There's so much content, I can barely keep up! IMO, it's a good time to be an XBL Gold member.

It's not your typical kind of Spring cleaning - so, what've you been picking up around this time of year?

:)

 

that time of the year

No, I really hope they do. Maybe they will see it for the fraud of a holiday it is. It was started by a man that tortured women and should be in prison.

 

that time of the year

@Griffey, all holidays are "Made up" by man...

 

Dark Souls 2 should be available today I think.

 

DS2? I'll only be picking that up if it's free.

 

No you'll have to pay for it.

It's a bit cheaper than standard full retail launches though.

All those games, it's a wonder you find the time to post all those links to those indie games.

Maybe go for quality over quantity and you'll probably get a better response.

Oh who am I kidding.

The same trolls will dump on you because that's the only reason they come here.

(Though in their defence some of those games were really bad)

 

Anyway,, The GWG is quite good this month and I think the DS2 release for the U.S is the 7th, It was released here in Aus today. That fast and Furious DLC inspired me to buy the entire game, it's awesome tbh. Enjoy your download frenzy GG

 

Netflix came out to New Zealand and Australia last week. Voice Messaging is coming out this month on Xbox 1. Ori and the blind forest, Final Fantasy XV Demo, Final Fantasy Type 0 HD, Screamride, and Life is Strange came out within the past 35 days too. It's
good to be on a Gold subscription too. Without it, you wouldn't be able to Xbox Live Party Chat on Xbox 360 because Gold or Gold Trial is mandatory for Xbox Live Party Chat on Xbox 360. Unless you want to be Private Chat 1 switch Private Chat 2 switch Private
Chat 3.

Our household is changing Telco providers too from Spark NZ to Vodafone NZ. Were currently on 80GB slow ADSL speeds changing to Unlimited Cable Ultra Fibre 100 down 10 up. Switching over middle of this month. Most houses in NZ cant get VDSL, or Fibre until
2019 lol. Only Vodafone has Cable that's why were switching to them.

 

Wait! What!? You're calling 80GB slow? Either I don't understand my connection speeds, or you're a bit off the mark yourself, I think. I only get 6mbps down and would kill to have that speed (well, not really, but you get the idea)!

According to Wikipedia, 1gbps is = 1,000mbps!!! That would mean that your connection BEFORE your update blows anything I've ever even heard of out of the water! Using the transfer rate of yours vs. mine... I'm picking my jaw up off the floor!

Are you sure you're correct? Or am I just wrong here?

 

... No I meant we get only 80GB data per month, go over that and charged $1/additional GB for the remainder of the month, or speeds slowed down to dial up which is horrible. I went over our households monthly limit once last year. Was playing on a friends
Minecraft world on Xbox 360, and watching the chunks load at dial up speed it made me depressed.

We get on average 10.9mb/s down and struggle 0.9mb/s up a best.

And I'm a Youtuber it's really inconvenient for me to upload a 15 HD minute video which can easily take around 2 hours even with Arcsoft showbiz, or I could stick the video on the Youtube video upload site and wait 8 hours before there's even a chance of
it being on there. Vodafone has cable in NZ but the company is UK owned not NZ. My generation knows how many mb are in a gb. Even my mum doesn't quite get it. I hope the transition goes smoothly when we switch over middle of this month with Vodafone. Spark
and Vodafone are the biggest Telco companies in NZ. Spark/Chorus are NZ owned and own the copper twisted wires. But cable owned by Vodafone is capable of much faster speeds. Chorus and our government are rolling out NZ owned Fibre but it won't be installed
completely even in major cities here until 2019 and I am definitely not waiting that long.

 

I'm trying out 1gbps internet of virgin media at min it downloaded borderlands in less than 6 mins had to pick my jaw off floor should be hitting homes around 2017

 

literally there is only Ori and maybe at a push Hardline that is even worth downloading on that list (imo of course)... so yep.. still the slow period of the year as always

 

Oh, okay SSB - I was about to say... That means yours is just slightly better than mine (you have better DL speed, but the same UL speed). MY data limit is ~200-400GB/month; I'm entirely not sure. Either way, our ISP imposed it upon us without warning -
we didn't even used to have it, and now as a result, they're gouging us out of our money with it (and since they're the only ISP available in our area, it's them or no Internet at all).

Cheezy, that sounds awesome! I wish we had those kinds of speeds everywhere! As of now, I have heard about nothing of the sort anywhere near my area for the coming years. I'm worried I'll be left in the stone age until I can find the means to actually move.

It's already bad enough that I don't have a tablet or smartphone yet. I'm starting to turn into a dinosaur and am not happy about that. My 12-year old niece reminds me of how much I can't do without them every time she visits (uninentionally, of course).
I was the best at the PC stuff back in high school, but she can do all of the things I could before even hitting middle school - now that REALLY made my jaw hit the floor.

iBakez, a lot of what I have listed are for games that I already own that are coming out due to various season passes. I guess it's their way of "keeping you interested" during this slow time of the year.

 

Yop,March was amazing,never saw so much releases in previous years....Even if i only bought 3-4 games and DLCs.

 

Ori, NeverWinter, and Smite are the only new games on the list. The rest is apps, free games(like COL which you could've bought last year) 360 games and DLC. Yep still a pretty slow time of the year if you ask me. Also EA has absolutely nothing to do with
NBA 2K15. You have NBA Live which is terrible.
