(Part 3) Reddit mentions: The best xbox one games, consoles & accessories

>PC player here, thinking about getting into GoW4 for MP.

Get it for $30 or cheaper. The game should be free to play with how much they charge you for the crates, but it's whatever. Microsoft.

>Watch some game play and looks fun.

I play the game almost daily, I think it's fun. The movement mechanics and weapons have a satisfying learning curve.

>Que still pops regularly?

Competitive warmup is your go-to if you're on PC and want to play with a party greater than you and one other member. You can queue 5 people. We're getting ranked crossplay in the coming months.

>Is the Season Pass necessary?

Unless you host private matches and want to play on a dedicated server or solo queue developer playlist, no. The season pass is terrible value. If you want to play dev list (play new maps early with 2x XP and 20% cr boost) then I reccomend you find someone who has the season pass to host the lobby. You can queue up and play the new maps without having to own the $50 paperweight.

>$80 (game+pass) is a very different price point than $30

The game should be free to play with a $40-50 season pass that provides extra XP and CR payouts. As it stands, the season pass is basically a ripoff. If you're playing a 10man private match, find someone with season pass and have them host to select maps that are outside of the defaults.

$80 is highway fucking robbery for this game. The cost/benefit model in comparison to other games on PC. $30 is a good maximum to buy this game.

Servers run at 60/30 tick, meaning your client sends 60 updates/sec and server sends 30 updates/sec, which is baffling to me. If you play CS GO and know that 64 tick is fucking awful in comparison to 128tick, you're in for a good time on this 60/30 cheapo bullshit.


tl;dr:

• buy game for $30 digital key
  
• Game is fun if you're competitive. Game is boring if you're a casual player.
  
• dedi servers run at low tick
  
• Horde is ruined b/c RNG lootcrates/class skills/shitty enemy variation
  
• Characters are unlocked through RNG lootcrates and Credit payouts are laughable

  Xbox One Jaguar Bundle
  PS4 Jaguar Bundle
  Xbox One Band Kit
  PS4 Band Kit

As long as you're in the Xbox One neighborhood, I also recommend looking at:

• Sunset Overdrive: Launch trailer. Well-respected developer with a couple decades of stuff under their belts. You can get this one for ten bucks on Amazon.
  
  
• Forza Horizon 2: E3 trailer. I generally don't like racing games, but this one is slick, easy to get into, and is set in an open-world environment that I just like driving around in. Horizon 3 is coming out in a few months. Free demo downloadable here. If you like it, Amazon has it on sale for $35. If you have a GCU account with Best Buy, they will price match Amazon, where it's currently marked down to $35, and bring the price down to $28. This only works with physical copies. XB1 also has Forza 5 and 6, which are more traditional racing games.
  
  
• Then there's the Master Chief Collection, which lets you play Halo 1 through 4 (but not Reach). The first two games have been remastered. It's pretty cool. Multiplayer was pretty buggy at first, and by the time it got fixed, most people had moved on to other things. But the single-player campaigns are a fun ride. Launch trailer.
  
  I personally feel that the PS4 has a better selection of games overall, but if you're ready to try an Xbox, there are some worthy reasons to do so. The console also has support for HBO Now, while the PS4 does not. You can buy the Xbox One S next month, which is a revised version of the console, but it costs $400. There are cheaper versions coming (less storage) but not until December. You you can get a bundle with the regular version now.

I’m sure there are a ton for more hardcore gamers than me, but I use the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 and love them. They’re wireless but have a good charge life, charge quickly, very comfortable (I have glasses too) and you just flip the mic up to mute which is super convenient for me compared to old pairs. They’re also much more durable than previous pairs.

You can definitely find better, I’m sure, but they’re def worth checking out for a cheaper price tag. Good luck with whatever you decide!

It's the only game I own and have over 25 days of matchmaking. Yes you should it's $20 here on amazon brand new, you can't beat that. The arena maybe tough at first but you'll get it, just know it's competitive in ranked. I wouldn't recommend warzone, although I haven't played it since they nerfed the fireteams from 12 to 6. Warzone firefight is a fun casual experience you can play with your feet up. If you don't play the campaign you want miss much story wish but I had fun playing it. The custom games are great with friends, and action sac brings those custom games to matchmaking which is fun too.

With respect to Xbox 360 instruments working on the Xbox One, you are thinking of the Mad Catz Legacy Game Adapter. You can get one here.

https://www.amazon.com/Mad-Catz-Rock-Band-Controller/dp/B01541ACLQ

Rock Band 4 (physical game disc) for the Xbox One previously came with said adapter but the original Rock Band 4 Band in the Box bundle for the Xbox One did not.

Nowadays, it is wise, as you said to buy Rock Band Rivals. That is an expansion to Rock Band 4 which contains a Rivals competitive mode and Rockudrama, a VH1-like storytelling career mode (separate from the existing Tour Mode already in Rock Band 4). You can purchase a digital copy of Rock Band 4 along with the Rivals expansion on the Xbox store (IIRC $60), or you can purchase different Rock Band Rivals bundles, including one with just a guitar and the game (along with the expansion) or one with a microphone, drum set, and the game (along with the expansion).

• https://www.amazon.com/Rock-Band-Rivals-Kit-Xbox-One/dp/B01IANW1JQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1479830620&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=rock+band+rivals&psc=1
  
• https://www.amazon.com/Rivals-Wireless-Fender-Jaguar-Bundle-PlayStation/dp/B01IANW08I/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1479830620&sr=1-2&keywords=rock%2Bband%2Brivals&th=1
  
  There is one more caveat though, and that's with the Legacy Adapter. The Legacy adapter only supports wireless instruments, and for the Xbox One, there currently isn't a way to use wired Xbox 360 instruments for the Xbox One. This includes Guitar Hero controllers like the Gibson Xplorer (Guitar Hero 2), and the Rock Band 1 instruments. However, the ION Drum Rocker and the Mad Catz MIDI Pro Adapter is now compatible with the Xbox One using the following adapter. This is important for really high-level drummers.
  
  https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Rock-Band-Wired-Legacy-Adapter/dp/B01MDJWJH9/ref=pd_sim_63_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01MDJWJH9&pd_rd_r=V85A4CRWGYH39RCM59NX&pd_rd_w=P0QWw&pd_rd_wg=WISBa&psc=1&refRID=V85A4CRWGYH39RCM59NX
  
  Therefore, if you wish to go the Xbox 360 route, you would have to buy the Legacy Adapter (first link), the Rock Band Rivals game (likely digitally), and then you can buy your 360 instruments. Otherwise, a full band bundle would also work. You can also combine legacy instruments and Xbox One instruments as well, although from experience the latency between them is different so you may run into issues here.
  
