    As long as it isn't Brazilian the keys are global afaik.

    Sga, stack up some gold then convert to Game Pass Ultimate to get a few years of Game Pass for a good price.

    I thought they had ended that promotion, is it still on?

    Anyone know if you can recover a partially downloaded game.

    I paused the installation of a game so I could go online for a bit, when I was done I meant to continue downloading.

    'Resume installation' and 'cancel' are that close together I hit the wrong one.

    Google just comes back with 'how to resume, pause or cancel installation.'

    4.5 days to get to 50% ghost recon wildlands...

    All the remaining time between Game Pass and Gold will be added up and converted to Game Pass Ultimate when you subscribe.

    If you have 5 months Game Pass and 5 months Gold, you will have 11 months of Game Pass Ultimate when you buy your first month of GPU.

    Hold up, the conversion rate these days isn't great! The special €1 offer was a once off that would convert your months directly, i.e. if you had 5 and 5, you'd add those 10 to the 1 free month and end up with 11. That offer is over now, so they pro rata the conversion, so they only convert the euro value i.e. 3 months of gold might only be worth 1 month of Game Pass Ultimate.

    I don't know the exact conversion rate, but it's no where near as good as it used to be.

    It still converts all your time to Ultimate when you sign up, that conversion rate applies when adding Gold or Game Pass codes after conversion.

    I did it last night and sniper is right.

    I had just bought 12 months of live and got 13months of ultimate in total after the upgrade.

    That being said I hadn't any subs for around a year so hadn't upgraded anything yet

    It has ended in so much as that it is no longer €1 to upgrade, it's now €12.99 to upgrade.

    The conversion rate that I think you're thinking of applies after you have upgraded:

    Did you sync the controller. Press the Xbox logo on controller to turn on controller then press the sync button on top of controller then sync button on console at the same time and the led on controller will flash and then light up fully to show it has connected.

    Will Borderlands 3 be on gamepass? And what is with MS selling it for €70 while I can get a physical copy in Smyths for €55. I would prefer a digital copy.

    No it won't be on GamePass. Maybe in a few years. Most new games from the big studios start at €70 on both Xbox and PS4 stores. Just the way it is.

    Inside Xbox is live from Gamescom today, at 4PM. Be prepared for a 1 hour plus show that could really be done and dusted in 10 minutes.

    Watch on Mixer with your Microsoft account for a Mixpot of free stuff, which I think is just going to be some "Gears POP" stuff this time. Still holding out hope for another surprise like Outer Wilds, but I'm doubtful.
