I have the wheel but have a wheelstand pro.
That's a great setup, didn't have the space for the playseat. But I'd reckon it would be an improvement.

At a big distribution network like that, it’s not going to happen
Curry’s Dixon’s and pc world are all the same company, mistakes happen all the time
Will the person that didn’t send the games originally be sacked ? No lol

Its very easy to find out who packed what, I work and have worked in several distribution places and I know for a fact a 700euro tablet is something that you would most definitely get sacked over.
As for pc world/currys

they have big warehouses but generally only 1-2 people working in them warehouses that actually pick and pack, they arnt exactly amazon size so its easy to get through and pack orders in 1day,
so that order that was sent out was sent out by 1 of 2 people, very easy to know who done it then.

If it was from amazon well then ya forget it, they accept losses every year.
But even then from amazon they run everything through a pick and pack scan system, you have to sign into that system to get pick orders, so they know exactly who picked what order.
Same with tescos and argos.

So again I am not saying what the guy should do, but "IT COULD" cost someone their job.

This is what I have. http://www.playseat.com/shop/eu/uk/playseat-challenge-seats.html?gclid=CjwKCAiA9MTQBRAREiwAzmytw8C5axdPRiAbvyYELwTl5GHvHdj-lGzL0VPCohc_cC0IHR_jWGoTcBoCyV4QAvD_BwE

Folds up under the bed with the G920 wheel and pedals still attached. Really comfortable and great for the size of my room.

What’s the seat like? It looks very far back like you see the young fellas

Possibly one for the bargains thread but it is X specific.

I just bought Homefront: The Revolution for £4 from game.co.uk

Apparently the game has seen a major upgrade with X enhancements. Worth a punt.

maximoose

Assassins Creed: Origins is beautiful, started it over the weekend

Framerate can slow a little in big open parts where there is lots going on, but never drops enough to be an issue. The open world looks fantastic.

Game is pretty decent so far too, first AC game I've played in a while.

they got a mega reduction last year in the black friday sales, i think it came down to about 150 for the wheel, pedals and shifter, I talked myself out of buying it at the time but was raging after. That deal was with currys, so maybe
keep an eye out there.

Anyone know if the box is too big for parcelmotel or addresspal?

So after being refunded for my Xbox one x it shows up nearly 3 weeks later from Amazon today.......

I know how it got lost now they only printed off 1/2 the label and was missing 1/2 of my address on it far plays to an post been able to work out where it was post to go.

So I got a free xbox one x from Amazon ..... how bad.

But to be fair it took 3 weeks to show up!!!!.

The honest thing to do would be to contact Amazon and let them know it arrived.

They will probably still tell you to keep it.

Yah 3 weeks late and I had to have a 2 hour fight to get a refund from amazon for the Xbox last week .....

They would know I get it anyway as they can see it was signed for.....

Excellent, ordered for half of the price in Ireland. I’m gonna miss those uk sites when Brexit hits.

I have an Xbox one S and am going to upgrade to the X very soon. All I want to keep from my S is my game saves like my Fifa profile/career mode save, ark profile and forza horizon 3 game save.

Would these be saved on the cloud like on my PS4?

I popped in a USB but it would only let me copy the full game and not the game save itself.

Much appreciated

Yup, it's all in the cloud, just sign in and it'll all be there. Copy your games go an external drive to avoid downloading it all again. You can also download the 4k content where available to hour current machine to save time setting up the x also

I haven't got an external big enough but it's only 1 or 2 digital games so no hassle in redownloading.

For those of you with an X and a HDTV, what is the one game that you can see has a big jump in performance over the standard Xbox One?

Gears 4 allows you to pick 1080p 60fps over 4k I believe so mgiht be worth a look (it's getting added to Game Pass soon too, might already be there). I don't have an X though so not sure if it's the best or not.

Depends.
X1X enhanced or a standard game?

X1X Enhanced COD WW2, Wolfenstien 2 gain massive leaps graphically and performance wise when compared to One or One S

I also tested out the infamous Just Cause 3, this is not enhanced but has significant gain in performance due to the X1X raw power.

