Did I say it was fixed? I lose tiles/pins intermittently. Sometimes upon boot they're there, sometimes not. It's only really an issue when we've powered up via the media remote to stream stuff, because triggers+Y isn't possible on that thing.

I must be being a dum-dum, but how do I get Deux Ex: HR onto my XB1? It's free this month on Games-with-Gold, right? When I click on the tile or click 'Play on Xbone' on Smartglass, I get a screen about the game that says 'bundle only' in place of the 'purchase' button. Then when I press that it says nothing found.

DE:HR is free at the moment, right?

I used a browser

[Yoshimax]

They haven't integrated 360 games with the XB1 store yet so you have to use the browser and Xbox.com - I thought they made it so you went into the GWG tile then it would launch the Edge browser on the page for you?

[Mr Delabee]

If you change your Xbox One console region, in the settings to Hong Kong, restart and search for The Division on the store, beta should be free to download now. 25.8gb.

[HarryBizzle]

Also available via the marketplace website after changing region. Thanks for that.

[Revival]

Here's a direct link to the Singapore store Division beta:

[HarryBizzle]

Do you still need a code with that or do we not know yet?

[Revival]

The code normally grants you access to the download so it should work*

*maybe

[Kryptonian]

Is it live now though or do the servers need the batteries putting in?

"My 17 year old son "accidentally" spent $8000 on Fifa in one month. Games consoles are the devil's work."

[The Mighty Ash]

Far Cry 4 is £9.60 on the Xbox marketplace or £15.84 with the dlc

[Hitcher]

"'He's just as sick as I am, [because] he never believed he was being charged for every transaction, or every time he went into the game."

What now?

[MikeF]

The Division beta is now live on the UK store

[T Pot]

Says coming soon for me.

[Yoshimax]

Me too. Is this just available to everyone then? People have been buying keys from eBay ????

[jonnyalpha]

That Fifa story is bollocks isn't it? I can't see how there is enough content to add up to that charge but I don't play Fifa so am I just wrong?

[Chooch]

Youre wrong. Within Ultimate Team you can purchase trading card type things. Unlimited is the amount you can spend. The odds of getting a Ronaldo/Messi in these cards is like 1 in 400,000 or something silly, but people keep buying with the hope of packing an awesome player.

[jonnyalpha]

Wow, that's terrible. I had no idea that any dlc could get that expensive.

[SqueakyG]

My Xbox Live connection problems seem to be caused by my router getting knocked out. Everything starts okay... everything on the XB1 dashboard loads up, I'm connected fine with an open NAT and everything. But as soon as something starts downloading or really using the connection, it times out, then I'm disconnected.

Then I notice that the router is knocked out - no wifi device can find it. However only the wifi is knocked out - things wired into the router with eithernet cables are still using the internet fine. Resetting the router brings back the wifi... but then the XB1 is likely to just knock it out again.

Then again, some days it's fine and the problem doesn't happen.

I have no knowledge of router stuff at all, so I don't know what to think.

That's kind of like saying "Wow, I never knew toilet duck could be that expensive. I've bought 73,000 bottles and now we have to sell the house..."

Ultimate team is designed to coerce you into buying packs. I don't think EA are aiming to have people spend 8 grand a pop though. My housemates have been playing it for years and haven't spent a penny, for example.

[jonnyalpha]

I've never played this game or ultimate team so I had no idea and I still think it's terrible that the service has been set up to allow this type of overspend. If your mobile is stolen and the bill starts ramping up people expect the mobile company to spot it and step in to stop it. Why is this different?

[Boozy The Clown]

His xbox / credit card wasn't stolen though. MS refunded the transactions even though they were technically a third party in this and the credit card company or EA should be the ones with policies in place to prevent stupid people being stupid.
