Xbox One General Discussion - Part 2 (Please Read 1st Post)

Myrddin · 2014-03-26 10:11:59

Ok folks, the old general discussion thread was as near as makes no difference to 10k posts...which is the cutoff point & must be closed for technical reasons. Let the discussion continue here :) Same rules apply, if you want to compare the One & PS4 please do so in the Games forum thread...this one is purely for Xbox One…

€24 from Russia if it's any use. €12 if you split with a game share buddy.

The free code Friday was good this week, kerbal space, ghostbusters (that's supposed to be slow as hell though), I think song of the deep (some submarine game anyway) and a promo code for the design able controllers

Yeah it's bad naming.
I think about a thousand enter each week and five win each week so you got 1/200 chance

Right lads, I've moved the give away posts to their own thread, as it definitely deserves it's own thread, and I think that it'll probably happen again in the future.

The thread is here.

Massive thanks to everyone who gave a code, and massive thanks to Misky for starting it all off!

At the moment it seems to be about the best price alright. Just make sure it's usb 3.0 and you're good to go.

MY bad I should have checked.

Has anyone used cjs-cdkeys.com? I can't remember fully but think I might have bought xbox live gold from them before.

They have a 8.2/10 rating on Trust Pilot.

Forza 6 is €28 from there: http://www.cjs-cdkeys.com/products/Forza-Motorsport-6-Digital-Copy-CD-Key-%28Xbox-One%29.html

You can also pay with PayPal. Just make sure it's a code they give you and not an xbox account to log in to.

You can try out background music/audio right now if you're a Preview member.

Grab this free app from the Windows store to get it to show up in your ready to install list on your XB1: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/store/apps/cast/9nblggh1zj3r

Install the app on your console, launch it, search for something to play (it's a podcast app so you're restricted to what's on there). Launch a game, you might have to bring up the xbox sidebar where you'll now see the new background audio controls, you'll need to pause it, then play it again before unsnapping once more to get it to play whilst you're in game.

Here's how the controls look, nice & simple:
