The 360 controllers are like old Nokia phones. They can take a beating. The new controllers, while sleeker, are a disappointing build.

The white ones seem worse than the black ones I've found. It's only lasted three months!

On my third controller, the arm of the couch is no place for a controller #toptip

Have any of yee used Simplygames.com for buying anything at all, if so what were they like to deal with? I've been looking to get the Infinite Warfare Legacy edition but it's €80+ everywhere I know of, whereas it's £40 on the above site. It's out of stock at the minute but it's in stock on PS4 for the same price so it's not an Argos job where they mark the price down by accident and then put it as being out of stock. A question for anybody who's used it - is the currency conversion straight forward? The game plus delivery comes in around £42 which is about €48, so should I expect to pay that or do they knock the price up of their own accord?

Thanks!

This is where a card like Revolut comes in handy. And then you pay £40 and not one penny more, and you know upfront what the price of £40 is.

Shadows of the Damned and Rocket Knight are now BC

Shadows is a good one as it's EA so could find it's way to the vault maybe.

Is there any way to see the update notes of games and system software??

FIFA 17 updated for me today and I'm wondering what updates were installed.

It's clear to see on PS4 but can't seem to find it on Xbox

They don't show patch notes at this point. There's a request for it over on Xbox Feedback, if you want to add your voice to it.

Rainbow six : siege is getting a free to play weekend, this weekend.

I've only been playing it lately, but it's absolutely edge of the seat stuff once you get into it.

Just download it from the store. It'll usually show up a free trial version on Friday evening.

I've never played but heard good things, shall we organise a party?

It's a fantastic game, some of the most tense online gameplay I've ever had. I've about 110 hours played in it and burnt myself out a bit... then battlefield came out and I haven't really played it since then.

Gonna wait for some more operators and maps to come out and it might feel a bit fresher when I jump back in.

yup, I'm up for it on friday or saturday night.
It is difficult at first but once you get going its good fun. I'm still a complete noob at it but have had some very tense standoffs.

I might just break away from Ark for a bit and join you's
I got it in the sale last year, really liked it and the new maps

I haven't played it in awhile, been far too busy but would like to have a few games this weekend, if there is space, I will try jump in. I played it a good bit when it came out but have probably forgotten everything by now. It's a great game!

This may be an obvious question, if so I am sorry

I am moving from 360 to the One S in the next few weeks.

The memory on my 360 is quite small, so there is a lot of stuff sitting in my download queue. It's all BC games. When I move to Xbox One S, will all of these be available for me there, even if they were only on my download queue on XBox 360?

maximoose

They will yeah, the games are tied to your MS account - so when you sign into the Xbox One S and go to 'My Games and Apps', you'll see all the backwards compatible games you own in the Ready to Install section

Also, cloud saving is the default on the Xbox One, whereas, if I remember correctly, it isn't necessarily on the 360. Again, I could be wrong....

So make sure all your game saves are up in the cloud of your XBL account for easy transfer

Pity I couldn't pre-download it. Friday night is usually my games night and sometimes when I start a DL and head off it stops halfway through despite having it set up not to. Hardly got playing hte or hounor last weekend because of that.

Do you have an external Hard drive. For a while I used to leave my console to download over the night and it never used to. I soon realised I had to uncheck a box in settings to leave hard drive on while console is off.

Jayop

nah just internal. Dunno what happened. I had started the DL, and then queued up another one, the second one was fully down and the first was paused when I got home.

If I am downloading a game and I add another to the queue, the second game will begin to download and the first will pause automatically.
I noticed that the other day and that it didnt unpause itself so I had to go and unpause it to start up again

I'm downloading Star Wars Battlefront from EA Access

At current speeds, I reckon I should be good to go by 2019.

Ah could be that. I was sure I had checked that the first was still going but maybe not.
