Try opening the xbox live ports on your routerplease help me with my NAT
find your routers IP address, usually 192.168.1.1 (different depending on make and model, usually can be googled if u dont know) put it in your address bar, the username and password is usually admin//admin. go into firewalll and put your 360's IP as the DMZ host. You can find your 360s IP but testing the connection of xbox live, then pressing Y or X whens its done for more info or something like that. done and done

do u know what u did to get it back to normal

Fable 2 CE

am I the only one who is excited about the new improvement on the CE of Fable 2? because I never wanted any of the cards or the figures all that much. :P all I wanted was the in-game extra content. AND it's been lowered down to $69.99 now! :D am I the ONLY one who is excited???Fable 2 CE
Well I am and I'm not. I really wanted the nice tin case that came with the CE. I mean isn't that the whole point of a CE of a game? This had best not be a prelude to what the game will deliver.Fable 2 CE
well, I know special stuuf is the point, but it just wasn't THAT appealing. all I wanted was extra content. and paying $80 was exactly ''great'' lol

    Dose the Xbox 360 arcade model came with hdmi cables and do they over heart easily like the eariler models of the xbox 360 when the launchedXbox 360 Arcade model
    The Arcade model comes packaged with A/V cables, but they have a HDMI port. And no they don't over heat easily like the original 360's from launch.

    I'm confused, how would connecting your PS3 to your router help you connect your 360? Your router does have ethernet ports? If so you should just get a real long ethernet cable.

    How is Silent Hill Homcoming?

    IS it worth buying or should i just get Dead Space.How is Silent Hill Homcoming?
    It's an excellent survival horror game, but since you have a Gears of War avatar, I think you may like the story and atmosphere of Dead Space more. :) It's going to be one heck of a game, too.How is Silent Hill Homcoming?
    It is great, probably not worth a buy, maybe a rent. Story is good, gameplay is good, but combat is a little too easy with combos and counters, makes the enemies feel weak,.
    What is the length of it?
    Please don't get it unless you have played the others in the main series.
    What is the length of it?
    Standard CD legnth is about 5'' or soemthing.
    [QUOTE=''sparda012'']What is the length of it?[/QUOTE]

    Well it took me 3 - 4 days to complete and now i can't wait to get back and play it again on hard and collecting the stuff i missed on my first playthrough ....the game is simply amazing and the story is fantastic , if not perfect...the ending left me speechless , adding also to that there are 4 other endings to unlock.;) [ and all have achievements with them.]

    Why put Code of Conduct on bio?

    I like looking at peoples bios while waiting for a room to fill up in Gears and I noticed alot of people put Code of Conduct instead of a name or slogan. Whats the deal with that?Why put Code of Conduct on bio?
    its after someone gets banned off xbox live, they automaticaly have that in there bio for a certain time :)Why put Code of Conduct on bio?
    What it means is that something in their bio was reported as breaking the code of conduct (racism, homophobia etc etc). MS replaces the offending bio with the words code of conduct.
    [This message was deleted at the request of a moderator or administrator]
    My friends have that all the time. but i never bothered to ask them what it was.
    Yeah, it's what Microsoft puts after someone get's banned.
    Thanks. I must have been playing with alot of bad people tonight cause code of conduct was everywhere.
    Either that or it's someone trying to appear cool by having that in their Bio.for instance you name is ''Not Entered'' as standard, but there is nothing to stop someone entering ''Not Entered'' as their name. Anyone can change their Bio to ''Code of Conduct''

  • 360 Hacker stopped my internet connectio ...

    Wow I played Halo 3 around 6 PM EST. and the opponents cheated by forcing one player to lag horrible. Eventually they lagged us out but they were a little to late because we had the lead and one player remained in the game. After the game a player threatened to kill my friend's internet connection and he actually did! He fried his hi-speed internet modem and then my friend called me and told me that Comcast said his modem burnt out. Since those hackers were in the party I asked if they did do that to his connection and the person admitted it then said to me, ''I'm gunna do the say to you know for asking questions... but for you AgileNate, I will be nice and only shut you off for 6 hours.... so good bye''

    Off went my internet connection(not just Xbox Live) my modem lights flashed. Both Comcast and Xbox Live support had no answers, I was SHOCKED at how dumbfounded Xbox Live Support was. Luckily for me the connection was only lost for 3 hrs(instead of 6) but my friend had to replace both his modem and splitters connected to the main feed in his house.EDIT: Here is the message he sent me while I was offlinehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qzBXAvLUg8 WARNING: Offensive language 360 Hacker stopped my internet connectio ...

    Yes its possible. And very easy if you have the right equipment and tech savy.....so dont piss me off
    Yup it is possible too bad for you though.

    Wow. I wouldn't want that to happen here.
    How can this really happen? For a start. wouldn't they need your IP address?

    Yeah can't say I'll miss the berserkers, if they are gone. I'd say the first berserker was a bit of a challenge for me but that was because he kept killing Dom, the other two were pieces of cake. I'm sure however some of the nasty things they are coming up with will more then fill the void. I really can't wait to curb a Theron Guard.

    I loved the Berserker's it would be a real shame if there's no apperience in Gears 2 for them. They might have been easy to kill but it was still a good part of the game. I'd be disappointed if one isn't in the new game.

