The process of canceling, or even turning the auto-renewal off, is painful in this day and age. You can’t just login to your account and untick the box or just go to xbox.com, it requires a phone call to Xbox Support. So I called and after a 10 minute wait I got through to someone who then proceeded to ask me lots of security questions. When the Gold account auto-renews it does so at the full price you paid the year before. But the act of me attempting to cancel allowed the support person to offer me the same 12 month subscription for just £24 ($39). That’s a saving of $26 just for phoning up support.
Online multiplayer is back for 11 more games thanks to Insignia's XBL 1.0 replacement service running on Original Xbox consoles and the Xemu emulator on PC. Multiplayer, voice chat, leaderboards, etc. have been a monthly addition for many games from Xbox's past library thank to the team at Insignia.live! The 11 new games are now playable online once again after 13+ years.
Booo!! I was hoping that was Rainbow Six: Black Arrow...Boo!! again. I thought this coming to Xbox. I don't even read it I was so excited.
Has everyone completely forgotten Blinx?
Microsoft never could maintain a longrunning decent 3D platformers series of their own
Not sure if it was Xbox only back in the day but I'd love a current gen jet set radio!
Without a doubt, one of our highlights from EGX Rezzed 2016 was Table Top Racing. It was almost a classic love tale…”As soon as we locked eyes… (enter mushy crap here…)” – We think you get the picture. It just reminded us of a time where gaming was much less complicated and way more colourful, however at the time the game was only due to be released on the PS4… That’s not a bad thing. It just mean’t that being my primary console of choice is Xbox One, we wouldn’t get to play this any time soon as the majority of my games and friends reside in the Microsoft ecosystem – so when we got word this was getting a release on Xbox One, we immediately put our hands up and said “Yes, Please!”.
Wow, I've never had Xbox live for that cheap before. Seeing as how my live ends in about a month, I should try this out.
that is a pretty good deal, but MS should not have their customers jump through rings of fire just to cancel their account
I'm covered for this and next year. Paying only $29 when the Halo reach promo showed up on the dash. I clicked it got an error. Clicked again, and it worked. My recent renewel went through in January. Then I looked and noticed I'm due next Jan for the same price of $29. Even tho that offer was for one time I ended up with two.
These offers and deals are everywhere if you scout around.
I did this weeks ago this is old news.
Guys just buy your membership on EBAY, thats what i do. i have literally never payed full price for Xbox live.
