Any of the digital ones would be up for grabs outside of US, just the Big Ticket ones (the XBox One bundles) are the ones that are US only. And episodes of Dragon Ball Z (oh no!)

You can now get the Dominos Pizza app on Xbox ONE App marketplace.

Didn't expect it to be compatible with Ireland but it is, that's deadly!

I knew it wouldn't be long until a story like this popped up


"condemned as “unethical and irresponsible” by health campaigners"

Would they ever just piss off?

I dunno, when I saw that app pop up I thought - "So MS were inspired by 'Idiocracy' when they dreamt up the X1" :P

...But anyway, that article is from the mirror...the fcuking mirror....why are you even reposting it for goodness sake - don't give them the extra clicks!

PC and mobile gamers have been able to order through their gaming devices for years....

Folks we're going to lock this thread now (nothing has happened very recently or anything), as it has become a bit too general. Posts have to be moved from it to better suited threads all too regularly now, which negates the purpose of said threads. In light of this, we've created a general hardware thread as suggested by a user previously, & we've created an off topic thread, where we can relax about & interact with each other in an off topic manner. Any queries, questions or suggestions feel free to pm myself or FutureGuy. I'll go back through the last five pages or so, & move any recent posts to better suited threads so nothing recent is lost/forgotten about.

Not for the XBox One, yet.

You can use the Official XBox Feedback site to try to build up votes for the RTÉ player (although it's only had 24 votes in the last few months).
