thought this would go best in the club forum playas
look at all the updates the dashboard update brings :D lots aint it
2 of my favourites are divx and mp4 support and the xbox live updates including, downloadable classic xbox games and the improved xbox live marketplace blade with a news part and small improvements

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/systemupdates/20071204-features.htm

tell me how people find the improvements im sure glad i have a xbox 360 now

oh and i can now sync from my pc using a router there was a problem that i had the pc connected via wireless but the 360 plugged direct into the router all i did this time was set up media sharing via media player 11 and then connected to xbox live did the thing on the 360 sets it up oh you have to have sharing enabled in the windows firewall also

Halo3 would get you $40 at least online, Even more if almost new (complete packaging, no scratches).

KieranD

12-04-2007, 01:28 AM

wish i could get halo 3 for $40 thats £20 over here and xbox 360 games over here are £40/£35 brand new

thats about $60-$80 a lot for one game

Just wondering, does anyone know how much a game store (like GameStop or EBGames) will take for trading in Halo 3? I'm bored of it...really bored of it. Yesterday was the first time I played it in a long time and it's nothing anymore...and I'm considering trading it in.

I got $35 for mine the other day.

I'm pretty sure it's voiding the warranty. And besides, the Xbox 360's that you send in to repair go to other customers when it's fixed. You don't get your same 360 back (not likely), you get a refurbished.

HookeyStreet

12-09-2007, 09:46 AM

man, my 360 just.died, I was playing oblivion and it froze and when i reboot the lights were red, man this sucks

I don't think I can send it back because I painted it, anybody got any ideas on how you can fix it when 3 of the lights are red

M$ would fix it for free because youve modified it (but then again, if you havent actually opened the casing.....)

Trying to fix the RRoD yourself is pointless. Becaus eit is possible to do, but then the problem comes back a week or so later anyway :(

You could always buy a standard replacement casing off ebay, switch them over, then return it to M$ ;)

Replacing the case won't work. If they see that the seal is broken, then they'll send back the 360 not repaired.

anyone played Soldier Of Fortune: Payback? the original 2 were the best

anyone played kane and lynch i havnt but was interested in it wanted to see if it was any good before buying coz it that or mass effect

edit : youd have to open up the replacement case and i doubt it would have a seal on it tbh it would be hard work trying to fit together a xbox 360 really truly not worth modding at all

Because of the paint man, your A$$ed out, sorry to say. I know people like to mod things and make them their own, but to really say, websites like Decalgirl.com are here for a reason. M$ gave us 3 years just because and that means on anything that will make it RRoD.

I feel sorry for ya man. That has to really hurt. How did you have the paint done up for it?

Your totally right on the replacement case. The sticker is there and there for that reason... But, because of the system being fried, maybe trying some way to get the sticker off to re stick it might work...

I haven't played any of the Soldier of Fortune games but I was sadened to the fact that CoD 4 was so short... If its any better on time I'd like to get it. Kane and Lynch on the other hand isn't a game I want to touch. I've seen the game play and watched people play it. I dis like the game, and it's not worth it.

Thats not exactly true m8. Ive returned at least 4 consoles (one of my own and others for friends) and all have had the seals broken! But all have been fixed for free and returned to me ;)

Cold Storm

12-12-2007, 12:38 PM

How's that possible... or is it the fact that you send it to the england branch and they just want systems to sell there? Now that you say something like that, it makes me to think that if you mod the outside (paint it) then there should be no reason to refuse it... you didn't mod the inside... I guess then try and RMA it

To all you halo guys, skip the map pack. Default configs are decent, and forge maps will be better but they are not worth the $10 they charge...Not to mention being alone in a server.

It looks like Mad Catz is about to release a HDMI-kit for older Xbox360 consoles without HDMI port. No miracle here (those older 360s without HANA chip can't output a digital video signal), it's similar to XCM's HDMI cable for regular Xbox360s ... they convert the analog Xbox360 output to a digital signal, but the Mad Catz device comes with full 1080p support:

http://pictures.xbox-scene.com/xbox360/madcatz/hdmi-conveter.jpg

HDMI port on your HDTV or receiver but not on your Xbox 360? Problem solved with the Mad Catz HDMI Conversion Kit. Now you can finally play your 360 games the way they were meant to be experienced: in true 1080p HD. Simply plug the adapter into the A/V port on the back of your 360 and run the included HDMI cable from the adapter to your HDTV and you're ready to play. The optical audio port provides an alternative setup solution and everything you need to get full HD output from your Xbox 360 is right inside the box. Convenient, simplified HDMI connectivity makes the Mad Catz HDMI Conversion Kit the ideal choice for getting the most from what your console has to offer. Mad Catz promises innovative, quality products for all your gaming needs.

hey guys, I'm debating buying a 360 bundle from a guy over at [H] but I'm worried about it being banned from Live
I've asked him to take pics of it logged into live for verification but he says he doesn't have an account, the only option I can think of is trying to give him an extra $9 to buy a month of live for the pic

does anyone have a better idea?

