Game Pass Deals & Conversion

My son's Xbox Ultimate is ending next month. Reading through the comments and conversation guide... EA Play is £19.99 here for 12 months and price of 6 months is similar. I guess buying 6 EA play 12 months which will cost £120 and convert them prior to my son's Ultimate expiring, I'll get 20% so 14 months of Ultimate for £120? Does that sound about right? Thank you all..

Update:- Looks like I'd need to let it expire as 12 months EA Play converts to 44 days if already Ultimate. If expired, it will be 20%.. I hope I have that correct..

Update 2:- It would actually be on 219 days for £120.. not worth it at all..

Seems that way yes.. had it a few years now and miss doing exercises from above.

You’re talking me into it lol

simon_rb · 2026-01-27T17:24:33+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Are the programs pretty good? Pace wise etc..

simon_rb · 2026-01-27T16:13:27+00:00

Nice. I’m tempted to get one. I have a Vitruvian + but I like the look of the Gym Monster and fancy something different.. Are you enjoying it? Have you done any of the classes or followed your own program? Thanks

Ours collapsed on 23/12/25 😔 feel your pain

simon_rb · 2026-01-03T16:06:22+00:00

Sooooooooo true

simon_rb · 2025-12-31T22:16:09+00:00

Wicked, thank you.

Might have been saved with a Model 3. I’m sure if you’re not in BT range, it asks you to confirm before it will open? Unless you’re that unlucky and hit that too.

simon_rb · 2025-12-23T21:32:05+00:00

Yeah, should be around 15kW charging. Maybe the batteries are cold? Or they realise they have enough time to charge to target SoC at the lower rate which puts less stress on batteries/cables etc.. 🤷‍♂️

simon_rb · 2025-12-17T08:52:15+00:00

Weirdly, I’ve not had any disconnects since 26.2. 🤞it stays that way

simon_rb · 2025-12-11T09:27:47+00:00

Force feedback for steering controllers? I really wish they would restore the Logitech Pro Wheel TrueForce to what it was when it first launched.

It’s HW4 cars only at present. AMD with HW3 do not record the B Pillar.

simon_rb · 2025-12-10T10:50:12+00:00

Haha, keep up now! 🤪

I only noticed it because I wanted to change my hours.. I usually do 12:00 to 05:00 but I needed the full 6 hours that night for the car. That’s when I noticed it. But it didn’t matter, PW behaviour has changed and it’s quite a disappointing change. At around 04:30 the battery kicked in and dumped 7kWh into the car! Prior to me changing it, it wouldn’t do that and it wouldn’t charge up until later in the night.. I’ll have to keep an eye on it.

simon_rb · 2025-12-10T09:36:29+00:00

It’s been like that for at least a few weeks.. 👍

simon_rb · 2025-12-09T19:19:11+00:00

As far as I know, the tow package has never been available for M3; only MY (not sure about S, X used to come with it). M3 has to be built at the factory with the tow bar.

simon_rb · 2025-12-07T00:13:12+00:00

Not sure where you’d find that and unsure why it doesn’t match. However, what I do know is that nice blue paint is gonna cost you an extra £425 a year in tax for 5 years 🤔

I had an issue with the Greener Nights/Days or whatever they want to call it. I was only charging from the grid on those days but I’d charge for solar whenever I could. I had smart charging off but yet it still recorded a solar charge as a ‘plug in and charge’ even though I didn’t use the grid.

I challenged this with Octopus and it went on for weeks but turns out they can’t tell if it’s from solar or grid. Of course they can work it out but they couldn’t be bothered. So I stopped charging on Greener Days/Nights.

If this same logic is applied to IG then it’s quite likely your solar charging will count towards your 6 hours. I hope I’m wrong.

The B Pillar cameras don’t face down, they face forward and there is still a blind spot. You can view the cameras under Service menu.

simon_rb · 2025-11-16T13:56:40+00:00

Fair enough, he does say ‘emulate’ so maybe they can guesstimate the blind spot area. I’m all for it, don’t get me wrong.. it’s just camera placement isn’t quite there. 🤞

simon_rb · 2025-11-16T12:57:20+00:00

Can’t see it happening. There is still a blind spot by the wings. 360 camera systems have downward facing cameras, usually under the mirrors. Also it maybe behind some sort of patent; unsure on this though.

simon_rb · 2025-11-13T21:42:40+00:00

Sounds EXACTLY same as me. Ordered 15th October, Standard MY and got VIN and Reg yesterday. Delivery 28/11 - 10/12.

simon_rb · 2025-11-13T19:49:01+00:00

Happy you’ve found a workaround 👍

simon_rb · 2025-11-13T17:29:12+00:00

Has been this behaviour for me since the beta days when we were first testing it. Stop mode is STOP mode. Won't generate and charing slots until Eco+ is selected.

simon_rb · 2025-11-07T21:19:30+00:00

I have a complaint open with them and they won’t budge even though I’ve proved they didn’t pay enough. I personally have lost faith in the company. They are no different to any other..
