Ok, so the difference in loading times isn't a big deal.

I'll just keep the cheap drive I got then. Thanks guys.

Can you back up the internal drive to the external? The external to your PC?

Back up internal to external = sort of. You can just change which drive the data goes on. So it's not really "backing up" to the external as much as it is just pointing to that drive instead of the internal.

Back up external to PC = I imagine you can do it with a program like Ghost or something similar. Any program that can do a bit-for-bit mirror of the entire drive... IF it can be seen by the PC, that is. It's a great question... I'm not sure if anyone has tried it yet.

Here's a guide on how to make an Xbox One formatted external USB drive viewable on a PC:

Thanks! I'm probably too lazy to actually get around to doing it; but in my mind I'm OCD about backing up all my downloadable content.

My Wife bought me an XBOX ONE Assassin's Creed Unity Bundle today for Christmas. I don't play those types of games so I'm thinking of selling them. Does anyone know how much I could get for these games?

I bought them off eBay for $32. That (or a couple of bucks above that) seemed to be the going rate when the BF bundle codes flooded the site.

Yep I got the two Assassins Creed codes for $40. That's about where they're at.

I mentioned before how idiotic the Store Recommendations were, but it really got driven home recently when I was browsing and saw "Because you played Volgarr". Hey Store, I played it once because it was free, loathed it as much as any game I've ever tried and immediately deleted it. I wouldn't use that game as a bellwether for my tastes in gaming. I may have had Salmonella food poisoning once when I was served an undercooked Thanksgiving turkey. Doesn't mean I'd enjoy getting Cholera.

You know, I actually kind of miss the game ads from the Xbox 360 interface. I don't keep up that well on upcoming games and that was a good way for me to know when new games were released.

I agree with that. I just get a claustrophobic feel with the Xbox One interface. It just seems much more limited and condensed, unlike the very wide-open feel of the 360 interface.

I have absolutely no intention of ever 100%'ing that game.

"Complete any world in less than 4 minutes"
Fuck that

"Complete any world without ever losing any equipment"
HAHAHAHAA. NO.

"Kill Fafnir before he reaches his Dragon form"
I don't even know WTF...

"Complete the game with 10 or less retries (deaths)"
You've got to be fucking kidding me.

Already answered, but I got $38 for mine on eBay two weeks ago.

EA Access is adding UFC to the vault on Dec 18th.
I enjoyed messing around with the other UFC games a bit, so this should be a good game to kill some time here and there.

Wow. Color me surprised.

Guess EA wants to pretend that NBA Live 14 never happened. Can't blame them

I knew we'd get UFC soon. EA Access is changing my buying habits for EA games completely. As in, unless it's Dragon Age, never buy an EA game.

#IDARB will be free with gold in Feb. Good for me, I wanted to check that game out but it doesn't look appealing enough for me to buy

I had no idea what the hell that was. Looked it up and it seems interesting.

95 people on TrueAchievements have completed it, so I have faith in you. You could be in the top 100!

I booted up Volgarr and played like 5 minutes of it before simply saying "nope" and deleting it.

Ugh.

And the same thing happens now. I get recommendations based on "Because you liked Volgarr..."