Azn Tr14dZ

any better ideas? :)

Cold Storm

01-02-2008, 07:03 PM

I never heard of the fact that the xbox it self would get banned... I thought it was just the Ip address....
I'd spend the 9 for him to make a account for you for one month... but... they give you a free month if you bought the xbox.. so if he hasn't used live... then have him see if he can do that.. if not then go with the 9 dollars... if its ban then your money won't be taken out... and if it isn't then you got your first month

Edit: I found this... http://www.360mods.net/News/article/sid=106.html and its said if the x box has been mod... so I guess you are right...
I also found this.. and i think you'll have a good laugh http://kotaku.com/gaming/crime/terror-fears-ban-xbox-360-ps3-ds-from-jails-298082.php

Why not just get him to make a Sliver live account and take a picture of it saying, "Name has signed into Xbox Live", or a picture of him in the list of game demos or something like that. I don't think you can do either of them if you've been banned from Live, but you'd have to check to be sure.
My Xbox 360 was used, it was premium so it had wireless controller, remote, hard disk etc.. and it also came with quake 4, oblivion and gears of war, it still had reciepts and was under the 1 year warranty and as soon as that ran out, they announced the 3 year warranty. I paid like $150 (Australian Dollars) less then just the CORE console is in retail.

not sure what you mean by registered but i know if all my games had been scratched due to a fault with a 360 id tell Microsoft and demand a compensation for all my games and demand a new console because it broke all my games then id try to get something like a years free live outta deal what id do is save all my shit to a memory card and then get it sent away it takes only a few weeks to get fixed or a replacement sent out

if it was only 7 months old it might a had a defective disk drive from manufacture

Guys a more serious question i need to know decent xbox live games except for team fortress im getting on pc, cod 4 i have on pc and rainbow 6 vegas i already have, oh and im looking for shooters FPS and 3rd

Any help on the other question about the access points would be appreciated.

kool, i'll call micosoft and give them shit. i bought the elite when it first came out. 700 bucks on a system and it scrached all my games, i bought a ps3 on boxing day and i love it, quiet, freeonline, sexy looking. dont get me wrong, i'm not h8ing on the 360, its just that is sony or nintendo made their systems without have'n any problems with them. i hope the 360 2.0 fixes the real problems with the system.

okay but that 360 2.0 as you call it is already in the mix you cant tell if its a newer 360 tho without looking inside it either opening it up or looking through the sides with a torch

it has a smaller cpu for less heat and power usage better cooling a quieter dvd drive

sorry but you might want to back up you profiles to memory card

and you need to get the number to call from the xbox website

trust me you wont regret getting it fixed and staying with a 360

Just in case you guys didn't know, Bill Gates is going to announce news next week at CES. There's a big chance that's it's a new Xbox 360 SKU, with a larger hard drive and a built in HD-DVD Drive.

its just that is sony or nintendo made their systems without have'n any problems with them..

I know that the PS3 and Wii are MUCH more reliable then the Xbox 360 but me individually have had more trouble with my Wii then my 360. My Wii, every time you put a disk in, and my discs have no scratches, it just reads it contently and makes big noises, you have to eject the disc so it says, "please inserts {game title} disc" and then put it back in to make it work, and my Wii has never been mistreated, I treat all my games and consoles with great care.
Oh, and just so you know, I'm not an Xbox Fanboy saying that 360's are more reliable coz I know there not and I am a Nintendo Fanboy if anything.

I don't think so, the MS Branded one is the only one that the Xbox 360 recognizes, which sucks for people like you and me because I really want to go wireless. It sucks having to have an Ethernet cable from my Xbox 360 to PC, then bridge those connections and go wireless from my PC to my router. $100 is a lot of money just to go wireless.

People keep saying the PS3 is too expensive, which I though too but when you think about it, built-in WiFi, Bluetooth, Blu-Ray player, larger hard drive. It's better bang for the buck.

i think having 2 models would be easier there is more need for a hard drive now so id just drop the arcade

id have a premium and elite have the elite have a larger hard drive
maybe throw in a memory card for nothing

maybe have a built in wireless adapter or a free one on the elite

i dunno just 2 versions is enuf an arcade isnt needed its just a waste of money i think it was trying to compete with the wii coz its near the wiis price point

Do people here think that the motion sensing controller will be like the Wii Remote? I was thinking it would more be to compete with the PS3's Six Axis.

