@WildConcept6 While it was never announced, I noticed the weekly movie sales had been reduced massively for at least a couple of months, we used to get multiple sales weekly recently we have been getting one sale with around 20-30 movies a week. I think in july the only sales were the Jurassic Park films, so something was going on but it's disappointing to see it shut completely.

@PartyMarty I'm UK and the movies are working okay as of now in the Films & TV app. Have you updated the app? As I had to do an update earlier, it's always a small update but takes forever to start downloading.

@NeoRatt Wow 14,000+ movies/Tv that is impressive! Have you watched them all? Apple is another option, I usually buy wherever is cheaper. I don't have a huge collection though. Usually prefer streaming services to watch movies and just purchase the ones I enjoy if I see them on sale. Think I may make a list of all digital movies I have from MS just in case one day this app closes... Hope it won't!

@Than64 The app still works, and movies still play I just tested it. I kinda regret not purchasing from Amazon or Apple etc instead though now.

@GuyinPA75 I saw a thread on reddit about it and probably 80% of the posters were defending the game and what she said 🤔 Like you said if it was the other way around the game would get destroyed and that part would probably get edited out....

@Reptilio I've heard mixed reviews on AW2 so decided to wait for a sale, but think I'm gonna skip it now 👍

@FraserG Sorry for off topic but did you go to either of the Wwe shows over the weekend? Seeing 2k23 advertised so much I really want to play it now lol

@NintendoByNature I just played Reverie on the switch at the start of the month, great game!

@Tothington91 Play on another account so it doesn't matter if you miss achievements?

@GunValkyria Yeah I have purchased many games from them It's usually cheaper to get games from other regions such as Argentina & Turkey you have to redeem them with vpn but the savings make it worth it!

@GunValkyria You can get games cheaper sometimes from sites like gamivo

@Fiendish-Beaver I find it really confusing too, I'm constantly pressing the wrong buttons... I think there is an option to reverse the AB buttons, but I found it just made it even more confusing for me lol because of muscle memory!

@frosty360 Lots of people https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftRewards/comments/12idlnw/xbox_weekly_streak_reset/

Ea because of the free trials, Ubi games are usually always on sale too

@OrfeasDourvas I get nervous too! Apparently Xbox insider program owners must avoid dev mode completely because of bricking the console.

Once I exited dev mode it deleted all my Xbox games on the internal ssd drive lol I stopped using dev mode for a long time after that... Do you have to pull the plug to reset your console when it freezes? Mine usually stalls for 30 seconds or so on the normal Xbox boot up screen once I have left dev mode and the console reboots. Another thing Dev mode unfortunately deletes screenshots and clears recently looked at items in the store which is annoying.

I have been use dev mode, while it's slower it's usually only takes 1-2 mins to go from retail mode to playing a game.

85.6% on Series S, with 1 TB, I have 67 games currently installed on my Xbox, plenty of games I can delete if needed. Very glad I got the extra storage within a year of getting the Xbox ( used reward points + cheap Eneba credit so didn't feel like it was a rip off ) otherwise I would be constantly deleting things

Hope the Tennis game will be good 🤞

@Jonnybekeww This is not free, but the 2000 and 500 cards they posted at the start of the month are!

@LostSock Hi, I'm similar to you, in my 30's and don't really know much about Harry Potter, although I did watch the first one last year and really enjoyed it! I decided to get the game the other day as found a great price. I just started the game today, played the first hour so far so good! It's quite nice to play a game without knowing what it is about and what to expect for a change lol.

I read the game is set in the 1800's which is before Harry Potter's time so I don't think you need knowledge of the films/books to fully enjoy it. Probably best to watch a walkthrough on youtube and see what you think?

I'm sure other games e.g AC Valhalla have had massive updates a lot of the time, like it re downloads the whole game.

Did Alan Wake American Nightmare before it leaves gamepass!

@Tharsman Yeah, it's a joke this wasn't 60fps too, but I didn't really notice it as much as I was expecting. I thought this wasn't going to look good at 30fps but for me it was fine. I did turn motion blur off from the beginning off which I have now read can help make it smoother?

Just finished the game on Series S took me 18 hours, I think it was fine with 30fps.

