    Why meh? Sure it's unfinished and can be laggy as crap and kick you midgame but are you really going to turn up your nose at the opportunity to play a game for free?

    It's only free to play for a few days. Tbh I have tonnes of games to play on Xbox and PC and I will probably never even play half them.

    Folks

    New trade in offer on games in Gamestop.

    You purchase an item and get a paper bag with a bar code and then you come back with your games in the bag :o that you need to trade in and you get a boost of 20%

    I was trading a game at €48.50 credit and purchased FiFA16 for €1, threw both games into the bag and got €58.63 back in credit.

    Not amazing but just something to be aware of and considering i was €10 up for one transaction, it all adds up

    I think it could be in replacement of the stamp cards which ended today.

    Any idea if there's a limit to it? Or if it's only for games? I'm looking at trading my One S and some games towards a One X.

    Overwatch seems to be like a slightly more wacky team fortress.

    on the bag it says '20% extra trade credit on anything inside this bag'

    The bag is definitely smaller than an Xbox (a lot smaller) but no harm in asking in store.

    Been playing it solid for a year now without a break. All about squad play and team tactics, beautiful game as well.

    Thanks for this. Always been kind interested to see what all the fuss was about.

    Now where did I put my 360?

    Its backwards compatible so you can play it on the Xbox One S, X and enjoy the enhancements :)

    Don’t have any of them. PS4 and Wii U.

    360 it is


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,510 ✭✭✭Asus X540L


    It even says Xbox one on the box, so it's a new issue.

    Looking forward to play RDR without my xbox sounding like it's about to take off.

    I picked up a One S recently more or less just to play RDR again. Its a lovely piece of kit in fairness, ultra quiet and small. Compared to my PSpro which is noisy as hell. Playing through it now and loving it, if i hadn't just bought loads of hi-fi kit i'd have got a one X just for it after seeing the improvements there.

    That doesn't matter. I'll still work

    Ok I’m lost. All I know is I can play it on my 360. I don’t own an Xbox One of any kind and most likely never will. My PS4 will do fine for modern gaming.

    I would buy an Xbox one but it doesn’t play ALL 360 games in particular my shmups like Deathsmiles etc..and I’m not mad about the exclusives other than Gears which I would like to play so all in all I just cant justify it tbh.