    Xbox 360 headset doesn't work

    The New Ragdoll effect on Gears of War 2

    From all the footage I have seen of this ragdoll effect from smoke grenades it looks like your character gets up really slowly. I got a feeling that everyone will be wazzing smoke grenades at people to down them for a close kill. Well thats what I'd do lol.The New Ragdoll effect on Gears of War 2
    I havent seen it but if that is true it sounds annoying.The New Ragdoll effect on Gears of War 2
    yeah from what I have seen so far when a player went down he got back up real slow and I've got a niggling feeling that its going to be a massive annoyance
    Sounds quite annoying, but I'm still going to love this game.
    yeah I'm not dissing the game I'm so excited for this game I'm doing a lil wee right now lol If this game did'nt live up to its hype (it deffo will though) I would probably jump lol
    I think they gave the smoke grenage too much flexibility. It's not the concussion part I'm worried about, it's the fact it can be stuck to any surface, player, or thrown. So there's 10 (one for each player in a full match) on one map per round ... or more considering respawning type gametypes.
    this sounds like it can be very annoying a lot of my friends and get cheap kills of me and most of my friends are gettin this [url=http://profile.mygamercard.net/AdnanRaian][img]http://card.mygamercard.net/community/tbs/AdnanRaian.png[/img][/url]
    that actually sounds pretty annoying. but it's gonna be hella fun to do to other people lol. :D
    I haven't seen one video though where people have been over using it. Finally something to get all the camper out of there holes.
    i think the new smoke grenade will be great just cuz you can get campers out of there hole, it gives you an all new tactical option when defending your leader, and it'd just be fun as hell to knock someone down from the 2nd story of a building like on day one
    Gears of War 2 won't be very good. It's a rushed sequel just to get out in time for the holidays. It doesn't even look like an improvement over Gears 1. And the ragdoll sucks because they don't use Havok or Ageia. They use some cheap in game physics.

    Dead space a horror game

    Do u think dead space is going to be scarycause i dont think it isDead space a horror game
    I don't find games to be ''scary,'' but ''creepy.'' I think Dead Space is gonna be pretty creepy! :D can't wait. gonna get it on release, possibly! :DDead space a horror game
    it looks pretty scary to me.
    Its looks like it'll be a little scary.
    It looks like it will combined both scares and just down right creepiness in one big combined package.Also it's interesting that a couple of magazines I have seen has given this game 91% and even on UK's Bravo channel Play'r gave the game 9/10.
    hopefully it is.
    I don't think many people here will admit to getting scared by it.Dead Space looks like a Halloween cash in, that a month later will be flooding the used game section of your local store. Not worth getting at launch, but maybe worth checking out in a couple of months for half price.And no the day-one Master chief skin is not even vaguely tempting enough to make me want to spend double the money on it.
    [QUOTE=''Avenger1324'']I don't think many people here will admit to getting scared by it.[/QUOTE]If there was one bit which made me jump or actually creeped me out I will turn around and say ''There is one part in Dead Space which seriously freaked me out/scared me''.Thats me for you though.

    Halo3, CoD4 or GoW?

    Which should I get?Halo3, CoD4 or GoW?
    Singleplayer
    Gears of War

    Multiplayer
    COD4

    Single and multiplayer
    Halo 3Halo3, CoD4 or GoW?
    CoD4 was probably the best, but i thought halo 3's single player really stepped it up
    call of duty 4
    CoD 4
    Story: Gears of WarPure Fun with mates: Halo 3Serious Shooting: CoD4
    get CoD4 and wait for GOW2.screw halo.
    I'd say for overall fun factor definately Halo 3
    GOW
    get CoD4 or Halo 3. don't pick up GoW now, just wait for GoW2 to come out in a month or so
    Out of the three? well I still have Halo 3 but I rarely play it unless I have a friends over, COD 4 I played the single player through couldn't get into it the mult-player and traded it in. Gears of War I ended up putting the most time into to and still do put alot of time into it multi-player is awesome but takes some skill to get good at story is good too so my suggestion is Gears of War:)

  • Too late to buy a 360?

    Well, I have a Wii, but Im tired to see all those casual games. So Im thinking of buying a XBOX 360. Is it already too late?Oh, and BTW does the console break too easily? Cause I saw many cases of ''Red Ring of Death'' and this kind of stuff.Too late to buy a 360?
    um, no?Too late to buy a 360?
    No it's the perfect time to get one. They are cheap, and the newer models are far sturdier than the older ones, and the rrod is very unlikely with them.
    Nows the best time to get a 360 and yes, the RROD has been resolved. You shouldn't worry.
    Yes, its too late. If you buy a 360 now you'll never be able to catch up with current gamers...:roll:
    lol, why do people ask if it's ''too late'' ? You have all the games coming out this fall to play (Fallout 3, Fable 2, Gears Of War 2, Far Cry 2, COD World At War, etc.) and a huge library of past releases to play (Halo 3, Kameo, Codemned 1 %26 2, Bioshock, Gears Of War, Oblivion, Forza 2, COD 4, etc.)If anything, I wish I was in your position and just buying the 360 now. Then I could play through Halo 3, Gears, Condemned 1 %26 2, COD 4, Oblivion, Bioshock, and Forza 2 again completely new to them. Buy a 360 and some of the games I listed, and prepare for months of pure gaming joy.
    No it is not too late at all ,because you are going to get a lot of wonderful stuff.
    It's not i got it like...3 weeks ago and i love it!
    right now is possibly one of the best times to buy a x360.trust me you won't be dissapointed
    I got it a month ago. So it is not too late at all
    OK, you guys convinced me. Thx!
    I'm getting tired of these topics.Ever heard the phrase, ''It's never too late.''Buy it or don't, it's your choice. I recommend it./thread
    It's a great time to buy a Xbox 360 since the prices have been lowered lately, and you can get many great games for the console too.

    WHy would it be to late to buy a 360? The console isn't a durable as it should be, but it's not like they break down left and right. Last I heard they have a 30 % failure rate. I'd say it's worth the risks considering what games it has.
    It's not to late, especially because of the price drop. But yesterday I just saw my first red ring, and the system was only 2 days old!
    Its never too late to buy what you want =P. I think the RROD is resolved now.
    [QUOTE=''Darkrush000'']Well, I have a Wii, but Im tired to see all those casual games. So Im thinking of buying a XBOX 360. Is it already too late?Oh, and BTW does the console break too easily? Cause I saw many cases of ''Red Ring of Death'' and this kind of stuff.[/QUOTE]It's funny that you say that because that's exactly how I felt, so I bought a 360 a week ago. I got the 60GB for $300.

    Yeah I know, I haven't played a new Banjo game in years, and the use of vehicles should allow you to complete tasks in creative ways. Lets hope Rare can pull it off. And the graphics look stunning BTW.Banjo Preview

    Just got the RROD... some questions

    1) I decided to just send it in and not deal with any of the ''fixes''... they said it will take 2-3 weeks. How long have people experienced?2) Once they fix the XBox, is it fixed for good, or will the RROD return? I also heard something weird about them sending back someone else's refurbished Xbox... what does that mean, and is it true?3) The person I talked to from support wasn't too competent... can anyone briefly explain the shipping process? She mentioned something weird about writting my reference number on my shipping box and taping it onto the console?Also, I'm curious as to there is any rhyme or reason as to when this happens... I only ask because I tried to take really good care of my Xbox in order to prevent this... so the whole situation pisses me off.Just got the RROD... some questions
    So are you having them send you a ''360 coffin''?Just got the RROD... some questions
    1) My whole process (waiting for the box, shipping, waiting for it to return to me) took about 2 weeks.2)It could get RRoD again, there's no certainty in any product that it will work for good. Yes they do give you a refurbished xbox and they send you one from the same year that yours was manufactured, they at least did for me. So you send in an '06 console which is what I did, you get an '06 back. They repair the console you sent in and then give it to someone else, that's how it works. 3) All you do is call them or go to xbox.com and do it online so you don't have to worry about talking to anyone. They ship you a box with directions on what to ship. They give you tape and a shipping sticker plus styrofoam to secure it in the box. You just ship the console, no hd, no controllers, no cables, nothing but the plain console. Also, you should to write down your tracking number located on the shipping sticker.
    SO glad someone brought up this topic again.. I JUST got mine back from the RROD issue.. and well I can help a littleno they don't send people back someone esles refurbished xbox they actually open is it and do the repair, and sometimes they basically put u in a whole new machine depending on the condition.. that is what they did to mine mine is quieter turns on quicker and a few other good things, and the shipping is no big deal they I never had to do that either they will tell you that you have to get the box or they send you one.. but I had to go and buy my own box and stuff to ship it, and I had to print it out of an email they had sent to me and so I printed it out.. taped it to the box and packaged my 360 up nice and securely and sent it off and with in like 2 weeks I had it back
    the whole process took about week and half for me, but i used my own box. I got a new xbox 360 i think because my old one didn't have built in hdmi and the new one i recieved did it also came with the new lite-on drives so im assuming it wasn't a refurb.
    Thanks for all the help. Some follow up questions:1) I'm getting conflicting answers from you guys regarding the refurbished thing. I guess my main question is this: when you guys have gotten your 360 back, has it been in better or worse condition overall, beyond no RROD?2) I'm pretty sure I'm using my own box... so how does that work? When I called the person didn't even give me an option of a pre-done box... which is easier or quicker?3) Overall, have any of you experienced the RROD after the repair?4) Also, does anyone know whether this happens completely haphazardly or for a specific reason? I was, again, obviously pissed this happened, especially since I've taken good care of my Xbox especially to prevent this.
    Also, I assume that by taking out my HD my data and my Xbox live stuff isn't going to be affected? The person I talked to said something about my Xbox live being compensated in some way... anybody know anything about that?
    They took 11 days from the day I sent it away and they sent me a new Xbox 360!

    can the 360 be upgraded?

    like say adding an extra gig of ram or something? can the 360 be upgraded?
    Not at all. You could buy a bigger HDD, but that's about it.can the 360 be upgraded?
    It's not a PC, so no. You can buy a bigger hard drive though, but that's it.

    damm it... oh well thanks for the replies.
    You want an extra gig then buy 2 512MB memory cards.If you want over the 512MB to download a demo or DLC then no.
    Yeah, to some extent. Hard drive capacity is of course the main area of improvent for 360s, but if you know where to go/look, I'm sure there are ways you can improve the processing chip your 360 uses (i.e. the ''Falcon'' chip they now use with current models of the Xbox 360, which are supposedly better than their previous counterparts), or other processing aspects of the 360...

    Xbox 360 Arcade HDMI?

    Does the Arcade version of 360 have an HDMI-port like the Premium and the Elite? Xbox 360 Arcade HDMI?
    Yup, but it doesn't come with the HDMI cable like the Elite.Xbox 360 Arcade HDMI?
    Cool, then I might change my old 360 without HDMI to Arcade (yet, I would keep my HDD and other accessories).Thanks.

    Marketplace Rating Restriction

    I know this happened to me a while ago, but Im gonna say it now. So, I used to be able to download any demo I wanted. As of about nearly a year ago, I cant get M-rated demos. It says that I'm on a ''child account''. I understand what they're doing except one thing...my ''child'' account (that is, my original one) was set to Date Of Birth: **/**/1986...and now my friend tells me I can make a new Microsoft Live ID profile but all my gamerscore will go away and everything...does anyone know a way around this? Thanks a bunch.Marketplace Rating Restriction
    No you won't be able to access Mature content until your account realises you are 18. Some stuff might be available at 17, but I think there is a weird catch with what you can get.Marketplace Rating Restriction
    Same here, happened to me. So I have to use my brothers account to download stuff, and then save it on the harddrive so I can play it alsol.

