Usually over heating, and bad soldering as I mentioned.

How long does Microsoft credit last?
I got $50 on my account since June, waiting for those three games.
If you go to your microsoft account and check the 'payments/billing' section it will show how much credit you have on your account and expiration dates (if it has any)

 
Anyone else having trouble with Game Pass games registering as a Game Pass game and not registering as launching for the daily rewards? I'm not even getting the Game Pass badge in the lower right corner which is strange.

Happy thanksgiving my fellow American CAGs.
I couldn't make it work yesterday or today.

Same, I'm stuck as well.

I've had USB ports since damn near when it began and never heard of overheating. I know I've been brutal on my external by being temperamental with my installs. I think it would be a contact fail if something would malfunction

Well, decided to finally take the plunge on a 4K TV and getting a TCL 55" series 6 2018 coming in on Saturday. Can't wait to see how great my Sega Genesis Mini games look on it!

Also this probably has to be one of the most uneventful Black Friday's so far. Nearly everyone has the same deals and only slight variables, but not much. Not that I still didn't spend over $150, but nothing too shocking this year.

Only time I've ever had a USB port break/burn out was an old college laptop.

Happens to me with 360 GP games which I own, where achievements wont register in GP quests.

Never in my decade's of gaming and IT work have I seen a USB port overheat from external drives or an other accessories. Sure if it's been badly soldered then it's doomed to fail regardless of what's plugged into it. Failure from a power surge, maybe.

Between my two Xbox X's (and the S's before that), PS4 Pro, and PC, all which have external drives connected 24/7, never had any problems. I can't even recall any widespread issues with any of the recent consoles.

In any event I wouldn't worry about it.
 
I upgraded to an S from an OG last Black Friday when I happened to get a Target gift card in my hot little hands. I immediately noticed the difference, and my TV set only does 1080. Faster loading times, no hum in the background from the system, and smaller size. It's pretty awesome.

And you can dump your copy of Star Wars at the closest Gamestop or trade it on the forum here.
If I do get it I'd have to re-download all my games correct? I have an external HDD but that wouldnt make a difference right?

I don't have an external HDD myself, but I believe that you can move all the games from your OG to the drive and then just plug the drive into your S without having to redownload everything as long as you're using the same account. What I did was to use a male-to-male USB cord to connect my OG to my S, and then I just moved the games from one to the other that way. Just make sure that you make your S your new home console. I still have my OG as a backup since the trade-in value at GameStop didn't really warrant me getting rid of it.

 
Well this is good news for the future! Thank you to those who replied. Pretty cool that is doesnt make you download again in this day and age

https://techcrunch.com/2006/10/27/nykos-intercooler-causes-problems-for-xbox-360/

Infamous Nyko Intercooler for x360 caused RRoD.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laptop_cooler

"Poorly designed coolers may use fans which draw more current than allowed by the USB standard. Without correct protection, such devices can cause damage to the USB power supply."


You can easily find numerous forum posts about Y-splitters and USB hubs causing damage to either the power source (ie xbox) or device being powered (ie hard drive).


I prefer AC powered external hard drives. Xboxes run hot enough without pulling additional power through then unnecessarily. YMMV.

Just bought it, had to. Didnt realize that it also came with the white controller which I just ordered for $40 (obviously going to return it). Over $100 value not including the console for only $215. Probably the best bundle I've ever seen for any system. Thanks for all the help.

We are all here to help each other. Or at least, we should be here to help each other.

I got the Minecraft bundle last year. I still haven't played Minecraft even though I redeemed the code. And there might be a one-month Gold subscription or a one-month Game Pass subscription in the box as well. As far as I'm concerned, those S One bundles are a great deal for people who are looking to save money but still want to play Xbox One.

Happy Thanksgiving to the best group of members on this site. There is another 50 pt quest for unlocking an achievement. This one rewarded immediately.
This 50 points thing keeps popping up on my Rewards once a day. So I keep going back to the same games just to get one achievement to pop. After I hear the sound, I turn off the game and go back to it the next day. Those SNK arcade games are like the gift that keeps on going. Unlimited continues if you're terrible at the game so you can keep on playing, and they spit out achievements like a sonofagun.

Infamous Nyko Intercooler for x360 caused RRoD.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laptop_cooler

"Poorly designed coolers may use fans which draw more current than allowed by the USB standard. Without correct protection, such devices can cause damage to the USB power supply."


You can easily find numerous forum posts about Y-splitters and USB hubs causing damage to either the power source (ie xbox) or device being powered (ie hard drive).


I prefer AC powered external hard drives. Xboxes run hot enough without pulling additional power through then unnecessarily. YMMV.
Sure a bad product could cause an issue, but that's more on Nyco itself, nothing to do with the USB connection. I had a RROD 360 and didn't have an external drive or a 3rd party cooler attached, the 360 was prone to failure regardless.

I agree that using a USB hub without external power on a console could cause issues as it's attempting to draw from a single USB source. Proper USB hubs come with a power plug. Definitely don't recommend a splitters as well.

External drives and SSD's should be directly connected to the console anyways. I have one X with an 8TB HD (powered externally) and a 500GB SSD. The other X has a 2TB HD and a 500GB SSD. A PS4 Pro with a 1TB HD. And a PC with a 4TB HD. Out of all of these external drives, only the 8TB requires an external power source as it's a 3.5in drive. The others are 2.5in and the power draw on the consoles USB 3 ports can properly operate them without any issues. As I said I run these things 24/7 and never had any USB failures. MS and Sony enabled these consoles to handle external drives and really isn't an issue nowadays.

The Xbox One SAD with Sea of Thieves, Minecraft, and Fortnite stuff at Rakuten is pretty tempting at $115 with promo code (thanks20), and if I could sell the Fornite code for $20. Goes for $39 at CDkeys so shouldn't be that difficult. You can get another $30 off if you use a Mastercard after spending $100 if you have that as a credit card.

