Happy days, it'll save us a few quid then.

Are Gamestop still doing the EA trade ins where you trade in the 360 version of a game for the next gen version for €15?

Have Madden 25 here and need to get the next gen version.

I think they're doing it 'till December 31st. You have to have bought the 360 game from them and have a receipt. (With the exception of FIFA apparently)

Never asked me for a reciept , out of interest are they taking the 360 version of Assassins Creed 4 as part of the deal?

No just FIFA, Battlefield 4, NFS: Rivals and CoD: Ghosts.

You can be logged in on one 360 and one xbone. You cannot be logged into 2 xbones or 2 360s at once.

Its worth bearing in mind that it'll be hard to have open NAT on 2 machines at one (at least I've never been able to get it) - In this case, the law of the jungle dictates that the older brother gets the machine with the better settings.

Yup. If you try to log in on 2 xbox ones it will tell you that its gonna sign you out of the other one.

It's just EA games, apparently it's EA running the promotion.

No Madden 25? They're doing it in the US, hopefully they'll honour it here.

Place it on adverts.ie If you don't get a swap you can always just sell it and put money towards a new game.

If its not blocking the ventilation & you have no disc-based games its ok. Otherwise, no. The blu-ray drive was not built to be put on its side unfortunately.

The Xbox1 specifically says in the setup instructions not to store on its side.

Whats the deal with the kinect as a microphone when playing online? Is it on by default?

Playing games like Fifa or AC4, and wanted to know if people can hear my conversations or if I'm disrupting peoples experiences while playing and chatting to people in the room :P

Yeah I think it's on my default if you don't have the headset plugged in. You can disable it as a mic under Settings> Kinect> Uncheck 'Use Kinect as a microphone'.

You CAN put it on its side, if you were going to have a digital downloaded game collection only and not use the disc tray. The only thing stopping it from being on its side is the disc tray.

Adding onto this. I dont have any discs for games but when i do need to install games & such I have a small tray I can put my xbox on when I need to have it horizontally. It works perfect.

Take your time with forza, they're making big changes to it soon, reducing the amount of cash it takes to buy cars and increasing the amount earned for wins.