    PES 2009 demo

    Seems like an improvement over 2008, few minor issues though. Has anyone else noticed there is a sound delay between scoring and the crowd cheering? Also doe's anyone know whether they are going to update the team rosters before release eg Berbatov for Manchester United?PES 2009 demo
    bumpPES 2009 demo
    Total disapointment once again from Konami, Would'nt pay 40pence never mind 40 Quid for this pile of crap!!
    i would still get fifa 09 over this actually sadly i still think its a decent game....
    i played both demos fifa and pes i kind of like pes better
    Heard only bad stuff about this game, so not wasting my time even downloading it. FIFA all the way as it is every year for me.And to answer your question about the roster, it will not be updated as it never is, they never take their time to change it although its always released after FIFA who manages to do it, so I dont see why they dont find the time to do it. Even the hardened PES fans I know have got FIFA and leaving PES this year.
    as most of you probably know i'm all about fifa but i do buy pes games still, although they never live up to expectations.this year they have improved it as you can see by graphics etc. but after playing fifa 09 today for 6 hours straight i am convinced that ea will take the title home this year.
    EA have won the title of best football game again 09 is honestly the best football game i have played on the xbox 360.

    I couldn't believe how terrible it was. The player's running animation is the same for everyone and it looks really unnatural. The game's totally unrealistic. BTW, I don't love FIFA 09 either. I'm quite content with 08 for the moment.

    finally found out the 1g on fifa 09

    o.k so that 1g achievement that xbox360achievements.org even didnt have has finally been found out. some guy on youtube put it up.most of you probly have the 19g for scoring in the 89th minute and thinking what stupid little thing do i have to do to get 1g.well actually this thing will take ages and should be worth 100g or maybe more.it's for playing 50 hours on the game. 50 whole hours for 1g. i'll get it some random day just through normal playing but still they should give way more.btw has anyone actually got it yet?cant believe the guy on youtube has clocked up 50 hours already unless he's a games writer and has had it for weeks.

    Xbox start-up help. =)

    Ive got a problem with my Xbox and I was wondering if anybody could help me with it before I just call Microsoft. OK so I turn on my Xbox and it shows the little Xbox logo thing, then it starts with the little opening credits with the name of the software company and then it just freezes up! I tried freeing up space in my hard drive, I unplugged all the cords, I tried different games but it just does the same thing every time. The rings on the power button don't flash or change colors or anything it just freezes up and I cant bring up the dashboard menu or anything.If you guys can help me or give me any ideas on what to do I would really appreciate it! :)Xbox start-up help. =)
    I am also having a similar problem, except mine doesnt even get to the dashboard before it freezes. I hope this is only temporary and wont end up with having to send it in.Xbox start-up help. =)
    Well I have looked around and I cant seem to find any solutions to the problem. Do you need to have the receipt from when you bought the Xbox to send it in? If so Im out of luck.

  • NBA 2K9/Live 09 new features question...

    I just read something in a Gamespot article that implied NBA Live 09's new ''NBA Live 365'' feature won't be free. I'm assuming everyone knows about this feature. Does anybody know more about this? Also, does anybody know if NBA 2K9's similar features (Live Rosters, et cetera) won't be free as well? I'm really curious and concerned because these features are the games' selling points for me. If they aren't free, then I most likely won't want to get either of the games.Thoughts?

    Both are free for these features. NBA LIVe 09 makes you pay $20 if you buy the game used or rent it . But if you bought it they give you a code and you can use the features for free. For NBA2k9 its free either way. Hope that helped.

    Too Human?

    I have been meaning to proprose this question. How is Too Human? I have heard many diffrent reviews. Please let me know!Too Human?
    I wasnt expecting much from Too Human but i was very surprised at how fun it was coop with a friend online.There are TONS of items to collection/armor, etc.. and you can also make your own armor and weapons.I think its very underrated. If you like Diablo type of games you might enjoy Too Human. I think it deserves a solid 8/10 imo.Dont let the bad reviews throw you off man Too Human?
    I haven't played it, but the average review it got from 64 reviews is 68.88%....I would never get anything below a 77% or so for full price.
    evereyone says that it sucks and i have already played the demo sometime ago and the controls are terrible very annoying actuallyi would never buy a game like that but that磗 just me
    It really is as lame as most reviews say it is. Avoid.
    its such a fun game you can have so many hours on it and still have fun
    I loved the game. there's tons of replayibility and collectables. :D
    I love the game. Tons of loot, and fun %26 intuitive combat.
    I liked it a lot, thought most of the reviews were very misleading. There's tons of items to collect, and tons of customization. If your a fan of Diablo type games, then this is a solid buy.
    I thought the demo was passible. Camera was the worst part, but beyond that I thought it was decent.
    i found it to be really fun, it got alot of replay value to it since your always getting new armor,weapons etc... for your character.
    Don't buy it what a waste of money and read the GS review 5.5/10 nuff said.
    [QUOTE=''KC_Hokie''] I haven't played it, but the average review it got from 64 reviews is 68.88%....I would never get anything below a 77% or so for full price.[/QUOTE] Though less than one month after release it is already half price which has to make it more tempting.I enjoyed the demo and love Diablo style games so will be getting this - I just have enough games to play at the moment. When I've finished more of what I have I will get Too Human
    Too Human is the flop of the century. Don't waste your money on that overhyped crap.
    Its a very good game. Co-op is really, realllly fun.Id get it. it was worth the cash
    I've just wrote a review of Too Human today - read it hereI would advised downloading the demo because if you dont like the demo you wont like the game, thats the best advice I can give.
    I've played through the game a couple times and spent many hours online and I find the game to be a very rewarding experience. It has some bugs and some missing potential, but seriously, anyone who bags this game either didn't bother to learn the combat (which is awesome) or just doesnt find any value in a loot heavy game. A previous poster said it best. many hours in, its still rewarding.

