The fun never ends. Clearly xbox is failing so they are trying their hardest to extract as much money as possible from whoever still hasnt sold their console yet

Xbox consoles are now getting a fullscreen Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ad at boot, just a day after a 50% price hike was announced

    I mean, I'll give them some money to activate developer mode so I can install emulators on my Xbox. I don't need emulators on my Xbox but it's gonna sit there doing nothing otherwise because I'm not paying for Gamepass

    Why? It doesn't cost them anything to flip that bit on hardware that you own.

    If there's a way to activate dev mode without paying them I don't know about it

    Huh? Just get an old Dell optiplex tower on Ebay or Craigslist and install Batocera on it. It'd probably cost a similar amount

  • I already own an Xbox, there's no earthly way that buying an old anything would be cheaper than paying the small developer mode activation charge for the console I already have (bought second hand a few years ago from a friend who had used it 3 times)
