Is anyone having any luck getting MS rewards to work right now? Redeem is broken AF at the moment. I checked on twitter and it seems like it’s a common issue, but I didn’t know if anyone here might have heard of any issues or known of any possible workarounds. Trying to redeem Xbox cash or gift cards just isn’t happening. I was able to do the $1 donation to Special Olympics with the MS match, so that’s a good thing at least, but I’d like to get some other stuff redeemed.

Every time I go to redeem, it says they need to verify my account, and I enter my phone number, then get a page that says “Something went wrong” and you start all over. I’ve tried multiple browsers and devices, and tried the text and call options. Very frustrating.
Try redeeming from the Microsoft Rewards app on xbox.

There is a post on reddit that is almost a day old that has a few saying the same thing, seems like things are borked atm and just have to wait it out.

 
Just to add my two cents about the rewards stuff, I redeemed a year of Xbox Live late last night (2am central) and had no issues but it also hadn't asked me to verify my number or anything. That still gets sent as a code.

Been having the same issue. Tried on my phone, PC and Bing app. All don’t work.

Thanks for the replies. Strider, your suggestion worked actually. Acted fine on the console. Guess that’s an option for some people in the meantime at least.
 
I can't even force my system to go online. It's constant HI! BYE! HI! BYE! until I punch a hole through the damned thing. You guys know what's going on here? Is Xbox Live down or something?

 
Turning 50 at midnight. Thank goodness I have games to escape reality and pretend I’m still young.
Congrats, buddy. You give me hope that I won't have lost my enthusiasm for this hobby by that time. I've been considering dumping the video game hobby when I turn 40 next month although it's more like considering the possibility of not spending any more of my hard-earned money on it and just playing what I already own. I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet. But happy birthday.

Dump the hobby? Getting older means you're closer to retiring, when you'll actually have time to work on the backlog. Won't have the reflexes for some games anymore, but that's what the lower difficulties are for.

Happy birthday bud! I'm 42 and find myself obsessed with playing games more than ever, even though the time to do it isn't really there. Hopefully I can keep this up and be like you are at 50!

And yes, there's a lot of opportunity for a sex joke there somewhere lol.

Like I said, Bloomy, I've strongly been considering it. Haven't decided what I'm doing yet. But let me clarify by saying that
"dump" doesn't mean going cold turkey and never playing another video game. Just not adding to my 37 year backlog/collection. So, I might keep what I already have in my backlog and just not spend anymore of my paycheck on games. It's inevitable for all of us at some point. And I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I've been considering it. Need to put more money in the ol' retirement account. Whatever I can't pay for with Bing points, I just won't buy.

 
Thanks for all the well wishes!

Now that I know I am probably the oldest dude on here, I’m off to kill myself
a few more times in the final RE2 boss battle
 
I'm older. I'm actually thinking about selling my stuff as I'm in the middle of a move and just seeing all the stuff I have to move drains my energy. And what do I do today, I get three games from Target's B2G1 promo.

I’m 52, you aren’t the oldest :) we are literally OG video gamers.
Oh, good. I feel better now.

And Gideon68, do not sell your stuff! Senior citizen CAGs must unite and never pack it in!

BioShock 1 is the only campaign I've played through 3x in my life. Would you kindly tell me if these interviews are PiP as you move along? :D/ That would push it up 451 slots on the backlog.
Sorry, they are not PiP, they are videos that you watch between gameplay (there's 1 to find per level). Also, sick reference bro. :)

Are you using a surge protector? I remember MS said a while back that you shouldn't use one with the X1X. I use one with mine anyway, but it might have been an issue with certain models of surge protectors.

Happy Birthday!

On the topic of collections, I sold all my stuff before going to college, I regret selling the NES and SNES, but I don't regret getting rid of my N64 or Gamecube, and recently got rid of my Wii. The NES and SNES are the only things I wish I still had, but I did buy the classic ones so I have those to be shadows of the past... I guess I really just wish I had my Earthbound, Secret of Mana, Lion King, and Aladdin carts on my SNES.

So we are 50, 51 (next month for me), and 52 with the fourth now saying how old he is.

I don't want to but my backlog goes back to the 16-bit Genesis and SNES plus the handhelds in between since then. I literally have a storage unit filled with boxes of games and collectibles. This doesn't even include the closets of stuff I have at home. Even if I decide to sell, I prob wouldn't be able to price them correctly as I'll prob add sentimental value to everything. lol.

First, Happy birthday AWP from Gamecock country!

Secondly, I can understand wanting to give up the hobby as you get older. I'm only 35 but after being diagnosed with AFib and early stage heart failure late last year, I have actually had to quit some games because they were too intense and I didn't like the way they made my heart feel. Plus, I have been nearsighted my entire life and as my eyesight gets worse, it is harder to see a lot of the stuff on screen, especially how far back I have to sit from the TV where I play. I have come close to getting rid of my X and just getting a New 2DS XL or 3DS XL to scratch my gaming itch. I've been jonesing for the old SNES stuff lately anyway.

Interesting, it looks like MS changed the wording on this.
Here is the original page:
https://web.archive.org/web/20171121004118/https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/console/console-wont-power-on

It has a line that reads "If you connect the console to another surge protector, the console cannot reach the full power that is needed for optimal performance."

The updated page no longer includes this warning.

It was a problem that used to cause issues with my console its the reason i quit using 2.5 in external drives and went to powered 3.5 in drives....

When I was having power problems with 4k output on the S, most of what I found stated that both the S and X models have built-in surge protectors, and plugging the console into a power strip w/ surge protection may make it more prone to surges since doubling up isn't ideal. Official documentation said to plug directly into the wall for this reason.

Happy birthday awp!

All of us older gamers are jumping out of the woodwork to chime in. I'm 36 and hope to still being gaming forever.

Random advice to older players out there - don't play It's Quiz Time. The AI hosts calls out my wife all the time, saying stuff like "you've proved that oldest does not mean wisest" and other smart ass remarks lol.
 
Finished my TA hangman yesterday.  Turns out, it would have been very hard for me to fail, given how many letters I had to unlock.

Ended up using 12 games across 17 letters.  2 mistakes: 1 was a complete accident as I wasn't expecting to unlock that achievement, and one was a genuine bad guess.

It was a fun one.

 
Happy birthday, AWP! I'll be 38 in a few months and will be damned if I stop gaming. Especially now that my boy is taking interest.

Happy bday AWP! Also for the older CAGs do you play online multiplayer like CoD,overwatch or halo?
Unless I am playing largely with people I somehow know, I don't do competitive multiplayer period. Hell any co-op where my random teammate can be turn on me I don't even play anymore. Life is too short to waste on garbage people

I mess around in H5, mostly warzone but occasionally I'll play a ranked team arena match here and there. I'll also get back into the Gears scene heavily again when the new one comes out.

THIS.

The older I get, the fewer people i'll play online with.

 
Damn, now I feel like the baby of this community at 30. So you're telling me there were video games BEFORE the Super Nintendo?!? Wow! (Jk, I grew up with a classic NES, as opposed to an NES classic, and I've seen pictures of Ataris in old encyclopedias.)
 
Happy birthday to AWP!

It is nice to know that so many of you are actually either older or around the same age as me.  I always assumed i was the older guy at 37 haunting the thread.
