xbox 360 bug fixx

does anybody remember back when the 360 had a bug problem that caused the 3 red lights..well surprisingly my 360 made it this far and i jsut got the 3 red lights.. but the problem is that i got it in the very beginning of february 06, so it might be right before or right after they started putting the new 360s out..does anybody know when they styarted producing the 360s that were fixed? because im seeing that if they will still fix the release 360s for free

is hd-dvd worth it for this use?

first off i would for sure buy either one if format war was over but anywaysI wouldn't probably buy any hd dvds but would use netflix and just rent them and if i want to own a movie buy it on dvd. I do plan on getting a ps3 in the future for blu-ray use and when they get some decent exclusives.So is it worth it considering i could get it lil cheaper on ebay plus if hddvd loses i wouldnt own the movies just the player would be no good, because who knows how long this format war will last.  Any thoughts and opinions? is hd-dvd worth it for this use?
anybody? been debating over this for a while now.

so I'm buying a new 360...got a question ...

So my 360 broke about an hour ago and its a launch console. I'm planning on running over to best buy tomorrow and buying a core with a 2 year plan. My question is, will everything on my hardrive work ok even though its on a new console. I've heard some things are tied to your actual system, is there any truth to this? so I'm buying a new 360...got a question ...
no it should be alright im running off my brothers core as mine died to (funny isnt it how everyones launch system is breaking) but yeah im fine shouldnt be a problem so I'm buying a new 360...got a question ...
i'm on my 7th 360 now but i have had the same hard drive the entire time. i've only run across maybe two games with content that was tied to the system, almost all the rest is just tied to your XBL account so you don't have to redownload it or anything, it's still on your hard drive..
One hour ago you were going to buy a PS3.
The only problem that I believe you would run into is that if you decide to play your Xbox 360 offline, then your purchased Arcade games would revert to trials until you signed back in to Live.

  • Intec Xbox 360 AC Power Adapter

    Anyone have first hand experience with this product or reliable reviews?

    The reason I ask is because the console is no longer under warranty (power brick is dead due to a surge of electricity, thankfully the console survived)and am worried about buying a 3rd party item.Intec Xbox 360 AC Power Adapter
    You might try finding out how much it would cost to replace the power supply.  It might not be much more expensive then buying a new 3rd party power supply.  they are not always reliable for a thing like that.

    It would be wonderful if....

    They would brig diablo II to xbox live with achievements and all... seriously it would be awesome!   sing  if you think so.    It would be wonderful if....
    Seriously guys! they could touch up the graphics... and in coop it would be awesome!    ... am i the only one how tought about it???  It would be wonderful if....
    Or they could just make Diablo 3
    Yeah but thats woukd be too great to be true.. nad they didnt let us know anything about the project( im not sure about that) and it' d take what 1 or two months to bring us dII back alive...
    yeah dude that would be sweet!!!!!!
    i loved playing d2 and i would love playing d3 even more!
    interesting idea...but idk if you could react fast enough such as potting and switching skills...plus once enough ppl are high you can get 1-70 in a day lol.   

    distance question

    enybudy know if its true that your xbox 360 should atleast be 2-3 feet away from your tv?distance question
    It really shouldn't be an issue, but it is normally a smart choice to space your electronics apart, especially ones that stir up more heat.distance question
    I think it should be atleat a foot away from anything,so it can get ventilation

    Question about buying a 360?

