In the games & apps menu, select the cube for the game, press menu, select manage game. This menu will also let you choose which download is the active one. I don’t think the menu is smart enough to let you pick a true download order, though. To my profound annoyance, the XB1 was dumb enough to download the GWG version of AC4 all over again to internal storage even though there was a disc-based version of AC4 installed on the external HD. That’s not necessary, since the game should treat any installed game version as valid (when disc-installed games go into the EA Access Vault, they just start working without the disc).

Not everyone has 20+ gb of their download allowance to piss away because MS is lazy about such things. I know that Uverse starts tacking on $10 blocks onto your bill after the first 250 gb each month. That’s not a lot of XB1 games.

Was it somewhere special I was supposed to look at to see the games preview invite? I remember someone talking about it not being in an obvious place? Or am I being impatient ;-)

6431

No, you’ll have to wait for an Xbox Live message, then download an app, register, and then wait for the OS update. It usually takes around 3-5 days, but that depends on the elves at Microsoft.

6432

Ah, thanks! I appreciate it!

6433

Sweet, more Xbone owners, I’ll have to add you as friends - I’m divedivedive.

6434

Please do - otherwise I’ll try to add you, as soon as I figure out how!

This EA Access thing seems pretty nifty and rather cheap. Does anyone use it? And does it have any drawbacks?

6435

Wait…EA Access are DEMOES!!! And not full games? thats…not what I thought.

6436

I like it. But it depends on if you’re interested in the games in the vault (Garden Warfare, Peggle 2, Battlefield 4 and Titanfall springs to mind). The full list is here (and note that they’ll be adding Dragon Age: Inquisition soon too):

You also get to try new EA games before anyone else (I just tried the PGA Golf game), and you get 10% off any purchases. And with BC you’d hope they’ll be putting some 360 games eventually in the vault as well.

Not sure of any drawbacks, except you don’t own the games in the vault. So when you stop subscribing, you also lose access to those games.

6437

Any chance I could be invited to the preview program as well? =)

6438

I like EA Access a lot. It’s a really good value for me. $30 for a year, and the games they have are much more appealing to me than the $40 a year I paid for two years so far on PS+. I got Resogun, Don’t Starve and now DriveClub PS+ edition out of it, but if I’d bought those three games individually instead, I’d own them and would have spent less money. So subscription in each of these kinds of things is always dependent on what you think of the games on offer.

What are your Xbox Live names? Razgon and Ridah?

ELGUAPODC here.

6441

Yeah, but the card expires at the end of the year and I was afraid I would forget about it so I just took a chance on an exclusive.

6442

I’m Don Quixote. I’m in the preview thanks to Brakara, and can probably invite people.

6443

My XBL name is Yoseanda.

6444

I would like an invite please Reemul9 cheers

6445

I can’t find that gamertag.

6446

I just checked and it seems Reemul missed a space: “Reemul 9”.

I’m not near my XBox or I would do the honours.

Ooh ooh, do me. I’ve been looking forward to trying out the streaming so much, I’ve gotten the preview build of windows 10 and have been staring at it willing it to work. ‘mister bloo’. Much appreciated!

6448

Apologies I missed a space as Wendelius mention it’s Reemul 9
