*** The Official Xbox One Thread ***

Yeah I did the same as Joel (Microsoft store, Xbox.com and redeem) You'll need Google Chrome so it translates the page for you. I got 2 Russian gift cards (1500 ruble total) which cost me around £12 and for that I got Rocket League, Binding of Isaac and some DLC cars and still had 200ruble left

So really 2 games cost me £10!
 
Anyone have any ideas about XboxOne controller not keeping power unless its plugged in via cable regardless of AA's being installed or not and still doesn't keep power with a fully charged (non official) charge and play kit!?

Only reason I could give is faulty hardware not detecting the power levels in the battery, have you updated the firmware etc for the controller to see if that helps?
 
So my Xbox elite controllers left trigger was sticking when I enabled the hair trigger mechanism.

Seeing as I bought it Nov 2015 from game, I popped into my local one when I explained the issue. They agreed that it was faulty and replaced it on the spot, considering that I've had it since Nov 2015 and the issue has been there from day one but just never got round to getting it replaced. I was thinking they would tel me to get m$ to replace it but was pleasantly surprised that they did it themselves.

New one works without any issues. Kudos to game for their outstanding customer support. I know they get a lot of stick but they really went out of their way to find a solution to my issue.

not really. they had to replace it since it's a defective product and your within 12 months is it not?
 
Right, I've seen people hook up a G27 and shifter to the xbox using an adapter.

1. Which one is "best" ? (or easiest to use/setup)

2. I have a seperate USB shifter, can this be used as well? I have the stock G27 shifter if not.

3. Any input lag, or way to combat it?

a few ways

firstly go to these sites.

http://xbox-store-checker.com/en/home
http://www.digitalgamesprices.com/xboxone.php

find where is the cheapest.

for this example we'll use russia.

for russia i go to http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msru/ru_RU/cat/Xbox-LIVE/categoryID.67038600

buy the corresponding amount of rubles in gift cards (no vpn required)

redeem them on your xbox.com account (change the store to russia in the bottom left hand corner of site)

redeem said codes.

click buy game, it will show your available rubles and boom.

alternatively.

go to xbox site, click to buy game (after changing site to russia)

enter all your details but put in a random russian address.

connect vpn to russia

click buy (not tried this with russia but i did it with south africa yesterday)

with russia i just buy the gift cards first as you dont need a vpn



ps.... also game share with someone and you can share the price of games/xbox live.

I've been doing this but using the revolut card app to checkout. Just transfer sterling onto it, input it as the card for checkout and voila

Can you explain how that works? Do you have to pay through the app on your phone? Do you need to set up a Russian billing address with MS?

Cheers

open revolut account
top up with money
checkout on xbox site using vpn and russian billing address (if buying from russia, ammend for the location otherwise and use the correct vpn)

personally i just use my cred card as the fee seems to be minimal.

i just use the vpn for specified country

with russia you dont need a vpn if you buy the gidt cards and use them instead.
 
Bought 2 games from Russian store last week, both games not working tonight telling me to insert the disc if I own it....

Hopefully just live playing up..
 
First time i have turned my xbox on in over a month.

Screens buggered, games down work and it is running like ****. About a 10 second delay from pressing the controller to anything actually happening on the xbox.

Mad that xbox live being down can make your xbox feel like its on its last legs (unless it is actually on its last legs)
 
Thank goodness, thought it was just me! Tried watching a Bluray with no joy, same with netflix. Must have misplaced my netflix disc :(