    I am going to buy a 360 in about two weeks, and I was planning on getting the elite but nobody has it in stock where I live, so I was wondering if I should get the premium or wait til the elites are in stock? I also have an HDMI compatible tv and I would be able to use the cable for it. Anyways, since I don't already have a 360, Is it best to just get an elite or the premium console? I heard that the Elite is actually cooler and it doesn't heat up as much, but is that true? Plus I have a lot of music and videos that I would store in it, (I filled up my psp 1 gig memory stick in about a week), and I don't know how long the 20 gig harddrive would last me and I don't feel like paying 180 dollars for a 120 gig hdd when I could just get it with the elite for 80 dollars more than the premium. So is the 20 gig hdd hard to fill up and will last me a long time, or would I need to eventually need to buy a new hdd in the next few years? Please give me some advice.Question about buying a 360?
    bump.Question about buying a 360?
    get the elite, its on bestbuy.com...so you pay 5 bucks for shipping better than 180 for the 120gb HD
    If you can get an Elite and they will be in within a reasonable amount of time, I say go for it.  It is only $80 more and offers enough to make it worth it.  You could take use of your HDMI-enabled HDTV as well as use all the extra space for content.  Don't worry about the Xbox 360 overheating because that usually doesn't happen and is in the case of it being in a poor-circulation environment.  It's failure rate probably is low, but has the same chance as any other newly built 360.The 20GB HDD, which is really 13GB due to reserved storage, would be able to hold more than enough of your music.  This is if you even need to store it there since you can stream it from your PC which requires no memory usage on your 360.  It will also be able to hold all your needs as long as you don't download to many demos at a time or store too much content.  Having a 120GB HDD would be very beneficial for any future use where more memory is required.
    [QUOTE=''terps05'']get the elite, its on bestbuy.com...so you pay 5 bucks for shipping better than 180 for the 120gb HD [/QUOTE]Do you know if you can buy the insurance for it online, because my friend recommended that I get the insurance and I heard of many people that are already on their 2nd or 3rd systems? I'm not sure if I should get the insurance because none of my systems have ever broken. Heck, I still have my Playstation 1 that I got on launch day around 95 or 96 (cant remember) that is still in great condition. I even still have some of the old playstation launch games that were in those black rectangle cases. Does everybodys 360 have problems, or only some break? But if I get the insurance, how much does it cost anyways? Sorry if I'm blabing on to much, but I want to be as descriptive as possible so I can get better advice. Thanks.
    You may be able to get a warranty for the Xbox 360 from BestBuy.com, but I am not sure since it is from online.  I would assume you could.If not, you can always buy a warranty from Microsoft for $40 which is 2 years, I believe.  Not all 360s break, but it may be wise to fork over a reasonable amount to be protected for awhile.  I thought the same as you as to not buy a warranty because none of my past console have broken, but I was fooled and had to fork over $140.  The again I had a launch console.

I'll eventually will get the adaptor sometime down the line, but until then, my internet box where you plug your ethernet cable is in my basement, so will I only be able to stream it down there untill I get the $100 wireless reciever?
    Is it ok if I send you an Xbox live friend request for later Chargers fan, because I am trying to already build up an xbox live friends list, and I already made an account on xbox.com to claim my gamertag name?
    I am not sure to the extent that it is possible to stream off your PC.  I know that if your PC and 360 are connected to the same router via Ethernet it will work as long as you have a Windows XP.  It may work via wireless too, but I am not really sure.  So without wireless it should work fine as long as it is under the conditions I described, if not that then I am not sure.

    New tv.. help

    Hi, guys.  I hadnt read that much about tv's before I purchased my new toshiba regza 37'' lcd hdtv for 1000 bucks.  The picture quality has been really good so far though I dont have any hd channels and ive only been seeing 360 games in 720p and 1080i which look pretty sweet.  However, my tv dosent support 1080p.  Should I think about returning this tv and going for one with 1080p or go ahead and keep it ? In the store it looked amazing showing 1080i programming and that is what sold it to me.  It has a lot of inputs ( 3 hdmi, pc inputs, tons of others).  So do you guys think I should just stick with it even though it dosent support 1080p ? The reason I went for it is because of the 1000$ price tag really.New tv.. help
    it probably wont look any different between 1080p or i unless the tv is really big, which it isntNew tv.. help
    nah, just keep what you have, its more than fine.

    Agreed i guess that was an unfair opion and i see your point i dont consider 6.9 average i consider that poor/bad though
    i find that for the most part, gamespots reviews are very accurate and i usually agree with them, but everyone once in a while, there is a review i dont agree with, but not very often

    Your opinion on a game differs from someone elses....Why is that shocking?

