    Microsoft controlling when I can play my games.


    Isnt it just so nice that microsoft can just change settings on anything even to do things like restrict my access to my own games? they even know that they are doing it and dont care, because im sure it stops a few people from playing games for free. i have purchased two xbox's, have purchased dozens of games, I even pay for a subscription every year. they know i have two xbox's in my home that i have setup to share games. oh but they have some servirce issues? well there goes all access to anything I bought. its like I didnt even buy anything im just paying hundreds of dollars for each unit and upwards of 60 or 100$ per game just to permanently rent this useless **** box. I cant change settings to even have access to my games until they give me their service back. why is it that they can do this to us? how is it that the device in my loving room that ive spent hundreds maybe even a couple thousand dollars on is now un usable by me? in my mind this is criminal and should not be allowed.

    P.S. the starred out word was c ' r ' a ' p

    :)

    Wired versus Wireless Controllers/Headsets

    Hiya!

    Well, I've done both. When I started with my XBOX, I used the wired controllers and the basic Microsoft wired headset. That quickly got old and saved up and purchased wireless controllers and my Turtle Beach Stealth 600 wireless headset. I will never go
    back. For the wireless controllers, I use the Microsoft Plug and play kit/batteries so I can put my controller on the charging cable at night before I go to bed and its ready for me the next morning. Same for my headset. I get 10 hours battery life from my
    Turtle Beach headset so I have plenty of game time with it. But I usually only use my headset when Im playing multiplayer gaming when the mic is required and the rest of the time its using the television sound system. ;)

    Happy Gaming!!

    "I find the lack of your Elite Controller disturbing."

    It is pretty amazing how cynical some people can be about wired controllers.

    When I play games I sit in one spot until I am done playing games. A cord running along the floor doesn't bother me one bit. What in the world are you doing while playing games that makes having a wire such a nuisance?

    Another plus about my wired controllers is that they plug into my PC without the need of another $25 Microsoft 1st party device.

    No Play Button Available on Cloud Gaming On Any Device

    I can play games through the browser but my controller doesnt work when the game launches. I can press play on my phone with a broken un usable screen if i use a mouse. There is no play button on my note 20. No play button on my tv either.

    This is super frustrating. Why is there no way to contact Microsoft about this. I havent been able use this service i pay for for weeks now. With no option to contact the people who run the service. Absolutely insane.

    How to: Provide Feedback for Forums.Xbox.com

    To the creators of World of WarcraftI played this game when it first came available on the PC. Please bring it to the console so I

    can play it again. It's a really fun game to play but, the PC that I

    have can't handle the game anymore. Please make it available for

    console. It would make a reasonable profit for Microsoft. Thank you for

    listening to my plea.
    Wont happen with a controller. I played it many years ago, and even my friend now has said he has like 70 or something Keybinds. It's simply not made for a controller.
