Xbox Series X | S

[HarryBizzle]

I can’t Li, despite the forum being everready to have this discussion, I really find it quite draining. 

[StephenM]

To be fair I did just go order some rechargeable batteries on Amazon so however Bezos made this thread happen is working.

I've plugged the hard drive I used to have in my One into my Series S. There's games on there that are Series enhanced. DO I now have to copy these to the internal drive, or can I play them in their original form from the external drive?

I think most Series enhanced need to go on the internal drive (maybe there's a list, or suck it and see). Also, be sure to move them, not copy. It'll dutifully patch both internal and external copies otherwise, I've made that mistake

 

(for everyone else) Total aside but this is the platform thread, so rehashing battery chat, pads, and other stuff seems appropriate. We're not expecting people to search 680 pages for recommendations on the play-and-charge versus which brand of NiMH AAs to use, are we? We should probably welcome folks new to the platform and have a bunch of handy info somewhere (admittedly, I haven't checked the OP to see if we do).

Lets hope the two sides of this debate dont end up meeting in public, we dont want any mukkers fighting and getting charged with battery…

Potential stupid question: I want to buy a (legit) code off eBay but it says to use a VPN to redeem it. Do I have to make a new account to redeem it through the VPN or can I use my regular Xbox account through the VPN?

No I did it with a Brazilian code maxed my gold using VPN then switched back and added the £1 gamepass deal no issues

No worries I did it via browser rather than console not sure if that makes any difference ?

What are you going to do with the offenders, charge them with something?

Assault and battery?

[Ninja Doctor]

Put them in the cells. Let’s get back to discussing double A games. 

[moosegrinder]

Right. So things have got odd. The guy on eBay wants me to send him a message via telegram or what's app to confirm my order as they "get a lot of fraudulent transactions". They've got 99.8% positive feedback which is why I bought it but this sounds dodgy as fuck. Is it?

[Hitcher]

Just use the HotUKDeals guy.

Code is out of stock everywhere and it's delisted on the Xbox store. Believe me, I wouldn't be going to this sort of nonsense if there were other options.

While the PS5 has Deathloop as exclusive, we have the exclusive deal on Eneloop. So there.

 Why do some games insist on you "signing in" again when you start a game? Surely if there are multiple accounts on one console you know to have selected yours when you go to play a game?

I'm sure I heard somebody saying this used to be part of the certification process or something. It is a bit odd for sure.

[TehStu]

I suppose if it's the console where the owner has to stay signed in, it's a reminder which profile you're on (and the ability to switch) if you forget and just launch a game.

I love this woman, great to see a different demographic on YouTube, and she clearly knows her shit.

Cheers, when I checked that a minute ago there was no Major outage just a problem with NBA 2K22. Oh well, not the end of the world but hope it gets sorted quickly.

Signed me out of my profile and won't let me back in. It's dead Jim.

[Transient Curse]

Quickly, someone start complaining about DRM and then someone else tell them about the home console setting. 

 

Then someone ask about cheap gamepass. 

[moosegrinder]

I've been playing Dead By Daylight for the last 2 hours with no bother...

[Kryptonian]

And the batteries are holding up ok?