We talked about tweaking gear ratios, suspenion setups, swapping out engines and other parts. There's also a few other people at work that I didn't know had the game that I talked to.

    i wish you had used the word ''partner'' in your post.  I will pretend that you did.  My partner and I are both very good at games.  We love playing Gears together as well as Call of Duty 3.  He gets mad alot though and throws the controller and then I just have to give him a slap right across the face and the remote goes strait up his .... whoa whoa sorry i was getting carried away.
    Girlfriend? Wife? Whats that? :D
    My girlfriend is probably the worst gamer there is.  At least she tries, right?
    my ex hated playing games...cuz i played one on her....so now shes my ex... too bad...

    omg shadowrun owns!!

    i went through the training and this game already owns! i havent found a match yet on online, any of yall downloaded the demo? what did yall think of it. ima buy it :)omg shadowrun owns!!
    Told ya ;)omg shadowrun owns!!
    those of us that have pritty much been playing at most given chances told ya.
    don't have the demo, have the whole game and I knew already how good this game was since the beta.  I'm glad to see you enjoying it though, now get the game already.
    we all told you.
    yaaa im probably getin it too...when i get my dam 360 back from microsoft
    It seems ok. The matches for me have been repetative thus far. I'll get it if my friends do, this game requires teamates who listen.
    Yeah, I was one of the people who got accepted to the BETA and I loved it. I cant wait to pick it up..
    Im picking it up tonight, I cant wait.  The demo is out but clearly I could care less.  It just looks like so much fun.
    played the demo for a few hours, im still on the fence. I know playing the demo is only 1/10th of the actual game , but there is just something that annoys me about this game that i cant put my finger on. I want so much to love this game but somethings stopping me. I reckon my next purchase will be forza, i'll wait a month before gettin shadowrun.
    Indeed , Shadowrun is the ****! Best online fun since CS .
    I'm not sure about it. I've played the demo.
    yea manit is one of my best online experiences so far(besides gears of course) or maybe even better

    Wow tenchu z is bad

    I got the tenchu z demo today and within 5 seconds the graphics were just blotchy. The sneaking system is poorly done and when you do get caught you have no chance to live. This looks like a launch game for the original xbox. Why cant they make a good tenchu anymore??Wow tenchu z is bad
    Yeah while i was playin the demo i kept sayin to myself ''Man, this could have been way better''.  I wasn't gonna get the game anyways but i hoped it was gonna be a lil' bit more decent for me to buy used a few months from now but i think thats not gonna happen unless im blazed and just wantin' to spend money at gamestop.Wow tenchu z is bad
    yeah i agree this game sucks could of been better
    yes, terrible, terrible game.  I'll be suprised if it gets above a 4.0.
    tenchu has always sucked since it moved to previous gen from the playstation and now onto next gen.Guess some things never change. 
    Why is MS charging 60 bucks for this garbage? 
    tbh I can name alot more worse games that are worth $60
    Yep, they had the demo out awhile back in the Japan market place.  It sucked then and it still sucks now.  I would've thought they would've enhance the gameplay, graphics, etc. but it's still the same.  Also, I didn't even sneak around the town, I just swam in the water and onto the boat, ha.  Weak.
    I agree I was expecting a Ninja Gaiden-esque game but wow this is just...pitiful how can they call this a next-gen game?this game would be funner on the wii lol. 
    I agree. Awful game.
    Wow this game is not very all interesting..... waste of my 10 mins for downloading. Funny thing is my dad came in my room and said '' Why are you playing your PlayStation2? '' And i was like no its the Xbox360. MY dad was like Wow the graphics are really bad.. Anyways the game was kind of fun for a bit..... But when i went to the boat i had to fight this guy in a black suite/cape and i Died:( Ill probly get the game whens its around like 40 bucks...Or NOT!
    Lol Tenchu has went seriously downhill since moving from the Playstation, when I actually thought it was good.
    Yeah I was quite dissapointed with the demo.
    Yea, I loved the first Tenchu, and this is the first time I've played one since then... If the demo is this bad, I can't imagine the whole game. Tenchu FTL.
    it's kind of sad seeing as how the first tenchu came out of nowhere and was a really good time.  it wasn't perfect, but it was a lot of fun.  but tenchu hasn't gotten any better, in fact, it's gone down hill, all the way from PSone.
    I'm glad I decided not to download the demo. I knew it would be garbage, especially after seeing it played on On the Spot. It just looked abysmal--or close to.