  I hope this helps.

> If Steamworks games could only be sold on Steam that would make it a closed ecosystem like console digital distribution services (PSN/XBox live)

You can buy digital codes for Microsoft's store from third parties, how is this any different or less closed than buying Steam codes from third parties? Steam codes must be used with Steam, and Microsoft codes must be used with Microsoft's store. Both are available from the store or from third parties.


> all those Steamworks games would be exclusives. It would be the exact opposite of the openness that PC gamers value so much.

Steamworks games ARE exclusive to the Steam platform. You can buy the key from elsewhere, but they must be used with Steam. You're right, it isn't completely open like PC gamers value so much, but few even know about Steamworks. To release on a platform other than Steam, Steamworks must be stripped out.

> Secondly, Steamworks is entirely optional. There are many games on Steam that do not use the Steamworks API at all. Using Steamworks is a choice that publishers/developers make of their own free will.

Same with the Windows Store and GoG.

> There is literally nothing Valve is doing to enforce any kind of market dominance that they enjoy.

Requiring Steam to use Steamworks is. Like you said, they allow games to use other distribution platform's multiplayer APIs such as GoG Galaxy, but don't allow their multiplayer API to be used on other distribution platforms. They still get to sell and make money off games that don't use their API and games that do use their API must be distributed via Steam.

If they are able to convince developers to use Steamworks (which is easy since they're dominant) then they win. Now games will either not be released on other platforms, or if they are, they must be stripped of Steamworks which will make them incompatible with the Steam version, where the majority of the users are and that makes the non-steam version of the game very unappealing. Which is exactly what happened with these two CoD games.

I actually loved the GBA SP design. It wasn't comfortable for games like Mario Kart, but since I was mainly playing stuff like FF:Tactics or Golden Sun, it was fantastic. However, the GBA SP had a screen that weighed almost nothing.

I think you can kind of "test" out the ergonomics of this a bit if you get a phone-clamp to attach an Android/iOS to an Xbox/Nimbus controller. Preferably a bigger, heavier phone if you have one available. Maybe stack two of them to simulate the weight. See how it feels. Example clamp:

phone clamp for xbox controller (amazon.com)

I suspect it'll be top-heavy. The gains may not outweigh the disadvantages. But I'm just guessing, maybe it'd be workable!

FWIW, something like the RDS GoPlay grip makes holding the Switch in handheld mode very comfortable. It's certainly doesn't make it narrower (actually it adds some width), but it's significantly more comfortable than a naked Switch, and doesn't introduce any weight or center-of-gravity issues.

​

Regarding the headset, if you have the money, I'd suggest the Turtle Beach Ear Force XO Seven.

>I've got a pair myself and it's absolutely the coolest thing I have for my Xbox One. See, the Xbox One will actually send game audio over the wireless controller. This means that you can turn off or mute your sound system and only use the headset for both chat and game audio. It's been incredibly handy for me when I want to play a game, but my wife is asleep. Even better is that I can watch Netflix or YouTube the same way. The adapter it comes with has buttons that allow you to turn down the game audio relative to chat volume as well, so if your game audio is overbearing or you only want to use the headset for chat, you can.

>Now, there is a cheaper version of the XO Seven called the XO Four. It runs about eighty bucks, but it doesn't have a noise cancelling mic. Depending on how loud your sound system is, this may or may not be a big deal for you. Regardless of which one you choose, they both come with the stereo headset adapter so everything you need is included.

>You will probably have to update your controller's firmware before you use it, though. It's easy, and the instructions for doing so are included with the headset. Just make sure you've got a micro USB cable handy.

I'd also suggest the Nyko Charge Base for Xbox One.

> Nothing beats rechargeable batteries. Having a place to keep your controller and charge it is just awesome. I've had mine since the Xbox One was released and I've never once had any issues or even had to bother charging my controller in the middle of a play session. It's great to be able to set the controller in the charging dock when you aren't using it and have a fully-charged battery the next time you use it.

There are tons of ways to do this legit, through headsets and mixamps but the easiest way to get party chat to to heard on stream is to output the party chat through your speakers. That will get the party to be able to be picked up by the hdmi cord thats going to the capture card.

There are a few issues though. 1. You can't adjust the party's volume without increasing the entire capture cards audio at once. 2. Since its considered 'game audio' from the capture device it is gonna be delayed. So unless you have already sync'd your audio with your mic so it offsets any delay from the capture card, your responses to the party chat will be early and their replies will seem really late.

For xbox you can connect to party chat through the windows 10 xbox app and the stream will hear the party chat from there. Gives you more control over the volume to. Unsure if there is a feature like this for ps4 though.

You can also use a headset with a mix amp to record party chat. the Astros A40 TR Headset w/ MixAmp has this ability though it is expensive.

Sadly, I can't comment on any of this since I was in a similar situation a few years ago.

However, I can share you my story ... I was looking for a decent Headset for my Xbox360. I wanted the Astro Gaming A40 (
ASTRO Gaming A40 TR Headset + MixAmp Pro TR (Xbox One) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B014H2T84K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_w2V8BbYSNWYJ9), but I had issues with its price - $399 when it came out. I end up using the TurtleBeach, but most of my frends are Gaming Enthusiasts and they play longer that I do. But at the end it was the price.

3 years had passed and Best Buy had a Boxing Day sale (Canada's Black Friday deals) and I got it for 55% off, with my GF's approval. I was already scheduled off for the week and I played a total of 60+ hours (longest was 11hours staright) and no signs of strains or pains in my head. Most of the Pro gamers still uses this and I use there practical use.

I am on my 3rd console and its still works like new!!!