I'm pretty sure I beat the game in just under 10 hours with minimal problems and i despised Too Human. There really isn't a thing to get about the combat, seeing as it's broken. At many points in the game, I was rolling through enemies, at other times, combat failed and I found myself dying a couple times before I got back into it again. There is really no gun combat (since it blows and is rather pointless and boring) and sword combat doesn't focus on a great amount of skill besides finding the right place to push the joystick. The story is similar to reading the back of a cereal box, you only do it because you are bored during breakfast, just like Too Human, you only try to pay attention because you wasted 60 bucks. I on the other hand was able to buy it used over 2 weeks ago for $35 and sell it for $45... Got about 600 Gamerpoints thought!Seriously though, there are so many things wrong with Too Human (story, combat, character classes, horrible level design, bland graphics, lame characters, pointless treasure finding {you can beat the game without looting easily} and so much more), I should just stop now before I start writing a review with the number 4.5 posted at the top...Save your money unless you want the 600 gamerpoints and you have an interested party willing to buy the game from you at a markedup price...

    So it seems like everyone has a game that their friends rag on them for, but they just love to play. The first one I had was Viva Pinata, that game was so much deeper and way more complicated than any outside observer would have ever thought, and my other corny game I love is Earth Defense Force, I think that game is a ton of mindless fun to be had blasting through like 50 levels of giant ants and spiders, you can even play split screen with a friend.

    Over rated

    I just bought Oblivion and wow...how is this the GoY. Great it has nice graphics, then you push up on a joystick for 40 mins running through a field, and that is how you're introduced to the game. Not to mention the incredibly dull combat action. I like the idea of the game and want something similar but would prefer some action or some sort. I looked into Two Worlds but heard it was horrible.Over rated
    Actually it's amazing. Play it more.Over rated
    I really am trying, Im in Kvatch castle and i can hardly kill anything, Ill keep at it i suppose, or return it and wait for a new release lol.
    Maybe you didn't make your character properly or didn't pick the right attributes. The Oblivion board would help you out a lot.
    If it takes you forty minutes to run through a field then your stick is broken. Also pushing up on your stick won't help you kill anything. You have to swing your sword. Hope that helps. :D
    where can i find something to assist w/ building the character? and whats the oblivion board
    [QUOTE=''meatsawer'']where can i find something to assist w/ building the character? and whats the oblivion board[/QUOTE]The Oblivion forum is what I meant. There's a topic there about character creation.

    Yeh i got to the same part and without even thinking about it i sold it.

    Hmmm, Suspicious.....

    K well I've had my 360 for a bit over a year now bought it last september. So I had the warranty until the end of september right? Well on Septeber 28th I got 2 red rings which means it was overheating. So I let it cool for 4 days since I was going away anyway. Then when I got back It still had the same problem. I felt the back and it wasn't even the slightest bit warm! It's in the most well ventelated area in my house. I asked my friend if I could borrow his cooling fan and it didn't do anything. Why is this suspicious, well I called microsoft and told them about the problem and I'm getting a new one but my warranty expired 9 days before I called them so I had to pay 100 freakin bucks to renew my warranty. It's suspicous how my Xbox wasn't even hot and it just happens as soon as my warranty expires (Which was on the 26th). What do you think?Hmmm, Suspicious.....
    Clearly your 360 is out to get as much money out of you as possible.Or you could just be unlucky. Hmmm, Suspicious.....
    Hmmm, Coincidence.....
    I agree with MadSoldier -- you've been screwed :p
    Same happened to my old PS2. 3 days after the warranty ran out, it started acting up, scratching my CDs, and the front panel fell off. It's rather creepy.
    The old 360 were poorly build. Unlucky mate.
    sorry to hear TC you must stay strong lol joke.

    WET - Thoughts?

    I posted this in PS3 but since it was supposed to be for 360 I thought I'd post here too.Any thoughts on this? I think it looks sick. I heard it was shelved recently but I'd love to see this happen somehow. What do you guys think of the trailer?http://www.wetthegame.comWET - Thoughts?
    Not much is known about it, but yeah I've been keeping an eye on it as well, it looks pretty cool.WET - Thoughts?
    The style of play seems very versatile the way you can use both guns independently as well as the sword. And let's not forget the wince-enducing ''taint splitter'' move. OUCH.Oh yeah and let's just be honest and state the obvious: Rubi is HOT.
    just looked, it looks pretty sweet.
    um... i havent even heard of this game. i do however, thank you for the link. trailer looks like its going to be a third person perfect dark lol (Women who shoots guns) bath seen awsome :) heart inside the freezer on ice um... wth lol but other then that ill have to just keep up on it and see how it goes..
    It kind of reminds me of lara croft with the 2 guns at the same time otherwise looks cool.
    i've been watching this game for quite a few months now. from what ive been seeing it looks like its gonna be pretty awesome and i'm definatly going to be picking it up.

