I've seen a few bits about buying 12 or 24 months Gamepass Core, and then buying one month of Ultimate which apparently converts all of it to Ultimate? 

https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/help/subscriptions-billing/manage-subscriptions/xbox-game-pass-core-faq

Officially it's a 3:2 conversion when you upgrade at the minute - **they can change the conversion ratio at any time**.  Anecdotally I still see odd posts about people who have had it convert at 1:1 now.  Don't know if that's account specific, luck, or fibs.

With the price difference, especially if you pick up cheap core months from cdkeys etc, you can still save substantially.  E.g. 6 months core at £17.99 is 4 months of Ultimate when upgraded.  Even on cheap code sites Ultimate is £25+ for 3 months.

You can still save a fair bit, but gone are the 1:1 upgrade days of yore.

eFootball finally has a league option so that you can play through against the computer with your Dream Team.  Glad that's come out just as all my star player contracts are expiring.  Grrrr.

Double dipping.

Just had my first Popeyes.  The breading is wonderful, crisp flakeyness.  The flavour though is bland as fuck.

Needs dunking in the Megan Thee Stallion sauce.

Some of my family are going Disney World Florida next year. Does anyone know anything I could possible get them for when they are there as a Christmas present?

Not sure if there’s anything like fast passes or anything else you can buy as a gift.

You can get e-gift cards via ShopDIsney.com that can be spent on property.

Just had the Greggs Festive Bake and I'm feeling positively Christmassy now.

Made from a delicious crumb topped pastry, filled with pieces of cooked chicken, sage & onion stuffing and cooked sweetcure bacon, covered in a creamy sage & cranberry sauce.

Lads, can you keep an eye out for a good Switch deal for me please. With Mario or Zelda even better. Cheers big ears.

The standard Switch can be had in a free Switch Sports bundle everywhere for ~£260.  The OLED version is ~£300.  In Argos they'll chuck you a game in from a selection with that.  Smyths have some reasonable bundles too, moreso with the regular Switch.

I thought that The Marvels was absolutely cracking.  Ironically it's one of the films that works pretty much entirely as a standalone story, with things explained well enough in-film, but people are burnt from the last few MCU films having required people to have watched every preceding film and D+ show.

I'm pessimistic enough to think that Disney will learn the wrong lesson from this underperforming at the box office.

Yeah, the devastating cheekbones do it for me.

Somebody who is on the fence about seeing the new Marvel film who has a Disney+ accountis much more likely to wait a couple of months and watch it in the comfort of their own home.

I'm a moderate fan and I think it's only Spider-man I've bothered seeing in the cinema since Endgame and the pandemic as I'm already paying for Disney+.

Contradictorily, I am booked to see The Marvels this week purely as I fancy a night out and girl power and all that.

Nah, the video's fucked it. It's like those memes people make out of kitch memorial and wedding cards people have made in walk in photo booths in casinos.
