Game Pass Ultimate or Standard?
"i wanna get cheapest possible way to sub for longest possible time"
Use microsoft-rewards. You could easy get enough points each months to sub for free ;)

With using bing on an edge browser on pc and mobil (or via https://github.com/mikeyaworski/ABS)
you get up to 312 points each day. there are also the small tasks on the reward page (it's mostly just a click).
With this you can get ~400 points each day (some days a bit more, some a bit less)
In germany you need "only" 12k points.
But I only use it for PC so it's 6.8k points so I even have a little buffer.

well at least in germany you get points everyday for just using bing

What I did was buy a 2 year xbox live gold membership from Costco for 95$. Then after I activated the membership I went and activated the game pass ultimate for a month for 1$. It converted all my xbox live months to game pass ultimate. So now I have it for 2 years. I am not sure if you can still do this with the new xbox release date so close. I did this about a month ago.

i believe that's the same thing i heard from my cousin. he prepaid the xbl gold, and when you activate the game pass ultimate for $1, it converts all your time. can't say for sure if it still currently works. perhaps try asking on one of the xbox/gaming subreddits?

it looks like you can still do it. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/gold/upgrade Now as for how long I don't know. Finding a 2 year xbox live subscription is probably going to be hard since they stopped producing them. But you could stack xbox live codes like 3 months, 6 months etc. But you would want to do that before you upgrade to ultimate because my understanding is that once you do it you can't add more xbox live time.

i've never seen any two year cards before, but i used to buy the one year cards from ebay back when i had an xbox.

i don't think linking any individual ebay listings would help since i'm american. looking through these, it seems like a year is gonna cost somewhere around $50~60, plus the extra $1 when you convert to ultimate. honestly still seems like a decent deal since normal price is $15/month.
i actually just found this 2 year sale (3x 8 month cards) for $75. i don't know if they ship international though.

Yeah first you want to go to xbox.com and create your user. Then you can redeem the codes once logged in. Then go to the game pass ultimate which will give you an offer for 1$ for a month. Then it will convert the xbox live time you redeemed from the codes into game pass ultimate. It should give you the time it expires so it should be 2 years out. It will automatically enroll you for reoccurring billing so you will want to go to my account, my subscriptions and turn off automatically billing if you don't want it. Make sure your not canceling, just turning off automatic billing.

Glad it worked! If you have windows 10 you can download games from the Microsoft store with that account as well. I think there is also a game pass ultimate app in the Microsoft store where you can download them too but I haven't tried it yet.

awesome! glad it worked for you and it's good to know this still works. i've been interested in game pass for pc, so i might hop on that train.

I found this unreasonable for me... i buy game and after 2-3h i imagine i dont like it that much and i uninstall it and hide in library (i dont buy on Steam store) so in this way i waste much money.
Pass looks better cuz i simply can try anything i want and play just ones i like. Well i guess i will play only racing games cuz am totally unable to play FPS (favourite genre) on controller. So i basically paying now 3.5€ monthly to play Forza
cant wait to 10.11 to try first console ever :]

not sure about xbox, but i know with ps4 you can hook up mouse and keyboard, at least for some games. it will probably need to be wired, but wireless might(?) work. worth a shot.

Hello guys,
I have pre-ordered Xbox Series X, i should recieve it 10.11. Its my first console ever, so far i used only gaming PC, i bought console... well because why not?
//I got all info i needed. If someone need cheaper Ultimate Pass too just buy Xbox Live Gold (3-6-12 months version but max stackable is 36 months) when you got playtime u want upgrade ur sub to ultimate for 1€ from microsoft offer and its all done. For me it was 84€ for 2 years which is acceptable.
Oh wait, also some chance to win old game, try ur luck HERE
