A heads up on Blitz that I had to learn the hard way: because the servers are down, that means some achievements are no longer unlockable, and some are crazy hard now. Like, getting gold stars mostly required the use of powerups, but now that you can’t buy power ups anymore it’s not possible...

In addition to what gorgo said (same, I have my full 360 library moved over… in fact iirc the individual DLCs still move over if purchased on the 360, it’s just the disc exports that ran out… and EVEN THEN if you imported RB1 into 2, or 2 into 3, you’d still have those)… If you’re seeing used...

In my experience, somebody is trying to log in to my account almost every hour of every day. It's likely because my email address was in some prior data leak, and thankfully I've got multifactor stuff set up (on top of "the password I use for my MS account is not used anywhere else") so I'm not...

To whoever recommended Brotato as a Game Pass achievement farm: thank you. I've played a bunch of Vampire Survivor and while I slightly prefer the gameplay of VS, the fact that it dumps all of the achievements you earned at the same time, at the end of the run, made it non-ideal for daily quest...

I played Jewel and a PC game yesterday, but never got the points/notification. Today I got the points for yesterday’s actions (it did not complete today’s). Then played Jewel and it gave today’s credit right away. For the points from reading news, it’s been working for me in the Bing app. I...

Thanks to everybody that called out the Immortals offer in the Just For You stuff. I missed grabbing it around Xmas time and likely would have missed it again had it not been for those posts. :)

That just sounds like a rep that doesn’t understand how certs work. Unlike a gift card (which just acts like a form of payment) the certs reduce the price of the item. So a $15 cert will make a $70 game show up as $55 on the receipt. So to the untrained eye “hey you paid $55, so I’ll just give...

Just to put it down and make my Business Update guess official: I don’t think it’s anything super dire (yet). It’s probably something like: - we’re gonna stop making so many/any discs. All Xbox first party games will be digital only from now on. (Which will have the knock on effect of making 3rd...

Speaking of new releases and achievements, I know nothing about Grotto, but that might be a “grab it on vacation if it’s cheap” game for me if it’s a reasonable completion. All 20 achievements start with “E”… and TA has taught me there are certain letters that my backlog just doesn’t want to...

This was also my first impression. My second impression was “looks like a 3 hour completion based on TA.”

FWIW I was able to reveal and redeem my Deathloop key today, but I wouldn't count on that function working much longer. I definitely have keys from other past bundles where the "Reveal Key" button has disappearred and was replaced with "The redemption deadline was XX, XX, 2022" Like this one...

Man, there's no way I'd try to play the leaked Wolverine. Pirated games already have a malware risk just due to what you have to do to allow them to play on your system... a pre-release version where nobody knows what the files are actually supposed to look like? No way, no thanks.

Gotham Knights: Deluxe Edition is $13.49 on XBL - Today (12/4) only

Yep, that's it. Depending on your Xfinity Rewards tier you can get up to a $25 Xbox/PSN/GS gift card. My own Silver account had nothing, another family member's Platinum level had $25.

And an additional thing to let people know to watch out for: one of my relatives recently bought their first Roku device. During setup they got a message (which I later found out to be an ad) saying they needed to call a phone number to complete the activation... which of course wanted money to...

FWIW, I recently read (a post, an article? I forget) that highlighted that yeah, the shame of having to admit to a family member that you got scammed is a big factor that scammers play on. Most of our older relatives are already feeling behind for not keeping up with technology, they probably...

Today the Keep 7 Friends and Subscribe to Game Pass bonuses we’re back in the Xbox app for me, so my daily “play a level of Jewel” was worth 60 again instead of just 30 points.

My Bing app on iOS isn’t giving points for related image searches anymore. To get my daily searches I’d typically image search for something like “tigers” and then click on every related suggestion at the top of the screen. (Tiger toys, tiger cartoons, tiger clip art, baby tigers, etc). Now it...

Yeah they also released a full screen Cod ad that shows up when the console boots up. So that’s a crappy thing to see. :|

From what I've seen on the AWA Discord, getting a score above the target amount (5000?) improves your chances of earning DRP (and makes you eligible for the higher rewards?), but there's no guarantee. e.g. I've won 500 DRP on a score of 3 when I didn't have time to bother playing, but I don't...
