Using Smartglass, you can currently search the Store for "pinball FX" and get the brand new Walking Dead table for free. It's an error and won't last long.
thx for the head's up, on mine though it was "pinball fx2" mind you.

Super Time Force is free next month! Glad I waited

Monaco and Halo Reach on the 360. Not a bad month overall.

Also, with all of the love for You Don't Know Jack! on this forum, I'm surprised there hasn't been more talk about Fibbage. It was released last week, was made by the same people as YDJK, and even has Cookie Masterson as the game host. Priced at $6.99.

State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition for XB1 scheduled for a spring 2015 release. Includes both previous DLCs and some new content they're not talking about just yet. 1080p daggers.

I hope that State of Decay runs better than the 10fps it ran on the 360.

Don't buy this at this price. It's a really simple point and click sort of adventure game with some simplistic platforming. It's kind of funny and heavily influenced by Tim Schaeffer, obviously. Still it's kind of short and pretty same-y throughout. Wait for a sale or freebie.

_____________________________

FYI : If anyone else is feeling a little pang of regret for buying a disc copy of PvZ Garden Warfare prior to the EA Access launch, I'd like to point out that it's fetching $21 (or $22.40 with GCU) at Best Buy until tomorrow. You figure it HAS to be coming soon to The Vault since it, NBA LIVE 14 and NFS Rivals are kind of the only EA games that could go in there any time soon. If you can live without playing this game until then, then this trade-in is probably a smart way to go.

Like we don't have enough logos and crawlers on our screens! Anyone know how to get rid of this or am I going to need to not run my cable box through the xbox?

Seriously? I fired up my Xbox to see what you were talking about and I only get it when something like the OneGuide is on. Your post makes it seems like it's constantly on your screen as you watch TV and it absolutely isn't.

Ok. I just rebooted my xbox and now the logo is gone. Earlier no matter what the logo wouldn't go away.

Yeah it made it seem like you were really super pissed about a little quarter-sized change to your screen.

I would be with him. If the logo was always laid on my screen I would have been super annoyed.

Thankfully it sounds like this isn't the case.

Yeah, but again, it probably was a bug. That was fixed restarting the PC, I mean the Xbox.

Not that I would go back to plugging my cable box to my X1. For me it's fine, but I don't want to deal with my wife.

I like the new option they added to boot to TV, makes it easier for other family members not have to fumble around the dashboard.

Grabbed it and played for a bit. I'm glad I held of on purchasing, as my fears were instantly confirmed. One of the hardest games I have played in a long time. Seems like it's pretty good though, just really really really difficult.

Crazy game for sure, will take some time to get used to but loving it so far.

UPDATE: Once you get used to the main feature of the game, it gets to be a lot easier IMO. While I'm guessing I may never 1000 the game, I'll have
fun trying. Already beaten 4 of the time zones and cannot wait to play it again.

For anyone that cares, Warframe comes out this evening.

I remember checking it out on PS4 with a friend for a few minutes and it was extremely terrible. I'll give it another whirl on the Xbox, since you know, free.

Yeah, I only played for about 30 minutes, but man... very difficult. It's hard to wrap my head around the mechanics right now. If it gets easier with experience, as Schloob1 says, then I'll probably play through it but just on the first couple levels, I already wanted to throw my controller across the room.

I think I didn't get the concept. I was doing fine in the training, and then when the tutorial part came where you have to make copies of yourself to shoot down the column within ten seconds, it took me 4 or 5 tries, and I still don't know what exactly I did. As I started the first mission and died almost instantly I just went to dashboard and said I would give it a shot another time.

God I hope so. Then I can actually fix my setup rather than having the whole stupid console outside of my media cabinet.

It's amazing to me that Microsoft still doesn't get that not everyone has the same setup as the families in their commercials with gigantic living rooms free of furniture in front of the TV.

re: Xbox One: S $249 Now / X $499 November 7 2017

I've been thinking about it a lot. I mean... it's been almost a full year. I'm starting to think that the issue isn't the extension cord itself, but rather, the fact that maybe the Kinect won't work properly if it's facing a projector? Is this possible? In my setup, if I stand up, my head is just slightly below the height of the projector. Someone taller would be at the same height. Would this somehow affect the functionality of the device, having what amounts to a bright light facing directly at the cameras? I'm thinking it might...

Still, for those without projectors, but with media cabinets, an extension is still necessary... but if I'm right about the projector thing, then that could be why they're holding off on it entirely.

Maybe.

Still, I want an extension cable. Now.
