Microsoft has not promised that the Series X will have full backwards compatibility with everything. They have only promised that it will run the same games as Xbox One does.

Microsoft isn’t saying “full backwards compatibility”. I’m expecting it to run any non-Kinect Xbox One title, including titles already backwards-compatible; but if it won’t play on Xbox One today, it doesn’t sound like it’ll play on the Series X.

Too bad Microsoft is done with adding new backwards-compatible titles on Xbox One - would have loved to see the first two games get added to the roster.

Only if I were delaying all of them - looking at the numbers, it’s about half. (In my case the equation isn’t even cloudy - even without the slow shipping credits, the extra cash back on the Amazon credit card pays for the Prime membership by itself.)

Apparently so!

I wouldn’t call $80/year in promotional credits towards Kindle books I’d buy anyways “inconsequential”.

That was football, not video games.

For gasoline, they *know* that the legislature isn’t going to change taxes in the next 5 minutes before you complete your purchase. There’s no guarantee that taxes won’t change between when you book the room and when you finally stay there. They could only do that if you were to prepay the room in its entirety.

The makers of the game licensed the brand from Dish (as you can see in the legalese on the back of the box).

Just because the contract doesn’t say they won’t transfer control of the store pages, doesn’t mean they have to. This isn’t Frogware’s intellectual IP; it’s a database entry that Focus Home created and managed.

If the contract didn’t say that Focus Home had to transfer control, Frogware should have had no expectation…

A cheap remaster/port seems more likely now - it would probably be more profitable for Frogware to do that than to try to get the 360/PS3 versions relisted.

If all else were equal you could argue that. However, in the face of changing federal standards for safety and efficiency, it’s impossible to say how much (if any) of that MSRP increase is to pay for incentives, and how much is to pay for implementing regulatory-required changes.

Private insurance is still a thing in countries that have a public health care system, and employers will continue to offer that (effectively going back to the system when health insurance first spread widely, during World War II).

Employees would end up paying for Medicare out of pocket; they’re not going to get a…

Personally, I think it comes down to the spotting. The Death Star battle is scored pretty much wall-to-wall, while most of the podrace is missing music.

Yes, they know what one is and have had one implemented for games for a while. What they don’t know how to implement is documentation of why something was rejected, or an appeals process.

Employer match amounts are percentage-based, And not all 401(k) vendors allow electing a specific dollar amount, they only allow a percentage.

Not by anybody who read the books.

Doesn’t matter how long it is or isn’t. If you want the privilege of shooting on location instead of in a studio, you work around the people there; you don’t make them work around you.

I do. The PS4 doesn’t render the dashboard in 3D on a 3D TV, only the few games that support it (e.g. Zen Pinball 2).

“Official” just means that they paid the publisher for a license.
