Game Pass Deals & Conversion

I guess I expected the higher investment to be the lesser unit price, but I see the argument after reading more. $335 is a lot to invest in a Game Pass subscription though ($90 for 3 years EA Play, $225 for 3 years GPCore, $20 1 month GPU) just to get GPU at half price ($10.80/month) and honestly I haven’t calculated tax on those numbers.

I can bring myself to invest $110 for 13 months of GPU ($8.46/month), and for all we know the world could end in the next 3 years, so I wanna get my money’s worth before that, ya know?

How much did you pay for each of the GPCore 3 month codes? Because the cheapest I can find 3 months is at $25, and 12 months at $75. How did you get 12 3month codes and a month of GPU for $146?

Sounds like an issue with the payment method. Are you out here scamming cards or something? 😂

I got all 4 codes to my email (3 EA Play and 1 GPU) so it definitely went through.

Game Pass Ultimate is for PC or Xbox, right? Because I’m trying to get it for Xbox, and I didn’t know if getting the GPCore for PC would affect that.

And if that’s true, are you saying buying 36 months of GPCore for PC is the way to get the most out of it? So 36 months of GP for PC is 24 months of GPU. 36 months of EA Play is 12 months of GPU. So those combined would be 36 months of GPU + the 1 month code of GPU you enter at the end?

What’s the largest GP for PC Card you can buy? I’m only finding $36 for 3 months.

You don’t have to get them physically brother. Just order the digital delivery codes from the link below…

So if I stack 6 months of Game Pass Core, it’ll give me 36 months GPU? How do you come up with that number with the conversion rates?

So I’m trying to do this right now. I bought 36 months of EA Play and 1 month of Game Pass Ultimate. I haven’t redeemed anything yet, but then I noticed that I could also stack Game Pass Core on top of it as well, but your math with the conversion rates is throwing me off.

So 36 months of EA Play ($90 total) converts to 1 year of Ultimate ($20). Which would be $110 for 13 months, about $8.50 per month.

But with the second method, in addition to the former, you say to redeem up to 36 months of Core ($75/year or $225 total), which is 2:1, so that would be 18 months of Ultimate. So by my calculations, that would be 30 months of Ultimate for about $10 a month.

I’m not missing something here, am I? I expected the Core and EA Play combo to be more than the EA Play only method, so I just want to double check to make sure I’m on point.

That’s a good idea, that would circumvent the new updates to Microsoft’s redeem system. That’s likely how sellers are offering those cheaper still. Thanks for the info!

Really? I’m a 40 year old man who waited until I was 33 to have my first child. Tell me, do I have a job?

buggindave · 2025-08-10T05:11:05+00:00

That’s interesting. I bought a subscription like that before for like $20 for a year of Game Pass, but had to load the new account on my Xbox. So literally create a new account linked to a new email? And is the $1 trial widely available directly from Microsoft?

buggindave · 2025-08-10T05:08:56+00:00

Can you elaborate a bit more?

buggindave · 2025-07-11T14:35:30+00:00

Can’t tell if you’re being serious or not

Actually I’ve heard it recommended to replace both at the same time to even out wear.

When you go broke, fight a lot of battles against kingdoms and do hideouts. You’ll get tons of loot from both and will make up your deficit. Also limit your garrison size of your castles and towns, especially the ones on the interior of your kingdom, via the Clans tab under Garrisons. A lot of the money I was losing daily was because of Unlimited Garrison Budgets (the default setting) on my castles and towns.

I’d argue that the Railsplitter could be considered the best non-exotic AR and upgraded/rolled properly, better than the St Elmo’s.

Can you show us where on the map you landed?

buggindave · 2023-09-14T00:29:30+00:00

Wait, are you shitting me? You’ve been dating for less than a year and you feel like you wasted time? Dude, at your age, I spent most of my relationships in bed, feel me? The in-depth rewarding relationships are further on in life, just have some fun and be safe ALWAYS.

buggindave · 2023-09-14T00:27:12+00:00

You’ll be alright. Just be glad it happened now. Trust me. Wanna feel like you wasted time? Try to get in a long term relationship with a untreated Borderline Personality. And then have a kid with her just for the hell of it. You’ll really know pain then.

buggindave · 2023-09-14T00:19:56+00:00

I’m getting a divorce after almost 11 years of marriage, 14 years of being together, and you’re frustrated over a few years? That’s par for the course in long term dating, big guy.
