      What's the best use for an XB1 that I will no longer play on?
      Media Player in the living room?

      I only have one. And most of my books are PDFs or Kindle files.
      Did you maybe think of a presse-papier?

      Use the Xbox as a clipboard?. Or do you mean poids du papier.

      Hi guys, I was thinking of buying the PlayStation X scropion edition, what advice do you have that I probably won't end up heeding anyway?

      Proud owner of a Scorpio edition. Had to bust a gut to get to GameStop in order to make it before closing. Happy days.

      I just found 800 Xbox Live Microsoft points in a drawer, I assume they are worthless now?

      Try redeem the code and see what happens, I redeemed some less than a year ago.

      It used to be about 10 but I think they put an expiration on them. Worth trying to redeem it though!

      Tried it on xbox, but it sent me to microsoft.com but the region dos not match my profile, so it's not expired...

      My region used to be US, but is Ireland now on Xbox, so maybe my MS account needs to follow suit...

      I got an Xbox One S as a present last Christmas. Previous to that, I had an Xbox 360 which only ever got used for FIFA. I have started using my One a lot more recently, and I need some game suggestions! I've played and finished Battlefield 1 and 3 in the last month or two, and I'm currently downloading Titanfall 2. What are everybody's top 3 Xbox One games? They can be old or new games. I obviously have a lot of good titles to catch up on, but I just don't know where to start! I'd be looking for single player games mainly, as I don't play online. And I'm also not a fan of the GTA series

      Sunset Overdrive, for one.

      Ori and the Blind Forest
      Sunset Overdrive
      Ninja Gaiden
      Overwatch
      Destiny

      Loads more but these are some of my favourite.

      If single player is what you want you'll be hard pressed to find a better game than Witcher 3. Game of the year was on sale for 20 euro recently so keep an eye out.

      Sunset Overdrive
      Ori And the Blind forest
      Guacamelee
      Mad Max - I loved this, and anyone I've convinced to play it has felt similarly
      Witcher 3

      EDIT - Dying light, plus its expansion - fantastic game.

      Put on an adult nappy. Turn off the lights. Put on the headset.

      Dead Space.

      Thanks for the suggestions lads, looks to be some good games there. I particularly like the look of Destiny and The Witcher 3.
      I’m also thinking of getting Gears of War 4, Doom and Halo 5, are they all worth a punt?
