    That's pretty nice !! Is that an official controller or has some other company modded the elite ?

    I was thinking they could make wide flat paddles for racing games so they looked a little like the flappy paddles on the likes of a Ferrari.

    I think its a one off, Its a gas idea though.

    new?

    same price as gamestop are looking for anyway. Still, its expensive enough without getting caught for another tenner on top of it.

    Hey lads, I've a few questions regarding game sharing that I'm hoping you can answer.

    I just bought the Elite console/controller bundle and I'm selling my old xbox to a friend. I want him to have access to all my games. To do this, do I just need to leave my old one set as the Home xbox?

    Cheers

    Ps the controller is glorious!!!

    Yes, leave your old one set as your home. You can even delete your profile off it to prevent accidental purchases on your account etc.

    Don't forget to get your mate to set your new console as his home so you get his games also.

    Onky downside is you need to be connected to live to play your own games, and when live goes down that's a pain in the ass.

    Guys, just random question:

    Why on earth my xbox one downloading halo 5? It just started downloading it when I hooked it up today after coming back from misses.
    I never bought that halo game, so why is it downloading? Is it just some free trial or something?

    Do you game share or have a friends profile logged on your xbox?

    It's a strange one then. I had the brother in laws gamer tag on mine and it would download every game he bought digitally to my xbox as well as his own.

    Ask your friend if he's bought halo 5 anyway maybe?

    The first Xbox One you put your profile on becomes your home Xbox. Any game purchased on his profile will work on your console. So sounds like he did just buy Halo 5 or get it with the console.

    You can make his Xbox your home console as well and he will have access to anything your purchased. Great way to save some money for multiple purchases. Plus using the US side of things means more savings as well.

    That's actually what I though off too. Already texted him asking if he finally got it. He said he almost payed it off in gamestop. He haven't answered my messege yet.
    So I can download it, but I bet I can't play it with my account?

    And what would I need to do for game sharing? Is it complicated? A lot of faff? I would do it with him.

    Without going into game sharing, if he logs into his account on your xbox tonight, you should be able to play it.

    Anyone else having trouble going to ea access on the Xbox? It stuck on the connecting screen and won't load I'm guessing it might be trouble with ea servers as I also can't seem to load dragon age Inquisition, anyone else?

    While I wasn't expecting Major Nelson to be a 20yr old, I cant say I pictured him being that old either.
    (Would have thought 40ish for whatever reason)

    I've using nothing but rechargeable AA batteries in my controller since I got my XB1. They won't charge in the controller using the micro usb cable tho of course, you still have to charge them in their own cradle charger.

    I'd say they will have a separate 360 store section on the XB1 eventually. Some 360 games, Mass Effect for example already shows up as having a store page on NXOE.

    Was kind of going from this, but can see now that it just seems to be Microsoft pushing their own product. All good now, have the batteries and their own cradle from my xbox 360 days! Thanks
