Just one game for me this month then. Ho hum.

I'll definitely pick up Castlevania, never got round to grabbing it previously.

Uh, Inside, excellent. That will most definitely get played.

Will add Castlevania to the ever growing back log.

Inside is ace. I'm a bit annoyed as I'm currently ebaying the disc copy, so that'll drop the value a little.

I'll be buying a One X from a workmate in a week, where's the best place to pick up a Live Gold key?

So hey, I bought 3 years worth of Live from CDkeys, but I strawberry floated up and redeemed a free month after using the first code. Now I have a 12 month code that I can't redeem because it would amount to 37 months.

Would anyone be interested in buying the third 12 month code? Say for £30? It's an EU code, jsyk.

Why not keep hold of it and redeem it in few months time?

I've already bought a 6 month one instead, I'd have to wait like 7 months to redeem it. I'd sooner get the money back for now and cross the renewal bridge when I get to it.

Crap, i bought 2 x 12 months of Gold from CD keys a week ago (@£40 each). I'm maxed out also, but im sure someone will take that deal as its a good one.

False already took me up on it, but thanks anyway.

Argh, why can't I download SotN? It keeps asking me to add credit card details and then saying it's not valid. Inside downloaded no problem but SotN just shows "see price". It's almost like it thinks I'm not eligible for that gold game. I'm new to to the Xbox One gold interface. Any guidance? I really wanted to try this one.

Hmm not sure about adding the card details since surely it ought to have needed that for Inside as well, but I think I always see 'see price' when selecting the x360 game. It just takes me to another screen that then says its free.

It’s a bit archaic. Something to do with how it links into the old 360 store back-end, I think. Basically you have to “purchase” the game, even though the price will be £0.00. But for that, it requires you to have a valid payment method set up on your account. Not sure why it won’t accept your card details though. Have you tried doing it via Xbox.com?

Thanks for the replys. Yeah, I have tried on Xbox website. Seems to be US though. Maybe it thinks I have a us account? Don't think so though, as I upgraded to game pass ultimate with sterling. When I go to the change payment option (I already have my card in file) it's showing it as us details with Alabama as the state (ie the top selection) country is greyed out and I have no other payment options I can personally use.
Guess I will just have to give 360 games a miss. It's probably the only one I would want (waits for Deadly Premonition to drop next month).
Thank you both for replying so quick. I clearly have a me issue with this one.

Hey, you’re not giving up now. We demand that you get SotN.

Make sure you’re using the GB site: https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/


And check your region settings. This page details web and XB1 settings:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/hel ... -or-region

Hmmm, it's really not having it. It shows UK as my region, and on the UK store it shows the games as free on gold or £6.79, but when I click to purchase it, it links to the us site (I can see us in the web address) and shows a us country field filled in by default. If I just try and place order I get a page saying I have found a glitch and that they are working on it (or something like that).
Is it possibly my gold account is us and gamepass UK before I converted to ultimate? And why would that even matter? The games are available for free in both regions, and my game pass ultimate is definitely active

When you click to purchase and it says US in the address, have you tried manually changing it to GB?

I did not, no.
I have just found that if I go to my account through the bing mobile app and chose my account info, it is showing as us though. That is despite me doing what the Microsoft help page indicates is required and selecting the alternative country at the bottom of the web page. Anyway, I have changed that to UK and am restarting Xbox now....

Nope that didn't work. Have added PayPal to my payment options, but it always tries to redirect me to a us Xbox payment page (which will then not process). I really don't get it.

Have you tried the phone app? I had similar issues on console and web page, but I then tried the phone app and it worked fine.
