Xbox 360 GWG free titles will carry on working on both consoles.
Xbox One GWG free titles require an active Xbox Gold Subscription. Discounted titles will still work.

The FAQs do not stipulate about the games, but stipulate about the consoles.

On Xbox One, you will no longer be able to access your Games with Gold titles if you cancel your subscription. However, if you decide to renew your subscription at any time, you will be able to access and play your previously redeemed Games with Gold titles again.

On Xbox 360, any Games with Gold titles that you redeem as an Xbox Live Gold member are yours to keep, regardless of whether you continue your subscription.

The above suggests to me that any games on the XB1 (regardless of whether they are XB1 of 360 games) claimed via GWG will be unplayable without an active sub. Whereas if you are using a 360 you can continue to play the GWG games when there is no active subscription.

Yea, click to download it to your 360, and it appears in your XB1 list of games.

Thanks.

It won't let me add castle storm though :confused:

pepp77 · 28 Dec 2015 at 17:09

That's because that was only available until the 15th (I believe) of Dec.

Soulja · 28 Dec 2015 at 17:22

Ah OK. Cheers.

Hi guys daft question probably, Looking to expand the storage on my wife's XBOX one. Instead of buying the official external HDD can I build my own using a SSHD and case? Was thinking of using these items - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/seag...-st1000lm014-sshd-hybrid-drive-hd-283-se.html and https://www.overclockers.co.uk/icyb...lack-rugged-usb-3.0-ib-223u3-b-hd-095-bt.html

My thinking is that the hybrid drive should be faster than a standard 2.5 HDD but cheaper than an SSD.

Thanks.

That should work, basically as long as it can be powered via USB and it's USB3.0, it'll do.

Deus Ex is well worth a play.

Shopto has had it for just under £27 for a while now. Its my next game to buy after I've done Fallout 4.

Digital X · 30 Dec 2015 at 16:59

Ah shoot, was out today so just grabbed it there. Worth 35 quid im sure though!

Anyone using the Xbox with the TV Tuner is having issue with channels / oneguide and how it's completely messed up?

I was away for a week for Christmas, got back to no BBC2 HD / BBC 3 HD / BBC 4 HD etc, unless I unlock both SD and HD channels. Even then, I get nothing but just the channel way further down the list, no channel info or show info.

Was working perfect since day one till now.

Instant On still doesn't work properly for me, games or apps won't resume from their suspended state, I have to close them and reopen them which sort of defeats the whole point.

Strange as it works fine for me....and more or less always has

Is this across the board, or just on some?
I found that Assassins Creed simply wouldn't resume correctly, but all my other games are fine.

I have this issue with games that are internet connected, always get booted from game and have to reconnect.
