I didn’t see it on the app, where is it?
I saw it when I logged into the Rewards app on my Xbox One this morning, but the names of the individual titles aren't showing up on the Deals page, so I assume that it won't officially start until Monday night. The titles that were shown in the background were Rare Replay, Crackdown 3, and Sea of Thieves among others. If I were you, I wouldn't purchase any of them until the banner shows up on the Xbox Store.

 
I just went through the steps to download Minecraft world and it worked.
The world is set out with chests and a sign above each with a small description on the achievement unlocks eg benchmaking, would be make a bench.
Don't know if I will bother as I was trying to figure out what I am doing ( I don't play Minecraft usually) it got dark and I was surrounded by stuff attacking me.
I have heard that by using the world on the true achievements site it would take a couple hours to get all the achievements, and don't forget they extended the timeline to the 30th.
If you hit escape and change the difficulty to "peaceful" it shouldn't spawn any monsters at night. The only ones I had spawn were ones specifically setup to get achievements and it would also have a chest that would load me out with a bunch armor and weapons at the same time. Yeah most of my trouble was figuring out exactly how to do basically anything, wasn't too bad after some trial and error.

 
The reward for re-upping is seriously a bloodspray? Lol.
I've seen posts about the first 4 or 5 re-ups, they're all lame and seem to only be one item at time. Best so far were bad weapon skins, 1 gun at a time. They did say they are going to improve these rewards but gave no time frame.

I hope no one is buying their terrible yet expensive cosmetics, the whole system is fucked. With my Xbox down for two weeks I just gave up on this tour of duty. Way too much grinding of challenges to get the skin I actually want and that majority of the other rewards are junk like bloodsprays and mark icons. Both their own forums and the subreddit are upset with the state of the game.

 
Gears 3 had an almost exact type of system, like if you wanted Prescott or Griffin you had to play a ton of Horde and PvP games to earn them. You also couldn't get the Savage Locust skins or Shadow Of RAAM characters unless you bought the DLC pack. Tour Of Duty is basically a lightweight Onyx medal system. After Gears 4, nobody wanted RNG lootboxes for characters and skins and said they'd rather grind their faces off to get what they want,  so TC flips the script in 5 and gives the people what they asked for, and now all you hear on those forums is "I just don't have the time to grind". Nobody said it would be easy. Just gotta put the time in to get what you want. It's a 90 day op, with double stars being offered every so often and you get a free skip per day, plus the individual challenges for each mode in the Medal tab. It's more than enough to get what you want before the Operation is over.

 
I didn’t see it on the app, where is it?
Xbox Game Studios Sale is now showing up on the Xbox Store.

"The very best from Xbox Game Studios up to 75% off. Sale ends October 7, 2019"

Most of the games are $19.99 which isn't very much of a discount, and it won't qualify you to earn the 4,000 Bing points.

Anyone ever had trouble with a trial, purchasing the disc and it installing and still regarding itself as a trial?  Any known fix?  

I download the trial for call of duty infinite warfare, played it, enjoyed it, removed it.  Bought the disc, insert, load it up and it speaks about starting my trial on each start.  I went and deleted any left over user data and it still does it.  Buy game is prominent in the menus still too.

 
Anyone else ever get the Black Screen of Death, Green Screen of Death and White Screen of Death with their Xbox One before?

My day one edition I won from 7/11 contest started doing this. I found YouTube videos and fixed the problem temporarily since it keeps happening for the last couple days now. I think it’ll ultimately stay broken if I don’t replace internal parts. Would get an S if it goes down to $99 during the holiday sales, we’ll see. Getting an X isn’t an option since I rather wait for the next Xbox next year.
 
I haven't been able to play Minecraft if a while now. Every time I launch the game, it wants to download an update which always fails. I own the disc, I own the digital version, and I have game pass but no go. Anyone heard about this?

Are you part of Insider and enrolled in the Minecraft test? I was and had to unsub from the Minecraft test to get it to work.

I'm really starting to hate all of the grinding in games lately. MK11 was pretty awful and Gears 5 is terrible.

All of these cosmetics are trash.

After Gears 4, nobody wanted RNG lootboxes for characters and skins and said they'd rather grind their faces off to get what they want, so TC flips the script in 5 and gives the people what they asked for, and now all you hear on those forums is "I just don't have the time to grind". Nobody said it would be easy. Just gotta put the time in to get what you want. It's a 90 day op, with double stars being offered every so often and you get a free skip per day, plus the individual challenges for each mode in the Medal tab. It's more than enough to get what you want before the Operation is over.
You're right, in a sense, but iirc, Gears 3 had a ton of cosmetics that you started with or could get fairly easy. In Gears 5, it seems like everything is locked behind some wall.
 
