Magnus Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Ohhh. Well, now I feel like an idiot. In my defense, I actually searched for the game before posting and could only find a demo, or I would have seen the correct price. Turns out it's not available in my region. So thanks for nothing, Microsoft. Now I don't feel so bad about not using my 360 since Fez was released.
Shorty Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Microsoft really should work harder to tailor the Xbox to your specific needs. I'm sure not having your business as an Xbox Live Silver member who buys niche On Demand games when on sale for for £3 is going to make them rethink their strategies!
Magnus Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 An Xbox Live Silver member who's an avid fan of PlayStation Plus and plays 50+ games a year! Some of that business could be Microsoft's. In fact, some of that business used to be theirs, but then the exclusives dried up and Sony started giving away games for a nominal fee. Well, I'm still fully intending to play Halo 4 at some point, so there's that, at least.
Ike Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Resident Evil 6 - £8.99 - Worth playing for that price?
MindFreak Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Got Fallout 3 from yesterday's sale. Don't know if I thought that through just wanted it for quite a while and 440 MSPoints is really cheap but come to think of it I might need the DLC which is expensive so I should maybe just have looked for a GOTY-edition which I've found cheap somewhere sometime.
Dcubed Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Why has it taken MS so long to start doing these sorts of sales!? These prices are crazy awesome!
dan-likes-trees Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Long shot: has anyone on here got one of those 48 hours xbox live trials going spare? Like you get with Halo 4 etc. Want to play some coop (of the mighty N+) with a buddy who lives far away but don't want a years subscription as it's a one off. If anyone could PM me one I'd be eternally grateful... worth a shot.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 I may have one lying around you can have, but you will have to wait till I get home from work at 5pm.
nightwolf Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 I did actually have a spare Xbox360 - sorry Shorty, if I'd seen your message before, but I traded it with the housemate (I don't have to pay for the internet for a few months). I ended up getting rid because the damn thing was annoying me, its one of the originals and whilst there is nothing wrong with it (I still have the box/plastic bags, instructions etc) the noise of it and size was bugging the hell out of me. So I grabbed a new one with kinect at Game for 199quid. Not bad considering the kinect is 90quid on its own, I'm sure I could have got that bundle cheaper somewhere, but I couldn't find one.
Jimbob Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 @dan\-likes\-trees, I know i got a code for Xbox Live at home, came with Tomb Raider. If @Hero\-of\-Time hasn't got one, i will be able to give you the code.

Jimbob Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I've got one, he just never got back to me as to whether he wanted it or not. Fair-do's.
dan-likes-trees Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 I've got one, he just never got back to me as to whether he wanted it or not. Yeah sorry bout that, turns out I didn't need it urgently, but could do with one soon if you still have it going spare?

Hero-of-Time Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Yeah sorry bout that, turns out I didn't need it urgently, but could do with one soon if you still have it going spare? Ive fired the code your way via PM.
bryanee Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 It was pretty funny how XBL went tits up Saturday after all the controversy about the next Xbox needing to be always online.
Cube Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 http://www.screwattack.com/news/update-microsoft-says-xbox-live-was-down-due-routine-maintenance Apparently it was maintenance. Either Microsoft are lying to it's paying customers, they're incredibly incompetent and forgot to tell people, or they're complete doucebags and decided not to tell anyone.
bryanee Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 It couldn't of been maintenance, they were giving updates every 30 minutes letting people how far along they were with fixing it. It'd be weird if it was maintenance and they didn't inform the players and the people running the XBL status stuff.
Hero-of-Time Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 I've just been checking Gaf and apparently it went down again last night for some people.
Gio001 Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 XBL has been a pain all weekend. My xbox has been hit and miss wether it connected and the lounge box was stuck on the '' Your password / email are incorrect '' screen but sometimes it would connect with the incorrect password / email and sometimes it wouldn't. Least with the 360 you can still play games offline. Would you be able to with the nextbox?
Shorty Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 When I finished Bioshock Infinite, I wanted two saves, one for 1999 mode and one with a few collectibles left to find on Hard. The game doesn't have old fashioned save slots, so I started a new save on the Cloud. When live went down, I couldn't access those saves :/ If this is a sign of things to come, count me out.
Jimbob Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Had no issues on Live yesterday, no disconnects or anything. Didn't play online though, so that may be why.
