Hi Guys,

Thought Id post in here rather than create a new thread.

So I was well into gaming until 2013 when I had my first child, never played much since. I own a 360, and never went for an Xbox One as I really hadnt the time with work and kids.

Well recently Ive wiped the dust off the 360 and the little one has been playing a few KInect games(Just Dance, Kinect Sports).

Ive started to use the console for Netflix. So the misses was on a call the othernight, so I paused Netflix and went into the Arcade and found a few cool games to play that I havent played in ages and I m hooked again. (Geometry Wars (beat my old high score too), Marvel v Capcom).

Now Ive got the gaming bug back again a little. And since its been a few years since I picked up a joystick properly I need a few opinions from some experienced hands.

I dont want to go the whole hog and get an Xbox One, so I was wondering what good games can I get to download for my 360 that I may have missed in the last 5 years.

I imagine I will need to get a Gold sub to avail of most of the features still , right? I imagine I will need to purchase some points too. Wheres the cheapest place to pick these up in this day and age?

Is it worth picking up FIFA 19 for the console considering I would imagine not many would purchase it on a 360. Was an easy game to play for 20 minutes at a time.

any other info? does the game just stop running and quits out to the dashboard, or does the whole console die? any error messages?

the game just freezes midgame and I can usually go back to dashboard but I can't really use anything there so I restart or switch off.
Once over the weekend it gave an error code which I forgot to take note of

I wouldn't blame the console just yet - Ashen crashed a LOT for me initially, stopped when I persisted and got a bit further into the game

Is it happening with other games?

Happened with Castlevania: LOS and Dead cells. I also left the insider preview program in case that was causing it and had to do two updates yesterday. I'll try download another game or two to check those too.

hey, my head is currently wrecked by my one s. I first noticed an issue playing Castlevania: Lord of shadow when it became BC, it crashed an awful lot but I put it down to having not being tested thoroughly. The problems persisted and I finally removed my 3tb drive to rule it out and then did a factory reset. So I joined gamepass over the weekend and downloaded Ashen. I can get no more than 10 minutes in before it crashes and Im lost as to what is the issue. HD failure perhaps? It was bought from tesco direct over 2 yrs ago so returning is really an option. Id appreciate any of your thoughts.

RTE Player is meant to be getting a HTML5 update today, no sign of it yet, but it should mean it'll be usable on Edge on Xbox. About time.

So they launched it there, in beta. The ads work great, actual content, not so much.

It's grand on desktop.

No, all fine with it for me anyway. Note that your speeds will vary throughout the day.

I use speedtest.net, it's pretty accurate I find, but they're kinda ten-a-penny, to be honest, despite all the flashy graphics, it's just uploading and downloading a file.

In fact, I think Virgins speedtest is provided by speedtest.net.

Yeah I know they can vary. Virgins speed test and Ookla's just tell me socket error when it gets to the upload, if it does test the upload it reports drastically reduced upload (0.3mbs / 0.4mbs) should be 24 max - this is the Virgin server only other servers test fine. Brand new router giving the same error. Have terrible jitter/spikes when pinging Google and I've noticed it in games also.

Think they have there own test server myself.

Does anyone with Virgin BB get an Upload error or reported wrong upload speed from the Virgin Media Upload test here. If so do other speed test servers report correct speeds.

Can't be any worse than the 360 app anyway, all that was was a browser redirect.

Anyone having problems with Netflix, prime or casting getting a lot of errors the last few days telling me check service status. Netflix hasn't worked since Friday.

Actually nevermind it's wasn't recognizing my external hard drive after the update for some reason.

Did the console update and then 3 quarters of my games uninstalled??
Started re-installing now...

Could be prioritizing core network connectivity over other services. Like when playing a game it hammers any active download speeds

Yeah but with no games running it still takes longer than it should. Even uploading to one drive takes the biscuit. Takes forever to show on onedrive also.

Are you trying to share right after capture? Think you have to let said clip upload to xbl first before sharing. Upload is also a lot slower iv noticed if currently running a game

Yeah. I was thinking that's why, but why would that be the case. Surely it can handle multi tasking.

Tried an old clip also, not running anything just the sharing tool, which has uploaded to xbl that too was taking an unfavourable amount of time. Like 3-4 minutes for a 30 second clip, I estimate it should take 7 seconds max. That twitter sharing really needs to be done in the background keeps you on that page otherwise it won't upload, or does it?

The console network tools reports round about speeds. Its unreliable I know.

iLikeWaffles

I've been having some upload speed issues.

Does anyone else upload 30 second game clips to Twitter from their Xbox just after being recorded?
How long does it take to upload usually and what speeds do you have.

re overwatch is it worth it to pay three times the price for the legendary version of overwatch compared to overwatch goty? I am clueless buying as a gift. overdraft goty is 19.99 and legendary is 60

Absolutely not, you only get some loot boxes and skins with it. Go for the cheaper one.

Check the vents to ensure they are not clogged with dust and restricting the airflow.

Its fairly loud anyway. Make sure it has plenty of air flow. Even a shelf 2 feet above may cause it to overheat.

Jezz my X is one of the most silent consoles I've ever had, once or twice I did notice it spin up but it was so unusual it made me notice.

Yeah it was fairly silent. Then just lately I've noticed it being patently un-silent. I can't put my finger on when this might have started as is really doesn't get used much. Must keep an eye on it.

Had similar drift with a 360 controller. What used to work for me was pulling the stick straight up (as opposed to stick down) with your thump and 3 fingers. Seemed to temp fix it.
