Xbone - Game Questions

[Blazzok]

Well considering I have multiple platforms so there are days it doesn't get any love. But just about every single day I am switching it on for Netflix for the lightie, but the controller turns itself off again once done.

Well I have my PC as well, and I will spend most of my time on that, however what I have found with my Xbox360 controller that I use on my PC is that the batteries run down for no reason.
I know for certain I put fresh batteries in the 360 controller and played a little bit, then a month or 2 later when I wanted to use it again, no dice. Had to swap the batteries. Hope it is not the same case with the One controller, however in saying that the One controller will definitely get used more than the 360 one for my PC.

I'll just monitor the usage for now

Yeah, I use an Xbox One controller on PC as well. The benefit is it powers from USB so don't need batteries there, the downside is it's wired.

Here's a cheaper price for now: http://www.prepaidgamer.com/xbox-liv...ld-membership/ for R600. Will check tonight if I can get it cheaper for you somewhere else. I saw a special over the weekend but can't remember where.

I also looked around now, the cheapest I could find was Makro at R589, but that has to be delivered. The prepaid one is emailed to you.

Yeah unfortunately it looks like those are the cheapest ones. Even the cdkeys.com ones are more expensive now with the rand being so bad.

Thanks Soli

I see Raru has some specials going, with Live Gold 12m going for R744, which is R260 less than what I have found so far.

Is the play and charge kit worth it? From what I can see on the internet is that AA's will last about a week with moderate gaming, which is good I suppose but can become expensive, which makes me think the charge kit might be worth it.

R744?? Why not get Live Gold directly through ZA Xbox.com store for R590?


Second the vote for the Play and Charge kit. Will pay for itself soon enough imo.

When I click Join Now, it automatically takes me to the US store and makes it dollars :/

Edit: Scratch that, I managed to bamboozle the site

Ninjaed.

Was gonna say that I had same issue at first. Worked out that I had to manually add c/card info into my MS account before I could purchase - it asks something like "select payment method for purchases for South Africa". Glad you got it sorted though. Bamboozling works too

My CC was already added because I purchased Windows previously for cheap.

It swapped from en-ZA to en-US each time. I even tried to just manually change the URL from enUS to enZA, but no luck.
Luckily going to the bottom of the page and clicking English (United States) and then selecting South Africa fixed it.

For now I used a 3.5 mm to RCA cable that I had lying around to connect the TV's headphone audio jack to the amp, which works, but not ideal.

I'm not sure what you mean Beo. See below for what the TV has.

I'm connecting HDMI from Xbox One to TV and then with optic audio from TV to amp. Full 5.1 surround is working without any problems.

You will get normal dts/Dolby 5.1 but not get HD dts/Dolby.