Good Luck with you and at the end of the day its really what you want.

My Comment got remvoed by Automod,

This is a digital code for a Play Anywhere title. This means the game can played on both PC and/or Xbox One with Cross Save and Cross play support.

For anyone curious, the game is a 117GB download on PC and it is an absolutely fantastic port. Possibly the best console port ever.

Once you buy the game, a code will be send to your email which can be redeemed on the Windows Store.

Edit - Same price at NewEgg.

Edit 2 - Amazon Price Matched

Besides being more comfortable, the XB1's dpad is significantly better. For example, I couldn't wall jump in Super Metroid with the 360 controller, and was only able to get past that part when I got an XB1 controller.

On the other hand, I completed Dark Souls with the 360 controller and it was a great experience. So I would get this $25 360 pad if you're on a budget, otherwise for greater comfort and usable dpad, I'd prefer the $73 Xbox 1 controller.

have you thought of just modding a regular controller?

https://www.amazon.com/Collective-Minds-Xbox-One-Mod-Pack/dp/B07H4MPJ5X/

https://www.amazon.com/Bionik-Quickshot-for-Xbox-One/dp/B01N1QO0TS/

i tried the elite controller but just wasn't a fan of how all the parts could come off, so i stick to a regular controller since they're way easier to replace and i love the bluetooth functionality. i use the x1 controller with the snes classic and emulators on my android devices and it works wonderfully.

i could understand if you got too used to the paddles though. i would have loved those when i was really into online fps a while ago.

I purchased the Turtle Beach Ear Force XO Seven headset a few months back and am extremely happy. Right now they're going for $99.97 on Amazon. There's only one wire that goes right into the controller, it's a comfortable fit (I have a huge head), the sound is top notch, and my friends all say the mic sounds crystal clear.

I've been using a set of first gen Astro A40s that come with the Astro MixAmp Pro (Xbox One Version). It connects straight to the Xbox with a fiber cable for audio and a USB cable for Power and Microphone into the xbox. It contains two knobs, one for overall volume and one for mixing between Game and Gamechat

On Prime Day the first gen A40s were $150 but they're currently $235. If you were to decide to get that headset, I'd say spend the extra $15 (Assuming you're in the US) and get the Second Gen Astro A40s

​

My personal setup is way more complicated than what you will need but I use a 3 way fiber switch so I can switch to the audio coming from either my 360 or XB1 into the MixAmp.

Then I have a 3 way HDMI switch so my 360, XB1, or Laptop can go into my main monitor when I need it. Before it hits the monitor my Elgato HD60 S intercepts the signal so I can use the signal for streaming.

The MixAmp also has a aux input that I plug either my phone or laptop into so I have two sources coming in to my headset. The only issue with doing that is the volume has to be controlled by the laptop or phone itself or you just adjust the Game / Gamechat knob since it's in the Gamechat signal.

It is optional but I also got the mod kit which comes with new ear cushions, speaker tags that help with noise cancellation, padded headband and a better than stock mic. It's $60 and comes in a bunch of different colors but it helps a lot IMO.

​

Hope the info helps.

Edit: Photos of setup

> 4 removed even more of what the series was known for, combined with technical issues, it created a much larger than normal amount of backlash when compared to the previous Fallout games.

I already addressed everything you already said about 3 in the post you replied to. The point is that 3 had issues but was acceptable, 4 crossed a line.

Citations for user scores: Gamefaqs IMDB [Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/Fallout-4-Xbox-One/dp/B00YQ1NOPM?th=1) [IGN] (http://ca.ign.com/games/fallout-4/pc-123766) [Microsoft Store] (https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/store/p/fallout-4/c3kldkzbhncz)

Do this for me, google "fallout 4 user scores" and notice how every result is a forum thread with people asking why the scores are messed up.

> Deservedly so. Sure it's polished and has great consumer practices. But it lacks a lot. It's mp only, has few game modes and maps, it's totally overrated. Goty awards mean shit and many people vocally disagree. Every thread about it winning goty is about just that. It's solid, fresh and fun but it is seriously lacking.

No offense, but no one asked how you felt about the game, it has no bearing on anything here. Notice how I'm not saying Fallout 4 is a good game? I never once defended it's quality, and I think that maybe what's happening here is everyone thinks I'm defending it, but I'm not. I'm just pointing out that most people liked it, and that the "everyone hates Fallout 4" pov doesn't hold much weight.

> You haven't proven anything. Metacritic has games with high user review scores. People are just a bit more harsh and don't always consider a 7 a bad review. Publications consider anything under 8 as just okay. Most people consider a 7 good, not great. Even a 6 isn't necessarily a bad score.

You say "most people" a lot but offer no way of proving that. Citations please.

Literally the only thing people ever do to try and prove that it's a widely disliked game is post the metacritic user scores and then their own anecdotal evidence about how they see a lot of people trash talking it. I post much more user scores than that and point out things like sales and the popularity it's retained (as evidenced by GameFAQS, a site that gets much more traffic than metacritic), and then I get told my evidence isn't good enough for some reason, even though it's more substantial than the evidence belonging to those I'm debating with. I can't win this argument in your eyes because literally anything I do to back myself up is going to disagree with this community's narrative. I could probably come in here with a peer reviewed study and people would still ask for more. Like, I'm done with this. If this doesn't convince you, fuck it, I tried.

If I were to win I would like Battlefield 1 for Xbox One. I wish I had the money to get it but unfortunatley I dont. It looks like a great game and I have heard nothing but great things about it. With the way First person shooters are generally going with all of the boost jump , wall running and futuristic weapons it to me has become a boring genre and this game looks as though it could be the answer im looking for. Thanks for doing the giveaway and congrats on your newfound wealth!

Hey OP, not for nothing but after doing a quick google search, it looks like you bought a different converter than I have.

While I'm sure their "Super Converter" is good, I would be remiss if I didn't highly recommend you return it and get yourself their "X ONE Adapter".

It's totally wireless and allows you to use your Elite on PS4 and Switch.

