What exactly is wrong with the simple play and charge kit, I have used it since the X was released and my pads hold their charge for ages.

The only thing I can see as to why people would use ordinary batteries is if they wanted to charge a spare set up whilst using another set in their controller. So then when they run out, you can swap them over and continue playing wirelessly. Otherwise you would have to connect via the cable using the play and charge kit. Although if you set your console to instant-on and connect your controller up, you can charge it when you are not playing. There's certainly enough juice in that little battery pack to last an entire day.

I see, I can go a week or more without charging with the play and charge pack, but I don't play everyday, maybe 3 days a week on and off. I found that I can charge my pad with the play and charge kit when my console is off and in energy saving mode.

Oh, maybe that works also. I thought it was like PlayStation and you had to leave it in rest mode to charge up. (It's been ages since I've used Xbox now.)

It's only 1400 mAh and the capacity drops off a cliff after a year or so. I'd been through 2 play and charge kits before I switched to Eneloop. The standard Eneloop are 1900 mAh and after 10 years will still retain 70% capacity.

I thought the same at first, but then noticed when I turn the X off with the charge kit connected still, a little orange light on the cable is still active and after a while changes to white, which I presume means fully charged.

Ah ok, had my play/charge kit for about 2 years and still is perfectly fine, but I'm not a heavy gamer so usage is minimal.
 
Sigh, so now the Blu-ray player has died. I bought a bargain farCry 5 to tide me over until Red Dead's cheaper, I haven't used it for months as I usually buy digital. I can't get it to load anything, games, Blu-Ray, 4K Blu-Ray or DVD. So annoying, that's the third time it's got to go back.
 
Microsoft have bought InXile Entertainment and Obsidian on board as well.

Also Hellblade coming to Gamepass, free DLC for State of Decay 2, new game mode for Sea of Thieves, some extra content added to Kingdom Hearts
 
Pubg coming to game pass is a few months too late I feel. I imagine numbers are dwindling so this is a good way to get them back up...especially with the PS4 release looming.
 
They announced quite a few interesting things:

Starting today through January 3, you can sign up for Xbox Game Pass and receive your first full month for just £1. Also xbox live £1 for first month too.