    i was hoping that tenchu z would be good because i had a really fun time playing tenchu wrath of heaven on my ps2 especially co-op with a friend. i thought it was a blast..but this tenchu is pretty crappy.
    well i guess ill save myself the pain and trouble and just knock that game off my current downloadin queue...though i gatta be honest..i so wasnt expecting much out of this game..it was ganna be a time waster for tonite is all
    Bad Gameplay +Bad Graphics+ Bad Port =Bad Game  4.0 Mabye!

    Forza 2 Hard?

    I just got Forza 2 a while ago, and I've been doing the practice mode forever now. I then go into an intermediate match in career, and I fail miserably, 10 times in 7th place. This is ridiculous, especially since I'm pretty seasoned at PGR3. It's nothing like it. Any advice you guys?It's starting to frustrate me:) Forza 2 Hard?
    Where is this practice mode? I feel your pain. This game makes me so angry, I find my self yelling cuss words at the TV. :evil:Forza 2 Hard?

    sounds like you need a new car my friend
    i play all natural :D anyway it's all about your spacing and how careful you press the gass and the breaks. and where your car has to be positioned when taking curves. the green line should help you quite a lot.

Any advice you guys?It's starting to frustrate me:) [/QUOTE]well thats coz pgr is a silly little arcade racer and now u've stepped up into simulation territory where u MUST break to turn a corner and if you take the wrong line and dont hit the apex of the corner your competitors will come out usually with more speed then u on the exit. Add all the tuning options with those little annoyances and of course its nothing like pgr. 
    make the settings easier for you, turn some assists on if you don't have them, show the braking line, maybe turn the computer difficulty down until you get the hang of it, then slowly turn the assists off and the difficulty the appropriate amount until you get the settings that you like the most
    Well since im not sure what your driving techniques are I'm just going to tell you the basics.  Make sure you brake before the turn, that means that before you even start turning, your car should be at a low enough speed to complete the turn.  You don't want to continue braking into the turn, that will just cause your car to understeer and send you sliding into the grass.  Now you coast about half way into the turn and then accellerate out of the turn.  Keep in mind however that different cars react differently while turning.  It is good practice to gently apply the gas as you are coing out the turn and add more throttle as you begin to straighten out your car.Other tips - Try the lowest difficulty if you haven't already, the racing line will show you exactly when to brake, coast, and accellerate as well as the best line to take through the course.   - Try and out class your opponents.  Sometimes a quicker car can help make up for flaws in your racing technique.- Keep in mind that Forza is a Driving Simulator, unlike PGR 3 which you sound aquainted with.  In PGR its possible to pull your e-brake and slide around around a turn, in Forza that is not the case.  These cars drive like real life cars, keep that in mind and you'll get the hang of it. 
    Lots of good advice already so Ill just say this. Slow in, Fast out! Its not an arcade type game. Its a simulation. Yes I to sucked really bad at first but then I realized if I just slow down and learn that alot of corners have to be taken between 25-45 mph (depending on the corner) Im now doing amazingly better.
    Why don't ya supe up your car? That's the beauty of Forza 2... Upgrading!
    Whats the problem?Crashing?  Penalty times (hitting other cars, driving in grass, etc)? Or just getting out raced?
    wat they said. u kinda have 2 be one step ahead of the car, start thinkin wat ur gonna do on a corner be4 you hit it. just remember, dont brake the whole way through the corner, coast bout half way then ease on the gas until it seems fine 2 accelerate harder. make sure 2 also invest money in the handling as well as power.

