Xbox One General Discussion - Part 3

CatInABox

Almost 10000 in the old thread, so it's time to start anew. The old thread can be found here.

Before you post in here, remember that there might be a more appropriate thread in the forum, with the main ones being:

Deals With Gold
Bargain Alerts
4K and HDR TVs
XBox gaming
Xbox system updates
Xbox Live Gold subscription deals

Remember, be kind to each other, don't be a d**k.

Enjoy.

Cool. Haven't played Doom since the original in the 90s (along with the original Wolfenstein) with the Simpsons skin. I got The New Colossus today for cheap, well €29, but having read the original New Colossus thread in the General Gaming forum I'm thinking I should play that first now.

How's the single player in Doom, it's cheap on Amazon and might grab it with Wolfenstein The New Order.

Doom is great. Wolfenstein is a must buy, it's excellent. You can't like one and not the other.

I clicked through from Topcashback and it brought me to the GB store.

Then changed the "en-gb" in the URL to "en-IE", made two purchases. Both tracked at the £ price (-VAT)

Does it work if you buy from foreign stores?

Has anyone a link to contact Microsoft support about Microsoft rewards?

Got an email about a free sweepstakes entry and they still deducted the points. The support link on the rewards page only leads to page not found.

The support link works for me, perhaps try a different browser?

Sorry if this has been discussed previously but just wondering has anyone noticed the recent players list seems to be way out of sync on the Xbox lately?

Either most players no longer appear or I see Recent players showing from 1/2 days ago?

It use to be bang on the money.

It has been like that for the past month or so for me, gone to pot is has

I need to expand storage on the xbox one s. What spec hardrive would you suggest. 1 TB should be enough as i can delete some of the games as i go.

Famous last words

We have all said that!

Personally, I went with 3 x 2TB as I think having more than 2TB of files to redownload if the drive corrupted, would drive me insane on my broadband connection

As the lads mentioned, you are as well off getting a 2TB for the sake of it

Had my first ever crash on the Xbox One while playing the DLC Bad Blood for Watch Dogs. I was doing a side quest and had to download a file got the file and water was right behind me so I said I will jump in and swim to safety as soon as I hit the water it just crashed. I'm used to having crashes on PC but it's the first time on the Xbox. Afair I never had any crashes on my 360 years ago and I never downloaded any updates for games either back then.

Ok thanks for the info

western digital passport series are a popular choice here - size wise, you may as well go to 2tb as the price difference is minimal.

Well the interface will have to be USB 3.1 Gen 1 and I suppose you could buy a higher cache HD if you wanted but you don't really have to.

Dying light. Play at night (in game), burn underwear after.

Signed my son up to xbox live and it's taken the payment but a message saying his profile doesn't allow him access to live ?

Any ideas

Check the parental settings in the xbox menu, you probably need to set it to moderate to allow him to use live and play with other players.

Depending on the game also and this drove me mad last year. You have to be careful when setting up other game accounts e.g. EA account for Star wars, make sure their DOB is over 16. A lot of these games are Over 16 rating and it doesn't matter what access you give them on Xbox live if it doesn't match the DOB for the game he won't be able to play with his friends.

Cancel that renewal now. $7 a month is way more than you should be paying.

Is his age under 13 on his profile? If it is you will need to sign up to Gold and share it with him.

Normally when I return something it’s a matter of using the return label provided and posting it back with the form filled in as to why you want to return it
Is there a return label ?

no return label in the box one is available online but it requires an RMA number first

Did you buy online or in store? Think there is a cooling off period for all purchases online of 7 days which few sites tell you about, you make have to cover the cost of return though. Folks over on consumer issues would know.

online theres a 14 days cooling off period but my trouble is trying to actually get in contact with gamestop they seem to be non existant
