Pretty sure they introduced automatic digital refunds didn't they? Did that ever leave preview?


Not sure, I;ve never spotted an option and had to go via chat.


It's on the main xbox.com website, you have to go onto your purchase history. As long as you fit certain criteria (played for less than two hours, bought less than a week ago, played at least once) then the option to claim a refund should be there. I have nothing to test it with currently, but it definitely was an option at some point.

Ahh ok, I must have missed it maybe, when I have done it I have gone to the webchat and got a person there to do it :D

Yeah, it was definitely being trialled but I can’t see the option any more. Would make it much easier if I could just click a button and get a refund!

Will try with the webchat guys when I get home, thanks guys!

I got my Mass Effect Andromeda pre-order refunded when the reviews went up showing what a horror show it was via xbox.com chat window.

Incredible bargain here:

Curve Digital's just-released "Gimme 5" bundle, which includes:
Human Fall Flat
Manual Samuel
Dear Esther
The Flame in the Flood
Serial Cleaner


I've got four of them, and they're mostly brilliant.

The bundle price is £59.99, which is steep, but it's on sale for 2 weeks for just £18.

Loves us all since 2008

I've always hated the X1 dashboard, but yes that update is MUCH better. It's so much cleaner and the ability to fine tune is great. I no longer feel like I'm being bombarded with stuff I'm not interested in and having instant access to my games, both recently played and pinned, the moment I start up the console is very welcome.

I like the fact that the original bundle price is more than the cost of the individual games added up. Stuff like this should be against the law.

First month for a while that I have heard of all of the games and don't own any of them.

Moggy approves of the lineup.

Edit:

Actually I just remembered I own Tales from the Borderlands on PS+.

Moggy disapproves of the lineup.

I bought Tales from the Borderlands from Game for a fiver, played it and traded it in for £8. Great game.

In fact I own Nights as well, and I'm still pretty happy.

Trackmania Turbo is worth a shot for free, it has a great visual style and is a lot of fun. Got the rest except Nights which I'll at least try.

I think I already have that borderlands game for free, wasnt it accidentally put up at one point? I’m sure of it

There’s no point buying Telltale Games, always part of gold :lol:

Same here. I have Tales, but not the rest of the games. I love a point and click, but never get through the Telltale games as they are very long.

Really? You're looking at 8-10 hours max. That's pretty short by today's standards.

Yet my patience for non-skippable cutscenes is even shorter than today's standard. Generation Y have nothing on this Generation Xer brought up on Sherbet Dibdabs.

Bought an Xbox mag last night that had an X pullout.

I'd not thought before how much space 4k updates/games would take. My Seagate 2TB drive was already about 75% full so I've ordered one of these bad boys.

If you don’t like cutscenes then you should absolutely stay away from Telltale games, that’s basically all they are. :lol:
