Are they including a 3 year warranty? Pretty sweet if so. Hope this one works out better for you.

 
Gotta say I’m glad it’s on GamePass. It is sad with so many delays. But I’ll still play it!
I’m glad its on gamepass too, I think people should play terrible games every once and awhile to appreciate the good ones more.
 
Another old school 2003er here. If you were trading on either goozex, vg five, or whatever else it became more then likely we have traded before since I was around for the lunch and failures of those sites. Then digital became easier and more convenient so trading slowed.
 
The fact that the FFIX page went live the day the game released (with no option to pre-order) doesn't bode well for me buying FFX/X-2 before it launches. I've got lots of that December promo credit that will expire before then so I'll need to figure out what to do with it before it goes to waste.
I dunno what you should spend your credit on, but if you have a PS3, you might as well get FFX/X-2 there since it's only $2 at Gamestop in their current 4 for $10 promotion. It also has a very handy cross-save feature that lets you upload your save to Square's server so you can play the Vita and PS3 version interchangeably.

I'm assuming the console Microsoft is sending is only going to come with a 45 day limited warranty. What I want to do is buy the FO76 bundle that's on sale on newegg with a 3 yr warranty. I'll sell the console Microsoft is sending along with the FO76 code.
 
Don’t read comments on any of those Crackdown 3 reviews. They are savage from Sony fanboys railing on Microsoft’s lack of exclusives. I mean they’re right to an extent but I still love my X.

Cross-save also works with the PS4 version. This is the reason I got FFX on the PS4 (in addition to the cost difference). XII is newer and I was okay paying ~$40 for my preferred platform, but $50 for a port that is dirt cheap on PC, PS3, Vita, and PS4 is asking a lot.

Unless you really want to see Tidus laugh at the sky in 4k.

 
I've been here since...uh, June 2006 and I'm 32. I Think in the long run this site has made me spend more on games as opposed to being cheap, but oh the deals I've found. Penny Amazon deals will forever be with my heart.

Microsoft Studios should be embarrassed for how Crackdown 3 turned out after 5 years in development.
I Want to say I'm surprised, but if you were to ask me to sum up the first two games in a nut shell I'd say "OCD orb collector" and it wasn't really fun so much as you did it because it was there. Was hoping within the long, long development time they'd give the game some personality, but nope. Oh well, I'll still either get it when it's hella cheap or when I finally subscribe to Game Pass. You'll go in the backlog eventually too!

 
I was right about Fortnite/Epic pulling out all the stops thanks to Apex. With the Valentine's Event you can earn the next BattlePass for free on top of the other free stuff.

 
Final Fantasy IX is a play anywhere title released by surprise? Day one purchase for me, even if I might not get to it in the next two years. I have issues.
 
Yeah I was on Goozex. Had a couple of good years before they went out business.
I used to love Goozex too. Kept my video game habit going during an extended period of unemployment. Was hyped when I got my final match to take me zero tokens and zero points during the final months.

The Sony fanbois are more critical of Xbox\Microsoft then actual Crackdown 3. Between this and their superior attitude over cross-play, I can't go near anything gaming related without my blood pressure going stroke level. Fanbois in general are shameful but lately the Sony ones are high af

Where you here on the thread when Sea of Thieves came out? Boy, what a day that was :cold:

 
The Digital Foundry video actually kinda makes me want to give Crackdown 3 a shot. It sounds like a perfectly competent game for what it is, it's just been overhyped (esp after that E3 2015 demo). If they had marketed it as a remake of the original game with a $40 MSRP, I think it'd be under less scrutiny.

I am pretty sure I lost around $5-$10 in tokens. I couldn't find anything remotely interesting at the end that I had enough tokens for. But I still think I came out way ahead. Really was a decent system for a while.

 
Crackdown's 3 long development time wasn't ever going to equal great, the game was basically rebooted at least twice and has had a slew of development teams thrown at it. It's on gamepass so reviews are going to mean nothing to me really. I'll check it out. If the first game's any indication it's probably a solid 7, B - tier game we don't get anymore. 

 
It could still go up early. They held off this date so it could be a surprise in the Nintendo Direct. Now that VII has a date I'd guess it will get a pre-order page.
I'm guessing X and XII will get store pages sooner since they are also retail releases.
Both FFX/X-2 and FFXII have had dates for a while and the disc versions even have pages up and microsoft.com (here and here). I think I might resort to pre-ordering the physical version and then returning it to a local MS store and getting that credit back.

I dunno what you should spend your credit on, but if you have a PS3, you might as well get FFX/X-2 there since it's only $2 at Gamestop in their current 4 for $10 promotion. It also has a very handy cross-save feature that lets you upload your save to Square's server so you can play the Vita and PS3 version interchangeably.
I have the games on PS2 and PS4 (not sure about PS3) so I can play them on a current gen console right now if I want to, but the excitement of there being an announcement for Xbox One combined with the ability to buy it Day One and put that promo money to good use (the only reason I'm OK with that price tag) is too much to not attack full throttle.

That does remind me though, I really need to find out where my Vita ran off to...

Cross-save also works with the PS4 version. This is the reason I got FFX on the PS4 (in addition to the cost difference). XII is newer and I was okay paying ~$40 for my preferred platform, but $50 for a port that is dirt cheap on PC, PS3, Vita, and PS4 is asking a lot.

Unless you really want to see Tidus laugh at the sky in 4k.
4K or no way!

