I wish it would stop tracking being signed into the console as time in a game…even though you don’t log into the game.

Because my account is always signed in when my kids play Minecraft and Roblox is at the top, even though I’ve not signed into either and actually played them.

Seems like a pretty simple thing to fix.

Could have gone to local Discem/PnP/Clicks/Checkers.

They all have them and some even at better prices.

Or you can overboard like me and get a Nitecore

UMS4 4 Bay USB Battery Charger + USB Cable - NiteCore Flashlights South Africa

Granted I bought it for 18650's but works great on AA as well.

Indy is such good fun, having a blast with it. Some noticeable frame stutters occasionally, but nothing major. It feels like playing one of the movies, especially since Indy sounds exactly like Harrison Ford does.

Lots of exploration, lots of things to collect, but nothing feels forced on you. The locations are gorgeous. It feels like Uncharted meets Dishonored...

Plants Vs zombies garden warfare 2 was also free. Have no intention of playing it, but hey, it was free

Maybe it's still free if anyone is keen

Titanfall 2 was a great game. The end was a bit of a feels train. Definitely recommend it if someone is unsure. A touch dated in some aspects but still a top game

Didn't realise my sub expired. But I found the cheapest way to get GPU.

Requires VPN.

1. Register and get 3 x 12 months Core from CJS-CDkeys. Yes they're legit. The India code was cheapest for me, so I got that. Worked out to ~R490 each.
2. I used Paypal to check out just to be safe.
3. After you buy it, go to the Autokey section on their site to get the codes.
4. Switch on your VPN on your PC/phone and select India (or whichever country you chose)
5. Go to redeem.microsoft.com and enter your 3 codes to redeem them.
6. The usual process from here on your Xbox. Sign up for one month GPU and it converts at 2:1.

The important part is to redeem it on Microsoft's site via VPN for the country you bought the code for. Everything else stays the same.

R1,500 + R199 to upgrade for 19 months GPU...

mike am i missing something

its showing as 21 pounds +-R490 ?

and the notes below it says can be activated worldwide

if using VPN it works out cheaper or soemthing but i dont have VPN

Even if dated I recall that game hitting 60fps on previous gen and I think 120fps on s/x.

But such a great game, definitely recommend if you haven't played it.

Massive surprise to me the entire dynamic of how it worked as I only ever saw Titan Fall 1 multiplayer and wasn’t all that interested.

Excellent game.

Correct

Stable 60fps previous generation.

@SauRoNZA I think Tintanfall 1 suffered from Xbox One's exclusivity. The marketing of that game was way off.

New Rumor Says Xbox’s Next-Gen Console is a 2026 Release And Called ‘Xbox Prime’​

A new rumor has circulated online that the next-gen Xbox called ‘Xbox Prime’ is targeting a 2026 release date.

The news comes from X (formerly Twitter) account TheGhostOfHope, who has a history of posting primarily Call of Duty leaks. According to Hope, he says that he’s heard the next Xbox console “is still coming in 2026 and will be called Xbox Prime.”

He continues to say that it’s unclear if the console’s name is the codename or not and that Infinity Ward’s next Call of Duty title, presumably Modern Warfare 4, will be a Day 1 release.

Hope later continues that the Xbox next-gen release is “pretty much an open secret within the industry.”

If the rumor proves to be true, it could suggest that we could be hearing about the next generation Xbox sooner rather than later, possibly by the end of the year.

Well this generation has been a disappointment really. Sony releasing the same games over and over, Microsoft flopping games left and right. 2024 I barely touched my Series X