    Rate My new TV! :D

    LG Scarlet 37'' So far lovin it :DRate My new TV! :D
    Looks good. I love the 120 hz. How much was it?Rate My new TV! :D
    nice tV. it would look even more slick if it were on the wall, or on a sleek Ikea-styled TV stand instead of your dresser.
    1300$ Canadian dollars @ best buy it also has 2.7MS response time, i highly recommend to anyone whos looking for a new TV.
    seen this in bestbuy i think i was looking at the 42 inch or 46 sumthing like that i love the design of the tv its a beutiful set and a good one too if i had $$ i would def get this. congrats
    [QUOTE=''ackr1TE'']LG Scarlet 37'' So far lovin it :D[/QUOTE] to be honest the tv looks awsome congrats on the new hdtv but one thing for sure you need to invest in is a entertainment center or even mount it on a wall because that just looks so unstable lol but congrats man....
    Thats frickin wack i wish i had that Tv.:shock:
    Beautiful TV I love the design, tell us your impresions on games with 120Hz activated, great TV ;)
    Awesome! Would love to have that tv
    it's sexay ;)
    Move it from the window.
    It looks very clean. I like it :)
    Pleasntly surprised games run without a hitch super vibrant. Only downside to higher screen size ( i had 26'' HDTV befor ) is you notice alot of game imperfections. For example pop-ins seem to be more vissible :P But yeaa super happy for the price i don't think i could have picked a better more future proof TV. :D
    There is a demo mode for ''TrueMotion'' for 120Hz it splits the screen to 120Hz ON/OFF the difference is amazing.
    Definitely need to get a TV stand for that or mount it if that's a better option for you. Overall good choice with going with an LG.
    The Scarlets are great!
    That's sick man, I wish I had a t.v. like that. I'm playin on my 17' HD samsung moniter :DVGA for the win.
    It looks like a great tv. I'd remove the stickers from the side, though. The ones that say Full 1080p, 3D Sound, Full Cinema etc etc. I think it makes the TV look tacky. 4 HDMI slots is really good. I've got 4 devices that use HDMI but my TV only has 3 HDMI ports. Unplugging one to plug in another isn't difficult, but it is annoying.
    10 out of 10! Ballin'!

  • Please help!!! 360 connection trouble!

    I was playing 360 yesterday and was connected to Live fine, but when I tried to connect today...it wouldn't work. It failed the Connect to Wireless Network Test so I restarted my router, but it still didn't work.(I hope its not my wireless adapter.) I put it back on factory settings and it still didn't work. All the status codes I saw were zeroes except for X:8000-0011. Can somone please help me?:(Please help!!! 360 connection trouble!
    Bump.Please help!!! 360 connection trouble!
    Normaly when i cant connect ill call comcast and ask to re-send my connection(W/e the technical term for that is). That usualy works when the restart modem doesnt. One time it turned out that an ethernet cable wire's had broken inside due to bending and rebending. Try switching cables... sounds stupid but that was the problem when i couldnt find one.Edit: Also sometimes my connection just wouldnt work for a few days do to local repairs even though the internet was still running... maybe i wasnt achieving a certain connection speed that i was set for at the time?

    Quick question about multiple accounts, ...

    My friend wants to make an Xbox live account on my console, just a silver account and he has some MS points that he wants to put on it. If he buys stuff with his account like let's say Mega Man 9 could I play it on my own account?

    I've heard that people who made country mistakes make alternate xbox silver accounts, put the points on there, and play the games cause you only need the same harddrive.

    We're sharing the 20gb harddrive I have so I can play and use whatever he buys on his account right?
    Quick question about multiple accounts, ...
    [This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]Quick question about multiple accounts, ...
    /I hate bumping but I need an answer fast
    I think it would work.I have my main gamertag which I have my MS points on and bought XBLA games with. I also created a second GT for other people to use. When logged in with only my second account (silver) and look at the games on my console it shows all the purchased games as full games, showing achievements and friends leaderboard as options, which are not there if it was only a trial version.
    It will work if you did it that way. The only thing is if for some reason your 360 broke down later on...not saying that it will you will have to know the e-mail and password for that silver account to recover the licences off xbox.com so that you can play it on your account again.

    Does Xbox 360 need another flagship titl ...

    I was just thinking that maybe xbox 360 needs another flagship title. Now usually when we think of Xbox we think of Halo series and now Gears Of War but i still feel like xbox could use at least one more flagship title similar to how Nintendo has had Mario,Zelda,Metroid. Not saying that it truly needs it to survive but it would again differentiate itself from the competition and would just add more value to the xbox brand itself. Does Xbox 360 need another flagship titl ...
    Microsoft should spend more time making Forza their third title. Similar to how Sony made Gran Turismo a big name title. Forza is a good game but could be great with more tracks, cars, and weather.Does Xbox 360 need another flagship titl ...
    Not everyone thinks of Gears of war. Its really forum hype for a broken game. As for forza, PS3 along with Gran turismo, not everyone is into racing and Im sure a large portion of gamers forgot about that game.
    Bring back Rally Sport Challange. I want a new one so badly.
    I think Fable as well. Awesome game. Can't think of a whole lot other games though specific to the 360 other than ones previously mentioned.
    I could def see forza as another flagship title but the game needs to expand alot more and even so i think most players know that Gran Tursimo has the crown when it comes to racing simulation. Fable would be good but Fable is just not that kind of title that generates much excitement. I mean i can tell you i know there are alot of people that don't ever play games and they know Halo.Gears,GTA,COD, unfortunately fable is not one of those titles.
    i've got to say i disagree with some of you guys. imo pgr is a lot better than forza and i think it's one of the best titles available right now. forza was good but if i had to choose one racer it would be pgr.
    I think that Fable should be considered a flagship title. Thats why I bought a 360. The only games I prefer on the ps3 are the Gran turismo and the Socom series.
    What the xbox really needs is a really good new game. Not another installment of some game that tons of people have played and gotten bored of. It needs something new and innovative, something that has never been done before.
    another thing to think about is that xbox may infact not even have a maskot like character anymore as yes maybe the halo games might keep going but masterchief as the character might not exist anymore. masterchief,Marcus fenix wont be permanent like say mario or zelda and i think that in a way it just takes away from the xbox brand.
    Microsoft has it's flagship franchise = HaloMicrosoft has it's flagship character = Master ChiefThat's all any company has. That ''other'' company has that Italian guy and then that's it.Microsoft has such superior third party support it doesn't need anyone elseFor name recognition is has the name Microsoft, 8 out of every ten computers are Microsoft based.It needs nothing.

    How Halo 3 graphics should have been...

