Nah man my iPhone screen is too small to be watching anything other than a YouTube vid on it. Plus on my connection I can download a TV show in like 30 seconds and a 2-5GB movie in 5-10 mins or less.

Who would watch TV on a iPhone lol. I don't have all those inches of TV for no reason. My Android people use this app BubbleUp or something to stream through their Xbox. I just Airplay from my Ipad to my Apple TV. No wires, No downloading. I use to use Vuze to stream to my 360. Download from Yify in mp4 format and stream from my PC to the box. 

Having a local storage of saved movies and tv shows is extremely clutch with the internet goes down for what ever reason

Valid. I rarely have outages with Fios tho so I don't even care much to download. There was a few days once when Movie Box was down, it was torture.

If you've got a Galaxy all you have to do is tap the steam button when you're near an Xbox on the same wireless network. Was at my cousins house trying to watch GoT on my phone while they were on the Xbox. Pressed the button on my phone out of curiosity and it popped up on their TV. I * with them for like 30 minutes they had no idea what was going on

Just sold my 360 and games for $250
I was sad to see it go. Been an Xbox guy since day one (November 2001) and got the 360 in 2005 when it came out. So many good times were had on that 360. I even had an OG controller still

But now I'm fully invested in the X1 and I'm looking forward to some of the great games that are coming out. I've got Titanfall and it's cool. I'll also be copping Destiny, MCC, and maybe that new Tom Clancy game that's coming out. It looked dope at E3. Just miss me my NCAA game

As far as the Halo games go...

1. CE - The OG. Bungie nailed everything about this game from the get go.
2. Halo 3 - I loved 3's campaign (sans Cortana level) and the MP was on point
3. Reach - Campaign was cool, MP was cool
4. Halo 2 - Campaign was meh, but that XBL MP was piffery
5. Halo 4 - Not a big fan of the campaign (felt it strayed too much from core elements of story, music, gameplay), MP got old quick too with crappy maps
6l. Halo 3: ODST - Never really bought into this game and it never got much playing time out of me

Damn .

The only superbounce I remember how to do is the one on Zanzibar where you break the glass and crouch walk into it and then fall to the side.

And maybe the one on the dusty/sandy map (don't even remember the name ) in the back corner where you gotta press start and get out of it to see the texture/polygon of where to jump. Gonna have to hit up YouTube and pop in my old disk to practice .

I just found out about this.

 

[39478]

What would be the benefit of pre-ordering the Limited Edition of Destiny as opposed to the standard edition? All I'd really want is the expansion pass, which I could always get later.

What are you guys planning on doing?

 

[carver]

I'm just getting the 60 dollar one and buying the expansions as they come. I think you're saving 5 dollars buying it all now.. The expansions can come way later when I'm not eem playing the game anymore

Ki is doing a survey in prep of season 2

[blastercombo]

Filled it out

Season 2 is Turing out really meh so far

 

[clutch 713]

Anyone purchase EA Early Access through the beta that was sent out? I used my code, and thinking about buying so I can play Madden 15 early.

 

[stick]

I've just been downloading my games rather than going out and buying the disks since they need to be installed to the HDD anyway. What's it like downloading a game when it launches? Are the servers clogged/downloads slow? What time do they make them available for download?

I was hoping to just download Madden/Destiny/Advanced Warfare at midnight when they dropped. But if they take forever to download at launch I'll just go out and grab the physical disk.

i believe all those titles, with the exception of maybe Madden, will have the pre download option. You should be able to play right at midnight.

$ony offers pre-downloading I believe 3-4 days before a game releases.

m$ will be doing this anytime soon.

I've never downloaded a game on launch.

I believe it depends on your connection. If you have a good ISP, I think you should be good.

When the destiny beta dropped, some people had difficulties downloading it or their download was taking a while.

My download experience was relatively fast. For the ps4, ps3, and 360 beta.

Nice, thanks for the info guys.

Anyone hear of a Microsoft server error that freezes the screen/xbox/game when one if trying to play a game/app and the screen turns black?

I heard it was a product of a corrupted hard drive but when I called Gamestop to inquire about replacing my hard drive, the employee over the phone cuts me off and states that it is a Microsoft server problem...

Any one hear of this? Any help?
