When everyone downloaded Lost Odyssey, did it ask you to download it to your Xbox 360 or Xbox One? I traded in my 360 awhile ago, and I haven't had the opportunity to finally connect the Xbox One.

Also, the DI 2.0 and 3.0 starter sets are $11.99 at TRU and the playsets are $9.99. Skylander figures are B1G2 free(excludes Imaginators). Finally found a Buzzwing and picked up a couple of Swapforce swappables to give me three.

It doesn't ask. Typically it'll download on the home console, but if not, it'll show up in your "ready to install" tab under My Games and Apps.

I "bought" it on the One and it downloaded there. My 360 is still hooked up, but connectivity is erratic.

That is another good call. My wife and daughter played hours upon hours of Castle Crashers.

To clarify, this is for anyone in the Bing/Mirosoft rewards program that gives you points for doing things like searching on Bing's website or their app. 1000 points for $10 is a pretty darn good idea for anyone in the program, usually a $5 Xbox gift card is 3000 something points I think.

Basically, you should be able to redeem points for these codes and use them to buy Xbox credit from the Microsoft store (or towards another product, if you really want).

CAG thread - https://www.cheapassgamer.com/topic/...crosoft-store/

I redeemed 2500 points for $25 in free Xbox balance, which i'll likely use to buy the Forza 3 expansion. Yay! It's pretty awesome for anyone doing the rewards stuff. Hoping I can get a bit more out of this before it expires.

Thank you EinCB!

I just turned 3000 points in to 30 dollars of xbox credit. Normally without a special I couldn't even sniff a 5 dollar credit for that. It's like I just got 25+ dollars of free money. Thank you!

Thanks for the heads up everyone. I had just over 4000 points. Don't know how I earned them (probably for buying shit), never looked into redeeming them. If this was the best I was going to get, I'll take $40 of Xbox credit.
When do I have to use them? Can I just redeem them in the Microsoft Store for Xbox credit? I'm a little afraid to use them on an additional year of EA Access.

Thanks! I ended up with $80 worth of credit which let me get the deluxe version of Dead Rising 4 for free!

Thanks EinCB!
I managed to redeem 5 x $10 and 7 x $5 for a total of $85. Not bad at all.

The easiest thing is definitely just redeem them for credit. The Microsoft Store sells digital gift cards in any increment, so basically keep buying increments of $10 with the codes you got since you can only apply 1 promo code at a time.

Here's the digital credit item on the store - https://www.microsoftstore.com/store...ctID.289171900

Also, a reminder, you can also use your points to get a $5 Amazon gift card. One person actually paid off an entire video game for it. So when this deal is over, you can try shooting for that gift card.

I redeemed for 5 of the 10$ cards but haven't gotten an email. Then I did 2 of the 5$ cards and immediately got the codes.

Hopefully the other 50$ comes soon!

Gotta get some points for Overwatch boxes.

Before Xbox One Backward Compatibility team takes some time off for holidays, we have 6 new releases today. Releases resume after New Year

Skydive, Planets Under Attack and CLANNAD (Japan Only) are coming to Xbox One Backward Compatibility today http://mjr.mn/BackCompat

Bully Scholarship Ed., Catherine and Raskulls are coming to Xbox One Backward Compatibility today http://mjr.mn/BackCompat


Catherine and Bully seem like pretty nice releases. I never played Bully, might be something I grab next time it's on sale.

I really disliked Catherine. Everything around the game was fun (characters, cut scenes) but the actual gameplay I couldn't stand. Bully is probably my favorite Rockstar game.

Same here. I started playing it a couple months ago and gave up a couple hours in. One of my few unfinished games for the year.

I already own digital 360 copies of both Catherine and Bully. Guess this is good news for me.

I did $35 worth of credit (2 10's and 3 5's). I'm still waiting on the 2 10's but the 3 5's were redeemed for Xbox Live which I used most of it to purchase Bethesda Pinball. The other 2 10's might be turned around for Amazon credit (eyeing the Batman Asylum/City remaster). We'll see, thanks for the link...I had plenty of points since I do a lot of Bing searches for work (and for play).

I forget, is there usually an End Of The Year Sale in the Xbox Live Store?

I've got my eye on a couple games. But if they might be on sale in the next two weeks, I can wait.

Looks like the deal is dead now. MSFT wants to charge me 4650 points for the $5 off coupon.

I always miss out on the good stuff.
