I've just seen some info on this service on Xbox One but was wondering what you get for the £19.99 a year? Is anyone using it?

I'm not going to pay that money for the privilege of 10% off or limited access to games, but if it has some free games (even two years old) i'll pull the trigger now and enjoy some more games with kiddo at home.

I don't have it and probably wouldn't bother. You get so many free games with Gold now anyway - it's a struggle to manage hard drive space!

The games are terrible most of the time. Only ones worth noting for me in the last year have been Worms and Assasins Creed Black Flag.

i'm hoping the windows 10 backward compatibility allows 360 games to be free/played from Gold..

You can load the app and see what's available, at last count I think there was about 12 games included, mostly sport, but plants v zombies is there along with BF4 and a need 4 speed.

Hey for 3.99 for a months access you can always bin it off after then if it's not for you.

See if BF4 and Need for Speed are included I'd do it for them, always been a PS gamer fan and had all the NFS for them over the years and BF4 has recently caught my eye.

You get 10 hours of free access to the brand new star wars battlefield game. Up to you whether that tips the balance...

You can get it for a month and cancel...but no idea how hard cancelling is - check first!

Been a member since day 1. Worth it for the early access but comes into its own with the free games. Battle field 4, battle field hardline are free and decent games which for me are worth £19.99 a year.

Bit the bullet, giving it a months trial @ £3.99 and if I get decent usage I'll get the £19.99 paid.

So far so good..

If it was available on PS4 I'd probably subscribe, 10 hour free early access to games coming out (most recently NFS and Star Wars) would probably swing it for me for at least a couple months.
