But who wants to buy a pair of surround sound headphones only to use them in stereo?

Indeed, seems that pair gets its surround audio via usb. This means the transceiver wont work with an xbox due to the lack of an optical input.

Don't know why MS don't support usb audio, bit silly at this stage.

Possibly someone that uses a PC and an Xbox.
They can also use the headset if they stream to their PC.

ARK Survival Evolved Preview

"The XGP edition of the game will be available on December 16 for $34.99"
"those who purchase the $34.99 Xbox Game Preview version will not have to re-purchase the game – which will carry a higher price tag"

I'm hoping this will be available in Europe as well.

So I finally got around to playing the 60 minute trial of Ark.
I am in love, its the type of game I love playing, will definitely be buying this and anyone who knows me knows how stingy I am when it comes to buying anything

I played it for a few mins and deleted it right away, it's one of the worst games I've ever played.

Games are usually released a few days later on the Singapore store. Fallout 4 was out 3 days after the Irish release.

I'll hang on for another day or two and if it doesn't show up I'll go with Russia.

Just want to confirm how stingy he is. If Max is willing to pay money for it, then there is no greater praise.

Should add the caveat that while MS are currently not doing anything and are probably unlikely to do anything that this is against the t+s- hence the ban on discussing it here.

Hearts of Stone is going for €9.99. Had intended to wait until both lots of DLC came out before doing another complete play through but thought it was too good to pass up.

Xbox1 has died after a drink spillage, dont ask.

Says a lot about CD Project Red and quality of their content and non fleecing of customers when you think the usual asking price for the DLC is a sale price!!!!!

Most companies would charge 14.99 if not more for something like hearts of stone.

Ah here, what did you spill on it ??? Hotpress for the week upside down before plugging it back in depending on the sugar content of what you spilled on it and where.

Daft question -

I want to add soem credit to my son's xboix live account for Christmas, and I cannot find a way to purchase it (in Euro for Ireland). When I log into my account I follow the link to "Send a gift card by email", but I can only select "English (UK)" (no "English (Ireland)") for the page so can only buy credit in £STG

Any timely advice?

I'm pretty sure you can buy a "giftcard" off gamestop
Not 100% though

Have you tried getting it from CDkeys? If you have facebook they give you a code to get 5% off. Make sure you select EUR, They will email you a code that your son can add to his account.

If you want you search online for a template to give to him so will look nicer than a code on of paper.
