Just a FYI for maybe you and others, I didn't see it on my web browser MS rewards page, so I decided to try the MS Rewards App on the Xbox One and if you go to the tile "Redeem your points for an Xbox Gift Card" and scroll through the 2500 points for a $5 credit is in there. Disappears after you do it so yeah one time use.
Thanks for posting this! Got one

#FORZATHON weekly is not working for me. I already won 3 road racing sprint races and the progress is stuck at 1/3. I've tried new races, old races, sprints, circuits, even dirt sprints and the counter won't budge. Anyone else have issues like that?

No spoiler tag?
 
I'm guessing it isn't for everyone, that just redirected to the rewards redemption page for me. Oh well.
Same, doesn't show for me either. Just the one standard credit reward offer. Heck, most things people find on here, like rewards offers, special deals, etc, never show up for me, or even work at all when links are posted. That three step one with the moongate never worked at all for me. The one for the 3000 points isn't working for me either. The punch card showed a checkmark, but I played several games from the two lists, got two achievements in each game just to be safe, and no advancement in the offer after waiting several days. These ms rewards things are just garbage. That Gold Quests too, played all three games for over 40 minutes each, used a timer to be safe, never heard anything after doing it. Meh.

Happened again this morning on another Forzathon. Again skills challenge. Two others were fine. Hopefully they figure out this match making issue. Will have to look into glitch later.
If you want to do the fh4 superwheel spin glitch i suggest you hurry up because I am sure it is going to get patched. It only works with VIP tho and if you never bought the lakehouse for 5 million. Theres easy videos on youtube, basically you go offline, delete the vip download, start the game, go to the house and then go online again and re-download vip to buy the house for 0 and you get 5 superwheel spins. Make sure it always shows you are buying it for 0 because if you ever buy it for 5 million, you cant do it again. On PC its even easier.

You can also do it when you gameshare,theres videos on how exactly to do it.

I think the superwheel spins are pretty fun to do when you are early in the game. Of course there is many ways to make money and xp from normal play, and you can buy all the cars in the auction house anyways, just make sure to never bid before the last 20 seconds of an auction, then you will win about every auction since a bid doesnt add time anymore for now as in fh3 or fm7 (thats also why its a bad idea to start auctions with a low starting bid, you have a very small chance it gets to a big price).

You can also befriend some of the chinese pc players who have billions of forza moneys, they will buy out your 10 million auctions if you ask nicely.

If anybody can pull off a usable streaming service I guess it would be Microsoft. But if they're really trying to reach outside of core gamers I don't know how much success they'll have. Maybe in countries where consoles aren't as popular or available, or with kids that can't get a system from their parents. It sounds like they want to get people who are used to mobile or browser gaming, but at the bare minimum the cost of this services will severely limit that market. Plus, imagine actually trying to play Cuphead with touch controls as they showed in the video. Multiplayer online with touch controls in Gears or Halo, hell even single player in those games with any kind of difficulty beyond the easiest. As for the hardcore being able to play games when by their systems, I know personally I'd much prefer either a dedicated handheld or a game actually designed with phone and touch controls in mind. I also don't think the internet infrastructure is there yet and probably won't be for years, at least in the US, no matter how many servers MS themselves create.

I guess we'll see, I just have a hard time seeing these streaming services all the big companies are talking about being able to do extremely well. My favorite take away from this video is the confirmation that this is a sidegrade and MS still will be making consoles. It does lend credence to the Scarlet rumors though.

 
I haven't bought a game for Xbox in a while so I bought three today from the Pixel Art sale.

I will get Mark of the Ninja Remastered for $5 since I own the original later tonight or whenever it goes live.

Looking forward to playing some more Xbox once I finish Spiderman in the next day or two.

 
The $200 trade in toward the X1X at Gamestop is back til 10/28. If you still have a VCR model, this is a pretty good deal. $250 for any PS4 or the X1S.

https://www.gamestop.com/trade
Thanks for the heads up. This is so tempting, but I have the gears of war s model still kinda want to hang on to it even though I would like the power of the X with 4k . Oh the choices lol
Any known issues with the X I should know about?
I am still having issues playing movies with my gears one S system. Support can't find anything wrong with it because it still plays games and I have the latest updates. That's the main reason I'm thinking about getting rid of my one S to get the X.

