Is it normal for order not to be in your order history on the Focus Entertainment store? I ordered the Atomic Heart LE yesterday and got the order confirmation, but nothing is listed in my order history. For those who placed an order can you check?

That is what mine did.

Since when do Verizon customers care about saving money.

Did the hogwarts legacy controller get restocked or something? I see a bunch of them all of a sudden on Mercari

Today was the release date.  I don't know about any new stock.

Ok so I have an external hard drive with some xbox one games on it. I plugged it into my Series S and it is reading borderlands 3 as a Series game which makes it not possible to play from my hardrive. Is there anyway to download the non upgraded version of a game? Smart delivery is great but I don't always want to automatically uprez the game

The load times are horrendous for the non series enhanced version of Borderlands 3. In this case it makes sense to upgrade for the improvements you are going to get. It's a bummer you have no choice though.

I think very early on when the console released you could refuse the upgrade and play the x1 version.  They fixed that pretty quickly though.  You have to upgrade.  There is a small selection of games that will work off a slower drive after being upgraded.  This is from an old reddit post I saved.  There might be newer upgrades that work, but I don't know of an updated list.

Playable on ALL DRIVES (HDD and third party SSD may have slower load times):

• ARK Survival Evolved

• Desperados 3

• Halo MCC

• Mass Effect: Legendary Edition

• Minecraft Dungeons

• Ori and the Will of the Wisps

• Rocket League

• Sea of Thieves

• State of Decay 2

• Star Wars: Squadrons

• The Division 2

• Warhammer: Vermintide 2

• We Happy Few

• Zombie Army 4

Hogwarts save says it took me 56 hours to get 100% in.   A pretty enjoyable game.  The story is so wholesome that the 2 or 3 dark moments feel like they don't belong. 

When is Best Buy going to get preorders for VR2??

You can't pre-order something that's already released silly :p

Did they say it’s not a new map?

The trailer really looked like the Mexico map, but it does seem to be a new area. My bad.

"Forza Horizon 5: Rally Adventure launches on March 29th and will take players to new area called Sierra Nueva and features a new career mode, ten new cars, and more."

If anyone is working on the weekly challenges in Flight Simulator, there is a new beta update out today.  It should get you 10% on console/cloud and 10% on PC.  It was my last 20% and finally done!  

I've seen posts saying at the Atomic Heart LE has a dealyed art book and it won't ship on time.  I just got an email saying my art book has shipped.  It looks to be in 3 parts.

Best Buy shows Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon on the pre-order bonus page, but no bonus.  I wonder if they are getting ready to add the steelbook?

Zelda CE confirmed

Gimmie!

It looks like WB packaged Hogwarts really well and Best Buy took one of the two in the box out and added bubbles for my packaging.

I couldn't cancel gamestop, so I'll have to return it in person this weekend or next, but it had 2 foam pads also.

Do y'all remember the days of physical goodies for pre-ordering stuff? My first and best pre-order was Wind Waker and getting the Ocarina of Time / Master Quest bonus game. Goddamn that was such a nice bonus. Those were the days...

 

If it's funded by Microsoft Rewards and you don't intend on using that balance towards hardware, then go for it! Personally, I would save up for a rainy day and just go crazy during a big summer or end of year sale. My backlog is huge anyway. If you're the type of person who needs to discuss the trending/hot games, then please proceed, governor. 

 

If you have a good gaming PC, something I would do is to buy on Steam to take advantage of their refund policy. Just as insurance in case you don't like it. I know Xbox has a similar refund policy except they don't explicitly state the max number of hours you can play before your refund is automatically denied.

I've got the happy face keychain from Battlefield Bad Company still and several other things.  I remember a shirt and demo disc for the Turok reboot people didn't like but I thought was fun.

It would be a Microsoft Rewards funded purchase, so nothing out of pocket. Pre-order to get worthless cosmetic stuff, but the FOMO starts to hit.

Gotta get the chicken hawk mount!  At least any unlocked gear transmutes.  You MIGHT want to wear something from pre-order the whole game.

PlayStation timed exclusive Forspoken getting pretty meh reviews, including a 6 in IGN and 5 from GameSpot. Xbox not missing much on this one. Demo didn’t do it for me.

Sounds like I'll be keeping the steelbook and returning the game.  IMO it always looked like a pretty tech demo with a story slapped on for retail.
