The Xbox Store Sucks

The store is generally fine, but there are some inconsistencies that drive me up the wall, as documented in this old post.

Edit: I’m gonna change “generally fine” to “good” just because I suddenly remembered by experience with the PlayStation store last gen. Fucking thing totally refused to accept any new payment method because I had an expired credit card in there, and it refused to remove the expired credit card because then there wouldn’t be any payment method. The only way I managed to buy things was by buying PSN gift cards and redeeming them, costing me more money than what the game was worth.

Addressing your points one by one:

  1. I would like this too but I feel like it would either destroy the store or give you something like “Page 1 of 459105” which…isn’t exactly useful.

  2. Absolutely, 100 per cent, yes please, Microsoft hire this person.

  3. Yeah sure, no problem with this.

  4. I’m fine with this as long as it’s an easy toggle, like just a button press to show/hide. There have been a few occasions like buying as a gift or looking at a discount where I would still want to see a game I own in the store.

Also holy cow you have a lot of games.
