I bought some turtle beach stealth 600 headphones to go with my new Xbox series x..but they aren’t the most comfortable. So my question is..

will the stealth 700 be worth the upgrade for £40 more?

any response ASAP would be greatly appreciated as I only have a few days left in my window for return at no additional charge.

Thanks guys!

Personally I find the 700s to be very very comfortable, but I’m sure a lot of it comes down to individual head/ear shape/size. The gen 2s are also a fantastic headset.

Boo, I want Halo 5 multiplayer to be 120 fps.

I can’t wait to revisit the trilogy with my kids playing coop

skipping COD again this year, so will dive into 3’s MP to get my FPS fix.

As we do not appear to have an AC Valhalla thread; does any body know if you order ubisoft if you get a digital code or the disc version? I want the digital code but if I purchase through the XBox store it costs $10 more and I can't apply the 20% discount that I can via the ubisoft store.

Seems to be a physical copy since it ships with UPS. Thanks for the heads up, forgot about the discount. With that discount I can get the gold edition.

Ah annoying, I'll be using remote play a lot and its a pain to go and put the disc in everytime I want to play a game rather than just load the game up... probably pick up the gold version from the store as its only $40NZD for the season pass; seems to be $63NZD for the other AC season passes.

I assume the disk/code will then add it to your digital library. It says smart delivery on the box, so I doubt we’ll need the disk.

Smart delivery still works with discs, it will only act as the serial key for the game and maybe contain both sets of textures in the disc for series S and X.

t@xman · 21 Oct 2020 at 12:53

Do we know if that means you'll need the disc in the machine at all times to play the game? Makes a bit of a mockery of quick resume if that's the case.

ic1male · 21 Oct 2020 at 12:57

I would be interested to know of (because I can't remember) a single game that has allowed you to play its disc version without requiring the disc at all times.

CaptainRAVE · 21 Oct 2020 at 13:05

That’s a good question, I’d like to know too. I assumed you wouldn’t need the disc in at all times.

Plainsong · 21 Oct 2020 at 13:14

We have always needed the disc in, I don't see why it would suddenly change. They'd have said by now if it wasn't the case.

Mariusz · 21 Oct 2020 at 13:22

We wouldn't need the disc in if they go the same direction as PC, ie a key...

Would kill off second hand market instantly.

CaptainRAVE · 21 Oct 2020 at 13:28

That makes quick resume a little pointless in many cases then unless you buy through the Xbox store I guess.

So you can download to console through the store, but then need the disc in to play?

You have to have the disc otherwise it won't load. Otherwise you could install and then sell off the game but keep playing it without the disc.

Yes, the disc is your license. If you buy it digitally you get a digital license.

CaptainRAVE · 21 Oct 2020 at 13:36

Makes sense, I’m too used to Steam. It’s a shame the console digital versions seem so overpriced.

eyetrip · 21 Oct 2020 at 13:37

If you get disc version, you need disc in.

If you get digital version, then you download.

Smart delivery as far as I know only means game automatically gets relevant next gen upgrades without having to buy/get anything separate.

Quick resume can still be handy - a lot of my games will come through fame pass, and I'm not likely to be focusing on more than one single player game at a time, so diac likely to remain in til done.
