Quick question. 

I changed my GT last week when my first name became available. 

I'm now know as NIGEL. I've just been befriended by a Canadian with

the GT of Nigel. 

I didn't think this was possible?

i thought NIGEL, Nigel, N I G E L, N igel etc were the same thing?

You sure there isn't some skulduggery going on with a pipe character instead of a lower case L or something?

NO! End of an era!

 

You know, you can change your gamertag but you'll never retrospectively undo the nasty connotations of your original name. I've still got your number.

Sad days indeed. 

I fought off EA, but in the end Microsoft enforced a name change 'because it had my actual name in the gt, which is against the terms '. So here I am with NIGEL! Go figure!!

Also, bastion, I was a bit of a dick to you on this forum once or twice. I'd like to sincerely apologise for it.

There doesn't appear to be. If he hadn't made contact I'd be none the wiser. As I've said, when looking for other people with the same gt it all comes back to mine. Weird.

Deeply disappointed that you're no longer bignige.

Me too Robbo. I've been grande nige since the enforced name change, but changed it when NIGEL became available. 

The GT bignige has been nuked by Microsoft and although I did pester them many a time with emails nothing came of it. 

Interestingly there's an active bignige1 and I still have bignigeUSA as an alt gamertag that I should probably my log in with to see if it still works.

Sounds like a rule they enforce when it suits them, I've had my name in mine since 360 launch.

I've just had a search using SmartGlass.

 

It's an ell/eye font/case confusion.

 

If I search for "Nigel" (lower-case ell at the end), I get "NIGEL" (you).

 

If I search for "NigeI" (upper-case eye at the end), I get "NigeI" (Canadian guy).

Use Vypyr to connect to Vietnam, then buy from the Argie store. That worked for me :)

 

Trying to get Super Hot the Revo card way with VYPR VPN. Tried Russia, Brasil and the above and every time it says Try a different card method. :(

Raiden V is out £39.99 - but if you head to the RUS store it's a far more palatable £21.65

Slightly related but when I put my JP disc copy in last night it updated on the HDD to the Western version which was a bonus.

It was their way to excuse the enforced gamertag change when Nige pointed out that his old tag was his name, and not him being racist.

I believe this to be the case. 

Although, as I've said there are still some bignige gamertags still in use.

I just couldn't see that. 

Thanks Tez.

Just pre ordered Battlefield 1 from South Africa for just over £34 using South African credit.

 

http://www.prepaidgamer.com/xbox-live-gift-cards/

 

Buy the 600 and 200 cards for 790 South African using a UK debit / credit card as Revoult doesnt work  The codes appear instantly after payment.

 

Redeem them on your MS account after changing the region to South Africa.  You will need a South African address on your MS account to purchase the game, I used the Hilton Hotel in Durban.

The voice recognition on the kinect is awful, any way to improve it? Keep running the tuner? Even when people are quiet, it's properly hit and miss, and frequently has false positives. In a loud room (which my phone does much better with), it's useless.

Anyone still trying to use the revolut card with a foreign region? I just managed to use it again to purchase Overwatch from the Korean store. I had to go to account.microsoft.com first and deleted my revolut details from last time which were associated with an Argentinian address. Added it on that page with the Seoul Hilton address and used vypr vpm as recommended and it went through fine.

Did you try Singapore? That looks cheapest. Argentina is over £80 :lol:

I use digitalgamesprices.com 

 

Is there another comparison site? It was £34.88 on the Korean one, how much is Singapore?

 

In fact according to that site it's £38.72 in Singapore. I'm rubbish at flags.

 

If it helps, the countries are listed alphabetically when looking for the right flag. :)

Big pinch of salt time

Other speculation:

 

Quote

Goat Simulator 
The Crew 

 

360
Super Meat Boy 
Xcom: Enemy Unknown

 

If it's the latter then bollocks I own all of them bar Xcom which I guess is decent. I reckon both are wrong though.

You can tell it's real because it's out of focus and at an angle, because the brave operative who took the shot clearly only had fractions of a second to grab a photo before Microsoft's wetwork crew put a cap in his dome.

 

Is Lichdom: Battlemage: Origins the one that runs at about 3fps on the console versions?

Shame RDR was fake, I'll be buying that in the current sale then, ready for when it hits BC. :)

Good month though imo.  Been interested in trying The Crew for a while, SMB is great and you can't go wrong with XCOM.  Hopefully the Enemy Within expansion will work too.