I got mine here, for $50: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078W3JRLL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Gm05BbZVAH4VP

I frequently use the popular list on solar system map lower left corner with free trial version, but if it randomly selects a map on "Siva" Crisis Heroic strike or Weekly Story Playlist that I don't have access to it aborts mission and sends me back to orbit. If you don't have the Rise of Iron, you're missing a lot, since people do the Siva Crisis Heroic Strike (and Crucible), list to get Legendary marks five times and one Treasure of the Ages Chest (dismantle for Silver dust) weekly.

If you want to increase your light level first (although most people in strike can help you through), to maximize your time to get the most loot, have all three characters spend 10 minutes a day to do one Public Event successfully completed gold level (and /or daily crucible) for rewards and Legendary marks to buy gear. Most public events timers aren't synchronized, but if you go to Moon - upon landing at Archers Line there's always event and people to help. http://destinypublicevents.com/

The key to maximize your light level decrypting, is to rotate decryption of the type of engrams, so all gear you're wearing is highest possible level. Don't bother spending glimmer or materials on rare blue gear that will be discarded quickly for higher level new replacements, since even a couple points is double digits more damage (and wait to infuse legendary purple and exotic gear). https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/4i3511/could_somebody_please_tell_me_what_the_hell_tier/

Happy hunting Guardian.

I bought a PowerA controller and while I like the ergonomics of it, the construction quality isn't the greatest. The A button started to stick after a short time and one of the bumpers started to misfunction. I had a super hard time getting it replaced through their customer service and eventually had to bitch at their twitter account to get a replacement one. Then the A button started to jam quickly on that one too. I was able to open it up and do some work and fix it, but that obviously isn't ideal.

I'd suggest just getting a new controller if you still have the option to at best buy until they improve their quality standards.

If you are looking for a decent cheap controller, I've heard good things about this one.

Although I don't personally own it.

Turtle Beach Stealth 600s

i just got these and they are amazing. and only $80 at best buy. I did wish i sprung the extra $25 and got the stealth 700s because they also have bluetooth.

But even without bluetooth, i find these to sound fantastic. I use them almost all the time im watching tv/movies or games. My surround sound is barely on anymore.

I don't own these headsets, but pretty much all reviews agrees that Astro A40 and Astro A50 are the best high end headsets you can buy.

>Once again, Microsoft offered a compelling event for those of us who enjoy the boardroom intrigue of the games industry as much as the games themselves. Though as someone who has seen our in-depth reports on game developers be dwarfed in readership by a 15-second teaser for Pokemon, I can assure Microsoft that its business plans are of little interest to average E3 viewers.

Uhh MS had the most talked about E3 of the year though? So lots of people had interest in new Xbox hardware. Also the Xbox Slim is the highest selling console on Amazon right now. Really this article can be boiled down to "I liked the Sony games better."

I actually just bought the Turtle Beach 600 Stealth to replace my XO4 wired headset. Mainly because they’re wireless, has a great mic, and has mic monitoring. These hit all of your checkboxes for $89.

Bonus: They are glasses friendly.

Edit: Wireless support on Xbox does not require a dongle as they connect the same way your controller connects.

I have a case for my switch and my pro controller separately because I don't want to damage my controller. I use this for my switch and this for my Pro Controller and they both work great and I think are pretty compact. They both easily fit in my messenger bag with my laptop whenever I go to school.

It's definitely padded enough, but I feel the bottom could use just a little more padding. I may slide some socks or something down in there to cushion it.

I can try to add pictures of it later if that would help.

I almost got that briefcase myself, but went with the Sleeve instead because it fit in my roller bag. It was ok, just not big enough for much else. I'm so glad I found this backpack haha

So, I'll update with how that works out too.

I can answer that first question for you. Amazon has a bundle that comes with the new blue Jaguar guitar, Rock Band 4 with a Rivals DLC code included, a mail-in coupon for a free microphone (while supplies last) and the 12 pre-order bonus songs. It's $89.99 or $71.99 if you have Amazon Prime. There's also the $199 band-in-a-box bundle ($159.99 with Prime) with all the new instruments from PDP plus Rock Band 4 with the Rivals DLC code and all 12 pre-order bonus songs.

I am in the same situation. But here is an archive.org link of the page.

https://web.archive.org/web/20190720231512/https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EZB92QM/

edit: Amazon support transferred me to Twitch support, in the same chat window, because they believed it was for Twitch Credit. Twitch support then gave me the $15 credit. All you need is the link to the promotion, so grab that from the reddit post.

these are really good for the price and there are the 700 series that cost alittle more but i honestly am very happy with the 600 series

/u/ajiveturkey - This is the case i got for my pro controller. Yes this says X1 but it fits the pro just as well. Its hard shell as well so buttons dont get accidently pressed. I travel a lot for work so this has allowed me to put a controller into checked luggage and not worry about it, or be afraid a button press will try to wake up the switch while its in a case.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D159YQQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

EDIT: Yes, the case did kinda smell for me. but its the plasticky fresh out of the factory smell. If you air it out it will eventually go away.

That's also a terrible reason. If I want to play Halo 5 with a friend today I have to buy:

• 2 Xbox One consoles ($270 each)
  
• 2 copies of Halo 5 ($39.99 each via digital download)
  
  That adds up to $619.98, and I haven't even gotten to xbox live, headphones, and other tv hardware. Over $600 of merchandise has to be purchased to play one game of Halo 5 with a friend.
  
  This is precisely why I haven't bought an xbox one, and why I probably won't be buying an xbox one.
  
  If I want to play Halo: Reach with a friend today it will cost me about $130 if I started from scratch, and that includes buying the console, game, and an extra controller. No xbox live required.

It certainly is. It can be extremely frustrating at times, but over all it is fun in my opinion and if you aren't aiming to complete anything it can be a great stress reliever too.

The other day Amazon had it for $9.99 USD, but right now (11.26.16 at 1:47pm EST) it is more but still on sale (at least half off). Here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/Tom-Clancys-Division-Xbox-One/dp/B00DDXILBQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1480185448&sr=1-1&keywords=the%2Bdivision&th=1

This one is considerably smaller than the standard xbone controller and works amazing. Best 3rd party controller i ever bought. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01J36HGC6/ref=zg_bs_6469279011_16?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=4T7FJPHKTKR4TE4FP6JX

I use this one from PowerA.

