Yeah, the paid DLC is just car packs. There were two track add-ons (Long Beach and Nurburgring), but they were free title updates. The corresponding "booster packs" were just extra cars, so not essential content.

I think I recall the Top Gear pack being required for some achievements, but that's included in the GOTY edition, which is the one that's free on GWG.

Yeh I saw those too and was a bit confused. The way the xbox store lists items makes it even harder to work out what's going on :lol:

Sweet thanks. I'll not bother then and if I come to play it at least I have access to the tracks.

I'd wait and see if the car pass/vip is in the weeky sale; if so it will probably be knocked down quite a bit.

I think I saw the car pass down to £4 when I looked at the weekend

Grab that while you can, before it goes back up/disappears forever.

Done.

What about the VIP membership? Is that just the standard forza XP boost per race to level quicker? Is the grind like older game in Forza 5 or did they make it more play to win

If its cheap then get it for the 5 extra cars and the xp boost (i think).

Depending on your prior forza experience, the weekly forza rewards which you claim from the website should see you through. I get about 300k every week for each xbone game.

I don't think I've ever had the VIP membership so not sure what they have included historically. I should be okay with credits because as you say that forza rewards thing dishes them out like sweets (I probably have millions o credits ready for me in Forza 5 already :lol: ).

Wasn't sure if it boosted XP and the manufacturers? as I remember that being a real slog in F3 and F4.

All it says is "2x player reward acceleration". It was a ripoff at its original price but £2.40 at the moment is a decent price for a handful of good cars like the 787B, shelby cobra and ruf yellowbird as well as a quality of life improvement. The thing with the rewards is you have to manually claim them each week, so you might not have as much as you think.

I've decided I'm going to put Horizon 3 away and go back to that when the X is out. I still have Horizon 2, it's DLC and now Forza 5 to flip between until November :lol:

Going to be sick of Forza by then no doubt

Just posted this in the bargains thread too:

Probably won't get honoured but Argos selling the 1Tb Xbox One S Ltd Ed Minecraft themed console plus game for just £89.99 for pre-order(?) on 3 Oct

HUKD are all over this and loads of people saying they've checked out and been charged for it. As it's a pre-order I presume every chance it won't get honoured and you get refunded though.

Worth a punt?

Edit. Ignore. Product page link now broken by Argos

Unrelated post from previous one above.

How do digital purchases work on Xbox One? Let me explain. I already have an XB1 but am not a Live Gold member. I have bought a new XB1S for my lads for Xmas and have set it up ready with my XBL profile plus theirs as the 2 child accounts on it. It's all bundled away ready for December now.

However their console came with a digital download of FH3 which I have used and have downloaded to both my old and their new XB1's. My question is, can both consoles play the same digital game at the same time? Will either console need XBL Gold to play the game (even if they want to play offline 2 player mode - they don't play online yet)

They want (& will get) Fifa18 for Xmas but I don't know whether to pay the extra for the XBL version so I could play it occasionally on my console, or stick with the physical copy already preordered.

I'm familiar with how PS4 allows us to play the same game across 2 PS4s through the designation of a Primary PS4 and one having to be online. Is there something similar for XB1? I've read conflicting info via XB forums about which console to download on first and license transfers so would appreciate answer from people on here with practical experiences please. Thanks

Update: if I was to buy XBL Gold, can this be used on both consoles? My profile exists on both. Will only 1 console be able to play online at a time, or can both be online under a single Gold sub, either at the same time or separately? Does the fact that their profiles are shown as Child accounts and mine is the Parent account make any difference?

Also potentially interested in EA Access and wondering if that would work across both consoles from a single EA Access subscription?

Sorry for all the questions!

Read this King K,

I think 1 live sub is enough but it's complicated.

Doubt EA access will work on both tho.

You can only access your content if you are signed in or if the console is set to 'My Home Xbox'. The trick to have two consoles with access to all your games is keeping the account you WON'T be signing into as your home Xbox. This should allow you access on both machines, including EA Access and Games With Gold stuff.

On your Home Xbox you can have up to (I think) 10 Live accounts with one Gold sub, all with the ability to play online. Also the parental controls are excellent, you can set age ratings of games that each account can play, and limit online communication to just friends, or block it entirely. My lad is only 6 so he plays online with randoms but can't be contacted or hear any chat at all.

Thanks both. Some follow up questions if you don't mind....

1. How do I set a Home console please?
2. Do I need to buy Fifa on their console under my gamertag and then I can download it a 2nd time into my console?
3. Am I correct in thinking that if I don't get Gold then I won't be able to.play Fifa on my console even in offline.

Were not fussed about gaming online with random. Its only local multiplayer stuff for now.

Appreciate your clarification if you can pls..thx
