i was clearing out my email and discovered that i kept many emails for Xbox purchases since 2018. Being a whatever i am, i inputted the receipts in a spreadsheet. How out of control did i get with spending on individual video games during the span of 2018-2022 (not including Game Pass Ultimate)? It feels like this is not all there is (some seem missing).
$1,140.30 (for 118 digital games).
$460+ of that could be accounted for with Bing/Microsoft Rewards Xbox Gift Cards. There were probably some gift card actual gifts in there too.
Yeah, that seems a little high (and i might not have really paid all of them). Many of these were decent discounts (under $10), however some were overpays, like: Yakuza Like a Dragon. Some were overpriced Backwards Compatibility digital copies.
This does not include: Immortals Fenix Rising ($43.95), Assassin's Creed Valhalla ($26.40), Halo Guardians ($8.78), Borderlands GOTY ($10.87), Forza Horizon 4 ($28.01) purchased digitally at Amazon.com.
Now, the Xbox Series S that i barely have used (decent machine) is another story (with Game Pass it doesn't have the storage space i would prefer, i would always want to use the Xbox One version of games). Also, my launch Xbox One still works pretty well.
