Earthlock: Festival Of Magic looks like it would be fun. I'm gonna be grabbign that one for sure.

So I doubt will score anything here but does anyone still have GTA V for 360 and wanna do heists at some point? I got a second and need 2 more, figured checking here first might net the best result

Someone see if they can get some of these from their local Argoose.

When I search for the catalogue number on the site, nothing comes up. Would that happen anyway?

Most recent posts say it's not working now.

My wife and I like to play Left 4 Dead 2 together, and it being backward compatible was super nice. Except now, the Xbox One is requiring that both of us log in to accounts to play (I can't just have her sign in as a guest anymore for some reason)... and no matter how many times we delete her profile and have her sign back in, it won't allow us to sign her in. It signs her in, and then when we boot it up and try to go to the proper screen in L4D, it tells us that her full account wasn't downloaded properly and that we need to do it again.

Is there any way to bypass this, or should I just give up on playing Left 4 Dead anymore? Would this have something to do with my Gold lapsing and me deciding not to renew it?

Can anyone break down the S for me? Walmart has a good deal on it right now and we could put the old one in my daughter's room. Just trying to figure out if it's worth it

It's 40% smaller in size, the power brick is located inside of the machine and it has 4K pass-through.

Let's put it this way, someone from Microsoft came right out and said that if you don't own a 4k TV, the Slim isn't worth your money unless you don't already have an Xbox One.

Thanks that answers my question. I'll pass!

I hate when the games that come with the system aren't physical. They were doing a great trade in thing here for the XB1S and for some odd reason the 1TB model was the same price as the 500GB model so I grabbed that. The Halo MCC copy is digital (of course) and nearly impossible to trade/sell to anyone. Bah.

[Cactus Drags]

Cheaper to bundle a digital copy.

Games with Gold this month has Super Mega Baseball: Extra Innings Oct 1st-Oct 31st, and The Escapists from Oct 16th - Nov 15th for Xbox One, and MX Vs ATV Reflex from Oct 1st-Oct 15th, and I Am Alive Oct 16th-Oct 31st for the 360.

 

I played the trial of Super Mega Baseball and really enjoyed it, and The Escapists has always looked fun, so I'm happy with those games. The 360 games are give or take.

[apsham]

I Am Alive was okay at the time but I have a feeling that it will not have aged well at all.

+1 on Super Mega Baseball.  Feels like Ken Griffey Jr.'s games given a bit more depth.

[apsham]

I am excited to hear that! I kind of thought it was going to be a throwaway game.

[Cactus Drags]

I miss the old MX/ATV games from the PS2 era, they were fantastic. Never seemed to have quite the same feel on the next gen.

Horizon 3 is the Burnout Paradise next step that I've been waiting for.

Damnit.  I was trying to find a reason to not get it on PC.

They know what they're doing. The game is constantly throwing new things your way - at the end of every event you get money, XP and fans and then you've unlocked something else, now you have more skill points, you've unlocked a spin of the roulette wheel, you've opened up a new section of events, it's time to go back and upgrade your festival to get even more options for races. And with all of that it doesn't feel pushy either. It's up to you to see the waypoints and when you log back in the driver navigation will say something like "we haven't checked out ___ yet, would you like me to set a waypoint now" and you can just ignore it or get on with it.

Had a lot of fun with it tonight and playing with the girlfriend. Everything she asked about it 'are there cops?' and 'do I have to go somewhere to get my car fixed?' was pretty much answered by me realizing that no, you didn't have to do any of that stuff because the devs realized that it just wouldn't be all that fun. It's a big sandbox and you play around in it however you want.