    I just saw this trailer of Halo Wars in gametrailers.com, and made me think that this is how Halo 3 should have looked to meet the expectations it carried before launch day. With all the budget destinated to this game it should have at least meet GeOW in graphics quality. Here the link: www.gametrailers.com/player/40831.html How Halo 3 graphics should have been...
    Yata-yata any comments? How Halo 3 graphics should have been...
    Those graphics are definitely nice but I like Halo 3's graphics.
    well nothing looks like that yet not even crysis i think halo looks good it def does for the tech that was around when they started developing it and for how stable the halo engine is especially online.
    Yeah if Halo3 had looked like that I wouldn't have gotten angry and killed my dog
    I must admit i was dissapointed when i saw halo 3 graphics i expected better.
    If you mean the style, then yes, halo 3 should have looked like that. But technically, it couldn't and even it was released today, can't look like that yet. Not real time.
    If you arent happy unless a game looks like that, I have a feeling you have been and will be unhappy for quite some time now.

    Halo 3 looks great, all it needed was better looking human character models and more anti-aliansing.
    [QUOTE=''Morphic'']If you arent happy unless a game looks like that, I have a feeling you have been and will be unhappy for quite some time now.[/QUOTE]
    Exactly. Why do people care so much about how the graphics look. I agree that some parts to Halo 3's graphics lack some what, but that doesn't stop be froming playing it almost everyday. If you care that much about the graphics go play Crysis.
    Yeah Halo 3's graphics could have been better. I mean they weren't bad, and they certainly weren't that mediocre, and on top of that, that flaw didn't take too much away from the overall experience. I play on an SD television, so I'm not as keen on graphics as HDTV players might be.
    that's impossible on a xbox360
    Those are just CGI graphics. Xbox360 could never create those graphics in real time that's why Halo 3 doesn't look like that. Halo 3 is probably the best graphics the 360 will ever get.
    Blah, the games not a very good game all-around
    why does everyoen think the halo graphics where good? they were crap the only good thing is the water and bioshock did that much better so how people can say they are the best graphics on 360 ill never know
    [QUOTE=''Matt-4542'']Blah, the games not a very good game all-around[/QUOTE]Halo 3 scored a 9.5 and a few GOTY's, and its still the number 1 played online game on Live... Yea, its not that great
    ^^^no2 played game on live
    i think Halo 3 graphics were very good they were just brighter more artistic that realistic. like Geow was made to look realistc and just dark. a game with good graphics doesnt have to look photo realistic.

    Far Cry 2, where's the much deserved att ...

    Far Cry 2 is an upcoming (Oct. 21) FPS with a full fledged MAP EDITOR, IMMERSIVE 50KM OPEN GAME WORLD, different singleplayer possibilites 80 HOURS OF SINGLEPLAYER, GREAT GRAPHICS/WEATHER, smooth GAMEPLAY, etc. Already reviewed (PC version) 9.4/10.This is nothing like Far Cry Instincts, this is going to be an amazing FPS on the 360, potentially one of, if not, the best for 2008. I recommend for those of you who don't know it to look up some footage on Youtube.Did I mention a MULTIPLAYER MAP EDITOR? Not the ''Forge'' piece of crap, an actual map editor you create land from th ground up and has over ONE THOUSAND objects from buildings, vegetation, vehicles, etc. with a 512m x 512m map size.A map editor that allows players to post their maps on Ubisoft servers for others to rate and recommend, and for seamlessly EASY download size/rates in order to join other people's games (20 seconds, not even, to download another player's map and join that room of up to 20 players). This game needs some attention, so much work has been put into it and it looks very well polished and great.Far Cry 2, where's the much deserved att ...
    I knew the game was gonna have good features and all, but I didn't know THAT much!!!! now I want it even more!!!! already gots mine pre-ordered, too. :)Far Cry 2, where's the much deserved att ...
    [This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]
    im very hyped for this game but its just coming out at the wrong time
    got the game fully paid for already,look at my ava :).
    i love this game it will be the best of 08 maybe, but theres just way to many games to be excited for like fable 2, fallout 3, gears of war 2, the new halo game is being very much talked about, COD5, saints row 2, dead space(maybe), tom Clancy's ENDWAR. these are all great games...games i'm going to be getting but great games. its hard to be hyped for them all, especially fable 2 since it lost its mulitpayer on launch till when ever and the special edition is cut..its just like the first game one after another that all your left with is a crap game...So its not just farcry that is being left out its all the games its just so hard to be hyped and in control of all these games coming out, i know i'm going to be flat broke trying to get these
    Holy Crap seriously u can do that with the map. This definitaly does deserve more attention.
    lol just cuz u don't c it much around this place dun mean its not noticed by a large amount of ppl yes? :)
    ya farcry owns bit first fable 2 then i get farcry then fallout 3 only got enough for fable but about 2 weeks i should have my 160 dollar cheak for working election poles on nov 4
    [QUOTE=''Hackeysacked'']Holy Crap seriously u can do that with the map. This definitaly does deserve more attention.[/QUOTE] yes and thats one of the big reasons why people love farcry games because of its map editer complet mapediter when u lower the ground or makes hills or water and then u cna pick what u want ground look like grass or destert or w/e then you haves tons and tons of items vechials theres really no limit to the stuff you can use like forge u have money b.s well on here endless think like forge mode on halo like 50x better unlimited power http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lnG4WhXMtE
    hmm well most people that i know including myself didnt enjoy far cry i thought it was average, single player completely uninteresting.its had a map editor before that suked imo i mean it may not have been as deep as the new one but you could build your own stages using actually land pieces and such. What really made it bad is that like 95% of all of the user created maps that i played on were complete garbage and you had to wait for a long time while the game dled the map.i just had an overall bad exp with farcry on all fronts i could never understand why people liked it but i may give this one a try it.

