What are "Avatar Items" in Xbox Store?

https://www.xbox.com/en-us/Search?q=pinball search result in Xbox Store.

In forums they call profiles pictures avatars. But when I look at the cost of that, I think it's more than just a picture.

You can create an xbox avatar using the Xbox Avatar Editor app

To create a new avatar
1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
2. Select My games & apps > See all
3. Go to Apps and select the Xbox Avatar Editor app.
4. Select an avatar, and then customize it however you like.
You can then use this avatar to create your gamerpic for your xbox profile.

In other words, this is more than just a profile picture. It's an interactive model person that you can create as you see fit. You can choose skin color, hair styles, eye color, clothing, accessories and more. It used to play a larger part of the xbox ecosystem then it currently does.

According to this Xbox Support page: To access your Xbox Live account and other Microsoft services, you need to know the email address and password you used to set up your Microsoft account. Xbox Support can’t provide this information, even if you know your gamertag. But don't fret yet. Here is something you can try: Press the Xbox symbol button (middle of the controller) Navigate to Settings Click on Account Management Scroll to Account Security (Source) At this point, the email associated with the account should be displayed. This will at least get you the email address used but unfortunately does not get you the password. Getting the password can be near impossible, since password resets require you to have access to the email addresses services. You can try contacting the email provider and asking for a password reset, but its unlikely that they will not do this for security reasons.

Xbox Live Silver is enough to buy and download DLC and other items from the Xbox Live Marketplace. This page on the Xbox website explains the additional benefits of Gold membership. Although that page's summary of Xbox Live Silver doesn't explicitly mention DLC, I can confirm that it is possible to purchase DLC (like Season Pass content is) with only Xbox Live Silver. Do note that if the Season Pass comes with content that is multiplayer-only (such as new maps for a competitive multiplayer game), you may need Gold in order to fully utilize it. For instance, if you bought a Halo 4 season pass with Silver, you could download the new multiplayer maps and use them in LAN or split-screen, but not actually play them versus other people on the internet without shelling out for Gold.

No, this is actually a bad idea. Developers from id Software outlined that it will have no advantage in doing so. Additionally, it will actually prevent you from playing Doom I+II which come with that game. Source

Well, i wouldn't help someone either who broke into my house in the night. For everyone encountering a similar problem: Wait until he is in his shop in the middle of the village. There you can talk safely to him. Alternatively, you can always speak to him in the evening, when he is near the stone circle north east from the village.

It is currently not possible. Backwards compatibility is only for these games: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/backward-compatibility/available-games If MS makes the 360 version of Minecraft backwards compatible, it will be possible. But then you'll have to buy the XBox 360 version of the game to play on your XBox One.

Assuming it is overheating, and before spending money on an external device, see if the tips Microsoft provides about placement of your Xbox help: Put the console in an open area with lots of ventilation. Do not put the console in an enclosed space. Do not stack other electronic devices on top of, underneath, or against the sides of your console. Make sure the console and its power supply are on a hard, steady surface. Do not put the console on anything soft (such as a bed, sofa, or rug). Position the console away from heat sources, such as ventilation openings on televisions and electronic devices. Also, keep the console away from heating vents and direct sunlight. Position the console away from high-vibrating sources, such as low frequency speakers, subwoofers, etc. And whatever you do, absolutely do not place your Xbox next to a picture of Clippy:

So I've tried a few things and got the sound working at an acceptable level. In short, amplification is required... I found an interesting question, and very detailed answer over on Super User The answer talks about a Java app called Audio Compressor & Limiter. With the help of the guide in the aforementioned answer, I managed to get audio at a usable volume (though with a noticeable hiss) by connecting the RCA out from the Xbox directly to the line in on my sound card (via an RCA to 3.5mm jack adapter). The sound level from software amplification alone is only just usable, so I decided to take a chance on an RCA Pre-Amp. I found this one on amazon, designed for use as a pre-amp for turntables, and it was well worth the risk. One end is connected to the RCA output on the Xbox and the other connects directly to my PC speakers. This setup requires volume control on speakers and the volume is not going to split any ears, but it's fine for me. Also, the combination of Pre-Amp and Audio Compressor & Limiter should stretch my speakers to their limits. I hope this helps someone

Sorry but the only sure method is "just don't do it." Either make sure the object in your off-hand isn't easily used by right-clicking or don't right-click anywhere where it would result in using it. For example, if you carry a lantern, whenever you right-click, aim at an invalid location, somewhere where your lantern won't attach - empty air, a wall block with no blocks underneath or above, a top of a non-full block on which it can't be placed. Remembering about doing so is quite tricky.

