I'm with you there. I've had to delete so much bloody stuff lately.
TBH if the console had come with a 1TB drive inside it it'd probably be borderline full now, mind. Games get through so much disk space these days, it's shocking. I'm sure I've removed about 8-10 games in recent months, each of which used around 40-50gb.

Will have to hold off on an external HDD though. It's a luxury rather than a necessity, as I probably won't want to replay any time soon (if at all) the stuff I've been uninstalling. Annoying that I'll have to go through the rigmarole if I do want to go back to one of them though.
Pretend I have a cool signature thing here.
I did, but the host site died and I can't be arsed to find an alternative right now...

I might have to pick up some cheap credit, and get Kinect Sports Rivals - maybe one or two others.

Sale is now live.
I've bought Kinect Sports Rivals (despite it's reported flaws, I'm sure you can't go wrong for £8.60), and Lords of the Fallen (£7.50).
Toying with getting Sniper Elite 3, too. I should probably try out Sniper Elite 2, first, to see if I like it, as it's currently free (GWG) on the 360.

I can't justify paying for the Telltale games I bought on the 360 again, even with a discount. I'll grab Game of Thrones after all the episodes have been released together at an inevitably discounted price. I'm not really interested in any of the other sale games either, but I have recently picked up The Escapists and Pier Solar. Have played a few hours of The Escapists and managed to escape from the first prison using a ridiculously easy method I can't believe I didn't try first. As Jman says, the game explains nothing so I was trying to think up some master Michael Scofield-esque plan when it wasn't necessary. Maybe it will be for the later prisons.

Not had a chance to really get into Pier Solar yet, but it's a 16-bit classic JRPG that reminds me a lot of the early FF games in terms of visual style. It sports turn-based combat which I don't mind too much (although I prefer real-time). Supposed to have around 40-50 hours of gameplay so I took a punt at £12 given that there's a distinct lack of decent JRPGs around at the moment.

I think you escaped the same way I did then lol... the third prison is where it starts to get tough because that method doesn't work.. I still haven't escaped yet.. 23 days in... I get so frustrated at getting chucked into solitary.. that if I've had a productive day in the prison, I don't dare try and escape and lose all my hard days work.. it takes so bloody long replaying each day, doing favours and collecting items you need.

I had my eye on Pier Solar for ages.. cant beat a decent 16bit RPG.. never downloaded it though, the reviews weren't very kind
 and not sure I would want to dedicate that amount of time to a game I might not like.

Haven't tried out either of those, yet, but it seems I was lucky to get Lords of the Fallen.
It was only in the sale for a couple of hours, then removed...

The developers have said that it's supposed to be in the sale, and they've no idea why it's been removed. Microsoft are saying it should never have been put in there in the first place, and was discounted accidentally.
Lots of very angry people now, of course.

TBH Microsoft would be best off reducing it, now. Nobody in their right mind is going to pay fifty quid for it at the moment, so selling tens of thousands of copies of a digital product at £7.50 must surely be better business than selling zero copies at £49.99 - and that's without factoring in the goodwill/badwill side of the equation.

So a few months after I got my Xbox One the disk drive started playing up. It'd occasionally not recognise when I put a disk in - irrespective of whether it was a game disk or a BD film, but at first it was usually okay if you ejected it and put it back in again.
Over the next few weeks it got worse and worse - until around Feb 2014 it was only recognising disks about one in ten times. At that point I got on to Microsoft Support, and they quickly sorted me out a replacement. (Sent me a new one, and asked me to send them the dodgy one a week later.) I think they extended my warranty at that point, or perhaps it was always up to Feb 2015 - I don't recall. Either way, it ran out a week or two ago.



This last week or so I've noticed my xbox sometimes isn't recognising disks when I put them in. Eject it and put it back in once or twice and you're usually okay.
This doesn't look good...  :-\




Edit - just found this:

Haven't tried it, but will have to give it a shot if the problem persists.

lol that's a bit nuts...

I've had this problem too.. most recently with my MCC disc... admittedly I haven't been swapping discs around a lot lately..probably around 3 or 4 times in a few months as I haven't bought many disc based games recently and tend to use the X360 for DVDs... so I haven't seen it for a while.. but a few months back it just would not read MCC at all... took about 10-15 attempts before it read it..

Will keep this in mind next time I see it lol  8)

Nice. I knew there had to be some reason I did those surveys.
Haven't actually played on the console in the about three weeks, mind.
Did serve as a reminder to download this month's free games, though. After clearing some space on the HDD yet again.

Love the fact that all the 360 games can now be downloaded to the X1 and played through backwards compatibility - therefore giving a potential 5 free games to any X1 owner each month.  Saying that, I already own Castlestorm and have owned Operation Flashpoint in the past...and Sacred 3 has got really bad reviews..  ;D

But the X1 titles are much better... not a massive fan of stealth games, but even I can see that Thief is a pretty good game to have on GWG.