This one has a 50km open world and you are able to MAKE CHOICES on what to do in terms of storyline, with 9 different playable characters in the singleplayer.As for the crappy multiplayer maps... Ubisoft has known about this issue and has implemented a map rating system. So I'd imagine a 1-5 star system being used, and crappy maps will have low stars so you know just how good/bad the map you are about to join really is. This game will be excellent!
    I want this game very much
    Because it will be so much better on the PC I dont think console fans are jumping for joy
    I'm freaken hyped for far cry 2 and it is my favourite game to come out this year.
    yep it looks incredible can't wait to play it this month.
    The game looks great, if anyone is even slightly interested in it and is considering picking it up; pre-order it. There's six exclusive missions that you'll miss out if you don't do so.
    I imagine a lot of the hype for the game is in the PC forum. That said I think after the game is rated, provided it performs well, I think It will have a growing hype. It might be a bit of a sleeper hit.If COD5 turns out to be more COD3 instead of 4 I could see Farcrybenefitingfrom that.
    Yeah people wont like COD5 cus its WW2, I probably will but in the modern era fighting genre Far Cry 2 will sweep clean COD4's servers and everybody will be playing Far Cry. Hopefully you will look for a game and BOOM 600 20 player servers full are there just like COD or Halo.
    I'm really torn between this and Fable 2.

    using head phones for more than communhi ...

    OK I have the xbox head phones is there a way of using them for the game sounds so I dont need to use the tv speakers late at night and keep the roome mates up anybody have any solutionsusing head phones for more than communhi ...
    the xbox headset can't do game sounds.but you could put the headset on first and then get some headphones with the game sound to put over that. using head phones for more than communhi ...
    [QUOTE=''pargonta''] the xbox headset can't do game sounds.but you could put the headset on first and then get some headphones with the game sound to put over that. [/QUOTE] lol OR instead of looking like an r*tard you could just google turtle beach headphones, they are 5.1 stereo surround sound headphones and mic, so you can get your gamesounds and talk to people over live with just one headset, they make a wireless version too thats pretty freakin sweet, only about 100 bux for the basic wireless model

    BIA HH demo?

    does anyone know when the demo is coming?BIA HH demo?
    I have no idea, but the ps3 demo is up. I tried it and thought it was a good idea and could have been much better, but it was poorly executed. I still thought it was fun though and people should at least try it if they enjoy ww2 shooters.BIA HH demo?
    I dont know. I really want to try out this game, and my Blockbuster doesnt even carry the game and my local Hollywood video still has roof damage from hurricanne Gustav and isnt open.
    If there won't be a demo for LIVE, BIA HH is a huge failure.
    It's like the first demo that PSN got first lol

    i need help choosing which to get

    ok so i need help choosing which game to get silent hill or mass effect ? they both look good but i need some opionionsi need help choosing which to get
    Mass Effect by far. It's one of the best games I've ever played, and I've played quite a few games.i need help choosing which to get
    Played Mass Effect on PC. Its a must have. Didnt silent hill get like a 5.9 on IGN?
    i have only played mass effect and did not like it at all so silent hill.
    I'm not a fan of Mass Effect, thought I'd really like it but the game got boring quickly due to the the floored squad system.
    [QUOTE=''TX360'']i have only played mass effect and did not like it at all so silent hill.[/QUOTE]Yup or neither.
    Neither, i played mass effect and i didn't like it either. Silent Hill doesn't look that great either. There are plenty of other good games to get then those 2,
    It really depends on what you like. First of all IGN are all Gay so dont bother with there ratings as they have their Heads in the wrong place. Silent Hill Homecoming will have better graphics and physics i am sure plus it will be more interesting so i would recommend Silent Hill.
    MASS EFFECT
    GAME RECOMMENDATION THREAD. C'mon people just use it for once.
    mass effect

    O.S. Software Updates..

    I purchased XBox 360 yesterday..is it OK to download and install O.S. Software Updates from Xbox.com even before I start playing games on it?? the update is SystemUpdate_05-2007.zip-it's about 7MB..O.S. Software Updates..
    Aren't those just the same ones that would download anyway if you were on Live? If so, then it's safe.O.S. Software Updates..
    There should be no problem but if it is a fairly new console, then it should have a recent update. So, attempting to install an older update will do nothing.
    actually this console was won in a contest by the person I purchased it from..its Xbox360 Core..looks like 2006 model, not sure when CORE model was introduced..but it was brand new when I took it out of the box..
    If the system prompts you to update when you sign on Xbox Live, you should update it.

    360 Elite Upconverting?

    Is the Elite system an upconverting DVD drive?360 Elite Upconverting?
    have you ever heard of Google.com?360 Elite Upconverting?
    [QUOTE=''_RA0_'']have you ever heard of Google.com?[/QUOTE]Relax, we are in a forum where information is exchanged, thanks for the input.
    I DID google it, and this is one of the first results. Google links to other sites where people ask questions and arrogant dorks like you tell them to google it, when if noone asked in a forum or posted on a blog there would be no google results to answer the question. BTW, does the Elite have an upconverting DVD player?
    Yes it isIt's not the best but for many it'll get the job done.
    any 360 will upconvert dvds, as long as you have hdmi or vga hooked up.
    [QUOTE=''gagit811'']any 360 will upconvert dvds, as long as you have hdmi or vga hooked up.[/QUOTE]

    Correct.
    It doesn't do that good of a job to be honest. I went out and bought a 1080p upconvert player so that my movies would look a lot better.

    Linked.
    It was in the original as well, just as everyone's been saying. But what this tells me is that it will be exploitable in MP, so expect it yet again in the sequel. :( Maybe they found a way to disable it for players ... or I hope so.
    they did it in the first too lol
