Buy it used from GameStop, beat it in 30 mins, take it back.

So im not the only douche bag that does this????

NO!! When I was an assistant manager there, there were more than a few regulars that did this.

I'd say you're just a smart consumer.

 

[Ricky D]

I used to do that all the time when I was a kid, especially with b2g1 promos. I just couldnt afford to buy games all the time so this was how I got my fix. I dont buy used these days but thats mostly because I dont buy anything Im unsure of, if I buy it, 9 times out of 10 I know that Im going to like that game

 

[brutalkidalex]

Anybody play in the PARKS mode in NBA 2k14and is actually good...looking for some crews to run with i have another good player with me if needed. Really looking for a big man tho. but will play with any good layers as well

Also willing to team up with GOOD titainfall players specifically CTF and Piolit Hunter

Xbox One’s Next Wave of Features

We announced last month that we’ve invited select Xbox Live members to preview system updates early. Today we’re excited to share the next wave of Xbox One features that we will begin to roll out. These features will become available to members getting the early previews in the coming days and weeks and will be available to the full Xbox Live community in April:

- Game and app saves and updates. A game save progress bar will show you the status of your game saves. You will also be able to easily tell what games and apps are being updated or have been updated recently.

- Friends improvements. Notifications will be added to see when favorites and friends sign in to Xbox Live. This actually was one of the most frequently requested features from the first preview wave and we made it a priority to include it in the April update. Also, friends who are in multiplayer will be identified in the friends list. We’ll also add the ability to view friends’ most popular apps.

- Blu-ray 50 Hz video output support for content recorded at 50 Hz will resolve video playback issues some Xbox Live members in Europe are experiencing.

- Kinect voice and motion improvements will continue to fine tune the quality and reliability of Xbox One commands.

- Improved GameDVR video quality through compression algorithm improvements.

- Updates to Xbox One device management to address issues controlling TVs, set top boxes, and receivers that our customers have reported.

- New audio settings to tune how much volume is lowered when Kinect is used in communications.

We’re also extending invitations to more Xbox Live members in our current Xbox One markets. New invitees will be sent an Xbox Live message to register, so keep an eye out.

We value all of the feedback we are getting from you. We know external hard drive storage is still a big one and we’ve promised before it’s on our list – I assure you that it still is. We’ll continue regular updates to Xbox One.

But when you do a beta update, you won't be able to communicate with folks that don't have it, right?

That a scuf controller?

Just a custom paint job I did. I was actually looking at scuf's last night. Thinking about pulling the trigger, the next batch of them ship March 24th

 

[xsourdieselx]

@NCTwin I thought it would be straight cause the last update was about the party chat

Wow... great job on the paint from what i can see of it.

I want a scuf as well

but the price is a bit too high for me right now.

if you cop, basically every youtube commentator has a 5% off coupon code.... I was gonna use MIDNITE for mine.

 

[Ricky D]

Being nosey I went to take a look at these Scuf controllers. Why the hell they cost so much?

They're customized by hand, per order using OEM Xbox Controllers and I highly doubt they get any kind of reasonable discount from M$ since they're a small company.

Damn, they got some nice stuff but not $100 nice

 ill just wait for a new CW to drop

Well with scuf, you're not really paying for a CW... You're paying for a customized piece of gaming hardware.

They build back "paddles" (buttons) onto the the controller, they add trigger stops, they can modify the analog length, they put an entire new grip around the controller etc.

Its for hardcore FPS players, mostly those active in or are looking to get in the competitive scene use them.

The back paddles are there so you can do things in FPS like jump, drop shot, etc w/o taking your right thumb off the analog so you can aim while doing those things.

Not for your average player by any means

i doubt it will happen again. not all of the features listed below will be available in the first 1404 update. Some features will be enabled in 1404 updates that are rolled out later in the preview

I use kontrol freeks on all my controllers.

I LOVE them.

I have pretty big hands though so the raised analog sticks keep my hands at a more natural feeling state.

It did take me about a day to get used to them

Now if i take them off i feel lost.

Note - All my gaming friends hate them...

 

[the qbz]

Nah, but as soon as I started running Titanfall I've been having party chat issues. Nobody in the party can hear me at all, switched to a different game and the problem continues. Same thing happened to my brother after he got Titanfall too.
