Definitely I think. it's stalled me buying a wheel anyway.

Same as! I was going to buy a wheel and build a stand, with this now coming out I will hold off..

Ah come on now lads. The elite controller does look great but it's no comparison to a decent wheel especially with a stand when it comes to racing games.

Not the same level of immersion at all! :cool:

A lot cheaper tho even if the elite controller is 150, the g29 for xbox one is 400 or something stupid, without a gear stick or stand.

I'd think so, with the four extra paddles you could map them to have a clutch and gear up/down combo.

That's exactly what I'm looking forward to using it for

Pretty interesting video here from a guy giving his opinion on the Minecraft hololens after using it:

What it's really like to play Minecraft on Hololens

Sounds very promising & equally as exciting!

I swear, even if this was ONLY for minecraft I'd buy it if it worked as good as it looks!

If I buy the Witcher 3 from CD Keys is there a way to enter the code on the Smartglass app so it can download at home ?

I don't think so unfortunately, its pretty high on the list of features people want for smartglass. Is xbox.com blocked on you at work?

Yup unfortunatly. I'll just have to use E on my mobile data. This will take ages

you can redeem codes on commerce.microsoft.com as well, that might not be blocked at your work?

(you can redeem prepaid credit ones anyway for definite, I havent tried it with game codes).

Of course. I'd just rather not spend a fortune on a wheel atm.

Just something to maybe research if you want a half decent wheel for cheap:

Currently €94.99 in Argos.

Plex has been updated on Xbox ONE for Plex Pass customers (not me)

Main thing that grabbed my attention was:

"Everything you need to enjoy your Plex music: in-app background playback, music video support, and more."

Does this mean it can play music in the background whilst you're in a game fullscreen?

Doesn't read like that to me, sounds like you can now do whatever you want in the Plex app while listening to music, i.e. browse videos, change settings, etc.

Of course, I would have expected that anyway, so maybe I'm wrong.

Hmmm maybe you're right. Guess we'll wait and see if someone reports otherwise.

The main culprit behind the DDoS attacks on Xbox Live & PSN of Christmas 2014 has been charged with 50,000 counts of computer crime.

He has been given a 2 year suspended sentence which is a joke.

Blog post on this is up, seems like a good update, but music is only in the app, snapped, or on the home screen (i.e. while Plex is the main window).

See here.

Rumours of more BC titles coming next month:

Microsoft or Sony will probably hire him when he gets out.

Not a chance, he downloaded a script from the internet and double clicked on it, he's not some criminal master mind. Far from it, if he managed to get caught.

2 year suspended of a first time offence where no one was harmed. Sounds fine imo.

He has done so much more than that tho.

You can read what sort of low life this fella is here: https://np.reddit.com/r/Planetside/comments/3co2x1/daybreak_ceo_to_go_after_hacker_who_downed_his/csxjztr

It's a Sony executive giving his opinion on the conviction.

I was fupping harmed! plenty games to play and not able to do so because of denial of service.

No previous convictions though? So still a first offence and the finnish justice system is all about rehab,not punishment.

I have to say, some of those reddit comments are comedy gold.

"i hope he gets hacked.... into pieces"

edit, just read on further, it devolves into being the fault of ethnic minorities and then veers off about how rape is classified in sweden. Truly the internet is a wonderful place.

Got my bank statement in the post today, Microsoft are a gas crowd charging me twice for Guacamelee before realising their error and giving it back.

What's the problem then if they gave it back ?

diusmr8a504cvk · 10-07-2015 9:29pm

It shouldn't be happening in the first place!

rottie 11 · 10-07-2015 9:31pm

Never happened me. I'm sure it's a once off

I once worked in a bank, and everything runs on batch jobs overnight. Direct Debits, Expenses, everything. When one of the guys noticed that one of the scripts had stopped running, he ran it again, except he didn't tell anyone.

Sorting that out was fun. In a not at all fun way.