A heads up for anyone who has not started playing borderlands 3 yet.  May want to play Tales from the Borderlands before hand since the game features characters form that game in prominent roles.  I did not and was left wondering who this person is and why is this game acting like I should know.  

A lot of people have been saying its just more borderlands and it looks the same.   It is more borderlands but If you liked the previous games than that isn't a bad thing.  The game looks better than any previous iteration, there is a lot more color and detail to everything from the guns to the environments and characters.  I've definitely enjoyed my time with it.

Yes, and there's a significant event that happens in Tales that I'm guessing will be spoiled by playing BL3, though I'm not sure as I haven't played BL3 myself yet.

It is spoiled by BL3, but to be fair, it's also spoiled in the Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary DLC they released for BL2.

 
Terminator gameplay for Mortal Kombat 11 is dropping tomorrow morning. If it wasn't mentioned before, NetherRealm got Arnold's likeness but not his voice. Schwarzenegger however, hand picked the person to voice him so i have faith it'll be good. Preparing those who were unaware cause I know the comment section in the video will be flooded with, "that doesn't sound like Arnold?!?!"

I'm really starting to hate all of the grinding in games lately. MK11 was pretty awful and Gears 5 is terrible.
This x100. I love those two franchises you just mentioned, but boy is the grinding atrocious. Especially in MK11

Thanks for the Bolt link Donken. Downloading now

I'm hoping for either Dana Carvey or Kevin Nealon to voice Arnold!

Sorry damn auto correct. For $40 would be instant buy for me too.
It’s funny, having multiple Xbox in the house means I want most things digital cuz then I can play it on two consoles at once w wife/kids but... for Switch since they have such a garbage digital policy of one console I buy most things physical so that I could play them on multiple consoles without buying a second digital copy. Now that they have Switch lite I wish they would be more like Xbox when it comes to digital.

Same exact position I am in. Especially since I've been trying to get my kids into gaming since they were born and I've finally succeeded with Stardew Valley for my daughter. So she has taken over my Switch and we're building a little farm. Wish I could get a second switch to do multiplayer with her but refuse to support Nintendo's shitty ways.

Try Zelda Breath of the Wild and show her how you can tame horses and buy clothes and outfits. My daughter got hooked on it for this for months, just got horses and clothes. After I finished it, she got excited and started playing it like an adventure game and she’s now at final Ganon.

I struggled on Zelda BoW but I'll let her try. See if she likes it.

Can't you game share on Switch? I do it with my buddy and we both can play Link's awakening at the same time? Or maybe I don't fully understand the dilemma. (sorry to continue the off-topic post)

Anyone else ever get the Black Screen of Death, Green Screen of Death and White Screen of Death with their Xbox One before?

My day one edition I won from 7/11 contest started doing this. I found YouTube videos and fixed the problem temporarily since it keeps happening for the last couple days now. I think it’ll ultimately stay broken if I don’t replace internal parts. Would get an S if it goes down to $99 during the holiday sales, we’ll see. Getting an X isn’t an option since I rather wait for the next Xbox next year.
$99 would still be really low for any model of X1, even used. You probably won't see a dip that low until at least next holiday, if not the year after. MAYBE if we see a $149 bundle new.

I'm not familiar with the issue you're describing but it sounds like a hard drive issue just judging from googling around. If your HDD is bad it's not too hard to replace.

 
Pablo Francisco is a great choice but I doubt it would be him
https://youtu.be/031vKBPk5eA

Man, I saw his stand up 11 years ago... maybe more? He was either on coke or meth during his set, almost ruined the act but he was able to deliver most of his jokes. Same thing happened with Dave Chappelle, stoned out his mind, stopping in the middle of jokes because he was laughing out of control. Still funny as hell though.

 
Weird, storeparser has the gold and ultimate editions of the division 2 listed as delisted and doesn't show sale history. Wanted to see what it's hit to decide on ghost recon. I know the standard version of division 2 hit 45% after 4 months but I know ubi doesn't always discount bundles at the same percentage. I think ghost recon will be on sale for black friday but doubt it will be more than 15%, maybe 25%.
 
Division 2 Gold (includes season 1 pass) has hit $40 or 60% off at least twice now. The last few years almost every xbox or ps4 game except a very select few have gone down to $30 of $35 Black Friday weekend.
 
Looks like Amazon might have another weird promotion going for Prime members, they have Ghost Recon Breakpoint on sale for $49 then another $10 off for prime members. Not my kind of game, but $20 off at launch seems a decent discount

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RP42TMG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?th=1
That would be price matching Walmart’s 49.94 and Best Buy’s $10 gift card.
It’s been that price since before the closed beta, cause that’s when I bought it.

Edit: $49.94 since July 16th....