I dislike ultimate team. I used to enjoy the offline Fut modes when they had playing the leagues and cups v ai which was fun, but now it's all online or play ai against someones way over powered team. But I mainly play quick matches and career mode which don't require mtx. I can't really understand why anyone would spend huge amounts of money on fut, but don't really care how people spend their money... The free packs I get always suck, I would be annoyed to think I had actually paid for it lol. Shame Fifa doesn't do a daily login reward like Pes

Still undecided if I should buy tomorrow or wait... Played the trial very fun game, but the wrong fixtures in career mode for premier league teams is embarrassing. I'm not interested in the world cup schedule messes with the calendar excuse especially for a game costing £70... The best new thing I found is we can now edit player names in a created club, that is a great improvement

Anyone having the annoying controller disconnects since the update? Not had it for ages and suddenly after the update the battery life logo keeps changing and I just had a disconnect. Hope they fix this quick...

I bought it yesterday on Eneba for £26. I have played 4 hours so far. I'm enjoying it! Sure it has it's issues it's not 60fps, graphics are not great but it's fun imo. I wanted the game originally but was put off by poor reviews & the chance to save some money. But I'm glad I ignored the negativity & bought it. I have been clearing my backlog all year & am a little burnt out from it... So playing Saints Row is a nice break from that. Probably low expectations helped too.

I enjoyed the Ps3 AITD always regret trading it in lol.

@Dezzy70 What was your comment?

@armondo36 I loved the original top spin as well, great game, I found it had a steep learning curve but great fun once mastered, also made it easier to play top spin 3 & 4

@fabisputza007 I bought a 360 a few years ago just for top spin 2!

Hope it's true. Top Spin 3 + 4 are two of my favourite games ever. Top Spin game play is already perfect, imagine if they could add a creation mode like Ao tennis, what a game that could be!!

@everynowandben That's impressive 300 games completed in 2 years! I have completed 27 this year aiming to complete a game a week. It's nice to make progress clearing the backlog. Also doing the rarely buying games unless I really really want to play it.

I have many games unplayed, but this year I have made an effort to tackle my backlog and not keep buying more games just because they are cheap in a sale... I would like to get to a stage where my backlog is completed and I just play new games. But new games are so expensive so maybe it's better to keep a big backlog of old cheap unplayed games to play while waiting for the new expensive games to drop in price?

19/20 lol normally I get very low scores!

Sale has started!

I hope it starts a couple of days before Christmas, I always find it more exciting when it starts a few days before instead of 1 week before lol

@MattWithoutFear Look for an address on google, I think Alaska doesn't pay tax, use either a sports stadium or fast food restaurant address. See if that works.

Downloaded 14 so far, hope to try them all

I wish more demos were available, think I would buy more games if I could try the game first

@PhhhCough Thanks! Can you play jet set radio on series s?

@FraserG Thanks!

Do you have a list for other games available to purchase this way?

I got San Andreas on ps2 on release day. But never got into it. I got it again on ps4 got the platinum can't really remember much about it lol. I think Vice City is my favourite. Remember at school my friend was also playing VC at the same time so everyday we discussed how we beat the missions etc I think in the end we both completed the game the same day

Night mode is great! Can finally turn the light on the controller off!! Although it feels a bit strange using the controller with no light lol

Not a big fan of Fut. But enjoy offline modes. It will be interesting with quick resume to play both Fifa 21 & Fifa 22 at the same time and see how much different they really are.

I found the ai is attacking more which is great, I'm facing an average of 12-15 shots a game. Went back to Fifa 21 played a few games and was facing an average of 2 shots per game.

My only issue with career mode is difficulty. I started a career and lost my first two matches 4-2. Won my next two games 2-1 & 1-0. Lost next games 4-1 and 3-1. Then won the next 4 games comfortably and the games felt much easier. It felt like the difficulty went down does anyone else experience that?

Awesome looking forward to this!

I got the 1TB hard drive a few weeks ago. I used £120 of Microsoft rewards money ( which took 9 months to build up ) and bought two £50 gift card vouchers for £39 each . Paid £78 of "real money" for the expansion which I think was good value.

@Nightcrawler71 Yes