Quality wise I am satisfied. Sure it doesn't feel quite as good as an official one but it is fine. The sticks feel good. The triggers do have a cheap feel, for the price I don't notice.

Compatibility will be a hit or miss I think. Mostly it just works and is recognized as an Xbox pad. Steam works. It is all about the device IDs. If you can find a way to edit the reported USB device ID to the offical pad it would function exactly the same way.

I don't know about with emulators. I have had just one game not recognize the controller and that is Dirt Rally. The fix is to add my pads ID to the inputconfiguration.json in the game files. Surely other games would have this issue but not many.

It's up on Amazon, too

• $300 for 500GB
  
• $350 for 1TB
  
• $400 for 2TB
  
  edit: Current Amazon release date is Dec 30, 2016, but pre-order dates always seem to be NYE when the product page first goes up. I'm sure it'll get fixed to Aug.
  
  edit 2: I linked to Smile.Amazon.com... an official Amazon site with the exact same sign-in and securities and payments and everything, but you can pick a charity that a portion of your purchase amount goes to at no extra charge. Amazon started it in 2013.

I bought this case and it is amazing. Excellent fit and this case solved this same problem for me

i got this in white. . . one for both of our model 3's. both work great! bad reviews are from the 1st gen of the controller. 2nd gen apparently doesn't have any problems and it's made by amazon so apparently they back it well if it does break. so far it's been great!

Any deals on this Controller + Play and Charge Kit combo anywhere?:

http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Controller-Play-Charge-Kit-Xbox/dp/B00CMQTUY2

It's 74.99 everywhere, but I may just go to Best Buy and get a controller for $40 + Play and Charge Kit for $25 = $65

I have the XO sevens made by Turtlebeach. So far they've been great. They are extremely comfortable and the sound quality is excellent. It comes with a detachable mic boom, which is nice too. I had a pair of the official Microsoft headphones before and they were garbage. The XO sevens are a bit pricey, but in my experiences, it's worth it.

Best controller? I'd definitely say the xbox one elite because of the paddles on the back. You could also just get a battery pack that has paddles. They're a lot cheaper, and work with your existing controller.

The paddles are important because they allow you to keep your thumb on the right analog stick. I switched from controller to MKB in open beta because I didn't like the idea of having to move my thumb to GBC, dodge, or feint.

I'm not sure about best controller settings. You definitely want to lower your dead zone setting to probably 5. Someone might be able to recommend good controller settings.

Honestly it's now around 10/10 australian hot in here, I have got no more biscuits left and my dog has fallen asleep on my foot and it's beyond asleep (the foot and the dog to equal parts). These are very basic and I would go for either EVGA, seasonic or corsair for the psu. Optical drive you probably won't need, unless you plan to convert your VHS to dvd and then to convert them to digital you rip them with the drive (too hot to think). OS you don't need to worry about, just get win8.1 64bit. Wireless adapter, because screw having a ethernet cable running through your living room, also simpler to setup.

Edit 3: I would get an Xbox one controller, http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Controller-Play-Charge-Kit-Xbox/dp/B00CMQTUY2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420187632&sr=8-1&keywords=xbox+one+controller, they are an actual improvement on the X360 controllers, in my opinion, and feel more solid and well constructed. Plus the buttons clickity click, which could potentially make up for the lack of mechanical keyboard.

Edit 4: This build is cheaper and doesn't feature overclocking potential, honestly I would still go for the first build, or something similar, simply having the option of going oc later down the road, should you ever need more raw power, is earily worth the little bit you pay more

Hope these help

Both my boys and myself use these. They hold an awesome charge, and you can play while they’re charging or wireless.

PowerA Play & Charge Kit For Xbox... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D8E1F8U?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

While these https://www.amazon.com/POWER-PLAY-CHARGE-KIT-XBOX-ONE/dp/B01D8E1F8U may not be the best, they do have a major advantage for me. Ease of changing the battery pack/charging. I have dexterity issues and these are very easy to swap out in a heartbeat when needed. They also charge directly off of the XB1 USB port. You can also opt for a charging stand if you desire. Just my opinion (and what works for me).

Don’t buy SCUF. They’ll disintegrate within a few months. Go to Amazon and find some OEM side rails. If you don’t want to fork out $40 for the OEM parts; there are some that are nearly identical to OEMs and cost the same as the SCUF grips.

Here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0Q0QI8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_r.GhDbCB3VBQZ

Yes, the SCUF grips are cheap and feel great out of the box. I thought the same thing. Then a few months in, the rubber on one of the thumbsticks felt loose and started to pull away from the metal. Even then, I told myself “no biggie, I’ll just replace it with another thumbstick.” Then another thumbstick went. Suddenly, the grips started to feel like they’d expanded. They had. The rubber had deformed and expanded like a sponge. On top of all that, the SCUF logo pattern had taken on a ton of grime that I’d never gotten on my stock elite grips.

All of that happened within six months. I’m a neat freak and make a legitimate effort to keep my stuff clean. Save yourself the headache of having to replace your grips in six months and just order OEM parts. Anything but SCUF.

I got these for mine and they look like the originals. Hopefully they ship to NZ

EDIT: Easy to install too. Took less than 5 min.

There is this

Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Wireless Surround Sound Gaming Headset for Xbox One https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B071ZRTMXF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_l5IKAbFZRVTK5

But its but its a big headset, but it shows there is 3rd party support for Headsets using the wireless communications protocol, or Microsoft themselves

Has anyone used the Brooke X One adapter? I have an XBox Elite controller that I want to use it with. I have the pro controller but it already seems like it's on its way out.

Here is the link for anyone who is interested.

PowerA Play & Charge Kit For Xbox One https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D8E1F8U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_2C8DDb7MWZ9W1 Best and most reliable. You can charge with any mini usb cord or with a standard controller charging dock. Also comes with really long mini usb cord.

These are a great replacement far cheaper long term

https://smile.amazon.com/eXtremeRate-Rubberized-replaceable-Faceplates-Controller/dp/B01M0Q0QI8

I bought these grips a week or two ago and they work perfectly. It sure about the faceplate though.

https://www.amazon.com/Controller-Phone-Holder-iPhone-Samsung-Huawei/dp/B07BF2H3CP/

OP wants this, but to fit a pro controller. It would work exactly like this does.

