yup, its a genuine classic though, too bad 99% of people with an xbox probably already own it or have played it before.

No because I already played GOW. It was actually the reason I bought Xbox instead of PS3. Even got the Xbox Gears of war bundle at the time I'll download both games tho just to have them digitally but I can't see myself playing my 360 much again

I'm playing through a season on FIFA and during my last game I conceded a penalty which my keeper saved and he then gave another penalty away trying to get to the rebound, at which point I said ffs and insulted the ref. That was fine and when the match finished I had a message from the board telling me refrain from using such colourful language, another way it uses the kinect.

Jeez, that sounds unreal. Cant wait to get my hands on the One in the new year.
The use of the kinect is only going to get better and better.

I haven't played FIFA in a couple of years so don't know if it was in 13, I didn't even know it was in this one until I got the message. When I saw the message I had no idea why I was getting a warning until I read it, it made me laugh because it's a little thing that I would never have thought would be in a game but I do like it.

I wouldn't like being told not to use bad language as an adult, but if it's a tongue in cheek thing, then it's funny, I guess.

Keep in mind, after you transfer your stats to ONE version. They will be tracked separately.

A mate that has the one told me not to bring over my stats and just go from 0. Because it will reset my stats on the 360.is that true?

Question about argos.

I received an email after reserving it that says it'll be available for collection between the 29th and the 5th of December. Seems like a long time allowed for collection?

Then i got a text that said thanks for you order we'll text back when it arrives for you.

Which is it?

1. It'll be available from the 29th and they'll text me on the day.
2. It won't be available until they text me the dates.

They will text when it's ready to be picked up.

Bloody kinect is interfering with my wireless headphones. I turned it off but would like to have the option to keep it on.

hopefully they patch it (if it can be patched)
also the haircut thing is quite annoying because for months on end I'd shave my head but then for months on end again I'd go without cutting my hair at all


quick question for lads using the kinect anyway

regarding switching regions from uk-ireland
is it easy to do? can I switch forth and back all the time? don't fancy ending up with a uk region for the rest of my life with them using pounds and all

It's simple, go into settings and change away, the console restarts and off you go. No restrictions on times afaik

Really not liking how friends are handled, no notification pops up to say someone has sent a friend request, it's that someone is following you, so you have to check in manually and then click add as friend to complete the process.

And how do you invite people to a game / start a party? I've seen a few people online but its only as I'm about to turn off the console as there is now no notification. I can't even invite the randomers I meet to a party which is a pity.

Not true.

I was level 62 on 360 when I did the transfer to ONE and I'm level 65 now on ONE but my soldier is still level 62 on 360!

So it will stay the same as you left it on 360 and treat 360 soldier stats and ONE soldier stats as 2 separate consoles like PS3 & 360.

Maybe we were early for the store in question.

I got the same for Galway and was most likely No.1 as I was looking at that checkargos.com page for 45mins after ordering in Athlone.

I noticed a trend that if the status was ''unknown request'' there was stock coming online in the next few minutes. So I ordered within 1/2mins of it coming up.

Galway then said shortly after Mon-Wed as it does now, while I've Friday-Wed in my email and my Athlone order only says Mon-Wed(in email).

Unless there's a glitch for mine and yours that only kicks in after you send the request and it should really read Mon-Wed.

Wouldn't be surprised if some stores had them before the weekend in small amounts and we were just quickest.

Cheers bud! Hopefully that is the case. Let me know if you get a text verifying the date.

Would really appreciate it and fingers crossed!
