Fight Night Champion currently FREE in the Xbox store.

Looks and plays great on current gen consoles.

Has this stopped working for anyone else? Getting an error trying to launch it this morning.

Was enjoying playing it, but good luck EA getting €30 outta me for a 7 year old game.

Use it all the time for Turkish Xbox credit. Only once had a problem and they resolved it. Never bought a game directly from them though.

Was away on a business trip and got an email saying that Battlefield 5 Deluxe edition was 50% off for previous BF players but could only be redeemed through the console store before Dec 20th. Missed the date however got another email saying the discount was now available on the MS store, just picked it up for the equivalent of 35 Euro, happy enough!

I did the same, its actually alot of fun. It is pure battlefield. Not really sure where all of the hatred is coming from for it. I know they released a patch last week, maybe it fixed alot of issues from launch?

Far as I know the hatred was mainly due to there being women in it or something. :pac:

Indeed, something about it breaking the historical accuracy or something. Now excuse me while I bunnyhop across the Rhine, 360 no-scoping fools while I'm at it.

Yeah backlash started over that but the developer didn't help things and still not making things better

Apparently they left a load of stuff out of it as well and will add later (battle royal, main story etc)

BF Veterans for the most part dont want battle royal. There are already enough games trying to cash in on the PUBG model. The single player is there in its entirety. I have played every BF since the game first launched on PC all those years ago and I can tell you I don't want battle royal.

BF5 looks great, yes there are a few bugs and the menus are very slow, but the gameplay is solid. Nothing beats 32 Vs 32 on Conquest. Its fantastic fun with squads and some of the maps are jaw-droppingly beautiful.

For anyone sitting on the fence, wanting a casual FPS shooter to enjoy with mates, I would highly recommend BF5. That, and you can pick it up for €35. Its win, win.

No wall running in this year's cod. And tbh, it's the best one in years.

Much prefered Blops 3 & 4 over bf1 & bf5, theyve won me back

I really enjoy battlefield in a group but tough going alone.

Cod is much more enjoyable as a lone ranger than BF

I was never a fan of the jet pack thingy COD were using the past few years, but I really liked BO3, even prefer it to 4.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition is £19.95 from The Game Collection. I think delivery is £2.

Yes. Gifted keys are region specific, not sure if switching region and then redeeming will work, should do though.

Sniper is there a date that these codes run out after? Good deal but with the games I picked up for the ps4 over the Christmas I wouldn't get around to using the Xbox for another few months I'd say

Don't suppose we'll ever get a year for £24.99 like they did before?
That was a brilliant price

Thanks for the heads up on the 6 month offer!

How are people dealing with the 'only available in the UK' clause?

Setting your parcel motel address as your default address usually does the trick.

Is that for Amazon.co.uk settings or X-box settings?
Does it matter what region your x-box is set to?

Bar a few exceptions Xbox codes are global.
