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.

Anyone have problems with external HDD randomly losing detection? Every now an again i'll wake the console up from sleep, and the external HDD won't be visible. I unplug and connect it again, still doesn't detect it.

Just seems to randomly start working again, i'm yet to find a reliable process to get the console to register the HDD.

Edit:

The problem above had become worse, my One stopped detecting the external HDD completely.

If anyone else has a similar issue, or problems with Kinect not powering on, I fixed both of these problems by disconnecting all the cables into the One for a minute or so, reconnecting everything and powering on.

Not "yet" I haven't, have been using mine a while without issue
 
Am I right in saying there was a behind closed doors press event for Xbox last week ?

Sure I read the NDA lifts tomorrow morning ?

Anyone confirm ??

Wondering what the news could be ?

The second APU in the console's is to be activated, doubling the console's power.

Miss realistically, OS updates, cortana maybe, and/or a VR headset or holo lense for Xbox.

I thought the rumour was that they where bringing a new updated more powerful chip based on the latest AMD polaris architecture :)
 
Any recommendations on an external hard drive?

take a look on the rainforest.

There is a external caddy that sits flush on the left hand side of the box. The caddy connectes to the USB3 port.

It add's a HDD and also two front facing USB ports. I have one (not yet put in a HDD in, I just wanted the front facing USB ports to tidy up the box).

I'd be pretty confident that's what will happen. They'll say it'll get a slightly faster cpu and then not say much more. Then come e3 they will show a smaller and cooler running xbox, but with the big surprise of a Thunderbolt 3 port. Allowing a graphics amplifier to be plugged in giving pc like graphics...

..then I wake up. Pipe dreams eh! Still, never know.
