    I was very late to the part getting to part 3, and had all of the extra ending content added it, I found it to be a great end to the trilogy overall,

    either way, for anyone who's on the fence about playing them, I'd highly recommend it. a fantastic trilogy.

    Mass Effect 2 and 3 now backwards compatible :)
    And are available as part of EA Access.

    So I ordered a surface book the other day, and got the Xbox One S as part of the package, a good deal if you're looking for a new good laptop.

    It arrived today! Came in three boxes, with a fourth to still arrive? I was very confused by this, but maybe they sell the top part of the Surface seperate to the base?

    Microsoft have nailed the art of the unboxing, it feels premium from start to finished.

    Hang on, what's this?

    Yes, a second surface book. LOL Microsoft.

    Yeah, presumably with a second Xbox to come as well, at least if the info on the delivery sheets is correct.

    Nice as it is to dream, I'll probably just end up sending it back. Pretty sure that legally speaking, they can (and probably will) come after me for payment, which would really suck.

    I think I remember seeing that Microsoft gives away an Xbox One S for people who buy a Surface.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,259 ✭✭✭Max Mafioso


    It just so happens that my laptop has been giving me problems, I think I need a new one :D

    A very hearty mention for the Multiplayer in ME3, which was some of the finest i have ever played, so much fun, and tense but not sweaty. It's a rare treat, and definitely worth taking a peep at.

    Skate 3 is coming to BC!

    Now, if only we could buy it on Irish store. Although probably be on EA Access?

    Edit: actually I just went and checked, we can buy it now! On sale for €9.99

    Did you actually try ? Got a Sorry please try again later error, which to be fair isn't the same not available in your region one I've had in the past

    One of the DLC is gone free, I was able to buy that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,220 ✭✭✭maximoose


    I haven't tried yet, have a heap of credit to use up and was tempted to buy but gonna hold off and see if it comes with Access first.

    Picked up the San Van Party Pack too yeah that worked fine

    Finally! cant wait to see what all the fuss is about!, hopefully it'll show up on access, that would be great.

    Still not able to buy skate 3.

    2 years of trying but it will surely be on EA access now.

    Finally will be able to finish the career mode

    The Xbox holiday update is now rolling out to everyone! It's got the number one requested feature, EMOJIS!!! :rolleyes:

    It's actually got some great stuff, like rare achievements, looking for group and clubs.

    Speaking of clubs, we've got our own xbox boards club, called "Boards Xbox Group". Yeah, it's a terrible name, I don't even know who came up with it, it's so bad :o

    Search for it, and then apply for an invite. Myself, Mickeroo, Misky, or Enfilade will ok the invite then


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,259 ✭✭✭Max Mafioso


    Speaking of Mass Effect, they are taking applications for the Beta, I started applying, it was so damn long, when it got to the part where they asked me to describe my favourite game that I choose and how it could be made better, among other questions, I just gave up! I dont want to be doing home work!

    Out of interest does this official update allow you to use the background music app like in the preview program?

    Black? What was that one? I had the original on Xbox and I'd the one on 360 as well.

    Two of my favourite games ever. Think I completed both on the hardest difficulties. I'll have to plug in the Original Xbox and see.
