#NuNews: Pre-Order Edition

Who would have thought throwing money at Microsoft was so hard? 

 

Join us as we regale our pre-order stories - who got a new Xbox, who almost missed out and who didn't even bother.

Did you get a new Xbox? Which one did you get? 

 

In the most shocking and disruptive gaming news in forever, Microsoft has bought Zenimax Media, and by extension Bethesda! From "having no games" to having "all the games", we go over the media reaction to this. And question those who have suddenly changed their tune from 'Exclusives are good on PS4" to "please Microsoft, don't make DOOM exclusive!" Phil is not playing around this generation, and Xbox looks to be making all the right moves. 

 

Halo 3: ODST crash lands onto Game Pass for PC in the Master Chief Collection, along with Halo 3: Firefight. Lee get's excited about a new tennis game, but we wondering if he's spent too much time in the net... Drones can now be raced in a super simulation way, so we can all pretend to be great drone pilots in The Drone Racing League Simulator, while Crossy Road meets trains in Unrailed! And just incase none of those perk your interest, you could always travel back in time to the 1930's and try your hand at being an old timey ganster in Mafia: Definitive Edition. 

 

The Xboxcast streams every recording on Twitch on Tuesdays at 7PM New Zealand Time. If you want to take part in all the background fun, join us then.
