I feel ya Tlef, I lost my very first account because of something similar. That was before the current subscription which is 9 years old. The AOL email I used 9 years ago has expired a few times and I was lucky enough to just recreate it.
Had that problem when I went from Xbox to XBox 360. I was on the original XBox Live beta and should have 12 years of service on it, but I forgot my info from the original account (my original GT was SlaX) and had to create the one I have now, of which I have yet to change the name. At least the original Xbox didn't do achievements, so I didn't have to worry about losing those.
No. Looks like I'm waiting until March to get my hands on this.
Beta is supposed to move to open beta as they are trying to stress test the servers. So I'm sure anyone with a One or PC that's capable will have access. Not sure if it's already available or will be tomorrow.
Yeah, I'll definitely be buying this one. PC for me, though. The only question is when. And I may wait for a price drop. I'm not really in a hurry to get it, but I am enjoying the beta.
About 6 of my friends are gamers and only two have gone into the next gen. We all were waiting for something to grab us and thought Titanfall fall was it. All of 3 days ago I learned they are releasing a 360 version and told my friends about it because we all thought it was one/PC exclusive. M$ most likely just lost 4 consoles purchases as we can now safely wait for a price drop or the next gears to come out...unless that hits 360 also.

Long story short, my group of friends and gf were waiting for Titanfall to get a xbox one. Two guys couldn't wait so now they may be waiting a lot longer, maybe to the next gears...if that doesnt come out for the 360.
It could have been a system seller but being X1 only would have limited sales of the game. I think they are perfectly happy if they sell 10+ million copies vs. 5 million copies as a X1 exclusive.
As a short term play, no question about it. They'll make more money. As a long term play, it MIGHT have made more sense to have it as an XB1 exclusive and move more systems. By showing that the latest and greatest game is still playable on the last gen systems, they'll encourage people to hold off on buying them.
The developer and publisher are happier with 10 million sales compared to 5 million sales. Microsoft would have been happier moving hardware. I know the two are closely related because Microsoft had to compensate EA for exclusivity, and the size of the check they had to write was obviously determined in part by just how exclusive the game was going to be, but looking back now I think Microsoft is probably wishing that they had struck a deal for an X1-only game.
I suck so hard at this game. I was hoping it would be easier than COD or BF, but I was wrong.
Oh well, can save the 60 bucks for a different game.
I found this interesting and possibly why MS didn't care that much if it was a X1 exclusive:
I'm getting a little better now with a Titan. For sure the Nuclear perk is a must for me. If you're getting double or triple teamed by Titans, greed for that "Titan Kill" pulls them in every time. Only for you to go nuclear and get a triple Titan kill. Sometimes more, since pilots will try to join in as well.
For me, the key to doing better with Titans has been being less aggressive with them. You want to feel invincible because you're in this big giant robot, but you're not. I generally stick to the outsides of the map and join in on Titan vs. Titan battles to lend support to my team's side of the battle, kill pilots trying to sneak up on my teammate's titan, or use the titan to rack up pilot kills. As long as you're not in the dead center of the action you can rack up a lot of pilot kills pretty quickly. They love to shoot their homing rocket at you and, after the first one hits, they'll show up on the radar. Just keep an eye on that spot and in a second or two they'll pop out to try and shoot another rocket, at which point you can take them down easily.
Where did you sign up? I thought it was just a random pick of X1 owners and we'd get a message about it automatically.
It was sitting in my messages one day. I guess I got lucky.
You could say this about half the things on the XB1. Clearly rushed to market, hopefully over the next year they'll get it all sorted out.
How can anybody not have expected that? It took them almost half the lifecycle of the 360 to release stable hardware.
I'm going to try picking it up tonight. I might not fire it up though until the weekend. Middle age sucks for gaming.
I sucked donkey balls at this game in the beta. We'll see how the real thing goes - will have time to do the training now as I never figured out how to use the Titans.
