The Carpool

The_WinterGamer - with EA announcing Star Wars Squadrons do you think that people will give EA another chance especially after the first showing of battle front 2 and anthem. Is EA having it as a 40$ game and cross play good enough to give EA some good faith

JoelAkaFalcon - Do you think Xbox should make for short video explaining some of the Services and benefits the series x will come with

Todd oxtra @toxtra - What does Xbox need to do to in July to show that the Series X is worth the upgrade? One caveat, it can’t be what the Xbox One already offers(gamepass, BC,etc)

Seumas MacIsaac @FamousSeumas - Now that we have seen the PS5, which console look better? Has a better line up (or showcase) of games? Which presentation was better and why was it PlayStation?
