Microsoft Launches Xbox All Access for $22/Month

The post Microsoft Launches Xbox All Access for $22/Month appeared first on BardTech.

Microsoft has announced a new way of buying an Xbox One. Called Xbox All Access, it allows gamers who may be struggling to fund an all-out purchase the chance to buy an Xbox One over two years. And at the end of the two years you own the console outright.

What Is Xbox All Access?

Xbox All Access is a monthly subscription that buys you everything you need to get gaming. For $21.99/month for an Xbox One S and $34.99 for an Xbox One X, you’ll get a brand new console, plus 24 months of both Xbox Live Gold and the Xbox Game Pass.

There are no upfront costs, and the hardware is offered at 0% APR. So you’re spreading the cost of buying a new Xbox One over 24 months. The Xbox Live Gold subscription will bag you free games, and the Xbox Game Pass buys you access to 100 titles.

The Pros and Cons of Xbox All Access

There are some clear pros and cons to Xbox All Access. The pros are the chance to own an Xbox One right now without having to pay upfront costs, and the potential saving you’ll make if you were planning to subscribe to Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass.

However, the cons are the fact that the price of an Xbox One is likely to drop within the next two years, potentially eradicating any saving. Plus the fact you’ll be paying for the Xbox Game Pass, which isn’t something most Xbox One owners bother doing.

Powered by Dell Preferred Account

According to Xbox Wire , Xbox All Access is “a limited-time offer available only in the U.S. at a Microsoft Store near you while supplies last.” It’s also limited to “qualified customers” which means people who apply and are approved for a Dell Preferred Account.

If you’re tempted to sign up to Xbox All Access, first, learn the differences between the Xbox One X and Xbox One S . You should then consider which is best: Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus ? And finally you should read all about the Xbox Game Pass .

How to change the PIM of a VeraCrypt volume

The developers of VeraCrypt introduced Personal Iterations Multiplier (PIM) functionality in the encryption program in version 1.12 . PIM stands for "Personal Iterations Multiplier". It is a parameter that was introduced in VeraCrypt 1.12 and whose value controls the number of iterations used by the header key derivation function. PIM is used by volumes even if the creator of the volume did not specify a value. It is an optional component that improves security: it adds another step to the authentication process similarly to two-factor authentication. The main difference is that the PIM value is fixed and not generated on the fly when requested. An attacker needs to know the master password and the PIM, if not set to default, to breach the encryption successfully and access the content of the drive or partition. A couple of good reasons exist to change the PIM value: It was leaked or stolen. The default value is used and that is not as secure as using a custom PIM. Yo...

The 5 Best Free IPTV Apps to Watch Live TV on Android

It’s easier than ever to watch on-demand TV shows and movies on your Android device. But what about live TV? Yes, there are services like Sling and PlayStation Vue. However, if you know where to look, you don’t need to subscribe to their expensive plans. You can use free IPTV instead; you just need an IPTV app and an IPTV source. What Is an IPTV App? IPTV apps are a bit like Kodi; they are empty shells that can’t stream any content without some user input. You have the responsibility for adding channels, playlists, and other sources. Typically, you cannot use the apps to watch Netflix, Hulu, or direct content from other third-party providers.