Had this for a year. The quality is superb and the shoulders still click like day one to this day, and I'm pretty heavy on how I use it because I play Devil May Cry 4 religiously. Highly recommend it bud.

https://www.amazon.com/POWER-Wired-Controller-Black-Xbox-One/dp/B01J36HGC6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484586600&sr=8-1&keywords=power+a+xbox+one+controller

Normal batteries or rechargeables? If rechargeables, originals or third party? I was close to my controller when one of these started to melt, luckily it smelled burning plastic before there was an actual fire. Now I just use original rechargeables ones. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Play-Charge-Kit-Plus-Officially/dp/B01D8E1F8U/ref=mp_s_a_1_14?keywords=xbox+rechargable+battery+pack&qid=1565603741&s=gateway&sprefix=Xbox+re&sr=8-14

This is the one I use. I got mine at my local Walmart for like $4 cheaper but they’re the same thing. The downsides of it are it has to be plugged in all the time (it comes with a 10ft cord) and I can’t figure out any of the other things it does lol

It’s supposed to be able to a whole bunch of stuff, but I just use it for the paddles.


Edit: I forgot to add that sometimes my friends complain about static or feedback coming from my mic, but I just unplug and re-plug it in, and it fixes it.

i have the xo seven had them for about a week the sound quality is top notch very comfy and look amazing in black and green for £100 not to bad
and it comes with the adaptor
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Turtle-Beach-XO7-Headset-Xbox/dp/B00D96BJSO

The X One adapter is 100% wireless

• https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078W3JRLL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fhvQBbMZXD5GV
  
  As for the price? It’s $50, that’s up to you if you think it’s too expensive. I however think that’s a great price. I use it all the time, so it’s certainly worth it.

Yeah, wireless was just a bonus for me. So the ones you have don't connect to the controller, just the console, and the mixamp is basically a substitute for the usual adapter connected to the controller? Btw, they're a little cheaper on Amazon, so that's nice.

Edit: Btw, I sit about 10ft from my Xbox, so I won't have an issue with the wires, right?

If you already have one, that's great, but if you're looking for a case that doesn't have a different platforms logo on the front and fits the Switch Pro controller like a glove, I picked up the Hermitshell Xbox One controller case from Amazon after someone posted it on this sub and can't recommend it enough.

>It's price has dropped considerably on the second hand market as well. It's less than £20 on Amazon brand new which again, isn't a good sign.

It's set on Amazon for 59.90$, currently 39.90$ on Sale. That's almost double then what you said. Additionally the game isn't at all cheaper on second-hand markets, it's more then 40 euros on both g2a & Kinguin.

I'm also on PS4 I use the xbox elite controller with brook x one converter. https://www.amazon.com/CtrlDepot-Converter-Controller-Wireless-Rechargeable/dp/B078W3JRLL It works awesome with zero lag wired and wireless. I've been really impressed with it.

If you have a Xbox one buy these rechargeable battery packs for you controller

You will save money on batteries and the battery life of a fully charged pack last about about 2 weeks with daily use. Plus you can charge while playing so no more annoying waits and quick dashes out to the shop to get more batteries. I’ve probably saved way more than £50 on batteries with rechargeable battery packs.

As for the headset the Astro A10 is a great headset.

It’s way worth it’s money as the sound quality and microphone is great not like the over sensitive microphone and shitty audio on cheap £20 headsets. It’s durable as fuck as well, mine has survived horrible abuse and it’s still in perfect condition and I’ve gone through about 5 cheap headsets including Xbox official ones. It’s comfy to wear too.

Here are the clear amazon links.

To save money... thoughts? Although, I always like to go big or go home so...

When you unplug your controllers, do you do it by grabbing the base and pulling it out or do you just tug on the wire so it pops off easily? I used to do this and eventually that messed up the wiring and I could only hear out of it but couldn’t talk.

As far as recommendations go, I think it would be worth it to drop the money on something decent. I personally use the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 and I love it. Have never had any issues with it.

If you live close to a best buy then have them price match these.

I got this one and it works great for all of the games, it even rumbles! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D12RPHX/

Hey I know it's been 2 weeks since you posted this, but I just wanted to say I've been using this one from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BF2H3CP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_Q3tXCb9BWQK9C and I like it alot

I would say one of the best deals you are going to get it by buying the Destiny collection. It contains all the dlcs and rise of iron: Destiny The Collection - Xbox One Standard Edition https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K63R7EW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Eff2xbD3S80RD

Got one almost the same, probably the same just different brands all using the same design/mold. Works great though, that’s all that matters https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BF2H3CP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_trQ2DbE84DKZ9

Works perfectly on PC.

I use this controller addon to add two paddles to the back of my Xbox controller for Rocket League. The problem is, after a month or so, the paddle I use for boost always ends up breaking. I've just spent a few days iterating and have come up with a replacement that feels even better than the original.

I'm using this and fits wonderfully! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D159YQQ/

Real easy fix. Just gotta order replacements, as annoying as that is.

These are what I ordered, and they worked great. Unfortunately they run out of stock easily, so timing is key. However, it's a really easy fix. Just pop those suckers off and replace.

I bought the Astro a40 and mix amp a couple months ago. Very good!

Also if you buy amazon. Click on the used section. I got mine used for $114.

I just change the A button the the RB button, then tape the buttons down. Let it go overnight while I sleep.

Luckily you don't have to spend a lot to get a new guitar, you can get the Rivals guitar bundle for only $40 which is actually cheaper than getting a guitar on its own.

If you want to get a band kit itll cost you $100.

This one works well for me. Has a nice felt interior. Switch Pro fits well... Hermitshell Travel EVA Case Carrying Pouch Cover Bag Compact size for Microsoft Xbox One/Xbox One S/Xbox One X Wireless Controller https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D159YQQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_2cc3AbSCJK6WN

Yeah, its third party, not by Nintendo.

"PowerA" branded.

This Xbox controller is the exact same design.

Good deal if on consoles and haven't picked it up yet.

