Thank you very much for the code!

Edit:
Please give the code to someone else. No chance to redeem it as I am located in germany. Even VPN did not help to redeem the code.

Edit2:
Thank you to those who sent me other Gears 2 codes but it doesn't work. Either I change my region on my Xbox One or I try to get it done with some VPN tricks, I cannot redeem Gears 2 as the game is not allowed to release in Germany. I had the hope I could workaround it but it seems I cannot. If somebody from germany knows a workaround that works please PM me.

TheKeypit is usually around these threads, I believe he's in Germany and talked a while ago about a workaround! I'll keep the code for a while and see if he shows up!!

Damn. Did you try the VPN for your console or browser? Back when Gears of War 2 released, the only way to get the DLCs in Germany was through VPN. That's all I know for getting indexed games in Germany. (Knowledge from 2009)

In one of the recent Major Nelson podcasts, he said something about how the Burger King games don't have proper authentication on the disc so with b/c, they wouldn't be able to validate the disc to provide a download option. I think he left it open though, saying they *might* be able to figure something out, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Oblivion on 360 was what got me in to Bethesda games. In fact I think I own all of the DLC.
Disc is long gone though

It's there a way I can check what I own?
 
Oblivion recipe for fun: go to first oblivion gate, reload your save until you get a chameleon orb. Dupe it until you can enchant clothing that puts you over 100% invisible. Great great great

Good job Microsoft, Oblivion made BC when the sale is over. I'll go with a used disc then, so neither you or Bethesda get my money

amen brother, was hoping for skyrim bc, then they dropped the remaster...needles to say will be busting out the old physical copy of oblivion and don't plan on buying any bethesda games anytime soon.

I'm in the middle of a play through right now (that I'll now move to the X1) and I'm running a mage who can constantly cast invisibility. Run straight through dungeons lol.
 
Quick question all.

I want to play Ikaruga with a friend. He's on a 360 and i'm on the One. He can accept my game invites, but i'm not able to accept his since the center button on the One controller doesn't serve the same function and allow me to accept. I get notification of the invite, but when I go to the One dashboard I don't see the invite anywhere.

Any idea how I can accept his invite?

Press the Menu and View buttons at the same time to bring up the 360 guide.
 
I remember really getting into all the Oblivion sidequests (had already finished the main story), and then I got some weird disease that turned me into a vampire and kept me from being able to go out during the day. I haven't picked it up since, haha.

One of these days I'll get back into it, good to see it's BC now.

Yes I did try VPN (Vypr and ZenMate) even with different Browsers and I changed my consoles region but nothing actually worked. You know: GERMANY!
 
Oh wait, I said I want the Burger King games earlier, but I was mostly kidding. How about OutRun? That would be nice, if I get to pick a game you can't buy currently.

Is MW3 any good? Last Infinity Ward game I played was MW2. I enjoyed it.

It's the most balanced, but least diverse, of the MW games. Every weapon combo has a good counter, perks aren't insanely overwhelming nor are they detrimental to newcomers who don't have everything yet, the strike packages are the best handling of killstreak/scorestreak rewards to date, encouraging objective play more than raw K/D, and while the on-disc maps can be a tossup, quite a few of the DLC maps make up for that, as well as the breadth of gamemodes.

Especially Face Off. 2v2s, 3v3s, etc. on specially-designed maps were incredibly entertaining with small groups of friends.

Most, if not all of the above, hasn't ever really been repeated in any recent Call of Duty game.

Most, if not all of the above, is my own personal opinion.

And I have a bias, since MW3 is literally my favorite CoD ever, and I personally feel Black Ops 2 was the start of the decline.

Hmm interesting. How is the campaign, signature Infinity Ward I assume? Does Spec Ops make a return? How about a survival mode?

If you followed the story in the campaigns of MW1 and MW2, MW3 provides an incredibly satisfying conclusion to that trilogy, with one of the best goddamn final missions in any shooter I've played in recent memory. It doesn't really stand well on its own, however--the first two games are, IMO, a must-play before you pick up the MW3 campaign.

Spec Ops does exist in the game, and it includes both a standard Survival Mode against waves of enemies, and an even more ridiculous Chaos Mode. It's been a while since I've played either, so I couldn't tell you the experience of it all, but it's stupid fun, from what I do remember.
 
Nice

Not even sure why I bought Oblivion when it was on sale. I have it on PC and am more likely to play it there with mods etc. I guess their evil plan of selling more digital games with the BC program is working.
 
well shit

I was positive I already had Oblivion digitally. I guess I don't!

Glad it's here though, I liked Oblivion way more than Skyrim.

Cool might pick it up then if it becomes BC. I need a different COD game to balance out Black Ops.