It's a daily thing that started 2 days ago. I don't remember how long it will last.

As everyone else mentioned, the daily quest to play a gamepass game isn't working. I emailed MS to inform them. The 30 pts for two days isn't much but we haven't gotten credit for the month long quest for these.

Started up Gears 5, had the campaign completion achievement pop, so I got the 50 point daily quest completed.

Forza Horizon 4's Forzathon shop will cycle through some cars at low FP prices. A number of the cars are available in the autoshow (TVR FE is in the skill tree of the regular TVR Sagaris, Maserati Tipo, Ford #2 GT40, AR Giulia and Ferrari #24). The Ford #2 and Ferrarri #24 are 10M credit cars.

Non-autoshow cars include the Quartz Regalia from Final Fantasy 15, the Hot Wheels Twin Mill, the Apollo Intensa, Koeniggsegg CCX and Chevy Camaro preorder car. They will cycle through the shop every 3 hours, beginning at noon UTC / 7am Eastern today.

Lol thanks for the Forzathon tip! Looks like I'm setting an alarm to wake up early for the RTR. Reminds me of some old school FM4 AH drops when the UK peeps would do some exclusives. I miss old Forza sometimes.
 
Only time I had a USB port go out is when I bought a splitter from monoprice and plugged it into my desktop and it immediately got burning hot and my port never worked again.

Is anybody else’s Netflix not working?

I sure wouldn't mind a SAD for an extra boosting console, but I'm worried I'd just get pissed at having such a device in my house and hate myself.

I almost bought it for the discounted price on Rakuten, but then Amazon had the coupon for the 1TB Fallen Order bundle for $160. I'll sell the code for Fallen Order (already bought it) and it'll be the same price afterward. I figure with the price of a new controller being $40-60, that makes the console about $80 net total.

 
Doing another little giveaway... still got a full set of all the Rockstar Skins for Gears 5 (including the Circle K and Walmart Skins). If you have already unlocked some of the skins you are still fine to enter, however it would be appreciated if you pass on your duplicates.

To enter simply like this post. Winner will be drawn this Friday!
Last 24 hours on this, you can also like this post to enter (you will still only get 1 entry though)

Oh yeah I looked over the obvious of brand new controller in hand also... must resist. If we weren't probably an exact year away from another console would probably already be in my cart.

 
For those who care, the Bloodstained RotN patch finally got released (two months later). Overlord achievement is now fixed as well as a few other hiccups. Maybe we'll see Zangetsu dlc before summer 2020....
 
I think I need to watch a minit speed run. Even with a guide I fell behind so fast that I gave up going for the 25 or less deaths.

Edit: I was surprised I did it in 37. Felt like I died a lot.

Edit: Second run was a breeze. Got it then

Is anyone getting the daily quest to log into a gamepass game to work? I also notice the game pass logo isn't showing up in the corner when starting up a gamepass game.

These new quests had been working so quickly too.

Why you tell me that? I never even THOUGHT about getting an extra controller which I always need...
 


I upgraded to an S from an OG last Black Friday when I happened to get a Target gift card in my hot little hands. I immediately noticed the difference, and my TV set only does 1080. Faster loading times, no hum in the background from the system, and smaller size. It's pretty awesome.

And you can dump your copy of Star Wars at the closest Gamestop or trade it on the forum here.
Don't forget about not having an external brick of a power supply anymore. That is a big win in my book (same for Xbox One X, and hopefully all future Xbox consoles).

I’ve had that problem. I’ve clicked on it several times, then closed it out and restarted it. It takes me a few try’s but it eventually pops.
 
It's borked and I'm sure there is no one there today to fix it... at least Live is functioning /fingers crossed


This is a really decent price for the TCL with the local dimming zones for the better HDR

$399 at Bestbuy for the 55 inch

For $200 more you can get the new 2019 QLED model but damn this is very tempting.Which should I buy for my X?
 
My Mom just got me an Xbox One X with Jedi Fallen Order for $310 from Amazon. Not sure if it's the best deal on this. But, it was the only one that wasn't already sold out. I had already bought Jedi Fallen Order for my PS4 for $37 on Target, but I guess that I am going to give that to my little brother for his PS4, as I don't need two copies of the same game. And, I took the wrapping off, so I can't return it, and I have no GameStop in town, so I can't trade it in.

Unless it's a placebo, I already notice the difference in the menu speed alone with the S compared to the OG. Sharper and more defined menus as well.

Sticker is 349 on this salt, so that's great
 
Turned on my X1 for the latest auto sale in FH4 and noticed I got credit for two days of Play a GP Game daily quest. Looks like they fixed the issue.

 
Started up Gears 5, had the campaign completion achievement pop, so I got the 50 point daily quest completed.
Mine progressed instantly from a fairly low completion percentage to 86%. I could see it in the Achievement tracker. Replayed the finial missions of the final act and nothing. So I looked at my stats and saw I was still some how missing the last two chapters of Act 1. I played one and the percentage went to 93%. Replayed the other chapter last night and the achievement popped. It is amazing how buggy this game was for me.

Also looks like the collectibles are tracking. Or at least did in the 3 chapters I played. Not sure if I am going to finally try for all the collectibles or now.

2 bugs I ran into in the chapter of the final act/chapter.

There was one part where you had to clear all the enemies out of an area. I did that and nothing happened. My vehicle (which was driven by a NPC) was just crashing into debris in the road repeatedly. It would not progress. I had to reload the check point and beat the same carrier I just beat. Then it let me progress. As I road in the back of the vehicle the screen did not fill in. You could only see the car and nothing else. The fill never came. Thought it was going to crash but some how didn't.
