  1. So disappointed....


    I have Xbox Gold.When I tried to download the free games for gold it said I needed a credit card.My sister bought me a prepaid Xbox card.It still said I needed a credit card.Since I don't have one my sister tried to use her bank card.It won't accept it.She
    called and the guy told her as long as she put the info in right it would accept it.She's tried several times and even checked with the bank.It still won't accept her card.So now I have a gold membership that the days are going by on and I can't download nothing.My
    sister said she would highly discourage anyone from buying Xbox live membership and I agree with her.As much money Xbox charges for the membership and not everyone can use it apparently...they're ripping people off.

  2. Disappointed

    the reason it is so hackable is that the MW games have been based on the COD 3 multiplayer engine and as such is not easy to update or stop hacking.

    world at war and black ops are better in this regard as the multiplayer engine is different and more up to date.

    Disappointed

    To be honest, I'm suprised Microsoft doesn't have some level of involvement to ensure games remain unhacked or at least patched for any big scale violations. It's on their platform after all.

    So disappointed....

    download the games on your xbox not the pc , when I get them on the pc and they download on the xbox when you turn it on I get asked for my CC on xbox it doesn't ask. I don't know if this is what you do so I just thought I'd mention it.

  5. SinkingElf310 hey there So disappointed.... :)



    I am going to move your thread over to the Xbox Support Forums to ensure you are in the right place to get the support that you need. If it is strictly billing related info such as adding a credit card, the best way forward would be to contact support directly
    on the link below



    Contact Xbox Support



    I hope this helps.

    Many thanks,

  6. To be able to purchase any free games, you need to have a credit card on file. It wont allow you to purchase any free content even if you have currency on the profile. You can try getting a prepaid debit card from like walmart or something like that because
    that will allow you to purchase free content and it shouldn't matter how much money is on the card as the content is free

  9. If you use your console to make the purchase, you will not need to have a CC on file. This only happens when using the website. Do it from the console and you should be fine.

    The only people who come on here complaining seem to be people who had grandiose ideas as to how this system should be straight out of the box. The ones who had more practical views on the system prior to launch all seem to be fairly content in their purchase.
    I had a 360 from day one and I can state with no hesitation that from day one to the final day the system made numerous leaps forward, not just steps but leaps. We are a whole 4 days into this systems life, if nothing has changed in 4 years alright go ahead
    and gripe but for now shut the hell up and enjoy the best system out there. If you truly don't think the One is miles ahead of the PS4 then I feel sorry for you because if you were to open your eyes and take off your blinders you would see just how great
    it is. Yes there are flaws but nothing that should keep you from enjoying the system.

    Do you own a PS4?



    I have both systems and the UI on the PS4 is much better than the Xbox One's. I find it hard to believe that someone who owned both systems and has navigated both UI's would make that statement.



    I firmly believe Microsoft will get their act together and make improvements but to say that they are "miles ahead" of the PS4 is laughable.





    [/quote]

    I don't own both but I've had over 15 hours of gameplay on each and the PS4 is honestly a $400 upgrade that isn't even that great. Comparing games side by side the one looks better on all of them. PS4 UI isn't anywhere near as good as the One or even the
    360. the one operates much cooler, heat wise, and quieter. There is nothing on the PS4 that is better than the One. to each his own but I'm glad I stuck with the One, Sony is garbage anyway rather pay an American company my money.

    So you don't own both (which is what I figured) and your last sentence shows your bias.



    This "fan boy" mentality drives me nuts. Defending a UI that is obviously a step backwards ( no storage management, battery power, friends notifications, and just messy in general ) and stating the PS4 UI which is a giant leap forward from the PS3 isn't
    as good.is ridiculous. It's clean, it's fast and it's extremely easy to navigate.



    Both consoles are extremely quiet ( I can't tell a difference ) and as far as the games go I'm seeing more frame rate issues on the One than on the PS4.



    I want to see the One improve and I believe Microsoft will do so but I'll also give credit where it's due....Sony did an outstanding job with the PS4.

    [/quote]Wow, hate sony much? I cant help but disregard your statements made about the PS4 being so much worse than the One just for that fact. Take your blinders off, they both look fantastic and graphically are on equal footing.

    I do agree that the PS4 menu is much easier to navigate and actually find what you are looking for. It just works.

    But on the One side there is alot more going on and finding something isnt always the easiest of tasks and the voice commands dont work half the time. If you arent logged in but on the home screen I cant get the voice command of "sign in as" to work. Its
    like the system wont recognize the command exists unless you ask for more shortcuts, then it takes it.

    Both systems need improvement, but I feel the One is much farther behind when it comes to feeling completed. They should have just waited until Q1 of next year to release it. Get everyone spending their Christmas money on it and have a better product ready
    to go.

    If it exists, then Major Nelson's high quality PDF doesn't document it.

    The next 3 months will have numerous updates&patches to the software and games, I wouldn't worry too much about missing features at this point.

    [/quote]

    It's not so much worrying as it is documenting it for Microsoft. I don't know where they seek feedback for improvements, but it's worth voicing my opinion and my feedback so that perhaps it will spread to others and be more noticeable to those who matter.