I wouldn't read too much into such a big discount so soon after launch - Amazon also had Fallout 4 for a sizeable discount soon after launch (PS4 price history, XB1 price history, launch date was November 10 2015) and also discounted Witcher 3 (PS4 price history, XB1 price history, launch date was May 19 2015) though not quite as quickly.

Ahh somebody is reading that fine print! Hopefully that means the controller from the black xbox one works with the new one.

Edit: This amazon page says that it comes with 1 controller.

Got it on Amazon. It is quite sturdy. Great for seated play but the hinge does not lock enough to lay down with it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BF2H3CP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

these were perfect replacements

I've been eyeing one of these Brooks adapters to use with my XB1 Elite controller.

I really prefer using the xb1e over my Vantage, but it would be nice if I didn't have to use a wired adapter with an extra DS4 controller attached.

Unfortunately, I have these headphones here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D96BJSO

The problem is that there is technically a wire that must connect to the controller itself. That's honestly most of the problem. haha. I might just have to fortify and buy a new pair.

EDIT: Thanks for your thoughtful response!

All 12 deals have Fallout 4 included and you are able to get any one of these games that is $59.99 or less free with your purchase XB1S

Works with Pre-orders

Remember if you want BF1 it is still $35 on Amazon BF1 deal expired earlier today

I use the 700 version which is very limited in its difference. These are very nice because they actually pair to your Xbox in the same way that your controller does. They use Windows Sonic which was referenced above and it does a nice job with footsteps. I think with your price point you can't go wrong with these. I will advise that I have a pretty large head and it took some wearing before I adjusted to the feel of these but I don't think someone with a smaller to normal sized head would have the same experience. No matter what you do its important that when you get your gaming headset you go to your settings and change the audio type to the appropriate setting(Sonic, Atmos etc).

I think this is what he's talking about. This is UK but shouldn't be hard to find on Amazon in the US.

Edit; scratch that. Found it on Amazon in the US. It does say it's currently unavailable, but if you scroll down just a little bit under where it says currently unavailable it does have 1 that's new at just under $10 from the same supplier. Here's the link for that.

Not selling anything, but if you were interested in Halo 5 Collectors edition, they have it for $100 on amazon, originally $250.

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE

I bought these:

https://www.amazon.com/eXtremeRate-Rubberized-Replacement-Faceplates-Xbox-One/dp/B01M0Q0QI8/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=xbox+elite+controller+replacement+parts&qid=1571141024&sr=8-4

They're really good

I’ve been using this thing since I have a terrible time with symmetrical sticks. Works wirelessly and since you’re just using one of your Xbox controllers there’s nothing new to get used to. Only downsides are the price (almost as much as a new controller :/ ) and the battery life, but you can charge it while you’re using it and I usually just plug it into a portable power bank. Also installing the damn thing took some tinkering so I’d recommend using a spare xbox controller so you don’t need to unplug and plug in the adapter multiple times. Not sure if the micro usb on the adapter would hold up.

If you’re worried about not having a touch pad there’s a hacky way to mimic it (hold down the View button while using the stick) but honestly it’s never been an issue for me in any of the ps4 games I’ve played. The View button acts like a click of the touchpad and there’s a button on the adapter thing for the Share button.

Phone clip

I bought this one last year and it works great. I bought it to use with my Steelseries controller but it fits the Xbox One controller just as well. No issues with it getting in the way of buttons and the clamp hold last the phone real solid.

Thanks for posting this though, get your deals Americans! :)

Dainslef (New Version)Xbox One Controller Foldable Mobile Phone Holder + Xbox One Controller. No need to compromise!


Edit: Just as a heads up, you'll need to have an xbox PC dongle or an xbox one to update the firmware on the controller yo the latest version in order for the controller to play nice with android via bluetooth.

Yeah that is the Amazon basics wired controller.

https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Xbox-One-Wired-Controller-Version/dp/B07D12RPHX/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1FR9O5WH1RPG2&keywords=amazon%2Bbasics%2Bxbox%2Bone%2Bcontroller&qid=1569605291&s=gateway&sprefix=amazon%2Bbasics%2Bxbox%2Caps%2C177&sr=8-3&th=1

I was planning on wireless, but it looks like a company named PowerA makes officially licensed wired controllers

Don’t know why they don’t come with the powerpack. Just bought it from amazon and like it compared to changing out batteries every week. Also have usb/electrical outlets in house, so no need to plug into console for use.

Anybody interest in a $530 Xbox One?


https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01GW3GM7I/ref=cm_gf_aAN_i18_d_p0_qd30_____________________FREHD7PDM5S2EEPPVDG6

My gf bought the game for me a couple weeks ago for $17.99(USD) on amazon. I just checked again and it went back up to $30.00(USD). I'd say wait until on sale.

[Edit] https://www.amazon.com/Fallout-4-Xbox-One-video-game/dp/B00YQ1NOPM/ref=sr_1_11?keywords=Fallout+76+xbox&qid=1568774658&s=gateway&sr=8-11

Found it for cheaper!!!

Actually, the Stealth 600 from Turtle Beach is only $87 right now. The reviews are much better after the updates too.

It’s level of quality compared to the $179 LS35X may not match up, though.

this is a good idea but wireless headphones are oof a little too expensive (we are talking $150 US and above) for me I have an omen 800 headset and it's amazing but wired, can't use it for VR anymore, if I can't fix the headset Ill sell my headphones and get a wireless one.

I was thinking about buying this one as a last resource https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Stealth-Wireless-Surround-Gaming-Headset/dp/B071ZRTMXF/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Stealth%2B600&qid=1555905584&s=gateway&sr=8-1&th=1

​

over here this wireless headset cost almost $147 US u.u

Here you go. It's 50% off on Amazon digitally right now which gets you PC and Xbox One access. And yeah, it's easy to activate in the windows store. Not always easy to download though unfortunately.

I'd not heard of these before you mentioned them, but it seems that yep - there is an Xbox One version: -

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Collective-Minds-CM00023-Xbox-Pack/dp/B07H4MPJ5X/

I think it is just a rebrand of the Power A Xbox One controller. They look exactly the same. See here for the Power A: https://www.amazon.com/Wired-Controller-Xbox-One-Black/dp/B01J36HGC6/

From what I have read, for $25-30 it is a pretty good controller. Obviously won't be as good or solidly built as the official controller, but still decent enough.

