Basically have your friend sign in on their xbox using your account details, set that xbox as your home, then sign out and sign back in on your account. You can then download for free all the games that your friend has bought. Do it vice versa and you can share all your games.
Me and my brother do this. He has his account set up as being in the US so gets the games for around £38 rather than paying the £55 the games cost in the UK marketplace.

Forza 4 is great, looks amazing drives great but does feel like a prologue. Horizon 2 is again very good but gets old quite quickly.

I played project cars on a fanatic at eurogamer and it was fantastic, released April 2.

Was it running on a PC? I keep waiting for more news on Fanatec bringing out a XbOne wheel.
Since this: http://www.fanatec.com/forum/discussion ... one-update
Nothing.

Think they must have console support now as Stu said in the assetto corsa thread that he's ordered some fantec kit now that it supports consoles

So having used my PS4 and ONE for a while, I think the xbox is better. The PS4 may have it edged for gaming but nothing you can notice. I really like the voice integration, the ability to run sky and power down the tv/system with the xbox. Plex is way better on the xbox also which I use heavily. Also the controller is much nicer (subjective comment but still)

Basically the way they cracked it is pretty simple (but unfortunately expensive).

You have to buy the new V2 Servo base with interchangeable wheels. The wheels contain the chipsets required for the consoles.

The only issue is right now, the V2 base is also invite only for either previous customers or partners of Fanatec.

I have only used the sky integration at my parents, but it was superb. Voice control is really just a cool feature, you wont be using it other than "xbox on", which may wear off, but is pretty sweet to use seeing as it also turns on your tv and sky box. Plus Forza pisses over driveclub which feels like a 2000's arcade racer.

Thank you for the link. They're being very vague;
People were asking us to make their wheels compatible to the Xbox One and Playstation 4 but if we want to make it official and legal then we need to follow the rules of the console makers and they clearly do not allow that.
...
We want to achieve compatibility to both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 and we are happy to announce that we already signed a contract with one of them. We will announce this product at the end of this year.

There is no mention , that I can find on the website, of which flipping console it works with! ARGH! The product purchase page for the v2 only says PC & PS3.
Anyway, at over €1000 for a set I'm out (under €500 for the best of the PC/x360/PS3 sets).

Once the license with the other is signed its easy as the chip will be in the wheel regardless.

Either way, its the best off the shelf wheel and for me its going on a PC based system anyway so its irrelevant. :lol:

If you're an EA Access member, you can try Battlefield Hardline for 10 hours from today. FOR what is essentially £3 for a month.
