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.

I'm sure I've seen these in gamestop. - also , I have a kinect in a drawer with nothing to use it on, free if you want it.

Thanks for the offer but it never gets used. I tried my local Gamestop but they had none and none on their website either.

Can anyone tell me were I might pick up a new power block and plug for an early Xbox one (unsure if it differs to the newer models.) I had my console in storage while having renovations done and it looks as though a mouse has eaten into the power and Kinect cables.

Meant to say it earlier, but Inside Xbox is on at 10 tonight if anyone wants to watch. I think that there might be a mixpot if you watch it on Mixer as well, some Sea of Thieves stuff, not sure what other DLC there is a code for the Division 2 private beta.

Watch it here, logged in with your linked Microsoft Account

Does Xbox live has some sort of issues today? Trying to buy a game for daughters birthday party and it just goes in to error. Even trying to check of some games makes errors pop out. Whole thing feels sluggish too.
It's happening on mine and her Xboxes.

There was some problems during the week a few days, Xbox wouldn't even load one of the days supposedly due to live being down

No online play, offline only.

[Deleted User]

Okay, it seems like I've found a workaround. If you go to settings and network, you can then go offline, which allows you to log in locally and play your offline / single player games. I'll check and see if I can get online after I've logged in.

Seems to be down again today

Edit: signing in is impossible, which means that you can't play any games whatsoever as they require you to be signed in. What a load of BS. Twice in one week is ridiculous. They really need to look at having at least a local verification of your gamertag.

Anybody elses connection to MS a bit bunched last night?

I thought it was initially just the store (was trying to get the anthem demo) but then I couldn't even play DVDs on the xbox - "try again later". I would have attempted a reset on the box but I had a 2 year old screaming Frozen songs at me. I had to reconnect the old DVD player in the end - like a peasant!

6th February. It's not listed on the store yet, so I'm not sure how much it'll be.

Dualshockers have it at $17.99

For a split second there I thought that was Bloodborne (my personal GOAT).
I'm stoked for this, can't wait!!!

Game Pass has to be the best thing in years. I was sceptical when I first heard about it but I bought on day one as I wanted to play Sea of Thieves.

Now I have a subscription until the middle to end of 2020

Seriously you cannot go wrong with that.

They are not too hung up any specific game genres yet.

I find PES so unrealistic … Jim Beglin makes salient points and in time with the play.

Same here, got x first, then few months later 4k tv. X is worth it just for better performance alone. More stable fps, 60fps options and that super sampling.

The one trap people should not get cought in is 4k TV itself. There are many people who buy 4k TV without doing any research and then complain that they dont see difference. Just because it has hdr and 4k sticker does not mean its any good. Low budget 4k TVs are crap and you better off with good 1080p one until you can buy decent 4k one.

Ironically, I play on my 4k TV in with performance 60fps/1080p ish settings in games. Good HDR is more important, unfortunately very very few games do it right, instead of just faking it.

[Deleted User]

Yeah I played on non 4k screens up until very recently. Stuff like recent Assassins Creed, Far Cry, Tomb Raider, Hitman all look much better on the X even in 1080 vs older hardware. The option for 60fps in some games is great to have too and I nearly always opt for that over best looking graphics option.
