You can just text XB10 to 51000, should work fine!

What amount are you picking? I think you can only get a €20 or €10 code with phone credit, I was trying to buy €25 one day and the same thing was happening.

I think I'm going to switch back to pay as you go so I can do this. I'm on a crappy 30 day plan with Vodafone with feck all data(500mb) for €25 a month. Its breaking my heart

That was the problem, cheers. Three isnt supported for 25, only 20 and below.

Success!

If you top up by 30 euro now with vodafone you get free calls and texts to vodafone and sacrafice 10euro for 5gb of data and can use the other 20 euro to buy game credit. Thats what I do

That's the one I was looking at. Shame there's no calls to other networks included though !!
I can't get reception on 3 where I live so its only meteor or Vodafone will work.

Due to the xbox hogging my net connection I got a prepay sim, stuck it into a mifi device [best for my location - €30 unlocked on adverts] and I topup with €20 a month.
This gives me unlimited internet, plays fine, low pings.

I then text XB10 to 51000 (costs €12.50).
Next month I text it twice.

So my €20 a month gets me unlimited internet and €16 of microsoft points.

Is it still scheduled? As in they only have the servers online at certain times in the week. Only manged to play twice in the last 6 weeks. It was fun but not something I could see myself playing much of long term.

Couldn't tell ya. I only got the key and just downloading it now. Didn't realise it was out for so long already!

I'm not sure if it will be as good as Fable 2 or 3 neither, doesn't look the same at all!

Oh it's Fables in name only from what I played so far. Totally online MOBA deal this time out. I'm sure I'm not alone in wishing they'd spent the time on resources on Fables 4. Not sure what the market is like for this kind of game on consoles?

Got an email just there actually saying the servers will be open longer over the week end so might get a chance to spend some more time on it hopefully.

Ok lads, I'm brand new to the One, any great game recommendations for me? I have Sunset Overdrive (controls take a bit getting used to) And the system came with Master Chief Collection. Cheers

Xbox Live gold, comes with free games every month.

Ea Access, about €20 a year for access to loads of EA games, with other benefits.

Forza Horizon 2 is probably the best fun racing game out now.

Check out a few of the threads around here, and you can get some great bargains on games, like Assassins Creed Unity, it's less than a tenner on some sites I think.

Only read today that DiRT 4 is definitely on the way, delighted.

Check out EA Access €25 for a years sub and there's about ten free games to play including Battlefield 4 which has to be played to experience 64 player. The vanilla maps are prob the best and I think the second DLC is also free with it.

Ori and the blind forest is a newly released 2d game. Great little game. You'd prob get a game code cheap on Amazon for it.

Shadow of Mordor and Far Cry 4 are both worth a look as well.

Off topic, does anyone else on here browse the site from a desktop? The new "streamlining" of the site is terrible IMO.

It's been a long time since I've owned a Golf game. I might just!

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is up for pre-load & pre-order.

€19.99 seems like a bargain for a decent game like this?

Is it a stand alone game, or do you need the original to play it?

Yeah, it's a standalone and it's 38GB so it's probably a lot of content for that price!

All kinds of talk about a Gears of War remaster - http://kotaku.com/report-gears-of-war-remaster-coming-to-xbox-one-1700059889

At this stage I think I'll just buy back an Xbox 360 and be done with it.

20 quid for what looks like a sizeable stand alone expansion to one of the best games last year ??? Shut up and take my money Doesn't sound like the same voice actor for BJ though ?
