I love the fact you can download XB1 games from the market place, however they're just too expensive. Unless it's an impulse buy or you simply cannot wait for someone like shopto to delivery next day I just don't see the point?

£49.99 for Forza which can be bought for £42 online, it's the same with all the games on there, they should really be more competitive. I'd download Forza now if it was a better price.
MS basically said they can't do them any cheaper as the retailers would go mental, and thats where a lot of their money comes from, as they make much more margin selling direct by download as theres then no wholesale price or manufacture of disk and box and shipping costs. the wholesale cost of a game to a retailer is probably in the region of £30, so if they are selling at 50 they are making more profit and they could even sell it for 40 and make more profit than they do through retail, but as said, the retailers would play their face.

We had this discussion tonight with a few mates. Its a great idea of going disk less but the fact it costs more, not loads more, but it would all add up with the amount of games you buy its not really worth it.

well at the moment you can still get deals on ms points so you could probably get the £49.99 for nearer £45 and if you get them to email the code you can start downloading not long after

Looking for a new game, finished need for speed so want to trade it in, unless anyone wants to buy it off me.

What games do people recommend, is DR any good.

Other half got me lego marvel for chrimbo. I'm really enjoying it, but then I'm a fan of all the previous lego games as well as marvel so probably a bit biased. Good fun flying around NYC as ironman or swinging about as spidey etc

Played them demo of that on the 360. Was brilliant fun and a good co-op game.

Even my missus likes it.

I've just completed the Lego Marvel game and really enjoyed it. Just a few of the flying quests that majorly pi$$ed me off but, apart from that, it was good. Even my folks and better half didn't mind as I played it over Christmas... :eek: Hulk Smash!

I had a two player jet ski race on the kinnect sports demo with my son. I'm actually impressed with how well it works! Clever stuff TBH.

I downloaded Ryse Son of Rome last week, played it for many hour over the weekend, completed story mode. One of the best games I've played in a while.

I bought an XB1 yesterday and I'm having some trouble with FIFA.

Apoogies if it's been mentioned already but every time a game on my career ends I get booted back to the home screen and it doesn't save. I've just spent an hour in the transfer window, played my first game and then I got booted back to the home screen and none of it has saved, which is weird as when I initially load the game it says auto save is enabled.

Is is this an issue across the board and can I do anything to try and rectify it?

This started happening to me last night :(

Started a career with City, Bought Diego Costa & MAts Hummels, beat Seville in my first friendly, and it goes back to the XBO Home screen :S

I don't know what to do as I don't want to play another game for it to happen again, it seems like I'm never going to progress past the first game.

On the plus side, I managed to get Hummels for 2mil cheaper the second time round!

I've also been playing online with my free 2 week live code, but a day after redeeming the code it says my profile doesn't have the correct permissions to access the online features. It's seeming like a waste of money ATM.

Is yours the disc geez, or is the the day one edition download? Mines the latter

4 attempts and its done it to me each time.

Didnt even bother with Transfers the last time!

I've just searched the internet and found a way to fix it, this is from an EA representative:


Go to the home screen, go to the practice tile, use the RS and scroll to change practice player. Change the practice player and somehow it sorts it out.


A very weird way but it worked for me :D

Ryse is surprisingly good... reviews were a bit 'meh' but I enjoyed it. As said, it's not long-lived but worth a punt I reckon.

I also enjoyed Lego Marvel Super Heroes :eek: and currently starting out with Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag. It seems pretty good.

Good game to begin with, but did you not find it gets a bit samey? The combat is just so dull after a while, too few moves and the enemies all seem to be mostly the same.

Cheers Joe, lookslike a decent buy that.

For me personally it works out better to buy separate as im not a fan of battlefield or Alan partridge.

Thanks though.
