    <p>Bang &amp; Olufsen Beoplay Portals – what do you think?</p><p><br></p><p>I'm hoping they release an update to enable simultaneous Bluetooth &amp; Xbox Wireless like the Xbox Wireless Headset. Regardless, I'm returning the Xbox headset in favour of the Portals due how bass-heavy &amp; muddy the Xbox ones are, despite their amazing a value proposition.</p>

    <p>Hello Brad,</p><p><br></p><p>my employer used to be a part of the Home Use program, and I used to be able to purchase a copy of Office at a wildly discounted price.&nbsp;Two years ago though my employer quit the program, much to my dismay.&nbsp;I understand that Office 360 subscriptions can now be got under the Home Use program.</p><p><br></p><p>My question is, is there any way to get Office 360 subscriptions at a discounted price, similar to how Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions works?&nbsp;Also, is it worth subscribing to Office 360 purely for the extra OneDrive space?</p><p><br></p><p>Sydney</p>

      <blockquote><em><a href="#622189">In reply to sydney2k:</a></em></blockquote><p>In the UK, retailers would sell office 365 physical cards for half price through out the years. I'd keep an eye out on Best Buy and big box retailers to see if they have any discounts on physical cards.</p>

    <p>Why does Gamepass PC use Windows Store games / MSIX packaged games instead of regular .exe that are found on other stores. EA Play on PC uses regular exe games. Microsoft does sell their games as regular .exe on steam, I don't know why they keep pushing the MSIX wrapper for PC Gamepass.</p><p><br></p><p>This is quite an issue as the games can't be modded or have third party patches that improve games. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIvwwy2K1cU&quot; target="_blank">Digital foundry posted a video on this</a>. People thought the Game Pass PC versions of Nier and Evil Within are better than the steam version, but it turns they're the same, but you can't even apply launch overrides.</p>
