gave free/cheap codes and a few people here stacked a few years worth.

I thought the same thing. I missed that deal though but I do remember it happening.

Apparently original published info said this would be available on Xbox One and Windows 10 but was edited to say Xbox One only. This despite ‘Play Anywhere’ being included in the terms and conditions. You can almost hear the old console guard vs the full integration people thrashing it out.

Ok, I just did 2 years worth. I can see the 24 x $5.48 on my credit card.

This is what it says on my subscriptions page.
AU$10.95 every month, next charge on 2/13/2020 with MasterCard
I guess I'm good for 2 years. :up:

Thx Pilon.

This is what I was referring to when talking about it being on Windows 10 too

https://wccftech.com/xbox-game-pass-pc-exclusives/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It appears it was unclear for many that Xbox Play Anywhere titles can also be played on Windows 10 PC for Xbox Game Pass members, but Microsoft’s Xbox marketing head has now clarified this. “Yes if the title is Xbox Play Anywhere you can play the PC version too if you are a Game Pass member”, Greenberg said.
This reddit post say these titles are play anywhere and Game Pass?

Crackdown 3
Gears of War 4
Halo Wars 2
Halo Wars: Definitive Edition
Recore
Riptide GP: Renegade
Sea of Thieves
State of Decay 2
Zoo Tycoon

Will confirm tonight, I'll try to download Recore on my PC.

Didn't you know that Hercys time is worth more than $120 for 12mins work?

I'll just use the 14 day free trial to play Sea of Thieves. That's about how long a Rare game is enjoyable for.

Shame the Windows 10 selection is pretty bare ATM unless you like Gears

God damn Ninja Gaiden is still as good as ever, except that camera... yeesh. But the combat is still so satisfying.
