I saw the 1 vs 100 preview video and I look forward to playing it. Obviously, the real prizes you can win is great, and Microsoft may have a surprise killer app for LIVE if the game functions well.

I thought they randomly updated the questions all the time to keep it very current.Quote:

Buy another PS2. The last few hours of that game are pure awesome.Quote:

My 360 is currently hardwired, but if I switch it over to a G bridge is that going to negatively effect the Netflix streaming or other Live stuff?
I suppose it depends on all kinds of shit, but the short answer is "probably."
Same here.Quote:

Mine is hooked up by a wireless game adapter, it's not quite as good as a wired connection but I really didn't have any problems playing Street Fighter 4. I never tried Netflix, although I coiuldn't imagine there would be too much of a problem if you've got a good wireless signal. A 54G router probably transmits data faster than your internet connection.Quote:

This doesn't really deserve its own thread since they aren't announcing any games yet, and this seems like the most appropriate existing thread to put it in, so: Tomonobu Itagaki and his ex-Team Ninja posse have formally announced the founding of their new development studio, .
Note that Tokyo Vikings is a tentative studio name, but I hope it's one that they ultimately decide on.
Sure as shit beats Team Ninja. Thank you Gas for not supergrafxengine'ng up the forums.
I'm learning. ;)
To be honest though I kinda miss the days when we made a new thread for every little thing. Lucas Barton's 102473 different Mario Sunshine threads and all that. It felt more... fun, for lack of a better word. Like, the overall air of the place was one of exuberant enthusiasm, whereas now it's all jaded contempt.
There was nothing fun about those.Quote:

Josh turning into an achievement whore. The world IS ending.
Word on the grape vine is that OXM reveals Front Mission Evolved for 360, a shooter, developed by Double Helix.
I don't want to buy anything new, but I have time to kill = going for achievements.Quote:

for those who dont wanna watch, the 360 hits 91 degrees F while playing gears of war. The system is then shut off, and for 3 minutes the internal temperature continues to rise till it hits 107 degrees!
I wonder if not direct quitting a game, and going to dash for a few minutes can help that, im never turning the system off while the games playing again :x
My fans stay on for a few minutes after I turn the system off. I always thought it was broken, but perhaps it's a feature!
mine have been too! maybe it came with NXEQuote:

I know if I leave my controller charger/cable hooked up to the system when I turn the 360 off those fans keep cranking.As soon as I unplug the thing, fans stop [shrugs] always thought that was weird but maybe its a good thing...
Feature 4u!
That's because the system still draws a bit of power to continue charging the batteries. Unlike the stupid PS3!
Protip: Charge your PS3 controller with USB cable <-> PCQuote:

So hurtful.
Charge it up your butt then.
So my 360 started freezing within 2 minutes of connecting to Xbox Live yesterday. After disconnecting the HDD, clearing the cachie on the HDD and still having problems, I then decided to disconnect the wireless adapter to see if some how that was causing the conflict. Sure enough, my 360 is now on a wired internet connection and running great again. Has anyone heard of the Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter causing this sort of problem before? Any idea if there are some fixes for it?
Now I understand why Saturday and Sunday are holy days to various groups. Based on this new information, atheists should claim Monday as special as well.Quote:

Well do you want your PS3 controller charged or not? Charge = painful, not charge = less painful, not conflicting, life is not free.Quote:

What's the manufacturing date on the back of your unit?
Dunno. Won't be home til Sunday. I was trying to have a few minutes with Mirror's Edge and then it red ringed and I left.
Tragic.
Fight Night 4 demo up on Live.
I guess the 1 vs 100 north america open beta starts monday night, we should get a crew together and play it for a lil bit (in the canadian one it supported groups of 4, maybe in the new version it'll support groups of 8 to mirror the party chat system)
edit for linkage: http://www.xbox.com/en-CA/live/1vs100/welcome.htm
If it is starting on Monday and if I'm around (can't remember what E3 stuff I have going on that day), I'll jump in.
Does Canada not have party chat, or is it limited to 4 people?Quote:

Just in time for my second Xbox to be shipped off for replacement! Bah.
I have all the same options for party chat that are available to everybody, it's just that the 1 vs 100 beta is/was limited to groups of 4Quote:

Yes! Now my Strider / Spider-man MvC2 pad can be wireless. :D
The lag on wireless would suck.
Thanks for posting that. Rep +1
I just got mine back from microsoft, and it's still slow and locking up just like that.Quote:

Okay, new problem with my JUST FIXED 360...when connected via my HDMI cable to my tv, the audio pops and crackles at all volume levels. I get the same result from my tv internal speakers as I do from my surround sound speakers. I want to merc this effing machine (and more importantly, I want to play it).
Any ideas? I looked around the internet and haven't found a comparable problem.
mine was!Quote:

The cable is fine though, since it works like a charm with my WDTV media player. I don't know, I don't feel like waiting another 3 weeks while it's away at repairs.
I set up the console through component, and it looks okay, but IDK if it's my imagination, but Burnout Paradise feels like it's choppy video wise through component. I think it's my imagination...
Mine was used and IIRC its the original. I might save my money and get an Elite.Quote:

If you can find a receipt, that will be more recent than the manufacture date. They only go by the manufacture date if you don't have a receipt.Quote:

I turned my 360 on last week to play Terminator: Salvation, and the screen went all wonky and then froze. I rebooted the machine to the dashboard and it did it again. It hasn't done it since, but I'm wary that my THIRD 360 is about to shit the bed.
At this point though, I don't really care anymore. I'll just play my PS3 until MS fixes it, and if it's not in warranty, then I'm selling all my games and will never buy this POS hardware again. Most of my games are multi-platform, so I'll just buy the PS3 versions.
MS deserves to be taking it in the ass royally with the repairs for not being able to make decent hardware 3 years into the console's life cycle and after nearly half a dozen revisions.
I hope their next console is backwards compatible, because it would be a shame to not be able to play any of the great games from this generation 5 years after it ends, when all of our consoles are giant bricks.
I hope their next console actually plays games without dying.
Dude, it's microsoft, good luck with that.
Also, chicken mcnuggets.
Its not RROD on your 360s. They kill themselves after being forced to run all the garbage you play. I'm just as bad. :)Quote:

my coffin showed up out of the blue, no email or anything, but they might have their shit in order on the US side of things
They didn't send a coffin for me, they just had me print out a shipping label, and supply a box myself.