Joshmcmillan

01-07-2008, 10:27 PM

I like the Wii's motion sensing controller. I agree it is bad in some games, especially ones that came out at the start of it's release. But some games use the remote really well.

I'm not sure what they would do with an Xbox 360 controller with sensing like the wii's. So I would guess it would just be tilt sensing.

Is anyone getting Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 or is it just me coz all everyone plays on the 360 is COD 4 and i dont coz its all hype, kinda like a COD 3 it even has those plasticy Doom 3 graphics! but everything wrong with COD 3 fixed up.

Anyway Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 anyone i only hope they have Calypso Casino Attack and Defend in it and some really nice Sharpshooter type maps.

I'm with you on the fact that COD 4 got the biggest hype of this year and being as it is... I just am hooked on anything tatical. But, every time i go to gamestop I forget that rainbow 6 is out there... I'll tattoo the games name on my forehead so I remember!

KieranD

01-14-2008, 04:16 AM

thanks COD 4 is a decent game just not that good its like it was the original Half Life or summit or the graphics beat Crysis or Bioshock

Do you play Ghost Recon 2 as i loved that game when i borrowed it its prolly cheapo as well so i might actually buy it

Rainbow 6 online is good you will want to reach elite so badly. Most people play sharpshooter(deathmatch) or attack and defend where you have to get a case/intel and take it to the extraction point (you get extra points if you score the intel at the last few seconds of the game) you prolly heard about it anyways.

01-14-2008, 09:52 AM

its not that i dont like cod at all its just a not bad game that has been over hyped to make it seem like the best fps of all time even tho there are better ones like bioshock graphic wise and half life 2 story wise and crysis game play and physics wise

if you get rainbow 6 vega which i reccomend you do ill add you and play a match or 2 with you online

rainbow has been said to have crappy graphics but its a year old and isnt as shiny as COD 4 im still trying to get to elite to unlock all the weapons and armour and ive had it for a year but mind you i only been playing it regular for about 3 months

Well while I agree slightly. Yes, CoD4 doesn't have the best storyline, it's very very short, and the physics aren't up to Crysis standards. But the graphics aren't "plasticy" it's just another example of companies overdoing post processing.

But the multiplayer experience is what everyone goes on about. I don't have it for the 360, but the PC, and it IS one of the best online FPS games.

KieranD

01-14-2008, 10:34 AM

theres nothing to COD 4 multi player i have it on pc and i hated playing it on xbox 360

its just has no depth you just run around killing people not even trying to look out if your going to get killed or having to constantly think one step ahead of the enemy

there are some games like unreal that are a frag fest great its supposed to be like that at least it engages the player like oh damn i just got killed oh theres a vehicle

COD 4 is just gun em down and rank up which is really easy i allways come at least in the top 3 of a round in COD 4 WTF you can survive a bullet but you cant get killed in one hit with a knife it should be getting knifed once drains you health slowly

its atmospheric in the game but it felt like i just had to run o place to place or the guys would just keep coming and i felt like i was the only guy doing the work in singleplayer i had a whole frigin army behind me but i kept having to move up

okay your supposed to feel like a whole army of terrorist is attacking you but i kill a few enemy in a spot i want to run too fine repeat untill i get to the end of level but NO this time 5 dozen new guys spawn and take over the area i just cleared out come on it dosnt take 7 secs for new guys to reinforce a position

its a good game its just to in our face with the graphics they should be gritty and real
it should be like your invilved in a war not you are the war in COD 4, i look at COD 1 as the benchmark for all COD games and COD 4 is just 3 and 2 combined

its decent but just not THAT good d oyou understand yes i played single player enjoyed it but that was it i was like wtf thats it

there are better multiplayewr experiences like Rainbow 6 or Unreal tournament maybe Unreal dosnt have the physics of COD and Rainbow dosnt have the graphics but both actualy involve the player you feel part of the game and online its the same feeling

KieranD

01-16-2008, 01:00 PM

i got my zoom gamepoint wireless adapter up and running i would recomend it to anyone who dosnt want to pay Microsoft shockin price for the networking adapter

all you have to do is go to network properties enter a ip and subnet in the manual in order to get the adapters setup on and then enter an ip address into a webrowser change the wireless network setting like security ect to match your network then logout go back to the network properties make it all auto config again unplug the ethernet and try it in the xbox 360

it works like a dream considering it was only £27 including shipping problem is that i got the version that only has wep key support the newest one has wpa and wep support tho just make sure its the newest one i just changed my wireless to wep key security

I don't want to start a console war, but I was thinking of selling my Xbox 360 and getting a PS3 instead. I really like 360 but I can't afford to have both.

