Are you familiar with Van Helsing? It's a Diablo clone and quite a fun one. It's a few years old, but I'd assume they're updating it for the XO.

Not familiar with the game but maybe I'll check it out too with it being offered for free.

Didn't pick up anything this Black Friday since I already have enough to play for the rest of the year and then some, but I have a bunch of XBox credit and was thinking of getting Horizon 2 just to have a racing game. I really enjoyed the free Fast and Furious version - if i'm not a big car guy and just want to mess around, is the standard version @ $25 fine? I assume the other editions just basically include more cars?

Yes and yes. Great game, well worth picking up vanilla version.

Question : Every. Time my son wants to sign into his Xbox account (under the family Gold account) on my XO, he has to enter his own email password. Is there any way in the settings where he can just select his profile on my home XO and go ahead and log in the way I do (and the way he does on the 360)? Thanks.

Well worth it for $25. You'll have plenty of cars.

Yup,
I'm not a car guy by any stretch, but I spent a ridiculous amount of time in Horizon 2.
The Island add-on is pretty sweet too.

Settings: Sign-in, security... click on change my sign in settings at the bottom left. If that doesn't work, it should be somewhere, my kids sign in without a password on my home XO.

Almost. That's what I kept trying to do and without success. Then it occurred to me -- I had to log in as him and then change the preferences for sign in.

So what exactly would be a damn fine deal for a X1? Apparently I've been tasked to find a deal for my friends's xmas gift. I want an X1 too but I haven't really cared to get one yet. Or a PS4. Are we expecting them to go cheaper than $299 anytime soon?

$299 bundles are pretty standard and I doubt you'll see them much lower, so a fine deal would be anything lower like the deal TGM posted or look for any other included free stuff - extra games, a controller, XBox Live, whatever.

Nice deal. Is the game any good?

It shows up as $69.99 when I switch the region to Canada. I probably don't need another racing game right now anyway...

I haven't played it. Here's what a guy on CAG said:

game seems fine, i played the beta long ago and thought it sucked badly but they improved the visuals and no problems with online right now (it is a online only game though, like need for speed destiny etc). I mean its not going to blow anyone away, but its a lot of content for $20 and you won't see that price again for a year or two for all thats included.



Its REALLY fun if you have a friend to play with, since you can race each other and do challenges / missions together.

$20 is the right price for that game. And you get a lot of content in that package.

Not sure if it is still available, but the Microsoft Store(online and actual stores) had all the consoles $50 off like everyone else, but also included a free game and a $60 giftcard plus free shipping if buying online. The free games were limited to 3 or 4 choices, but better than most other BF deals since not many were still offering the free game as in previous weeks.

If buying online the $60 giftcard will be emailed by Dec. 14, in store you get it instantly plus receive an extra game(Project Spark).

I haven't been online today so this may be too late for you but I just picked up a X1 and EA sports game for $322 after tax. Target is giving a free EA sports game with X1, today they had a cartwheel (Target app) coupon for 15% off a system. They still had the X1 in store with the $50 discount from BF. I got the 1tb GoW holiday bundle for $349, minus 15% and NHL 16. They had it online with a free 3 month Live card. I have been waiting since I missed Gamestop's deal with a free game and controller a couple of weeks ago.

I got my Forza 6 controller last night. Looks damn sexy, and I love the grips on the back.

Just got my Halo 5 Guardians controller (the blue/silver one). Now I'm wondering what I'm missing by not having the grips.

re: Xbox One: S $249 Now / X $499 November 7 2017

Speaking of controllers, I pretty much hate the original Xbox One controller quite a bit. The bumpers are way too stiff, and the sticks are way too loose.

Now I hear they addressed the bumpers when they revised the controller and added the headphone jack, but as far as I know the sticks remain the same. I really want an Elite controller, mostly for PC use, but I wouldn't dream of dropping that kind of cash if the sticks still felt the same.

Can anyone tell me if they feel any different on the Elite, maybe with the shorter sticks installed?