Doing a quick GameFAQs search for the relevant game shows that it does not have any data available for EU. Looking at the release data for the previous game shows a release gap of about three months between US and EU. It may be that it's just not released yet.

On the Rockstar website regarding transfers you can find this: "All earned in-game money will transfer. Purchased in-game money that has not yet been spend will only transfer within a same console family (e.g.Xbox 360 to Xbox One)" I'm pretty sure this includes cash. But even though I recommend putting all your cash on your bank account before transferring, 'just in case' especially when you have a lot of cash.

This could entirely be an issue with Xbox Live's Servers/your connection to them/your ISP and Data Caps (if any). Check Here for current Xbox Status and unfortunately you'll need to contact Xbox Support for true diagnosis of the full issue. Steps I know they will make you do: Unplug Router and Modem for 60 Seconds Plug in Router and Modem Retry download. Other Steps Verify that you have ports listed here open and forwarded to your Xbox's IP ( Consult this link for info on how to do this.) Clear your Xbox's Cache After those the only other thing I can think of is do you have enough Hard Drive Space for your game? Good Luck! All links are to spanish/Ecuador links, If you want to view them in english please click the ones below: Xbox Live Status Xbox Support Contact Xbox Live Ports Port Forwarding Help (List of Routers) Clear Xbox Cache

OK, I'm going to set the record straight here since I know quite a bit about this topic. Modern advertising has confused the masses in regards to Hz.. so here it goes. All consumer grade HDTVs (that I have seen so far) do not accept greater than a 60HZ input - meaning - that 60fps is the highest framerate you can achieve on a modern HDTV with vSync enabled. Now that we have that straight..... Where things get tricky/confusing is when manufacturers advertise 120HZ, 240HZ, 480HZ, etc. The input signal is still 60HZ. (blu ray movies technically run at 24hz, but we're not talking about that) Notice that each of those defined HZ above are multiples of 60HZ. What's really happening is this: HDTV manufacturers have engineered software that interpolates motion. Motion interpolation software takes information from frame A, and frame B, and averages the brightness and color coordinates in each frame to create a third frame between the two. Middle frames are new. They were never recorded as part of the original content. This makes the picture look very smooth, but is BAD for gaming as it's causes input lag and response lag. So to answer your question, 60HZ is best for gaming. What's more important for gaming is your pixel response time, which you can check for several TVs here: http://www.displaylag.com/display-database/ Also, you might try connecting to the HDMI (DVI) port on your TV. Head over to http://www.displaylag.com/display-database/ and set your filters to the following: Set the size to the screen size you'd like to have and start checking prices. (it will link directly to Amazon) You want to pick a TV that has a Great or Excellent rating. If the prices are still above $950 then drop down to the next smallest screen size and check prices again. Keep repeating this process until you find a TV with a Great or Excellent rating that is $950 or under. Good luck!

The Damage tag holds the metadata value of the item: /summon ItemFrame 2019 32 1060 {Facing:3,Item:{id:"minecraft:skull",Damage:5,Count:1}} Since 1.8, you should not have been using numerical IDs in NBT data. Since 1.7, using numerical IDs in command syntax presented you with a warning to not use name IDs.

I think what you would like to do is device dependent, meaning even if you set the color scheme on the PC it will reset on xbox, because the setting is not saved on the controller, just on the PC. Because of this, setting the color, I guess, could be possible with an app from the Microsoft store: Razer Synapse for Xbox, although that is for Razer Wolverine, maybe it will work with yours too. The razer synapse software, that you use on your pc is for windows only. The app from the store though should do the thing. I never used razer products, but have an illuminated keyboard, that has a separate button for setting the light. In which case, the settings are actually stored on the controller, keyboard, etc.. Maybe check if such a button exists on your razer items?