Can people say the best things about 360 over Ps3? Like upcoming games etc.. Just so I haven't forgotten about anything big that would change my mind.

Snipe343

01-27-2008, 09:58 PM

PS3 has a lot of good upcoming games like mgs gotp, gta 4(also for 360), same for devil may cry 4, PS3 does have a lot of value being a blue ray disk player also. But 360 has some good upcoming games also, so its really just what you think you would like more

Im planning on getting a PS3 soon but i would never get rid of the 360, both consoles have there hits

Well I had a PS3 for 1 day, nuff said :roll:

How Come you only had it for 1 day? Didn't like it or did it break? One of the main reasons I want to get a PS3 over 360 is probably the reliability. I understand that 360 is very unreliable compared to the PS3. I would barely use the PS3 as a blue ray player other then to play blue ray games, lol.

well man, what type of games do you play???

I play most games. lol. I really like racing games like Gran Turismo. Even now the PS3 has GT HD Concept and GT Prologue both for free. I know I like F1 and Motorstorm on the PS3. I also like first person shooters, I will probably get Resistance Fall of Man if I do get a PS3. Oh, and Calling all Cars on the PS Shop. It's fun too.

PS3 has a lot of good upcoming games

Out of upcoming PS3 games I think I would like Metal Gear Solid 4, GTA4, Gran Turismo 5, God of War 3 and maybe little big planet.
360 has Gears of War 2, Fable 2 and Banjo Threeie. GOW 2 and Fable 2 will likely both come out on PC eventually and I didn't REALLY like the original 2 banjo kazooie's.

like I told you its in my opinion. and yes Forza. I'd heard more about forza in gaming websites after it being out then gt4. I've owned both also and I gave up gt4 faster then anything... fastest game I gave up and thats something else since most of my ps2 collection was racing of all types..

They screwed everyone that has a 1080p tv that uses component. I use to have a premium with only component out and after a update last year it stopped displaying full 1080p. I swapped out my 360 for one with HDMI (you got to love best buy's extended warranty) and that fixed the problem. The stupid techs at Microsoft were trying to blame the problem on my TV like if it never displayed full 1080p before the update but that was a lie to cover up for their update. I also got back 50.00 dollars because the price went down. Woot woot!

Freaksavior - I used to work at Best Buy. How do you like it? I think the training system is a joke. From my experience, you should never ask a Best Buy advice or technical questions because they'll just give you their oppinion, as BB doesn't really teach you anything. I worked in the DigiCam department. I had to learn everything myself!

In the united states, it is one of the big electronic stores where you can buy anything from computer parts, music cd's, video games, anything a/v, and house hold appliaces (microwave). you can ether go to their store or to www.bestbuy.com and buy what you want. Also to note, the website handles more of what you want compaired to the retail store its self.

It'll take a week before they get it in, and then you might not get it since they can rent out the game the day before it is suppose to come out... so whats the point?!?!

what are your opinions on the disparity between using component cables and HDMI on a 1080p LCD? I'd like to only hear feedback on this from those who actually have tested / can test the difference
I'll be purchasing a 1080p LCD this summer probably with Wedding money :D and I want to know whether it'll be worth it to try and trade my non-HDMI premium system + cash for an HDMI premium

well i know for a fact that hdmi is an improvement over component hd and hdmi is really for those really good tvs i mean sure it has a small difference on those cheaper hd tvs but it really comes into play at 1080p and 1080i it is good for hd dvds also i do not have a hd tv tho so im just saying what i have been told

selling you gamertag is useless i know for a fact that people can do hacks/cheat to get a high gamerscore
also gamerscore is pointless it dosnt do anything i mean you complete the higest difficulty because the others are to easy or you want a challenge not for an extra 20g
most of the challenges are easily done some harder some add to the game but i never brag about my score i just do a challenge if it is cool or if it would be something id enjoy or adds to the game

If my guess is correct its the fricken Japanese and chinese peoples fault. Isnt that where all the 360s are manufactured and repaired? Well seeing as how those dumbass chinese and japanese people dont give a dam for Halo it wouldnt surprise me if they thought it was just worthless scribble.

Your right. Of course you wont be kicked from XBOX LIVE for changing the consoles casing (the 360 doesnt have a sensor inside it to detect this) Ive changed the casing on my system (to a black one like the Elite) and mines fine.....but if you return the console for repair you will need to put the original case back on ;)