    Like others have said, set all settings on and learn the optimal brake and gas lines.  That way, you can kind of get a feel of the correct way to control a car through a curve.
    It's already been said PGR=arcade racer, Forza2=Racing sim.  It seems like it sucks to slow down to 30mph on a tight turn at first, but there's few things that are more exhilerating than getting around the bend and putting the hammer down.
    i play with all assists off and thoughi had to get used to it for a day or 2 i was pro. Afterwardss tho, i just bought the wheel today and im discouraged. I have to learn how to drive each of my cars again with this wheel. The force the wheels uses to pull in the opposite direction is absurd. Even going on a straightaway but at high speed with my Z i have to really try to stay in contol of it. And the thing is its completely different for each of my cars. I knew this already but the wheel puts even more emphasis on that. Its discouraging but at the same time exciting cause the simplest mistake will finish you.
    I would assume this game is more fun with the steering wheel seeing as to how its so realistic. Am I right?
    a lot more fun. Especially with all assists off and manual transmission
    im good at the game..imo
    [QUOTE=''Miguel16'']a lot more fun. Especially with all assists off and manual transmission[/QUOTE]I am trying to get to the point were i can do that. I try to turn off thee braking line, but then turn it back on because of using a new car. I have however taken off traction control and i always have simulation damage (if you don't have it you try driving more like an arcade racer). I haven't really tried taking off anti-lock braking, but i may eventually.Oh for learning the game i would actually suggest paying a lot of attention to the tips during the loading screens (even if some don't make sense to you). The most helpful one for turns is the ones about slowing down and speeding up along with friction. They pretty much say don't be massively pulling on the brake or gas while in the turn, but you can ease up on the brake while coming into the turn and ease down on the gas. I call it ''ease cornering''... Instead of slamming on the brakes and smashing on the gas start braking earlier, but pushing down a lot slower this way if you see you are still coming in to fast you can push down harder on the brake without sliding as much. It is the same with the gas, but when you go out of a turn ease down on the gas and once you start to straighten out push it down harder.

    I'll probably rent Bioshock before purchasing. NCAA 2008 comes out in July so that will hold me over until....well next July:D

    4 everyone who has a 360 Elite

    has anyone noticed that the elite gets alot hotter then the premium edition?4 everyone who has a 360 Elite
    no4 everyone who has a 360 Elite
    no it does not i went to my friends to see his and it is cooler
    Nope - in fact it runs much cooler for me than my Premium did.  Also most of the tech sites that have tested them say that their Elites ran cooler than their Premiums during testing due to a number of factors like the CPU, GPU and Motherboard revisons in the Elite which are newer than the Premium or Core.

    The elite is actually suppose to run a a little cooler than the premium. If you go on llama.com they actually took apart an elite and it showed that there are no capacitors and less transistors. There were some modifications to the cpu and gpu. They also found that there is some epoxy on both chips to prevent the gpu and cpu from popping out. I think these revisions are significant enough for the elite to run a little bit cooler. I had a premium before my elite and yes I feel that the elite runs cooler than my premium. It is actually more quiet too.

    Oblivion - vampire cure

    hey can you help me find them gems that women need 1st. where are the 5 gems she requires please.Oblivion - vampire cure
    any  help please on finding these gems.Oblivion - vampire cure
    y where can i get argonians blood.
    http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Vampire_Cure     google is a wonderful thing.
    I feel your pain. I had to roll a new character because I fled a dungeon with close to zero health and the game auto saved upon my exiting, and everytime I loaded the game I would die because it was daytime. As for the cure, well, thanks to my stupid decision I never found where anything was... but Gamespot probably has a game guide with a really handy walkthrough.

And don't say Nintendo fans don't care about graphics, because we do. Graphics don't make a game great. The game and the demo's graphics are the same on a technical level (and they are great btw). Where it shines is when it comes to custom paint jobs.

