This is the second time I have tried to buy XBL credit from gamecard.mobi, and the second time they have messed me around and cancelled the order.

eBay can get stuffed. I'm sticking with CDKeys.

I used them the other week and had to wait for a phone call from them.

It sucks when things go wrong. I dont normally use Ebay to buy credit as i dont trust it. CDKeys is far better

I got my code eventually.

After a couple more emails back and forth where I kept asking them to explain exactly what the problem was, I mentioned I was going to give them negative feedback on eBay...

... all of a sudden they became helpful, and sent me the code once I confirmed three things they would have already known and did not previously ask for: what I bought, eBay name, PayPal email.

Still no explanation as to what the problem was though!


Not using them in future! I'll stick with CDKeys, even if it's ~£40 instead of ~£30.

Thanks for the warning.

Having fun with Kinect Rivals here with my partner, glad they have reduced the price though as only a mug would buy digital games at full price.

I knew holding off buying Titanfall digitally would eventually pay off!

Just bought Titanfall digital version for £32.96 (including 5% FB discount) from CDkeys.com making a total saving of £20 off the MS store price.

Post from Sky General discussion

PS4 to get Sky Go and Now TV and Xbox One to get Now TV app as well

Why no Sky Go for the Xbox One?

Is MS so desperate to get people to use the HDMI passthrough for TV that it is not bothering with Sky Go?

I doubt its that. Maybe Sky just need longer to code the app

[Tezcatlipoca]

I dunno. It wouldn't surprise me if it was the reason.

MS made a big song and dance about the passthrough and the One Guide, but I think that that feature would have fewer users if the console also had a Sky Go app.

Now TV:

Going back over the Eurogamer article on this, it links to one from November:

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...ut-summer-2014

That earlier article sheds more light on the lack of Sky Go:

...

Sky told us it still wants to extend the distribution of Sky Go, but main set platforms are less pressing because Sky Go customers, of which there are over three million, can already access Sky content on their main set via their Sky + HD box.

Sky's focus for Sky Go, then, is Android tablets and smartphones.

A Sky spokesperson said: "We enjoy a long track-record of innovating with Microsoft and look forward to the launch of Now TV on Xbox One by summer next year.

"As a dedicated over-the-top service, we have prioritised the availability of Now TV, to extend the reach of the service to the main TV. Looking ahead, we will also consider any future opportunities for Sky Go."

So, it's not MS wanting people to use the passthrough (my initial tinfoil hat assumption), but actually that Sky wants to concentrate on Now TV for "main set platforms" because people with Sky Go will already have a Sky box connected to their "main set", so won't need Sky Go for it. Now TV for main sets, Sky Go for mobile.

Then again... if that's the case, why announce Sky Go for PS4?
