    The free code Friday was good this week, kerbal space, ghostbusters (that's supposed to be slow as hell though), I think song of the deep (some submarine game anyway) and a promo code for the design able controllers

    Free code Friday ?

    Yeah it's bad naming.
    I think about a thousand enter each week and five win each week so you got 1/200 chance

    Right lads, I've moved the give away posts to their own thread, as it definitely deserves it's own thread, and I think that it'll probably happen again in the future.

    The thread is here.


    Massive thanks to everyone who gave a code, and massive thanks to Misky for starting it all off!

    Is a 2TB hard drive (dosent have to be plugged in, just hook up by usb) a good price for E77 on amazon? Cheers

    Was thinking of getting the S but a bigger hard drive is mainly what I need.

    At the moment it seems to be about the best price alright. Just make sure it's usb 3.0 and you're good to go.

    MY bad I should have checked.

    Has anyone used cjs-cdkeys.com? I can't remember fully but think I might have bought xbox live gold from them before.

    They have a 8.2/10 rating on Trust Pilot.

    Forza 6 is €28 from there: http://www.cjs-cdkeys.com/products/Forza-Motorsport-6-Digital-Copy-CD-Key-%28Xbox-One%29.html

    You can also pay with PayPal. Just make sure it's a code they give you and not an xbox account to log in to.

    You can try out background music/audio right now if you're a Preview member.

    Grab this free app from the Windows store to get it to show up in your ready to install list on your XB1: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/store/apps/cast/9nblggh1zj3r

    Install the app on your console, launch it, search for something to play (it's a podcast app so you're restricted to what's on there). Launch a game, you might have to bring up the xbox sidebar where you'll now see the new background audio controls, you'll need to pause it, then play it again before unsnapping once more to get it to play whilst you're in game.

    Here's how the controls look, nice & simple:

    We can't use Groove? That's a pretty bizarre move...

    Judging by the steps that you have to go through to get it working, I'd say we're not meant to have access at all yet.

    Groove is also being turned into a UWP app, so I'd hazard a guess that it'll need to be updated to that first.

    The worst thing about it is that I saw it was changed and thought to myself "Ah I'll finish this sentence and then correct it" then forgot about it

    Probably this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-Expansion-Portable-External-Drive/dp/B00TKFEE5S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468927546&sr=8-1&keywords=2tb+portable

    €77.42 delivered to a UK address (Parcel Motel etc.) or
    €79.35 delivered to an Irish address

    Always turn off Amazon's currency converter (pay in ££) and use Revolut if possible for the best rates/price.
