Xbox Live Gold goes for $1 during upcoming Xbox store spring sale

On Friday, Microsoft announced the 2017 Xbox store spring sale, which will see games and more discounted through the platform’s digital storefront from Tuesday through April 17. Xbox Live Gold subscribers will receive additional discounts as well.
The biggest news for any Xbox 360 or Xbox One owners who somehow haven’t yet upgraded to an Xbox Live Gold subscription will be that starting now, until April 17, Gold subscription upgrades go for just $1 for the first month. Xbox Live Gold normally goes for anywhere from $5 to $10 per month, depending how many months you buy at once, so that could be considered a sizeable discount for some users.
There are of course a ton of games going on sale, plus an assortment of movies, apps, music, and TV, but the other surprise is that Xbox Design Lab custom controllers will be discounted $15 off their usual price of $80. If you’ve had the perfect design in mind for a while, looks like Tuesday will be the time to make it a reality.
And then, of course, there are the games. The video above calls out a handful of marquee titles and briefly flashes the box art for many more. These are, in no particular order:
  • Overwatch
  • Watch Dogs 2
  • Battlefield 1
  • Forza Horizon 3
  • Titanfall 2
  • Halo Wars 2
  • FIFA 17
  • The Escapists
  • South Park: The Stick of Truth
  • Call of Duty Black Ops 3
  • The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition
  • BioShock Infinite
  • NBA 2K17
  • Ratchet and Clank
  • April 11-17
  • Red Dead Redemption
  • Ryse: Son of Rome
  • Grant Theft Auto IV
  • Gears of War 4
  • Rainbow Six Siege
  • Bully: Scholarship Edition
  • Sniper Elite III
  • Deus Ex Human Revolution
  • The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
  • Grand Theft Auto V
  • XCOM: Enemy Within
  • Silence
  • Killer Instinct: Definitive Edition
  • ReCore
  • Astroneer
There will be many more games on sale, though, as the video specifically says there will be “over 350 offers.” The discounts will run as high as 67 percent, with Xbox Live Gold subscribers taking an addition discount, up to 10 percent more. Sometimes it pays to pay.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

UPDATE  1 : 2019/12/16 4:35AM PST Previous rollouts UPDATE  2 : 2020/01/06 2:15AM PST Canada Two weeks after the  Galaxy S10 line received its stable One UI 2.0 build , it’s time for the Galaxy Note10 and Note10+ to get the latest Android flavor. According to a report by  SamMobile , the two late-2019 Samsung flagships are receiving the Android 10 update in Germany, although the rollout is limited to a small group of beta testers. This stable release follows a  five-round beta testing  that concluded just a couple of days ago. Samsung is rolling out the stable build only to its beta testers in Germany to possibly look out for any major bug. Besides SamMobile, the confirmation also comes from  some Redditors  who got the update in Germany just a few hours back. The same Reddit users also mention that Google Pay remains broken even after installing this final Android 10 firmware, although it wasn’t immediately clear how widespread the issue is. The Android 10-bas
