anyone complete that Gears 5 punch card?

if u have whats an easy multiplayer achievement???
i just got my "beginning of a beautiful friendship" achievement but punchcard hasnt shown it yet

do boot camp then versus arcade quickmatch and then youll get it

also i did bootcamp as soon as it was "ready to start" then chose to download the files for multiplayer over campaign so i was able to do bootcamp and get the achievement in arcade in about 20gigs of download

useful if you have a cap slow internet or just dont want that shit hogging your hd and dont plan on playing it

*update* it worked, punch card completed

Merry Christmas, everyone!

How long will that Gears 5 quest be up? Do you need to activate it first? Won't get back to my XB1 until Friday. Could probably pop one on my laptop before then, but also need to map out a plan of attack for the rest of TA's 12 days. Would work for the Game Pass ones for day 7, but I'm 2/6 in day 6. Was working on story achievements in BL3 and also popped the one for hitting level 25 - unfortunate, since that would've covered the "V" for day 12. But it had been a while since I played it, and I was enjoying it. Also got some upgraded weapons that finally seem to outclass the Infinity I'd been using for the past dozen or so levels. It doesn't pump out a lot of damage per shot, particularly since it's not elemental (if it can be in BL3), but given how some bosses were bullet sponges, not sure if I would've gotten past some of them without it.

yeh, the 750 limit on cars sucks, been cleaning cars out for the last 2 weeks to make room for the free ones this month, but yes definitely hit and miss on auction, all about timing and how many new players are joining in.
I've been dealing with the car limit for months. I'd just been posting things to the auction house that I had at least 3 of. For non-auto show cars, I think I'm just down to owning 3 of the Bone Shaker, Ferrari 599XX, FF15 Regalia and Mosler (before getting today's freebies). When you're viewing your garage, I wish there was an icon on the car to signify it was available in the auto show. Bit of a pain to keep hopping back and forth checking for cars that can be easily replaced, and would like to clear out stuff that I can just buy again if needed.

 
I've not heard of that happening to two separate Xbox consoles at the same time, weird. Did I understand the hard reset plus profile reload to mean you completely reset the consoles? Checking location and language also might help.

Also, have you tried a brand new test profile to see if you have a profile issue? You mentioned a license warning, could the profiles be corrupt?
 
Has anyone had issues with games installing from disc?
The only time I had disc issues the trick of inserting the disc halfway and then holding it for 2 seconds before letting go worked every time. I don't use discs anymore but that trick always worked on my day one console.

 
Is the Shadow of the Tomb Raider Definitive Upgrade essentially the season pass plus new cosmetics? Anyone know?
Purchased it last week. All it is is the season pass(extra tombs and costumes) and extra costumes that were in the DE. So if you own the season pass and don't want the costumes, just skip it.

I’ve tried that a bunch, that usually works, but hasn’t seemed to do the trick this time.

Yeah I completely reset the consoles except kept games and apps. I tried my XCom 2 disc and yooka laylee disc and they didn’t load either. I’ll check the region stuff but I don’t think I’ve ever changed it.

Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll call Microsoft tomo and see what they say. I thought maybe it was the blu ray reader but my kids watched a blu ray yesterday on it with no problems. I did just add a new external drive... the weird part is that my upstairs Xbox is doing the same thing so it makes me think it’s a beta thing or something.

You could always see if the games will play with the Xbox offline. The Insiders Reddit has a few posts of people needing to install or play offline and it looks like the Beta ring update has issues. Maybe try to install before running the Insiders app after fresh reset?

Last I checked, today, it said 7 more days. Nothing to activate.

 
Watching John Wick 3 for the first time... some brutal deaths in the first 20 minutes alone. I can't remember the last time I winced watching someone die in a movie

Anyone use Dolby Atmos for Netflix? Every single time I try to launch a title that uses it, it resets back to the dashboard. I COULD turn it off, but I'd rather find a fix, if there is one.

Also... any difference in quality between streaming Netflix in 4k and watching a 4k movie through something on movies anywhere? I'd imagine it would still be compressed due to the internet being involved.
Sounds like you need to delete your Atmos app and reinstall it. I had problems the first time i used it too.

Netflix streaming is good and discs are great, but not a significant enough upgrade for most people. I am not one of those people. Physical media is the best media.

 
Got $50 in Xbox credit for X-Mas. So, I got Assassin's Creed Odyssey Ultimate, and The Walking Dead Definitive Collection. As I figured that was a good amount of content per hour for the money, and I doubt that either of those will end up on GamePass soon.

The only time I had disc issues the trick of inserting the disc halfway and then holding it for 2 seconds before letting go worked every time. I don't use discs anymore but that trick always worked on my day one console.
My only issue with discs right now is that games still have massive updates :bomb:

The GF wanted to play RDR2 on the travel console, but I hadn't installed it yet. Tried to, it has a 16GB patch, which is not going to be okay on my (future) MiL's crappy internet.

Ultimately my fault for not setting it up in advance, but still annoying as hell.

 
Has anyone had issues with games installing from disc? DVDs and Blu Rays load right up on both my Xbox One X and Xbox One Fatty but my son got Plants vs Zombies Battle for Neighborville and I can’t get it to spin up. I thought it might be the disc so I tried Overwatch and that won’t spin up either. I’ve tried hard reset on both Xbox Ones, I’ve tried different discs, I even completely reset both xboxes and reloaded all the profiles. I read online sometimes instant on messes w discs so I shut that off and hard reset and still nothing. I unplugged it, unplugged both usb external drives and then plugged it back in turned it on and plugged back in the externals, that actually got it to install on the Xbox One Fatty and then I booted the game and it worked. Then I popped out the disc and put it back in and now it tells me I don’t own the license for the game because it’s not finding the game again. I’m in the preview program but just the lowest tier.

