That's to download a profile not the actual game.

Game will be downloaded via an xbox profile, this is not a 24 digit redeem code for Xbox store.

^^ violation of xbox live TOS so could be killed at any time, also the seller can pull back the profile at any time.

Chances are the credit card used is of illicit origin, came up against this myself some time ago. They always advise to download within 48 hours. Avoid.

Try a flight to Colombia, or Argentina, or Singapore.....Mother Russia sometimes has cheap flights too.

i hear ya, and appreciate that. i need to do some research on that. is there a specific website ye guys can make reference to with regards to cheap flights? i downloaded the app but it was terribly optimized and basically ran off the cache so uninstalled it.

We are not allowed to talk about it on here, a quick search of the interwebs should help you though, alternatively, I am sure someone will probably send you a PM with illicit offers of trips to Russia

You can pick up the latest model E version with a 250gb harddrive for €90 in CEX. Get a year guarantee with it too.

Ok so I bought this today but have a problem. The family settings are bugging me. It's asking for a 4 button password I don't know & then a security question I didn't set. I assume this is something set by the previous owner. Do I ask CEX or Microsoft about this?

Try this?

1. On the 360 dashboard, scroll over to the "System" tab.

2. On the System tab, click "Console Settings".

3. Scroll down in console settings and click "System Info".

4. When the system info box comes up type in this sequence:

LT RT X Y LB RB Y "Left Stick in" (press it in) Y Y

A box should come up and say, "Would you like to reset the console to the factory defaults?"

Click Reset and you're done!

Will I back up my data if I do a factory reset?

Playing through Unity now actually, and it's alright. Still got a fair few bugs in it, but nothing too unforgivable at this stage. Quite funny when they pop up actually, the game is almost taunting you:

"Look, an open doorway; LOL NOPE, you can't walk through here, you've got to parkour through!"

or

"Follow the beacon to your contact; LOL NOPE, I'm not going to spawn her until you run out of the building, down the street and then back again."

JoyPad

This is *NOT* a bargain, just a warning about such...

I've a friend in Argentina, he tells me the prices on their XBox store do not include VAT, which is 21%. Some websites that crawl the store and do currency conversions are not aware of this, and show the price without tax, which may look like a bargain.

Neverwinter & Warframe are another couple.

Just search for them in the store like you would any other game.

Go to 'Search Games Store' and type in the name of the game.

He wants to know how to find WHAT games are free in the first place. Without having to click manually into each and every game to see the price first.

I'm pretty sure you cannot do a search by price.

I don't think you can.

That's what he was saying in the first place.

I'd say the best way would be just to google it, I'll see if I can find a list of free to play stuff tomorrow.
