Thank god. Crazy that filter's taken this long to turn up. Any idea when it's actually going to be released for everyone? I was hoping it was out today as my friend's xbox got it, but I guess she's in the preview program without realising :(

Oh lovely, my console won't start up. Maybe it's been updated and bricked. Time to pull some plugs.

EDIT: OK now. Not got the new update (at least, no XB1/360 filter), though Memberships has now appeared under Games & Apps. Fairly sure it wasn't there a couple of days ago.

Have they removed the "what to expect in the March Update" advert for anyone else? What're the chances it *doesn't* actually make March?

I'm loving how MS are integrating this new stuff into the UI and away from singular apps. The New one button UI has Broadcasting right there to start when you like, with Arena and join broadcast buttons coming as well as the achievement overlay for each game (again in the UI) it makes things very fast and very easy to use.

Also, Beam's streams have now synced up the sound perfectly, still no direct Youtube integration but you can download entire video to any PC and then upload I suppose.

I think it might be rolling out now. Which would also explain the ad disappearance.

Resident Evil Super Bundle Xbox One Game 60% Spotlight


Looks like they screwed up here. It's currently showing as £40, with no discount. I think that must be the already-discounted price, but it sounds like they initially put it up as £40 and applied the discount, so some lucky sods got the six games for £16 total.

And Xbox Live seems to be bollocksed right now.

Ha, really? I was umming and ahing at £16, just shows you how out of touch MS are with pricing these days.

To be fair, £40 isn't a bad price for what is included. If I didn't already have two of them, I'd consider it. I'll probably get the 4/5/6 pack for £20.

It's not that great really, those games are pretty old now and can be had on 360 for peanuts. Also if it's 60% off at £40, that makes the RRP £100. :lol:

Yeah, the supposed "full price" is ridiculous (it's a new bundle that's never been on sale at £100, as far as I can tell).

But RE and RE:0 remakes are both from the last two years, and usually cost £16 each. And RE6 is worth £40 on its own.

Kinda half wish I'd jumped at £16, but there's no way I'm going anywhere near the £40 mark. I'd probably never play them anyway, so I guess I've saved myself some money.

I had a text message from Microsoft on Monday afternoon to say my main account was vulnerable and I need to change my password. I also couldn't log in to outlook yesterday evening either. I wonder if that's related and they've been hacked and lost a bunch of people's details

Maybe, thinking on it I think the same thing happened last week because I couldn't log in to my Outlook/Hotmail accounts on my phone or PC and again, Gears 4 wouldn't boot on PC.