Technically they aren't as powerful as others, but they can produce many ''current gen'' (since ''next gen'' is now ''this gen'') effects. How many games flip between 2 and 3d? 1 (Super Paper Mario). Gears gets its hype because of lemmingism imo. Gameplay will always topple graphics. Pretty graphics are a small part of the overall grade of a game, imo. But lets save this discussion for another time and thread. Forza is perdy and has amazing gameplay, so I'm happy.
    I agree with ALL the above posts, with the exception of the stinking JAGGIES! Fix the Jaggies, and I won't complain a bit. Even in the demo I understand. I'm not concerned with the lower texture models, etc. Jaggies are a PS2/Xbox 1 issue. Maybe its just worse than other but I have a 42''LG LCD and the car sometimes look just horrible with the jaggies against the horizon. I do love this game though, diehard Gran Turismo fan, but I like the SOOOO many different options that Forza gives in parts and painting.
    I wish they would hurry up and release it in australia already...

    man i really hate when people really care too much about greaphics. I love when people say oh yeah gears of wars graphics are the best online and it owns when really the game online was crap. cause if you took away some of the graphics u get a 4v4 no game modes game. RB6V didnt have great graphics online they even looked last gen but the game online probably was one of the funnest games I have ever played.

    And? With specs that the 360 has there is no reason in the world we shouldnt get pretty games.
    if it wasnt for Playstations,SNE`s, and what other consoles that came out around the 90s console gaming would have been dead without their graphics atari games werent that big then because all you see are some colors moving I think graphics should be on par with gameplay but for this game there is no need because the gameplay carries it all the way

    I think the graphics are great. Racing 150 + mph in Nurburgring (spelling) looks beautiful and runs smooth.

  • Price drop in sight?

    Does anyone know if there is going to be a price drop for the 360 soon. I want to get one but if there is a price drop coming up I don't want to miss that.Price drop in sight?
    no.Price drop in sight?
    BUMP. So there isn't even much of a chance of there being one this summer?

    call of juarez 7.4

    keep it in herehttp://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/thelawman/review.html?sid=6172220i would give it a 8.5call of juarez 7.4
    I could have told you it wasn't going to get an 8.5.call of juarez 7.4
    looks like its worth playing :)

    720p - 1080i

    Which do you prefer? Which makes for a clearer picture, more (interlaced) lines, or progressive scan (with less lines)?720p - 1080i
    whatever you Tv's native res is will generally give you the best picture 720p - 1080i
    I have a 27'' 1080i CRT, and 32'' 720p LCD. Both are Samsungs. I enjoy playing my 360 in 720p.
    The Xbox 360's native resolution is 720p.  Normally it will look the best, but 1080i will still give you an HD look.
    720p, Cooler number and letter= Better setting
    [QUOTE=''RoslindaleOne'']I have a 27'' 1080i CRT, and 32'' 720p LCD. Both are Samsungs. I enjoy playing my 360 in 720p.[/QUOTE]Well of course you would enjoy the LCD better, that's a given.

    It also depends what the game is, some games look better in certain resolutions. I think 720p is better than 1080i, 1080i doesn't look any sharper to me. I have an LCD which supports 1080p so you would think that looks the best, but some games don't like it, i.e you can get some pretty major screen tearing. Just experiment for yourself until you are happy.
    on bigger tvs i think 1080i is better but on small or medium probably use 720p

    do u think that the 360 breaks b/c is it a faulty system or b/c it is just a VERY fragile system that noone takes care of (not everyone is careless) but i mean of course it will break if u lay it on rug or in an entertaiment system

It's a huge design flaw.
    Last few weeks my 360 been in not so good shape. Been freezing up alot, and sometimes not being about to get into the dashboard. Seems it might have to do with the harddrive cause some save games aint working. . Lets hope it will be fine cause i aint finish playing forza.

    mine broke two weeks ago,then had to go to best buy to get a new one, thank god for that 2 year replacement plan:D
    You might have heard of this already, but I had a brother in law who got the three lights of death. I wanted to know what was going on so I looked it up. I knew the lights had to have some meaning. I got this video about how to fix it by wrapping it in towels. I thought, yeah right, ---but what the heck it is not my 360 (sorry bro) and it is toast anyway. We wrapped that thing in towels, left it on for 10 minutes, and wallah! that sucker worked fine. We played Gears of War for about 3 hours, Rainbow Six, and did a slide show with some pics for the family. Can you believe that? Somebody is probably going to post and tell me that the console will now blow up or catch fire or something--but that vodoo towel stuff works.

