I am a heron, an aquatic bird, what is five feet tall and eats fish. If you do not stop your pissing contest right now, I will fly into your kitchens tonight and make a mess of your pots and pans.
:( not my pots and pans.
G/F and I are getting a 360 next week (talked her out of getting a wii), our immediate buy list is:
360 premium
wireless control
extra wireless guitar
rockband special ed (drums, mic, guitar)
GTA4
Orta <3
Phantom Dust if tnl still plays.
So how do i avoid RROD? New console, specific models? Also what the required buys?
Keep your 360 as well ventilated as possible. Your list looks good as far as essentials are concerned. I haven't had a lot of luck with rock band brand guitars but the guitar hero 3 wireless guitar has been a real champ, so you may want to take that into consideration.
So how fast does the 20gb drive fill anyway? Should i just spring for the elite for both the drive and the hdmi port? (I will be getting a compatible tv probably by the end of summer)
depends on what you use it for. the games don't install like on the PS3 and the limit for XBLA games is now 350meg i believe. if you're a digital packrat it won't last long but for normal use it's fine.
If you get a new Xbox 360 it'll have HDMI. The 120 GB hard drive isn't really necessary.
If you would like to keep a collection of trailers and demos of upcoming games, as well as your music, you want the 120 GB. If all you want to hold onto is DLC and arcade games, the 20 GB will do.
The Pro has the HDMI port now, btw.
You can either spend an extra $100 now, or possibly spend an extra $180 later (retail prices).
Thx guys, 360 Premium w/ 175w power supply it is. See ya online this week?
wow god really doesnt want you to play NG2
sorry to hear that buddy
Hori announced the Hori Real Arcade Pro EX for the Xbox 360.
Pass. I need American-style fucking buttons. What's up with this curved bullshit? When I want that shit I'll pay bobobo a visit.
Okay, here you go.
Battlefield: Bad Company demo is up. I think its terrible. Ugly visuals and it has one of the worst FOV's ever for a first person shooter. It seems like its zoomed in and it doesn't feel right at all. Lots of explosions and good sound though. I only played the single player portion though since I'm not a big mulitplayer guy.
The multiplayer was pretty fun during the Beta. Not worth $60 though.
Wah waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
There's a reason that 90% of players at fighting game tournaments (outside of MvC2 players) nowadays play on Japanese-style sticks. They're more responsive, handle better, and require much less travel (which can lead to faster movements). The one thing a good American stick has on them is durability (which is probably why MvC2 players still play on them).
Granted, that number goes up to ~100% for the most Japan-centric games in the rotation (Guilty Gear, Melty Blood, Arcana Heart, etc.) so there definitely is some f-chan love going on there.
Now I'll have a zboz stick that's actually in the same zip code as the custom I have for the PS2/3.
Hori needs to fix that button layout and as Bacon mentioned, that headset jack placement is messed up. At least 360 owners are getting something though.
Just get a wireless headset, noobs.
So my 360 has been slowly eating away at my copy of GTA4, and today when I tried to power it up it gave me a disk unreadable error. There are some nice scratches on the back too. I'm guessing this is the beginning of the end.
OMFG

I haven't been paying attention, has this been made fun of mercilessly yet?
James
Nope. That and a bunch of other info just got leaked. I think I'll go make a thread.
Brotherman
Sounds like a train wreck waiting to happen,and this is the only thing I've seen so far. Do it up. :)
-edit- ...And you completed it while I was posting. That was quick.
James
Wow, Mii's on the 360.
So basically I have to go to PC gaming to escape this bullshit now?
Oh, for the love of God... Miis on the 360 now?
I heard something about them fixing the DRM issue where you must be signed into Live to play stuff you purchased if you migrate to a new system? Is this true?
Yeah. The thingamabob to do it is coming.
Yes. The new DRM transfer tool is one of the reasons we didn't get a Spring Update (basically, it was a bitch for Microsoft to renegotiate all the re-downloadable rights for their Marketplace stuff, but they finally got it done). It supposedly should be available this month, but Microsoft's silence implies that it may be delayed.