I think tomorrow I’ll contact Xbox Support. Just wanted to see if any of you have had this issue.
Ahh, somebody having the same issue. I've had this same problem with both of my slims. The worse culprits are the Batman Telltale series. The discs spin for a second, and then I try to load them, and I get a 'no license' notification. I do have external drives on both and the majority of the content is stored externally. That said, I think this is a software bug as it just started happening over the last few months.
A cache clearing full disconnect usually solves the problem, but it is annoying.

Uh, congratulations. Is this your way of sneaking in the big news (unless I wasnt around when you actually mentioned it, I dont remember you ever alluding to your gf as fiance, ever)?


C'mon, this is wonderful. We deserve a party...

ps: Sorry if I'm butting into stuff that's none of my business.

Nah it's cool =) It's not official but we are actively planning for it to be, so I'm already thinking of family that way.
 
My roommate got me Fallen Order for christmas, pumped to try it out but think I'll try to play headlander before it's gone next week and some overwatch and apex winter events.
 
Xbox has no support anymore I guess, just “ambassadors” that only give me the solution of hard reset which I’ve done. I have a Microsoft store in town so I’ll bring it to them and see if they can do anything for me.

There's still a way to contact MS. They just make it very difficult. Last time I contacted them they stated no more phone service but you can submit a ticket for them to call you.

I had good luck with that. Made an appointment online, brought in my X for diagnosis, and they handed me a new one no questions asked. Hope it’s as easy for you.
 
Happy Holidays everyone!

Busy week last week, so I missed the give away :(

So I'll do something a bit nicer this week

Like this post for a chance to win Back in 1995

I also started RDR2 over the weekend, man I slept hard AF on that one

Yikes, probably should hide my ambassador badge 😉
 
It is hella weird going from a 2 day break to back to work because I keep thinking today is Monday so I keep expecting new date night deals.

 
That's just the way it is now...the same few games and DLCs go on sale...there are still a lot of games and DLCs that never even had a sale in the first place...and with each day chances are getting lower...there is a "huge" countdown sale going on on the 360 https://majornelson.com/2019/12/16/this-weeks-deals-with-gold-and-spotlight-sale-168/

but...same games as always..
Like I saw Ninja Gaiden 3 and Lords of Shadow 1 and 1.5 both become free this year, and it left me with hope we'd see the rest go on sale, or become a free game..
It may still happen, but as you said the chances get slimmer and slimmer

Haha, I didn’t mean any offense, I was just meaning I feel like I might need an actual employee of Microsoft on this one.

I’m trying a bunch more stuff, I’ll update once I find a solution instead of boring everyone with what isn’t working.

!!Update: I dropped out of the Beta updates on my Xbox one X and reverted to the previous console version and Plants vs Zombies is now installing! Hopefully it keeps working.

So what's the bigger disappointment? The fact that it wasn't date night, or the usual stuff they give us as "deals"?
I Bought 17 games yesterday from that Gamestop b2g2 CAG16 deal. I Feel it's secretly a blessing...

You know, this blessing of me not traveling ahead to the future just yet.

Nah, it's wasn't like that. I was just joking around. Glad to see you fixed it!
 
Wth is going on with Control price wise? Was gearing up to buy it tonight and it's already back to full price. I know there was that game pass flub from Phil a bit back so maybe they pulled the sale since it might be a January game pass addition to not piss anyone off? Just seems weird that it would already be back to normal price.

I noticed that last night while I was lying in bed looking through the date night sales again. I just happened to click on it and saw there was only 3 hours left tp but it (it was 1 a.m.) so I went ahead and picked it up since it was on several GOTY lists (and WigBuster's best game ever list).

I also grabbed River City Girls since that was on my wish list. Now just need to wait patiently for Stay Cool Kobayashi-san and Deponia Collection to go on sale. Oh, and The Messenger too.
 
It's crazy The Messenger hasn't come to the console itself but is on PC with full achievements and what not, game is a good one

That worked!! I tried everything else... reset on the xbox, uninstall/reinstall netflix, switch out all hdmi cables. Now enjoying The Witcher in HDR/Atmos glory :)

 
If you suck at Gears 5 multiplayer, like I do, and want that 500 rewards point punch card; you can get a quick achievement by starting 5 custom arcade death match games set to 1 round and all members of opposing team locked.

Creating a hive escape map and publishing it works too. Took like 5 - 10 minutes.
 
Any gears players want the rare skin code that comes with the controller? I'd rather sell it here then try eBay. Codes goes for 15-20 on eBay but I'll sell it to one of you guys for 10.00
 
Greetings everyone! Got a One X for Christmas, my first Xbox ever, so I'll be lurking around this thread now. Any recommendations for hidden gems from OG, 360, or One would be greatly appreciated. I think Jet Set Radio Future and Call of Duty 2 (if that counts) are the only exclusives I've played. Already have Game Pass Ultimate paid out for 3 years as well. Also, is there a good tool for tracking the price history of digital game deals for Xbox? Something similar to PSprices, unless that's the best choice for Xbox as well. Thanks in advance!
