FFXV?

not my cup of tea Im afraid. If i do buy anything else, I'll be aiming for short and sweet rather than a 70 hour single player effort. The Witcher 3 is currently occupying that spot in my library.

If only I had your restraint; STILL haven't finished Witcher 3...so thought it a good idea to buy Skyrim and Fallout 4...

I would have been better off avoiding these threads for a few days - thanks to you guys talking about your bargains i ended up buying a rake a stuff i had no intention of picking up!

The backlog is real!

Also i plan to get Steep next week and the GF is picking me up Watch Dogs 2 for Christmas i think. She will be disappointed when she gets nothing in return because Xbox has all of my money

I was on chat to Microsoft if I bought it the game would link to my account and they cant give me a code for the game. Iv'e no problem paying full price for the game on the store but I'd rather have a code so it's looks as Santa left it for him.

Sorry now if this has been suggested already, but could you not just buy him store credit and put them in a Christmas card?

Bad idea. He'll only blow it on booze and fags.

Has anyone sold games on adverts.ie ? Never used it before and was wondering is there any pitfalls to look out for. I have a brand-new unopened copy of Gears 4 and CEX is offering 25euro I would like to get a little bit more if I could.

Adverts is run by the same people who run Boards. I've sold/swapped games on it plenty of times before and it's always been hassle free.

If you're unsure of a buyer just check their feedback. And I've always made sure I received payment before I sent a game.

Thanks for that, will give it a go tomorrow so.

I'd doubt you'd get more than €25 on Adverts seeing as you can buy it from Argos for €28.

I think your right, Cex maybe the easiest route. Do you need to have an account with Cex to trade in for cash ?

Yep you need an account. Only takes 10 minutes to set one up, all the information is on the website, I think you need to bring ID with you.

My local Tesco is back selling Xbox One and PS4 games at extortionate prices 69.99 for Titanfall 2 and other new releases. Do they actually think someone is going to pay that much for a game.

Anyone having controller issues, the controllers may need an update. This can be done from the settings menu - devices and accessories.

I had an issue with my controllers lately where they'd unpair whenever I turned off the console. The update has fixed this.

Its a bit annoying, as you never see a popup telling you theres a controller update available (at least I haven't seen one)

I had noted a recent issue where when I use the controller to power on my One S nothing would happen until I used the power button on the front of the console.
Plugging it into the USB port addressed the problem but doesn't answer why the controller was unable to power up the console wirelessly

yeah, I had that for a bit as well.

I also find it incredibly fiddly to pair a controller, it often takes 4-5 attempts before they sync up.

Just came on to post this.

I'm so glad that I have my Oblivion on disk as well as all the DLC

Just downloading it all now, after playing Skyrim, it's going to brilliant over the Christmas

Between those two, Dishonored Definitive Edition and Fallout New Vegas, my backlog of Bethesda nostalgia is brimming

In fairness Oblivion is a massive step down from Skyrim.

Maybe you're aware of what it looks and plays like but it hadnt aged well as of 4/5 years ago so is probably unplayable now for most.

Maybe you're the type that can play aged games regardless but I know I struggled to play it years ago as it was then.

So I want to gameshare with my brother. He lives in UK, and we both have each others gamertags on our consoles (mine and his GT on my console and also his console). I have way more games on my account than his, so want him to be able to use my games on his account and his xbox. Im just checking here to be sure, which console do we set as the home xbox for both accounts then, his or mine? Thanks

Yup, you can then delete each other profile off. They do not even need to be signed in once set as home.

Thanks. And finally, who gets to use whose gold sub that way even if they're a silver member