Why not buy the Special Edition for $5 and get the Remastered including the Special Edition for free? You'd be spending the same amount and get the Special Edition for both games.

 
Whether there’s a good date night or not, definitely looking forward to finally playing Mark of the Ninja on my X1X.
Been my #1 BC request and absolutely fine with paying the $5 to upgrade.
 
Apparently there was a big preview event a few days ago for Fallout 76 and the embargo ended today. A bunch of game news sites and Fallout/Bethesda YouTubers were flown out, got to talk to devs, and were able to play and capture 3 hours of footage that seems to not have any restrictions, so there is a TON of coverage. I'm watching some now. It's early impressions and I haven't actually got much helpful info yet. Just the expected stuff like it's not enough time to tell if the systems are really good or bad. 

-Now that the Special Perk Card system has been described, it actually sounds almost identical to WarFrame's Mod system, except I don't think you upgrade individual cards.

-Microtransactions were semi-detailed. Doing quests or challenges can give you Atom, which can be used to buy cosmetic items. You can also buy Atom with real money. The Atom shop was unavailable at the event so we can't see how much stuff actually costs or if grinding for items is actually viable.

-The game was running on Xbox One X for everyone, and ran like HOT GARBAGE. Constant framerate issues in every video so far. Bethesda acknowledged this and said the problem will be gone from the beta. The beta is in two weeks and likely already in certification, so I guess we'll see soon enough.

 
I haven't bought a game for Xbox in a while so I bought three today from the Pixel Art sale.

Fox N Forests
Iron Crypticle
Moonlighter

I will get Mark of the Ninja Remastered for $5 since I own the original later tonight or whenever it goes live.

Looking forward to playing some more Xbox once I finish Spiderman in the next day or two.
I bought Iron Crypticle on the PS4 and it was damn fun. Good choice.
 
Best couple of videos I've found. They're pretty detail heavy so these are more useful for people who are already Fallout fans. I might have been pre-mature in saying the game constantly runs poorly. It does have framerate drops often though, usually when action is happening and more players are close together.

Thanks for the heads up. This is so tempting, but I have the gears of war s model still kinda want to hang on to it even though I would like the power of the X with 4k . Oh the choices lol
Any known issues with the X I should know about?
I am still having issues playing movies with my gears one S system. Support can't find anything wrong with it because it still plays games and I have the latest updates. That's the main reason I'm thinking about getting rid of my one S to get the X.
Personally if my S was acting up I would unload it. Sounds like the drive is going to me.

I had a basic white S that worked fine. I took advantage of this trade promo a few weeks ago and don't regret it at all. Forza Horizon 4 looks pretty sweet on my TCL P605.

Wish they had a decent promo so I could trade my PS4 Slim in on a Pro.

Does anyone know what the usual value for an original Xbox One trade-in is at Gamestop, or does it vary by store? I have both an original PS4 as well as an original XO to trade in, and while I could use the $250 value on the PS4 towards a One X, I'm guessing they won't give me the $200 for an XO as well, as that would be combining offers?

Thanks

Some people claim to get both but I doubt most people get both promos.

XBox One is only $70 TIV if you didn't take advantage of a promo. Plus currently there is a $25 bump/promo.

If anybody can pull off a usable streaming service I guess it would be Microsoft. But if they're really trying to reach outside of core gamers I don't know how much success they'll have. Maybe in countries where consoles aren't as popular or available, or with kids that can't get a system from their parents. It sounds like they want to get people who are used to mobile or browser gaming, but at the bare minimum the cost of this services will severely limit that market. Plus, imagine actually trying to play Cuphead with touch controls as they showed in the video. Multiplayer online with touch controls in Gears or Halo, hell even single player in those games with any kind of difficulty beyond the easiest. As for the hardcore being able to play games when by their systems, I know personally I'd much prefer either a dedicated handheld or a game actually designed with phone and touch controls in mind. I also don't think the internet infrastructure is there yet and probably won't be for years, at least in the US, no matter how many servers MS themselves create.