I have a feeling this is something I won't find on a retail shelf
How astute.
What is astute mean?
When I saw that aren had posted in this thread, I thought the 360 had committed a foul that wasn't called.
Microsoft should just keep going for those frat boy dollars, they don't have enough horrible shit to really draw in the kids even with miis.
As long as I can have a robot with that avatar deal I will be happy.
Tales of Vesperia demo is available on the Japanese marketplace. It's only about 278 megs, so I expect it to be short.
It's also in full english.
Has anyone had any success replacing the DVD drive in the 360 on their own? My brother just bought a used one that comes up with the "Please insert this game into a 360" error, and that tells me the laser is fucked. And since the system was used he doesn't have a receipt.
you can't, the firmware is tied to the mobo that's why I store my orig.bin safely away :shh:
your brother probably bought one with a botched mod job
They don't play games.
wat
From what I've read the HD-DVD for the 360 won't play 360 games, just HD-DVD movies.
Yeah I know, you got your post in first
My original Elite just got the RROD on me tonight. Luckily it was still under warranty at BB, so I was able to get a a new one with the Falcon chipset. Didn't get a new plane though. Just gonna go through MS if this one dies on me.
They should be able to transfer the same plan over to the new one, they did it on mine.
You got lucky. Thats not suppose to happen at all. Plan is for the specific unit you purchased and is good for only one time, as far as replacements go. But I got an extra free controller and extra hdmi and component cables as well as a headset to sell so after all that it makes the plan i had for the previous system only end up costing like $10-$15.
Yeah, mine died while mid-warranty, and they said they could refund half the price of my warranty or use it as store credit. I put it toward getting an Elite (was a Premium that died) so I got a $6 upgrade. They seem really inconsistent with warranties; some stores do transfers, others don't care at all.
My 2nd 360...just RRoD. Think I'm going to dump it and what games I have left...and rebuy GTA4 for the PS3.
sorry about the RROD sonic :'(
Just got an email saying that my 360 was sent out. Which is awesome considering they just received it on Saturday.
Pretty standard from my experience (done it twice now). It's nice though.
Took them a week and a half for mine. Bah.
Haha....well...it's working again. Played some PGR4 and GTA4 actually booted up. So it's safe for now...but I'm ready to dump it again at the next sign of trouble (not for $5 though). :p
omg omg omg http://www.xboxaddict.com/article/119.html
Entered.
Woah, entered.
I thought this was something cool like "Cave games and RFA to America"
WALL-E is way cooler than that F-chan shit.
Watch your tongue, heathen.
you don't understand the meaning of f-chan
I think I do and my Pac-Man plushie seals it.
not f-chan
I meant Mr. Roboto...shmups with ships = not f-chan
and yeah,piss on Wall-E. I would trade the chance to see every Pixar movie for those games to come out in the USA
I was just kidding. But WALL-E is gonna be better than everything Cave has ever done. Blv. Might be joshing there too.
You're just afraid of our internet wrath. Kidding. Sure.
FEAR OUR TEXT
get rid of that DRM shit muhfuckas.

Sweet.
I just did this today, and it was quick and painless. I can't believe that the site says you can only do it once every year. I'll accept that if my POS 360 only red rings once every 12 months. Otherwise, GTFO.
I think they are actually transferring liscenses over now if you have to ship a 360 (which is getting rare now, at least with people with newer machines).
Yeah, they mention transferring the licenses to your new box at the repair center on that page.
Really? Cool, I didn't see that. It's good that MS is finally getting off its ass and fixing this.
Good work by MS on making this easy and painless.
You see these, MS? These are for you.
Guess what I got today?
My question is, I'm still within my 1 yr purchase date at Circuit City. Should I exchange at CC or work with MS? I want to keep my HDD (no way am I losing a year's worth of saves). Can I exchange just the box and keep my HDD?
Any help is appreciated, TNL.
