The Old XBOX Megathread

[King Ellis]

They've been around £30 recently. Newer iteration with new headphone jack and better shoulder buttons is £33 on Amazon at the moment.

[Regia]

I've just checked my PayPal and I have a charge from Microsoft for two things listed as 'not required'.Does anyone know what they could be?

[Regia]

The Rainbow Six:siege beta has been extended until October 4th, and I have a couple of spare codes if anyone would like one? Although they are currently useless since Xbox live is down.

[9 to 5]

I am still sad you went to the dark side Regia.

[King Ellis]

If you can do Terrorist Hunt in the beta then I would like one, please.

[Regia]

I am still sad you went to the dark side Regia.

i just continued on the path I was already on.

Picked up the Lunar White Xbox One Controller, as one of the shoulder buttons on my old controller had started to become less responsive.  Gamestop was offering $35 in credit if you traded an old controller towards the Lunar White, so that was slightly more than half the price knocked off right there.  Really liking it, the shoulders are sooo much more crisp and responsive, and its got a nice rubber grip on the back of the handles.

I have been loving my Lunar White. The grips are excellent.

Are there still people playing Destiny? I want some raid partners

[apsham]

I've been playing with a pack of four since Taken King came out - but our raid times are sporadic and pretty late even in our time zone so I don't think it'd work for you.

[Benji]

I thought Rise of the Tomb Raider was XBO timed exclusive, but apparently it's going to be on 360 as well. What's the point in getting a timed exclusive if you're not going to use it as part of motivation to buy your new console? :/

[Bobfoc]

I was surprised by that too. To their (partial) credit, they've only really been touting the Xbox One version at conferences and in the media, but I still would have thought that pushing it forward as an Xbox One exclusive would be a better strategy, especially with Sony's lack of exclusives towards the end of the year.

[apsham]

I wouldn't be surprised if the fact that it's going to be on the 360 wasn't touted all that much leading up to release.

[Cactus Drags]

Am I the only one who got excited for Halo? I was expecting a dedicated thread. 

[Kaney]

Yeah. Halo is shit.

[King Ellis]

Kaney's TroLLing experience still haunts him.

[apsham]

All my friends who play Halo are way, way out of my league and it kind of kills the experience for all of us so I didn't bother.

[apsham]

Annnnnd I bothered.

My friends reminded me of EB Games 10-day policy for my Onyx card so if I don't like it, I'll just put the money on Fallout 4 instead.

[Regia]

I've just picked up the new Halo, so once I've given it a bit of a playthrough I may be interested in playing some online or co-op.

[TKz]

I got an Xbox One, Master Chief Collection and Halo 5 and played through all of the Halo games for the first time this past two weeks.

They're pretty fun single player games! Fun story. Not sure I can stand the multiplayer. It's crazy that a longer time to die/kill results in MORE kill trading than the super quick deaths in something like CoD.

Halo 5 plays really god damn well, though. Maybe I only appreciate it so much because of going from each game in quick succession, but it feels real good to shoot things with the guns. Aim assist is ridiculous though, at times it seemed to just pull my crosshair across the screen, I'd suggest turning that off.
