People are unsure if ms have blocked it or if they've temporarily blocked payment from poorer countries due to poor exchange rates.

Can't get it to work any way, and there's no TRY cards about either looks like it's back to full retail

Halo ODST is free of you do a few tasks :cool:

• Quest 1: Play 120 minutes in Halo: The Master Chief Collection

• Quest 2: Complete five new achievements in Halo: The Master Chief Collection

• Quest 3: Increase your Gamerscore by 50 points.

The second and third will come easily during your 120 minute play of Halo MCC. As mentioned previously, you have until 30th September to complete these to claim the ODST add-on, so plenty of time to get an hour and half in.

Lots of people got 2 week Online bans for using a glitch method of forcing payment in mostly Turkey and Argentina.

The VPN method was great so I will miss the much cheaper prices.

It looks like MS have aligned their payment system to Sony where it checks the credit cards originating country and even Revolut. And Monzo show up as UK cards.

Forza Horizon 4 demo rumoured to be released later today, could be a placeholder page?

That Forza 4 demo is coming later around midday I think.

Does anyone else prefer to buy games outright than use something like Game Pass, I have a sub of GP currently but I have not played any games from it for the last 2 months, I don't get time to play loads of games now days, so tend to be a bit more picky in what I decide to play.
The next game I wish to play on XB is FH4, I know I will put a lot of hours into it, so I think is it worth just buying it separate and letting GP lapse.
I also like to have that feeling I own the game despite it being digital than rent it from GP.

Anyone else feel the same, that GP can be good if you use it a lot but a bit pointless if you only play the odd game know and then.

Just bought a XB1X again. Glad I did, more snappy, better graphics and I also find it much, much more quieter compaired to the S.

Damn, I bought it a week or two ago when going through them all. I hope they sort out the various issues. But Halo 4 and 5 are superb as they are.

Its a tempting deal but I prefer physical media I can then trade in or sell towards something else. Once all physical game media has gone the digital prices will be jacked up even higher than the std £79.99 a new release with all content is right now. Digital should be way cheaper but MS & Sony prefer to keep the prices sky high & cut out the retailers to maximise profits. The other thing with GP is that its effectively tied to an Xbox Live Gold sub as well so not really £7.99 a month as you have to add XBLG sub cost on top of that.

IIRC you don't need gold for game pass, only if you want to use the online side of these games.

Forza Horizon 4 demo is out I see, anyone given it a blast on the X yet? Bet it looks incredible.

VincentHanna · 13 Sep 2018 at 01:11

Yep, it's pretty extensive as well!

I wouldn't say the graphics were a massive leap over Forza 3, but it does have better looking HDR

In terms of the gameplay it seems like it's barely changed at all though.

hyperseven · 13 Sep 2018 at 01:26

Put about 2hrs in FH4 demo, lovin it, roll on the 28th

Played in 4K@30, will try the 60 mode tomorrow. As mentioned the HDR is stunning.

Davanius · 13 Sep 2018 at 09:01

Yep, love the demo already. Great performance on One X and PC even though I wish it was 4K 60 on console.

Tried the 60fps mode but looks a little off due to playing on a 4K TV but at least it's very smooth.

McManicMan · 13 Sep 2018 at 09:17

Wish it had a better soundtrack, weakest of the series, apart from that runs great and looks fantastic at 4k on my KS7000,

I agree. I ended up turning off the radio.
