Jason C @JCarpingAbout: Besides games, what feature from the rival console would you like added to the next Gen system?

JoeySplats @JoeySplats: Gamepass is great for consumers! Gears 5 shows this! 3m in one weekend! However how do you think it's gonna effect developers? With UK sales below 50k that won't be producing alot of revenue for the company? Do you think this will effect the future of gamepass?

Jesse Flores @jezus213: What do you all think about Survival Mode on Call of Duty Modern Warfare being exclusive to PlayStation for a whole year? It’s kind of unprecedented for a whole mode to be exclusive. Also do you think it’s BS, because I do.

And I needed to get her an email to really lock it down. What do you think of the Xboxes parental controls? Do you use them?

Todd Oxtra @toxtra: With Super Xbox coming Fall 2020, after Halo Infinite, do you expect any exclusives to come to Xbox One S after that? How long do you think Xbox One X will get exclusive support?

@jezus213 - Gears 5 is such an amazing package but how much do you think the Xbox live issues and game glitches have affected its reception? I love it but it has been kind of a dumpster fire and it’s still not fixed. Will probably rope this into our Gears 5 Versus Playlist talk as well.

@hypecaster - Gears is stunning in the graphics front. Lots of great action sequences. But it is also very familiar in many ways. 🤔 Do you think they end this story and world and reboot or continue to play it fairly safe and refine the game as we move to the next gen???

@NintendoGurus - We have seen Microsoft pave the way for games like Ori and Cup head to come to switch. Do you see any “exclusive” 1st party games making their way to the switch. Which would make sense for you?

Edward Varnell @thatretrocode: Should Xbox Game Studio create games with more representation and themes that we're not comfortable with and can we, as players, embrace those games to be educated and really focus on narrative?

Antonio Guillen @hypecaster: Let’s say Xbox Scarlet dominates PS5. At any point does Microsoft go back to thinking of delivering a rounded entertainment experience (shows, movies, original content) I look at Disney Plus and if I know anything about corporations someone is gonna want to be the next D+

Brendan Myers @the_wintergamer: Excluding Microsoft first party games what are your favorite Gems from gamepass? How big is your Xbox hard drive and do you have an external and how big is that? Also if you would be so kind to tweet out the questions you ask during the show that would be amazing

The Trump Administration is delaying tariffs against China until AFTER the holiday release season.

The 25 percent tariffs would cover a large spectrum of Chinese-made goods, including many electronics, such as game consoles. The Trump administration yesterday said they would be delayed until Dec. 15, which gives U.S. retailers time to stock shelves for the holidays.

Passing along an estimated $840 million cost to American consumers would likely “put a new video game console out of reach for many American families … this holiday season,” they said. Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo also said noted that ripple effects could threaten more than 200,000 American jobs.

Question from: Grrouchie Serge [Discord]

How do you feel about limited edition consoles coming out so close to the next gen being released, especially at such a high price point. I seriously want that Gears console but if I get it then I'd probably cancel getting the next gen system for multiple years.

Crates will be leaving Rocket League later this year. Replacing them with a system that shows the exact items you’re buying in advance.Similar to changes implemented earlier this year by the Fortnite Save the World team.

So that's ESA leak huh? Honestly when I heard of it I was worried about you both since were at E3 this year. Do you think the people who had their data leaked sue the ESA in a class act lawsuit? Also guilty pleasure game, MGR: Revengeance. It's so dumb, yet so awesome.

Jared G @HylianTelligent

Do you think Game Pass increases or decreases the value of exclusives? There are a few exclusives for Xbox that are coming to Game Pass that I wouldn't otherwise try. It's cool that these games get more exposure but I don't know if that increases their value or not.

Mark the CaNERDian [Discord]

If someone was looking to buy an Xbox right now, which would you recommend, knowing Scarlett is close on the horizon. Would you still suggest an Xbox One X, or would you go the cheapest route possible to enjoy this gen, but save some money toward next gen?