I guess we'll see, I just have a hard time seeing these streaming services all the big companies are talking about being able to do extremely well. My favorite take away from this video is the confirmation that this is a sidegrade and MS still will be making consoles. It does lend credence to the Scarlet rumors though.
I mean Phil said as much at E3 in regards to there will still be consoles. There will most likely have skus like they do now with the S and the X when he said we aren't working on a console we are working on "consoles" as well as the streaming stuff. Probably decided it was just a good time to drop this video after the mostly positive buzz Google was getting this last week.

The intriguing part to me in the video and the write ups. it's not really a focus so much on the traditional "infrastructure" that so many get hung up on as not being there to support a service such as this, but it seems they are focusing more on cellular data networks like 4G and the upcoming 5G.

Again I'm not totally sure who the market is for since I will always want a dedicated hardware box, but in reality I'm in the minority. It will be interesting to see where the future goes with it. I do think this is part of the path of the whole grand vision to have Xbox just be an app that you access on whatever you want. Will we see a little tile in the apps sections on the next consoles form Sony or Nintendo that say "Xbox"? Probably not, but I could see it as an option in your next streaming stick, TV, tablet whatever.

 
Finally got the achievement for all roads driven in Forza. A stupid driveway had me stumped for an hour.
Mine was a driveway also. South of the word "Astmoor" on the map was a traffic circle, southwest of that traffic circle was a tiny driveway with a bonus board behind the house. Took me a couple days to find that one.

 
Same, doesn't show for me either. Just the one standard credit reward offer. Heck, most things people find on here, like rewards offers, special deals, etc, never show up for me, or even work at all when links are posted. That three step one with the moongate never worked at all for me. The one for the 3000 points isn't working for me either. The punch card showed a checkmark, but I played several games from the two lists, got two achievements in each game just to be safe, and no advancement in the offer after waiting several days. These ms rewards things are just garbage. That Gold Quests too, played all three games for over 40 minutes each, used a timer to be safe, never heard anything after doing it. Meh.
That Game Pass punch card was gone when I went to check the list of games. I had to find it on Reddit, hopefully it will still count since I have no way of checking now. As for the reward for the quest, in the past they have taken months to send them. Though I had to contact support multiple times when I heard other people getting the rewards, while I still had nothing. I'm still waiting for that same quest reward as you, as well as the Game Pass one for playing MCC.

I don't think you're In the minority here, not in the specific market we're talking about. I think the vast majority of people who care enough to discuss games prefer actual hardware, if only because of the lackluster offerings of OnLive and even PS Now.The quality just isn't enough for most, and that's without going into the concerns about not actually owning something and the impermanence of digital only goods. One other thing that's coming to mind is price. I think we have a long time before most people would be OK with paying $60 for a streaming only game.

I'm sure the landscape will be different 10 and 20 years down the line when younger generations grow up with this, but hopefully the technology improves to a level that people like us find acceptable too, while still having the option of dedicated hardware. We're really just starting to see companies look into this market. With Capcom and Ubisoft's Japan only Switch "releases" of Resident Evil 7 and the new Assassin's Creed.

True about $60 game, but what about $10 a month for Game Pass and/or EA Access? These would be very attractive value propositions and another step in the direction of antiquating physical media.

 
Any thoughts on Baja?  Tempted by it for $6.  Anyone played the remake?

Also, is Axiom Verge as awesome as I've heard?  Worth it for $10?

All that reminding people to get FH2 stuff before delisting and I forgot to get the IGN pack before it happened.  I did notice that the tokens are still available as opposed to previous games.  Also, the 360 version still appears to be available.  

Last chance to get Crysis 2 achievements.  I think the 11th is the last days for those servers.

 
For the Mark of the Ninja upgrade, does anyone know if you have to have Gold to take advantage of the deal? I think we bought it on my fiancé’s account and she game shares my Gold so we wanted to double check. Figured I’d ask here because I wasn’t sure where to begin to search for an answer
