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.

Happy Christmas and excuse the mini rant but..........

Starting setting up the Xbox1s this morning at around 8.30 for one excited young fella. 4 failed updates later we finally got to the point where we could actually put a disc in. It was shortly after 4pm.

Now we are back to updating again as both games we got require substantial downloads (so why did I buy a disc?). It looks like we won't get to use it today and if possible the wee man is more jaded looking than me!

If it was just me, I would be boxing it up and going back to the shop. I don't think this is fit for purpose. I thought the whole idea of consoles were plug and play. I don't want to spend my Christmas waiting to use things I have bought and paid for.

Could be the disk drive.

I put my ear up against the fan, and it was coming from there.

I read that other people have the same problem too.

How long does it take to set up an Xbox 1. It's started downloading but it's still at 5% and the kids are going mental and I'm only joking the xbox is mine and I set it up yesterday. Merry Christmas all I've been lurking for a while and got great advice from this thread.

Is it possible to have say Ori on my pc and my nephew play it on his xbox

Not with Ori, but there are certain games with this ability. Look for "Play Anywhere" games, here's a list.

It's not a large list yet, but they've only just started pushing it in the last while.

Smyths fobbed me off completely telling me there's nothing wrong with it. Will never buy from them again.

They were happy to replace my controller that came with the system no problem in Jervis St., unfortunately they had no Scorpio versions left and I didn’t want the standard one so I’d to send it to MS. Get onto head office and explain what happened and they’ll sort it for you. You’ll be waiting a while if you send it to MS.

Head office is closing at 1pm tomorrow so give them a shout before that.

I don't know if they will exchange it. You could call in and find out and if they refuse just get onto Xbox support and they will fix it for you. A few weeks ago I sent a Elite controller back that was faulty from new and they fixed it for me. All free as well.

Might just go the MS route. Thanks.

Doesn't even include November let alone December.

Total hours played by me is 11 hours. It would be a lot higher if it included the last two months as I started to play the Xbox more since I got the One X. I played most of my games this year on PC.

Anyone else have a look at their stats in the Xbox Year in Review yoke?

Apparently I'm in the top 1% for gamerscore and achievements this year (in my region, en-gb), with 683 hours played. It's only ten months worth of data as well, so it's probably a small bit more by now.

Never knew there was such a thing

2120 hours played- 1200 of them on Cod: black ops / ww2

Top 1% of hours played

Thsnks all . I did the hard rest and he is now playing Minecraft.... I didn’t think it would as he is good to power it down but I now realize they are different.
My poor 10 year old I feel very sorry for him. I’m so not a gamer at all and I’m no help to him.
Im totally freaked out about Xbox Live and I’ve his security settings very tight (he is invisible online asfaik and while I’m afraid he is missing out I just think he is too young for online activity. )

I can’t bloody wait until he is old enough tbh.

Thsnks fir all yere help. ðŸ˜„

Hi
Help needed please.

My son has Xbox one. He has a child account. It won’t let him play mine craft anymore.
Says
Minecraft Xbox one edition is not currently available.

We go to install it and it says it’s Installed

Then it says

Do you own this game or app?
If you have disc insert niw. If ourchased in-line loginti xbox live. If you don’t have rights get them from Microsoft.

What do I need to do please?

Disc is inserted by the way

Same thing happens if I try on my parent profile

He was able to play before

Try looking here first. Also, do a hard reset, it often solves problems like this. Follow the steps for "Physically power cycle the console".

Try doing a hard reset. Hold down the power button on the front of the console for 10 seconds.

When i pull the right trigger on my controller from it’s resting position there’s a very slight sticky feeling. It’s driving me mad. It’s basically when you first pull it it feels like there’s glue on it inside. Does anyone know how to fix it?

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.

The New Order came out first and then The Old Blood. It's a prequel to New Order which is about six hours minimum depending on the difficulty and how much of the collectibles you want to get. It's not really a big deal which to play first but i think you should start with the Old Blood and work from there for the timeline. Keep an eye on then deals on the Xbox marketplace. They are nearly always on sale as part of a bundle for €25 or less.
