Spooky Microsoft.

I tried redeeming an XBL live code today but it failed from console and from website. Got error 80150101.

Microsoft's own error explanation page was not very helpful: Error 80150101 occurs when you try to download content from Xbox Live.

I was thinking maybe I got scammed at eBay and I maybe got bad code from the seller ... I was doubting that, as the same seller has provided reliable service in past.

I wanted to contact MS support to look into this, when I found out at their support page, that it is not me, it is them. They are having major problem with accounts on different platforms:

So I am stuck being free member for now. :(

Update - 90 min later, the account is fixed, 3 months of gold status has appeared!!!

Just finished downloading Might & Magic Clash of Heroes (free for Gold Members from 1st till 14th October - regular price €14.39) and its free add-on: "M&M Clash of Heroes Advanced opponents!" :)

 

 

2013-10-07 - Slow day

Today was quite a slow day. Bought a new 3 month Xbox Live gold card, but did not play much on console.

• Did my daily moves in AlphaJax.
• Tried Doritos Crash Course for few minutes, but then had to leave the house.
• Spent maybe 30 minutes to get closer to 1000 points in Tron.
• Did few races and spent maybe another 30 minutes in IMPORT TUNER CHALLENGE

2013-10-06 - More of Ascend: Hand of Kul

Not much going on today than playing more Ascend: Hand of Kul

Got 3 new achievements and added 75 points.

2013-10-05 - Ascend: Hand of Kul

Got my hands on this new and free to play game today.

First impressions are pretty good! I like it. Reminds me a bit of Fable, as it involves a lot of running around in mystical world and battling enemies with swords and magic.

Got 125 achievements during first day.

2013-10-04 - Tron and WWE day

Today was quite busy day achievement-wise, I did score 30 easy points in WWE 12 and whopping 280G in Tron: Evolution.

I might shelve Tron for a while now as the only achievement left to do there is the "Evolved User" (Completed the game on the "Insane" difficulty level without changing the setting.) one ... But the downside of this achievement is that you can only select "Insane" after you have completed in on "Hard".

 

2013-10-03 - What a busy day

Today was quite busy day.

And that's both in life in and outside of Xbox - I had couple of recruiters contacting me with possible job offers. Nice if something good emerges from it.

Gaming wise I got multiple achievements in multiple games:

I played 5 different games, and got achievements in 4 of them. :)

30G in AlphaJax (Win 8)
30G in TC's RainbowSix Vegas
15G in Jetpack Joyride (Win 8)
0 G in Team Crossword (Win 8)
and
80G in Tron: Evolution

Not bad, eh? :)
