I'm getting the same as sniper.
Maybe I have to use the 14 day trial first?

Can these 6 month vouchers be stacked?

Same as myself, 14 day trial, but I do get a 1 month offer for €1.

CatInABox · 12-11-2018 10:26AM

What do you get at this link? It's showing 50% off for me there, but everything up to there was "1 Month for €1".

Fecks sake. The perils of being a mod without coffee, I just accidentally edited your post Hurrache, sorry!

All is see is the €1 option there too. I got the offer a few days ago through the console though.

Legend, thanks. Been trying to find this 6 month option for a few days now, your link worked for me finally.

I see the 14 months trial, and €1 month offer. Might be because I never had Gamespass before and the offer is for existing or previous members as that's all I get when signed out too.

Like yourself, I've been trying to get it the last few days as well but all I could see was the 14 day trial and the 1 month options. When I clicked 'Get' on the trial though, it brought me through to the 6 month option at 50% off. Might work for you if you haven't tried it?

Hurrache · 12-11-2018 01:43PM

Haven't tried that yet, sounds good. I'm trying to work it around kids and Christmas holidays to get my moneys worth.

The Legacy pack for Hitman 2 is free right now, don't know if it's meant to be free, I thought that you had to own the originals first.

Hmm.. This lets you play all the original levels in Hitman 2, without actually owning Hitman 2. Definitely an error, I think.

While the Legacy pack does include an installation of Hitman 2 - Prologue, the full version of Hitman 2 is required as the Legacy pack does not proved a licence to run it.

Yeah, but it does let you play all of Hitman 1 on it, which is handy if you don't own it or have it through Game Pass

It could be due to the game not being out until tomorrow, but it redirects me to buy Hitman 2 upon trying to run it as opposed to stating that I am too early.

It worked fine when I inserted a disc copy of Hitman 2.

The rest of the locations are separate installs. The Prologue Edition just contains the tutorial mission, which is identical to the Intro pack from Hitman 1.

Weird. I started it up there no problem, powered through tutorial, and then it asked if I wanted to play from the beginning (i.e. Hitman 1) or continue the story (i.e. Hitman 2). It allowed me to start up Sapienza and everything.

Did anybody get the free month game pass code that you were meant to receive for buying a month of game pass and paying with PayPal?

Didn't receive an Xbox message about it like it stated, but my subscription was extended by the extra month.

This doesnt work for me either, even clicking on the month trial all it offers me is 9.99 per month not even the 1 euro per month. Wrecking my head this 30 euro 6 months thing! When I click on buy as gift I get 6 months at 60 euro so thats not deal. Wonder why some accounts are able to get it and others not. I cancelled my xbox game pass monthly subscription but for some reason I'm going to be billed 10 euro on the 20th of november (when it ends) and then not have access to the games despite having paid? Anyone know why its charging me?

Open a chat with MS customer support as they will probably be the only ones that can give you a definitive answer to that.

How likely are there to be Black Friday deals on XBOX One X console next week?

I'd say it's fairly likely. MS themselves have some black Friday offers up already, saw it on HotUKDeals but mostly just discounts on controllers and small discount on bundles.

Amazon would be your best bet I'd imagine.

Xbox One X drops to $399 in Microsoft’s Black Friday deals

https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/10/18083294/xbox-one-x-black-friday-deal-microsoft

The Xbox One X will be offered for $399.99. Normally it goes for $499.

The Xbox One S Minecraft Creators Bundle is discounted by $100.

Other console bundles (including Forza Horizon 4) get a $70 discount.

Not sure if something similar will be done here

OK, great.

A €100 discount would probably make me upgrade.

I'll keep an eye on MS website as well as Gamestop, Smyths and Amazon.

Holding off game pass until crackdown 3
Have forza 4 in disc so no need for it
Pissed I bought it mind you now that I could have gotten game pass dirt cheap

dan786 · 13-11-2018 05:05PM

Hoping for some discounts on the console bundles after midnight for Fallout 76 release.

Why would you expect anything more than a console with the game and no major discount?

Really think the Black Friday deals will be better.

Picked up a Xbox One with Forza Horizon 4 , Forza 7, Fifa 19 and RDR2 for 439 when RDR2 came out two weeks ago. Ended up selling those games for 150 and got the Xbox One X for 290. I dont expect it to get any cheaper than that for Black Friday, its all hyped up stuff.

Seems very convoluted and then you're left with an Xbox from what I can see?