Deal ended.

The game, guitar, drums, mic bundle is also on sale on Amazon for $100.

~~Rock Band Rivals Band Kit for Xbox One
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IANW1JQ/~~

Also worth noting that the game/guitar bundle linked in this post is the cheapest way to get a new guitar (new as in not used, not like a new design or something) for the XB1.

I don't like PSNow, the latency is really noticeable.
You can use an XBox One controller (or an Elite one, preferably) on PS4 using a convertor, incidentally. It's really good.

It’s still included. If you go to this page, it’s included in the special offers.

Yes, 2TB is $399.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GW3GM7I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's 29.99 for PS4 and 28.90 for XBone right now (Includes base game + All DLC). Seriously, it's well worth the $30, just try it out.

Here's the same thing for half price. I bought them and can't see a difference between these and the original Elite ones.

This might do you a little better.

Thanks for the tip, but just looked and battlefront is 29 dollars PC but 40 as a digital download

I've already played fallout 4, but same story. PC is 29 bucks, while digital download is a whopping 60 bucks.

I know people who have this for PS4 and love it, but can't speak for the XB1 version so be sure to read reviews.

https://www.amazon.com/Collective-Minds-Xbox-One-Mod-Pack/dp/B07H4MPJ5X

I would like background music so I was wondering If I could do this with this headset and mix amp bundle.

Link: http://www.amazon.com/ASTRO-Gaming-A40-Headset-MixAmp-Xbox/dp/B014H2T84K

xbone controller works fine with a pc. need to either:

1. get a wired one
   
   or
   
   
2. get a wireless one and the wireless usb connector. both are 20-30 usd on amazon

I’d suggest two options, you could buy the PS4 Onyx Controller or it’s 2018 now so almost anything is now possible like this.. An Xbox to PS4 Controller Adapter .. It’s an Xbox battery pack that allows you to use your Xbox Controller wirelessly on PS4/Switch/PC..

You can get a wired Xbox controller for $25

The Logitech one is like $15.

You can then use it forever

You can get a combo of the controller with the play and charge kit, this the original model controller however.

https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00CMQTUY2

Also, they sell one for PC specifically now, instead of having to buy the play'n'charge kit in addition. Its slightly cheaper.

Microsoft-Xbox-Controller-Cable-Windows is $52.00 on Amazon.
[Controller with Play and Charge] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CMQTUY2/) is $69.99 on Amazon. Both are slightly under retail but not much.

you should use the strike pack from collective minds i use it and i feel its buttons are way better than the scuf ones, only down side is that the controller must be plugged in when you use it (PS4 XB1 )

Im going with the XO seven.

the amazon pages do a better job at explaining:


XO seven

xo four

one important difference is that one has surround sound and the other does not.

EDIT: I was wrong, more details HERE

But on Amazon right now you can get it for 30$ digital too!!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01EZB92QM/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483159190&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=gears+of+war+4+digital+code

Where did you get $460 from?

You can go on Amazon right now and get a 500gig BF1 XB1 bundle for $250, and Halo 5 is $18.

If you search on Craigslist or your local shops you can get it for even cheaper.

https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-S-2TB-Console/dp/B01GW3GM7I/ref=sr_tr_sr_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1465923393&sr=8-1&keywords=Xbox+One+S

Edition: 500GB

• 40 Percent Smaller Console.
  
• 500GB Hard Drive.
  
• 4K Ultra HD Video and High Dynamic Range.
  
• 1 New Streamlined Controller.

It's currently $24.99 on Amazon, as well.

Available on Amazon for $99.99 as well.

This kit includes:

• Rock Band 4 game
  
• Rock Band Rivals expansion
  
• Fender Jaguar Guitar
  
• Wireless Drum Kit
  
• Distortion-Free Microphone

Yup! That’s the one. Works flawlessly.

edit: link - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D12RPHX

So basically it's 299 for the small HD version? Amazon lists the 2 TB version for 400.

https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-S-2TB-Console/dp/B01GW3GM7I?ie=UTF8&qid=1465842545&ref=spks_0_0_2524975662

RoI comes up as CAD$39.99 for me:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-CA/store/p/Destiny:-Rise-of-Iron/C1CJBXDGPGN5

Are you logged into the Microsoft account? You know that it won't show prices unless you are.

Or get the Collection from Amazon for CAD$54.99:

https://www.amazon.ca/Destiny-Collection-XB1-Eng-Xbox/dp/B01K63R7EW/ref=sr_1_1_twi_gam_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1487995113&sr=8-1&keywords=destiny+collection

I wouldn't suggest a holder that has a built-in controller. You are talking about a MFi controller then and none of them have the number of buttons, joysticks as buttons, etc. as an Xbox or PS4 controller would have. Not all games will take advantage of the extra features of those controllers over MFi, but as soon as one game you play does you'll be kicking yourself.

So then your search is for a clamp of some sort to hold your phone onto the Xbox or PS4 controller. No experience with that but a quick search reveals they are out there, such as https://www.amazon.com/Controller-Phone-Holder-iPhone-Samsung-Huawei/dp/B07BF2H3CP

No get this https://www.amazon.com/Collective-Minds-Xbox-One-Mod-Pack/dp/B07H4MPJ5X/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1549044347&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=strike+pack+fps+dominator&dpPl=1&dpID=410VXmtN1fL&ref=plSrch

$30 and I enjoy these paddles more than my Xbox Elite

Walmart price matched it, so price match away!

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Battlefield-1-Xbox-One/51933802

Also Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/Battlefield-1-Xbox-One/dp/B01F9HMO9S

Not sure but I think it requires a wired USB controller. I got this one from amazon basics

I Got the code i gave away from amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Tom-Clancys-Division-Xbox-One/dp/B00DDXILBQ/ref=sr_1_1_twi_gam_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1456904631&sr=1-1&keywords=the+division

Amazon has digital download keys.

Also, you can buy it on the console within the store, or from the store on the Xbox Website