Got quoted €435 for my 500gb PS4 and 2tb S in Gamestop

That's way too good to turn down

€290 without the bonus

TrustedApple

Played a bit of the one x for the 1st time last night

What a huge jump over the ps4. It had me going holy cow batman sign how nice Every thing looks in 4k.

Tryed the for a 7 demo what a epic good looking game in 4k.

Then played some quation Breck that game just had my mouth open while I was playing it but don't ask what the he'll went on in it after playing the 1st part of it and the 1st tv epp !!!.

Extremely impressed with the thing and the fact it looks tiny next to my ps4 pro.

But back to Amazon they lost more games on me woop de f do.

Friday goal is to pick up Forza 7 and wolf 2 for less then 50 j say it can be done .

Do you live in outer Mongolia or on top of a mountain in the Himalayas or are there roving bands of street kids hijacking delivery vans that that many things go missing from deliveries on you?

creativedrinker

Was just thinking if it would work,
Did anyone buy the 299 xbone s deal in gamestop (Controller,console,forza,assassins, and extra game) and trade it against a one x to break even with some extra bits?

Most likely too late as I know the price of the one s has dropped alot now

Would have gone for the deal earlier and traded in my s, but I got and elite controller and traded in the one that came with the s to cex.....damm

I really have no clue what's going on.

I buy from other other sites they show up right away. My girlfirend uses her account on Amazon 2 or 3 days she has what ever it is.

Mine good only knows when it might show up haha. It could be a week or 3 in case of the Xbox one.

Any issues I am seeing is when Amazon seem to not be able to print a label right on the parcel as it's missing my house number and my 1st name.

Amazon need to sort out printing for me ha.

Update your address so it reads exactly like your girlfriends? If her labels are always correct maybe you've a few extra spaces in yours and mine t causing parts to be cut off?

Lads, sorry... I'm a bit late to the party and haven't read the thread bar the last one or two pages... If someone can point me to a link that can answer these questions, I would appreciate it, or give me some advice...

is it only GameStop are doing trade ins Of Xbox ones for xbox one x? Or are smyths doing trade ins too?

I presume games on my external storage will just work on x1x, or auto update when I try to play them?

What is the process for cleaning down the system. I can move all my digital downloads and game data to the external storage device, but how do I remove all my xbox live data before trade in?

If I have to have to delete a digital download like gears 4 for storage limitations, I presume I just download them again from the xbox marketplace?

Any other gotcha's that I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance

they will but on occasion will need to be redownloaded

do a system reset, it's in settings, system,

if you want to play them again you presume correctly

I bought RoTR this morning for £6.60 through the xbox store. This is the first game I can personally compare for enhancements having just recently completed it on my old One. Damn it's a thing of beauty. That opening snowy mountain stage looks even more savage than before....ah sure I might as well play through the whole thing again

trixiebust

Ended up with an X after all. €170 with my 500gb S, along with the 3 controllers traded back. Couldn't turn it down

creativedrinker

Checked in gamestop there... you get 225 back on a 1tb one s.. very tempted to get the 299 xbox deal and trade it and fifa in to get the x and a few games for a extra 20 quid.... plus i need the extra controler to trade in my 500gb one s as i traded its controller in against a elite..... must stop myself......

wonder if you can trade in 2 xbox's

Muppet Man

If trading Xbone in with gamestop for an X1X, should I do a system reset BEFORE I bring it Gamestop, or do they need to verify the system?

I got thanked profusely for doing a full factory reset on mine. They said I wouldn't believe the amount of people that don't and the hassle it causes.

Oh GameStop, never change! :pac:

Factory resets just OOBE the box, they do not roll back updates.

I did but I won't be doing it for when I trade in the S. It seems to differ from store to store but in my local one, they had to run a game on the console for an hour to check it out. He did the factory reset in front of me when he was happy with it.

Thinking of going the Currys UK route.

Xbox One X with Assassins Creed and Forza 7 for £449 (about €505).

Hoping for amazon to do something a little better than that currys offer tomorrow, if not might bite with Creed and Forza, the two games I want for it.
