    Hey Folks,

    Was just browsing the marketplace and saw the Titanfall Deluxe Edition and it was for sale €12.50

    Is there any of the US store work around stuff that has to be done with this purchase? I'd prefer to avoid that if I can since I haven't done it before.

    No, that's in the Irish market. Just purchase away.

    Lovely stuff. Was thinking of skipping Titanfall and just picking up COD but can't leave it behind me at that price!

    I'm trying to buy the ea access game pack for 24.99 too
    I've registered but can't find link to purchase games ?

    I don't know if it's been answered for you KM. But once you buy the ea access and go into the Ea Access app. The games are there. If you go to The Vault, they are all the free games, simply click which one you want and it should start downloading.

    Trying to buy that Titanfall deal off the xbox site but when I try to add my credit card, it's only giving me US billing options, like I can only pick US states, not counties. Any ideas how I rectify this?

    When you go on to Xbox.com, what region does it say down the bottom of the site?

    500GB is ok for about 8-15 games (depending on the size of game).

    8-15 games is unlikely. If you're talking physical copies of the games then it might be possible (even though every game will have update downloads of a couple of gigs followed by DLC of a couple of gigs).

    I have 3 games and 40% is gone.

    Just bought a digital copy of Titanfall so i fully expect to lose another odd 20% on that too.

    I think Microsoft screwed the pooch shipping with only 500GB, especially considering the minimal cost of larger HDDs.

    Ah ya, it was on US alright for some reason sorted now, thanks. $12.50 on the US site but I think I can live with the €2 extra...

    I have signed up for the news letter I think not the access
    I don't have Xbox one yet so not sure I can as it says to go to Xbox one homestore?
    by the sounds of things I better not download many more games anyway or I'll have no memory left!

    why is that,my son is getting one for xmas 500gb,i thought that would last a long time?

    500gb is grand, you can just delete old games and re-downland them whenever you want. You'll hold about 10-12 full size games with it anyway.

    Lads I got titanfall free with my One as a digital download, if I purchased the season pass from the U.S. Store will it work with the EU version of the game?

    As its to make sure you own the game EG licensing it just reads the disc on start up to see if it is said game and runs from the HD after.

    Its just basic DRM.
