Xbox One: Thread 06 - Discontinued Edition

[nonny]

Beauty thanks Nonny, EB.:-)

No worries. Even though I've got an Aussie account I always bought digital from Hong Kong or Singapore stores using gift cards from places like play-asia. The cost direct on the Aussie MS store is pretty steep same as the UK store.... So really it doesn't matter, both suck.

No underscore unless I've added the wrong ch33se.

thanks for the tip, looks like I might have to do my homework from now on to find the cheapest options!

Cost on Aussie MS Store digitally is usually $99.95 for a standard title like say Forza Horizon 4 where bricks and mortars stores there like JB Hifi will usually sell the disc version equivalent for $69 or $79.

So if you're 100% keen on staying digital take a peek at Hong Kong and Singapore. It's fairly simple to get credit and order from there, from memory I setup a fake address and just use gift cards. Remember to compare pricing though as the exchange rate has swung wildly recently so I believe Singapore might actually now be as costly as buying locally in Australia.

Use a store checker like this site just to compare on a per title basis:

This controller is way better than previous xbox pads; the d-pad is usable!!! Only thing I don't like is that the home button looks like it's a raised dome but isn't. Everything else is pretty cool.

The UI is still an utter calamity of design gone wrong but I'm getting used to it and actually like the way I can get to the store and gamepass just using the bumpers. Seriously though, it needs to be used as a shining example of how not to make a user interface. Unit is very quiet except in game menus, just like the PS4! What is it about game menus that makes the fans kick in!?

PUBG is free on Xbox at the mo. It’s still £25 on the store if you go in via the console but login to the Microsoft store from another device and it’s free.
