Tried to buy RDR on the Microsoft marketplace all morning for €12.89 and it wouldn't let me. Checked there again and it's now €29.99, fair disgusted tbh.

Well if rumours of an updated version for the Switch turn out to be true maybe Rockstar will release native versions for the current gen consoles and PC.

Minecraft came with the console and had to be downloaded but certain parts need the internet to work (don't ask cos i haven't a clue i just here this from the boys), we got Ben 10, Marvel Avengers, very basic games, my son is 8. so nothing too major.

Can you not get broadband at home. If gonna top up a card might as well put it towards bill?

Broadband is the best solution but the last time I checked it was roughly €50 a month compared to something like €20 for mobile.

But if you kids want to play online then dsl or cable whichever is available is the better option and you can also download a lot more also.

Go to the store on the console and search for fifa (insert year here, I assume 18) points and you should get a list of points packs available for the game. Buy the one that is appropriate for the amount of credit purchased.

Despite me posting updates about their progress anytime news leaked out, I still honestly never thought that I'd see the day....

Kodi is available to install on Xbox One.

It's an alpha, and I'm having difficulty adding my network shares, but then again, it's Kodi, so what did I expect?

Complete Kodi newbie.

Does anyone know of a handy guide for getting the most out of it?

Max Mafioso · 06-01-2018 2:02am

So far I have only been able to get Adult Swim working, cant seem to get the likes of Specto or Exodus

That kind of discussion is frowned upon here....Official addons are ok but the third party mentions here are a no no.Plus Kodi on Xbox is a long way off from being complete,lots missing and bugs.

omb0wyn5ehpij9 · 09-01-2018 4:19pm

There are a few old Sega games on the store (Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Sonic, etc.). Is there any way to play these on the Xbox One? I've had a quick look, and it seems they are only available for the 360, or am I missing something?

The Mega Drive Sonic games work on the Xbox One through the backwards compatibility, not sure about the others.

Edit: Streets of Rage and Golden Axe also work.

I have Xbox game pass and both streets of rage and golden axe are available on Xbox one through that so I don't see any reason why they wouldn't be available to purchase on Xbox one.

I'm being stupid here, but how do I actually get them to work? When I go to the store on my Xbox, I've no option to buy them.

for buying 360 games through the xbox one, I think you need to have a credit card or other payment method tied to your account.

Alternatively, you could try buying them through xbox.com and they'll show up in your 'ready to install' section.

Yup, the only way to buy 360 games with Microsoft Credit is on a 360.

omb0wyn5ehpij9 · 09-01-2018 5:50pm

Thanks lads! All of this could be avoided if I bothered to set up my 360 as I have the Mega Drive Collection disc :pac:

Used to work. Used to install Sonic 1,2 & 3 and Golden Axe but was patched.

Really? Thats a joke. You own a backwards compatible disc that you cant use?

I have that collection. Presumed kids played it on one. Maybe they use 360 for it

Quick question, if you dont have a headset but still want to be able to hear people through the TV, where do you go to see if this is enabled?

Also, dont suppose anyone has found a way to fix the recent players list? Mine is showing people from 3 weeks ago

go to options, audio output - output party through speakers

recent players is gammy with a while.

eamo22 · 11-01-2018 2:52pm

Anybody know how to set up the one x with bravia sync. It was possible with other versions of Xbox. Just cant seem to remember how

Depends what games you play. For instance if you play PUBG you won't find anyone on the recently played list since the game is in the preview program.

FIFA mainly. Its been way out of whack for about three weeks for me.

Just completed ff15 a Kings tale, did a few of the easy achievements but the didn't unlock, I think I remember someone saying they would unlock eventually, just want to make sure that's right?

You can kind of force them but not sure this still works given the amount of changes to the dash over the last year https://www.trueachievements.com/n25319/how-to-fix-done-unlocking-achievement-problems-on-xbox-one

I recall 2 in Far Cry Primal taking over 2 months to pop, they need to look at server side unlocks. PS4 is a pain having to manually sync but at least they work

Yester · 14-01-2018 4:10am

So having finally upgraded from the 360 I have been playing Fallout 4. I've been a fan of the Fallout games and it was the main reason I bought the xbox 1. I'm about 30 hours of game play into it and I have to say This is the best game ever!

One of the reason this didn't do as well as expected is because of the higher standard set by The Witcher 3. When you're done with the wasteland, take a look at that for another huge, great game.

Have to agree with the Witcher. When I got my One X I bought Fallout 4 again. Both games and Horizon are probably the best 3 games to come to next gen in my eyes. A/C Origins is up there aswell. Best version since Black Flag.

You mustn't have played to many games so. It's not even the best Fallout game.

panevthe3rd · 14-01-2018 12:07pm

+1 for the witcher 3.

Stopped playing in 2015 for some reason. Went back to it on the One X and instantly hooked.

Just finished the main game and promised I would tackle some backlog before starting the dlc. So I'm about half way through the Blood and Wine dlc now.

Yester · 14-01-2018 12:53pm

Cool. I will check out Witcher 3 when I'm finished this in a years time.

I'm still waiting for the last achievement in Fractured But Whole to unlock :-/

Huh. Just found out that Virgin Media don't do IPv4 addresses anymore, meaning port forwarding is a no go. That's a bit of a bummer.

Thats annoying, I know that everyone is trying to get everyone onto ipv6 but not everything works with it yet.

Odd. I PM'd them on the TalkTo forum the other day and asked to be put back on IPV4.

Must be a new development?

they still do but by default you are put on dslite you can request to be put back onto n ipv4 address

CatInABox · 14-01-2018 4:40pm

Yeah, just have to request it. Was just a surprise, a weird extra step that I need to do now.

Any way to turn off auto renew on the console?

Tried doing it on the website and it says "We ran into an error while disabling autorenew".

F1ngers · 16-01-2018 11:12am

Got onto xbox support and he couldn't cancel the auto renew.

Had to escalate it to management review.

Had a similar problem with EA access and couldn't remove my payment details even though I use prepaid codes.

They cancelled it and said they would send me a code for EA for 9 months but sent me Xbox Gold 12 months instead.

happy days.

greenspurs · 17-01-2018 11:45am

My Xbox one has displayed the "Black screen of death" , so if its gonna cost me €200 approx. for Microsoft to repair mine, I'm thinking about just buying a new xbox one.

Smyths =
XBox1S 500gb (with Fifa18 + Minecraft or Rocket League) = €330
XBox1S 1tb (Forza3 + Hot Wheels) = €299

Argos =
XBox1S 500gb with various games (Shadow of War/Minecraft/Rocket Lge) = €259/299
XBox1S 1tb (Minecraft Ltd Edition - Coloured console+ controller + gamepack) = €299

Anyone know of any deals? Or recommend where to buy a new Console...

It stopped working last week .....

Have you a receipt or any proof of purchase?

IF you do, don't bother with MS - I'd be going to Gamestop for a replacement

GBX · 17-01-2018 11:54am

I've been watching dvds/blu rays lately on mine but have found the eject button not working straight away. Its not that the disc is spinning or anything. Is this a common thing or is mine on its way to the sh1t heap?
