Yup! It's in the EA Vault now.

I don't even like Halo 5 but that system design is REALLY nice. Maybe that will be the one I finally get, especially if there are bundles out there that might sweeten the pot a bit.

The funny thing I just noticed about that Halo 5 system, it comes with the Limited Edition version of Halo 5. And requires up to 60GB!

Might as well bundle them. It's not like anyone will be purchasing them at $100.

Dude, that is some of the worst punctuation I've ever seen in this forum.

Quick question about the backwards compatibility, for the 360 Arcade games that don't have a separate save file, are those just automatically backed up to the cloud? Or do I need to launch each game for them to sync to the cloud?

I don't have the preview program on my One and am preparing to wipe/sell my 360, but I want to make sure that I don't lose my Arcade games progress.

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure Arcade games let you choose between local or cloud, same as any other game. I know PvZ has been asking me to choose local or cloud every single time I load the game.

You can check which game saves or local, and move them to the cloud, by checking your storage in settings.

I think he's talking about the arcade games that don't have any separate save file at all. The game data and progress is saved as part of your profile. A lot of the older XBLA titles did this. I have no idea how that works with BC yet, though.

That's what I was referring to, yes. Thanks for clarifying for me MoviePage.

For the games that had separate save files, I've been able to upload them to storage. But a number of my saves seem to be built into the game data file itself, and those were the games I was trying to figure out.

Has anybody had experience with those games with regards to the BC?

I'm not sure how many currently Backwards Compatible games have this quirk, if any.

According to this link, the game Splosion Man doesn't have a separate save file:

Maybe that's why it didn't debut on BC yet, despite being an MS title?

I recall a fair number of games, especially the early ones, that saved directly into the profile. Mine got quite large (heh) and I played primarily on XBLA in the early days.

Starting Sunday, Best Buy will apparently be running a console/TV bundle deal to coincide with back-to-school shopping (tax-free weekend in a number of states): Xbox One Console + 40" Samsung LED for $500

So right now Amazon currently has 8 different XB1 bundles available. That is just nuts.

Oooh, that's damn sexy. $500 should get you a 2TB drive or the elite controller though.

:lol: I get that. A $60 game with $40 of digital fluff. Hell the Halo 4 360 at least came with two controllers.

Yeah would of been nice if it also included the MASTER CHIEF controller I posted above.

I bit on the Submerged deal. My kids were excited that it looked like "Uncharted without the shooting."

Having finished up Wolfenstein, could use a recommendation on what to play next. I have a bunch of games I can borrow from work, so here are the ones that I'm looking at. Any of them stand out as something I should definitely play?

Dying Light
Metro Redux
Murdered Soul Suspect
Need for Speed Rivals
Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare

re: Xbox One: S $249 Now / X $499 November 7 2017
 
Both Need for Speed and Plants vs Zombies are more "in between" games imo, you don't really need to dedicate a lot of time to either, and you pick em up and play them in spurts.

As such, I dunno, Dying Light..

chuckd21 08-10-15 01:35 PM

Murdered Soul Suspect is a decent palate cleanser after nazi murderin'. It's short, and apparently free to you.

fumanstan 08-10-15 01:42 PM

re: Xbox One: S $249 Now / X $499 November 7 2017
 
I was leaning towards Murdered Soul Suspect, the concept sounds interesting and the user reviews seem higher then the critics. Really just need to kill time for a bit before Gears of War Ultimate, although I also have Rare Replay to mess around with too.

chuckd21 08-10-15 01:48 PM

re: Xbox One: S $249 Now / X $499 November 7 2017
 
Oh if you have Rare Replay, by all means get to messing. That's good for bite sized chunks of video gaming.

In other news, EA says maybe/probably to 360 games coming to EA Access.

Speaking of what should be included for a half a grand, does it even come with a headset?