Jump Force also getting pretty crappy reviews.
From the reviews it sounds like combat is fine and dandy it's just the presentation and it needing more polish being the biggest problem. Some of that can be patched at least, but it sounds like the story mode is just pure bad, especially with your create a character sticking out so much. That's enough for me to wait for it to go cheap.

On the plus side new Far Cry and Metro are getting good reviews.

 
Totally forgot that Anthem will go live for EA Access tomorrow. I’ll give it another shot and see is the full game is better. Wasn’t that impressed with the beta weekend I played. Have it preordered from the last minute GCU lock-ins I did and planned to cancel. We’ll see after a few days.
 
Where you here on the thread when Sea of Thieves came out? Boy, what a day that was :cold:
Had zero interest in Sea of Thieves so probably ignored most of it. Anymore I look at both fanboi camps like I do hardcore religious zealots and party driven politicos: they all do way more damage for all of us then any "good" they desperately believe they're doing. I have a friend IRL that likes to take potshots at me over my console choice and then doesn't get why I stop answering him for days at a time. I'm 42, I don't have a fraction of the patience I used to
 
Although I did not play the demo to anthem because I got hit with the infinite loading screen thrice I really want to buy this and maybe day 1.From what I say it plays like ME Andromeda the combat that is and that shit was smooth as butter.

Is anthem part of ea access? Or just another demo?
After the beta I just walked away and figured I’d wait for a few months to look at it again.

I decided to last minute pre-order Far Cry, looks good and the reviews are also good. At least what I’ve seen.
 
anyone else having trouble redeeming points for xbox gift cards on bing rewards?
Hot deal should switch in the next day or so, may want to hold out unless you're going for an anime sale item that ends tomorrow morning. Though it might be a little too soon for credit to cycle back around. Was credit mid-November, then Skype in mid-Dec and the casual games in mid-Jan? Might be Gold or Game Pass next, but you never know.

Good point Bloomy Thanks!

 
32 here. I can't remember when I started lurking, but I joined in 2012 to join a conversation. I do recall making a deal in the trade thread on the morning of my wedding later that year. I don't remember if I ever played the game, but the marriage has been a great deal.

 
I'm mostly a lurker in these parts but I'm gonna pipe up to say I've been here since 2014 and I will be 30 next Tuesday. RIP 20s. Love this place though. So much more friendly than the GameFAQS community I was used to.

 
Wait ... a Tetris battle royale? Ok, fuck waiting for a potential hardware iteration. Annual bonus comes in my next paycheck, it's time to Switch things up.
I've been waiting on the same rumored hardware revision but with every direct it gets a little hard to wait. At first it was mostly Wii U games I already have but portable but after yesterdays announcement of a Links Awakening remake I don't know if I can hold out for a hardware iteration that may never come.

 
There was a notice on the Microsoft account page about a potential refund.

I saw it on the Services and Subscriptions page - https://account.microsoft.com/services/

Which linked to this page - https://www.microsoft.com/subscriptionrefund

We identified a number of Microsoft accounts that are due a refund for overlapping subscriptions. This occurred if you purchased a new subscription that overlapped with one you already had.


Continue to check if your account is eligible for a refund.
There was a "check eligibility" link, but I wasn't eligible for anything.

 
Member since 2004 and turn 40 in a couple months D: Colecovision was my first console - my parents were into gaming when it came out.

I was right about Fortnite/Epic pulling out all the stops thanks to Apex. With the Valentine's Event you can earn the next BattlePass for free on top of the other free stuff.
I'm curious to see what the Apex Legends season pass is like. So far the loot boxes are pretty lacking and there's a very limited amount that you can earn in game at the moment. I would never spend money on boxes when there are so many trash filler items, but I would buy the battle pass if it offers some decent value. I've unlocked 1 character and will get the other after another dozen level ups or so. The free currency will be pretty much dried up after that.

I've got a $1 EA Access code saved that I will redeem in the near future. Being an EA Access member before June gives you $10 in Apex bucks and a couple cosmetics. There's also Twitch Prime pack coming that hopefully works for Xbox players. Supposed to include 5 boxes and a skin for Pathfinder.

Registered member since 2009. I feel like I lurked a bit before then though. Have posted a few deals, but most topic creators here are pros that catch everything way before I could.

I'll be 36 on the 20th. I have vague memories of watching my dad play Jaws on the 2600 from my playpen. And then we played Maze Craze together when I was older, lol, so I guess that was my first system. I have two daughters now, and the older one (almost three) loves Rock Band. I use her as an excuse to buy more games, ha ha.
 
14% cash back on movies, music, games (physical & digital), and apps purchased through the Microsoft Store via Ebates today only. Ebates cuts you a quarterly check through Paypal. I've used it for about a year and haven't had any problems.

I was going to post my referral link in my sig line as it earns me money and newcomers get $10 because I have seen others do it previously, but thought it better to get the deal out now and avoid controversy. Are referral links in sig lines allowed?

Thanks for the heads up! Adam and Eve is 14% back too, apparently. #valentinesday
 
There is a valentine's day REQ pack for Halo 5, you can claim it via the web if you can't be bothered to launch the game as well. 

related, is there a CAG spartan company that still has some active people in it? Wouldn't mind finding a few peeps to play ranked team arena with to augment my solo queueing.

Has anyone had a problem with the Xbox One kicking them out of games recently and asking “do you own this game?” Twice in the last week, I’ve been kicked out of a game I own digitally and asked that question. I was wondering anyone else was having the same issue .
