Got Assassins Creed and the free "compatibility patch maps" but keep getting an error saying try later when trying to purchase Army of Two, anyone else having problems?

No, I "purchased" both when I posted it up, so no problem with me.

Thanks, weird, just tried again and get the same message. Presume it may be a region issue, although the demo seems to be added to the download queue...

No problem here either, both 'purchased' at first attempt.

Seems to be a region lock, just Cyber Ghosted to Ireland and the transaction went through straight away, remains to be seen if I can actually download it.

Fingers crossed again this month for a AAA title.

Finished Child of Light. I actually really enjoyed it. Looked and played great. Took 10 hours to clear.

haven't played judgement yet, but looking forward to it. Gears is a great franchise in that there weren't a crazy number of games so it always feels like a bit of a treat when one comes.

We generally hear a day or two before hand.

You can still get assassins creed, so it's not all bad.

Thats for XBOX One... Its only free on XBOX 360 for Games with Gold

CatInABox

The best place to look at the current "Games with Gold" games is here. You can purchase Xbox One games without owning the console, and vice versa, so long as you have an active Gold subscription.

New games are announced about two days before the start of the month, with the Xbox One games available throughout the month, while the first Xbox 360 game becomes available at the start of the month, and then swaps to the second one at the 16th of the month.

You are of course correct. I shared the wrong link by mistake.

Didn't get my rewards credits for playing 10+ hours of Rayman last month, just realised this morning it's cuz I didn't actually 'purchase' the game - my game sharing buddy did.

Will be the same for child of light this month. Damn it.

What are reward credits ? I've had Xbox live for 10+ years and never heard of it !!

It isn't the most rewarding scheme out there, but it's been improving slightly recently!

Get credits for playing GWG games, renewing live, doing surveys, buying season passes and other things...and rebates based on how much you spend. Credits are then added to your MS balance.

had 20 minutes spare time last night and didnt fancy mass effect 3, so I fired up Dust: An Elysian Tale. I was pleasantly surprised. i hadn't realised it was an action game as such, getting a 100 hit combo off after a few minutes gameplay was sweet. Might chip away at this on the side.


The battle against the backlog continues......

I believe you can still 'purchase' the game too so if you ever stop game sharing you will have them. That's what my game share buddy does, I always grab them on xbox free and i think he goes along and gets them off xbox.com or somewhere to make sure he owns them too.

Delete the download and try again after doing a hard reset on the console (unplug it for 30 seconds).

Are you using an external hdd by any chance?

davidhand365

thanks, no I have an internal HDD

I dont seem to even have to delete the download - its just an error mesage stating along the lines off "unable to download Tomb Raider" which comes in about 5 mins into each download..

happened now on the last 2 games I have tried to d/l

Pause the download and then delete it, hard power off the box and try again.
