Yea but how cheap is it to buy on disc right now?

Probably a couple quid... I'd rather pay 0 with games with gold and never require the disc. (I have 0 discs, and haven't used my xbox one BD drive in a year)

Thought I would grab gears 3 (360) seeing as its on GwG from the xbox.com website for when BC becomes a reality outside of the preview prog and found that I need to link a credit card to purchase a 360 game, much jokes

Can't see it becoming BC anytime soon with the remaster coming tbh

I have the same problem, but just download them on my 360.

Have you tried the xbox 360 version of smart glass? that might let you download without a creditcard/paypal linked.

I had a look at 360 smart glass. It only seems to let you start the games on the 360 - not buy them.

Why not just... link your card? It's not like you have to actually use it.

This seems like the most logical thing to do.

And the simplest.

I agree the store structure could be better. There is a section for demos however, if you scroll to the bottom of the store.

Ah! Hadn't seen that bit, thankyou.

There's big UI changes coming in the Autumn.

As for the TV stick, yes, you get the freeview channels through it. I have it and it works well enough.

Cool, look forward to seeing them.

Anyone here able to add me to the Preview Program please? - RocketRammer2k7

Is there a decent turn based rpg available yet?

GreenMint · 20 Jul 2015 at 13:35

Been on the preview program for about 5 weeks, lots of big updates, but nothing new really showing up? Aside from the preview dashboard app which doesn't really seem to have any functionality, unless I'm missing something? :eek:

Most of the recent updates have just been background things I believe, mostly in preperation for Windows 10 and the upcoming UI changes.

You can check the preview update forums to see what the latest patch notes are: http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_early_access/update_preview/update_preview_forums/default.aspx

Anybody have issues updating the xbox app on windows 10?
I just get an update error (other apps update fine)

I was trying the streaming but just get a blank screen. I don't see my xbox dashboard or game so guessed I may need the update first?

ChocolateStarfishRammer · 20 Jul 2015 at 16:00

It updated ok for me. You do need a fairly recent build of Windows 10 so perhaps check windows updates if you're in the slow ring.

The streaming I've actually found to be blooming amazing. Much better then i expected.

Have you seen Child of Light? Not exactly an RPG but has a turn based combat system in it and is pretty good. Free if you nabbed it on GWG a while back.

Just got my covert forces controller today, loving the improved shoulder buttons and the inbuilt headphone jack so I can use my Astro's without buying the chat adapter, needed another controller anyway so thought why not!

Mull3t · 20 Jul 2015 at 19:00

Streaming for me on this is unplayable. Strange as it's through wired LAN but the lag is awful.

Nice! - What's improved on the shoulder buttons? I'm new to the Xbox one and the shoulder buttons are very 'clicky' I find.

Spikey · 20 Jul 2015 at 19:54

They feel easier to push, and the main difference is you can push them all the way along the top of the button with ease, on the original pad if you try and push the button with your finger towards the center its very difficult. It's definitely an improvement.

I've tried it, got up to having the Jester in my party but it seem really basic and light on RPG elements.
