Official Xbox 360 Thread

I had thought about disc rot... but after only what, 5 years? I suppose that is the answer though, the disc is pristine as far as I can tell. No matter, the bluray is cheap.

The drive is hooked up to the slim 360. From my entertainment center, I can't hear the 360 or PS3 slim spinning discs when playing movies, but I definitely hear the HD DVD drive. Maybe it's time to either get a new HD drive or just purge the movies and get the important ones on bluray, they should all be cheap by now. It's not like I have a huge collection, it's mostly just stuff I could get cheap back when it was all clearanced.

Or dont do a little searching.
There was a problem with one of the manufacturing plants warner used, hence the premature failure. I found this out a couple of months ago after I went on an hd dvd binge to fill the gaps in my collection and discovered half of them didnt work right out of a brand new package.
I've heard tell of a program you can use to rip them to an hd. Unfortunately I am going to have to explore that.

Unfortunately, opaque is (understandably) confused.
Gamestop charges $39.99 for a USED copy of Portal 2. Because they're assists.

Holy shit I just realized you're right.

The stickers had the whole gamestop card price as well, which only goes on the used games. What the fuck!

I don't know if EB/GS is run differently here in Canada or not, but every time I look through their used games, I see at least one used game that is more expensive than a new copy at the same store. I've asked a few times to check the prices, and it's never been an old price sticker or the wrong price. That's how it is in their system.

Sometimes thats the result of the new copy getting a price drop and them not changing the price of the used one.

Walmart has Portal 2 for $20 new. Who's buying it for more at Gamestop?

Stupid people who don't know how to bargain hunt.

I'm sure that's exactly what it is, but it's still a ridiculous oversight for a place that survives on used game sales.

Magic 2013 and Rainbow Six Vegas are the free games this month. Eh.....

[Chux]

Magic is alright at $0

It's frustrating the the Xbox.com store won't let me download free games and demos without using credit card or putting in a pre-paid card, but at least I was still able to download the games on the system itself with no problems. I hope this gets fixed soon.
