    Amazon.com has them for 40 USD at the moment. Pretty good. Fairly sure they'll work here, maybe someone else here can confirm

    Yeah, they will work. If its digital you can't buy it without a US postal address and your country set to US for digital purchases though.

    Not worth 50 cent. Absolute garbage. Its an unfinished mess crapped out on the last day that Activision had the licence.

    I have it and it is good enough fun, not as good as the original Tony Hawk games.

    I got it last month and am really enjoying it, having a blast playing as the Turtles.

    My son wants to buy a game in the xbox one store online i really don't want to link my credit card to buy it.what options do i have?vouchers?

    Mods move this if its In the wrong place.no idea where to ask it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,309 ✭✭✭✭wotzgoingon


    I've had my credit card linked to my account for over 9 years and never had any problem.

    If your afraid your son will purchase a game unknown to you you can set a pass code.

    You can buy prepaid voucher codes in values from €5 to €50. These can be purcased in store or as a digital code online.

    You could sign up to a prepaid card like Revolut and attach this to his account.

    The card can only be topped up using the mobile app so it'd be easy for you to keep track of top ups and manage what he spends.

    You don't need anything beyond your own XBox account. After you have your account (parent) and his account (child) linked, you can simply top up his account with your own payment method. If you log into your MS account, you will see your son's account under "Your Family", and there's a link there to add money to his account.

    It's the same as a prepaid phone account. You top it up, he drains it.

    I prefer the subtle approach to delivering bad news

    Although it rarely happens, I can definitely see these being cancelled and revoked. It blew up much larger than previous misprices.

    Even IGN was tweeting about it. Thousands upon thousands must have gotten it for free, which Microsoft will hardly want to take the hit on, and just do a simple cancel of all orders that were null price.

    People who got it will soon find out. I think the game a few months ago that had similar thing happen never got revoked so we'll see :confused:

    They'll almost certainly be revoked, as that's what happened on PS4 when the exact same thing happened.

    Mad that it happened on both consoles.
