1 win with all the cars in rocket league gets you the Warthog

Sidenote: Maybe our own Xbox rocket league thread?

Someone already started one! I have no issues with a thread being here for organising games and the like anyway.

Been watching this one on twitch and I have to say the hype and excitement is lost on me. I was going to get is as I saw some much chat and so many on playing but one look tells me this really isn't for me

So it's just football with cars or is there more too it ?

I don't think any game has given me sore trigger finger as fast as Rocket League, it's incredibly tense!

Yeah sounds like it really launched half finished, even by modern standards where most games are borked on Day One.

I really liked Street fighter 2 but that's where it stopped for me.

Looking advice on trying to mirror my android (s5) phone to xbox for streams like rte player etc.
I can mirror photos/videos etc but don't see the option for streams

Are you using the wireless display app on the one ?

I think.... based on my experience using windows 10 and not android for this it requires miracast support not sure how it's been implemented on you're device but I would be amazed if there wasn't an app to cover you for that on the play store. That is just for media on the phone it self as far as I recall RTé player doesn't support even googles own casting to chromecast unless they updated it , someone asked me about all cast recently but I haven't had a chance to look at that one.

Got a message from XBL saying there's a closed beta for Gigantic this weekend, anyone else?

Just after reading your post when my phone buzzed with the message.

If someone else wants the code, they can have it. I'm not interested.

How does one get in on these beta tests for games?

This one just seems to be for folks on the preview dashboard, I definitely didn't sign up for it.

Is there actually a code Misky'? Message said I have to go into the preview app or something rather than just giving me a code.

Don't think there is codes for this. There's a beta games section for preview dash members. This is the first time I've actually seen anything on it though!

Aye I know, just weird they push a message to smartglass but not to the xbox itself.

The other day I bought new rechargeable Duracell batteries for my controller.
With a max charge, I'm lucky to get 2 hours of play and no warning of low battery. It's the same with my Energizers. The controller just cuts out randomly. I never had this issue with the 360 controller.
The €1.49 Kodak batteries in Dealz last a lot longer. Anybody else having this issue? Or know a solution?

That's an odd one. If you double tap the Home Button you can see the controller charge level down the bottom right hand side.

I know it's not a solution but at least you can keep an eye in it.

My official charge kit lasts days.

Yeah I do have a look at the level every now and then, but you know yourself, when you're stuck in to a game and you lose track of time. Then it suddenly cuts out. Cut off on me when I was in the DZ in Division last night. Wasn't impressed

Seems to be a regular occurrence last few nights at near enough the same time, my dash auto refreshed itself while it was idel there so community and store tabs are back but pins are missing.

Edit: The ready to install list had only some BC arcade titles around 10 everything else missing, I rebooted now it only has 2
