So, what did everyone grab in the sale? I wound up with...

I ended up getting way more than I thought I would, though only three of the games were on sale.

Pac-Man 256

Ace Combat 7

The Division 2

Borderlands GOTY

Final Fantasy X/X-2

Surprisingly I've been plugging away at The Division 2 almost nightly since I bought it. I bounced off the first during the trial and when it was in game pass but the sequel has been way easier to get into. Mostly playing solo but have jumped into some requests for backup and have had a good enough time that I should find a group to join or something.

As for the rest of the stuff I've put an hour or so into each of them and have enjoyed them so far. This is like the third time I've owned FFX and I'm determined to play more than an hour of it this time. I finally beat VII for the first time this year and unlocked all the achievements, which might just be the shove I needed to get through these FF games.

Lastly a small rewards warning for anyone thinking about signing up for game pass ultimate if they bring back the signups. It seems like MS rewards might not be showing people who are ultimate as a member of either game pass or gold. The game pass quests have disappeared from the Xbox app for me and on the website it shows me as level 2 rewards member but without the Gold bonus. That means i'm missing out on 40pts per dollar on purchases from Xbox that was supposed to last till June I think. I know some people were getting as many as 100 points per dollar spent, normally its 20 points per dollar with gold or 10 without. Works out ok for me as I got nearly three years of free game pass out of this testing phase, so I probably won't be missing the bonus points if they stay gone for awhile.
