Brilliant stuff.

Lucas has a pre-pay card we got for him, that he gets pocket money put on, so he can buy games, comics, etc. Just tested with the Oregon address and got Q for £3.92 instead of £4.79

Not a huge saving there, but will be great come the sale.

I would suggest something similar for everyone. Get a pre-pay credit card and just top that up with funds and link it to the stores. It has the added bonus of being able to monitor the funds closely and only adding what you need to the card, thus protecting your bank account.

We use this: https://osper.com/as we get no charge for him having it.

Where did you get Russian gift cards from Snoop? That was the missing piece of the puzzle for me found a Russian guy claiming he'd buy them for people but didn't fancy trusting him blindly ;)

Get US credit from gametimezone.com

US works cheaper than Russian though.

Bought an Xbox One just now. Had a load of cash stashed away doing nothing, I miss Halo, and with Halo 5 coming I thought what the hell.

Can I get my old 360 gamertag back for this, or do I need to make a new one?

Just log in with your 360 account.

I wish I could go back and play it through again completely fresh. I've been humming the music for the last few days as well. I expected it to be good, but I didn't expect it to that good.

Nice one Ben :) Finally we can have a Halo co-op fest with Banjaxed :) what games did you get?

So far only Halo: MCC, but will probably get Sunset Overdrive at some point.

I was tempted to get Dark Souls 2 earlier as well, as Game had a buy one get one half price on their pre-owned, so I could have nabbed Sunset Overdrive and that, but thought I'd leave it for the time being as I'd just spent a load on the console itself.

Sunset Overdrive is quite stunning too. You might like Titanfall which is cheap as chips at the mo....

Guys, I think I might officially hate Halo online now. It works perfectly fine, but the problem is that almost everybody I have played online with is nothing short of a complete and utter prick. Constant team killing because you have a weapon they want; people driving off with the warthog on their own and getting it blown up; people not driving at all in the warthog because you got on the turret; your own team running you over because you've got the flag and they want it instead.

It's a goddamn bunch of pissy manchildren ruining a great set of games.

Add to that the net code is garbage if you want to play with people in other regions, it's always unplayable for the guy not hosting, even when it's co-op. Strange how I can play on West & East US servers on Battlefield 4 without any massive issues now, but I can't even play two player co-op on any Halo game with a friend in the States or in Japan.

I bloody hope Halo 5 doesn't have this same issue.

If you've got 90 minutes spare I'd recommend watching this IGN podcast which features a whole shed load of insightful information on the Xbox brand from day one. The podcast features the original creator Seamus Blackley, 360 head Peter Moore and the current head of Xbox Phil Spencer.

They cover everything from inside secrets to the RROD debacle to Peter Moore's take on industry espionage with faulty components. An amazing amount of varied content in this podcast.

Thanks for the headsup, this is a really good listen, definitely worth checking out.

Check out EA Access. Bargain at £20 a year

Does the collection have that mode where you hold the skull?

That was the best thing about Halo3 multiplayer imo.

Oddball. It's in there.

I'm back in the Xbox one gang. Could someone send me an invite to the preview club? Someone sent me one last year, but the message vanished after a short time. I'll try to accept this next one in a more timely fashion.
