    Tried when i got it as i set it up in the sitting room. It wouldn't connect so brought it upstairs to where i have Homeplugs set up. It's been there ever since but i tried connecting a few times after that and no joy.

    I actually meant to get onto Amazon ages ago and forgot all about it until i saw your post.

    If mine had never connected in the first place it would be gone back by now. Just need to troubleshoot a bit more when I get the chance before I resign myself to doing without my Xbox for a month and having to reinstall all my games if they replace it.

    My One S wouldn't connect to the WiFi here either. Emailed Amazon at 10 this morning and a replacement was shipped at 11.

    I should have it on Tuesday and then have to return the other one. Happy with that and fair play to Amazon for the quick turnaround.

    Be awful if the other got lost in the post on the way back and somehow ended up at my house.

    Are there any good deals to be had in the store? Everything seems seriously expensive compared to physical versions.

    For example, Dead Rosing 4 is €29.99 in GameStop but €69.99 in the Xbox store.

    Same applies for Gears 4: €29.99 in GameStop, €69.99 in the store.

    It's a bit of a glitch. I'm not going to try it myself just yet until it's actually released as I've had my taste of suspension for profile tampering before :P

    Do you use the YouTube app on it much. I've find that, even hardwired with the Powerlinks, it will stream a video but kicks me out and gives an error message every half hour or so.

    Just wondering if it's a YouTube thing or network issue, don't seem to notice it when gaming.

    Haven't played it myself but i remember it being reviewed pretty poorly.

    There was a lot of expectation and it seemed the game was rushed to release, with content in the back half of the game clearly missing, no polish etc.
    That being said i did here the base mechanics were fun, just that it was very disappointing given Keiji Inafune's involvement.

    Apparently there will be an 'ultimate edition' of the game released shortly that contains a lot of the content that people know are missing from the game when it released (such as a Tank robot that is referenced in places in the game but conspicuously absent)

    So they didn't fix all the stuff through patches then? its still broke or not right?

    I don't think it's broken now, I played through it just before Christmas and didn't have any real issues with gameplay - it's just a bit bland and empty at times.

    I believe that was the most requested backward compatible title.

    Judging by the comments on anything posted by any Xbox head honcho, yes, it very much was.

    Wonder what all those tools will complain about now?

    Still technically unfinished they still haven't added elements missing from the game since launch like the Tank Bot which was promised after christmas that was required to access areas currently in the game and very obviously left in an unfinished state you could actually glitch your way to the dungeon before it was patched, now it's been leaked theres a definitive edition out shortly when the game has no DLC or anything, can't see them charging people who have the game anything for new content that should have been in the game from launch, that would just be a disaster.

    As for the game itself I had fun with it but it's light on story and descends into a grind fest at the end. Without spoiling it too much you come to your destination and find a locked door that needs cores found in the world to open, grand. Back I come core in hand open door work my way through the area to find???? Yup another locked door needing more cores, repeat 4-5 times. Really kills the pace of the game unnecessarily.

    How do you get these core yolks?

    Did you 100% it :pac:?

    The cores come from completing dungeons or some are buried and the dog can sniff them out and dig them up

    Oh man let me tell you about 100% ing it , there are hundreds of collectibles that aren't marked on the map and at the time I played it some were bugged in that you couldn't see them at certain angles. Think they fixed all that not sure about adding them to the map. I must have swept one of the areas once a night for nearly 2 weeks looking for the handful I missed.

    If it's sub 20 euro in the sale i'd say go for it. It's worth that much. I think it has a trial actually so you could play that on an alt account so you're not stuck with a game you'll never finish or play again on you're own tag :D