    New tv.. help

    Hi, guys.  I hadnt read that much about tv's before I purchased my new toshiba regza 37'' lcd hdtv for 1000 bucks.  The picture quality has been really good so far though I dont have any hd channels and ive only been seeing 360 games in 720p and 1080i which look pretty sweet.  However, my tv dosent support 1080p.  Should I think about returning this tv and going for one with 1080p or go ahead and keep it ? In the store it looked amazing showing 1080i programming and that is what sold it to me.  It has a lot of inputs ( 3 hdmi, pc inputs, tons of others).  So do you guys think I should just stick with it even though it dosent support 1080p ? The reason I went for it is because of the 1000$ price tag really.New tv.. help
    it probably wont look any different between 1080p or i unless the tv is really big, which it isntNew tv.. help
    nah, just keep what you have, its more than fine.

    Agreed i guess that was an unfair opion and i see your point i dont consider 6.9 average i consider that poor/bad though
    i find that for the most part, gamespots reviews are very accurate and i usually agree with them, but everyone once in a while, there is a review i dont agree with, but not very often

    Forza 2 brings car enthusiast's together ...

    I have one of the pictures of my car (1970 Porsche 914/6) from the game set as my desktop at work and a co-worker came by and asked me about the game and what cars I was using. We talked about tweaking gear ratios, suspenion setups, swapping out engines and other parts. There's also a few other people at work that I didn't know had the game that I talked to. It's pretty cool that a game can bring people together outside of the X360 environment.Anyone else talk shop with others about Forza 2 outside of XBL? Forza 2 brings car enthusiast's together ...

    vegas is good..forza is awsome racing. shadow run is good ive heard ALOT. pgr3 if your low on cash or test drive
    Get Guitar Hero 2. Mainly just because I'm getting it
    Call of Juarez or Shadowrun.
    i have been doin some research to get a new game...ill b e getting FORZA 2 ( i know you dont like racing sims ), but there is Shadowrun wich is fun, magicsystem, FEAR, COD3, Lost Planet, RSVegas, Oblivion for RPG 
     If you can go the extra mile and have the cash, I seriously suggest you go pick up Guitar Hero 2. It probably has the most addictive game-play and that extra money you spend will get you a ton of replay value. If that doesn't interest you, Shadowrun (assuming you have a live gold account) or Forza 2 (if you think you'd enjoy a good racing sim).  Good Luck in your purchase

    Changing Gamertag without Xbox 360

    I currently am signed up to Windows Live (Xbox Live on Windows) and want to change my Gamertag. How do I do this? I don't own an Xbox 360 so am I stuffed?Thanks for the HelpChanging Gamertag without Xbox 360
    If I make a gamer card account on xbox.com, is that going to be my gamertag when I play Xbox Live?Changing Gamertag without Xbox 360
    Yes but can you stick to my question
    That's actually a good question. I was wondering the same too.
    No, I don't believe you can change you Gamertag on an XBOX. I'm pretty sure it's only an option for those with an XBOX360, which costs money.
    Hahaha, sorry, just thought this is a good topic to post my question.  Didn't want to start a new topic when a good one like yours is already made.So, hmmm, is the account I make on xbox.com going to be the gamertag I play with on Xbox Live? 

    forget forza im getting ShadowRun

    i just play the demo for shadow run and it is amazing played the forza demo and it was just crap dirt is cool to but im not getting that either im getting ShadowRun =)forget forza im getting ShadowRun
    the forza 2 demo IS crap, but the actual game is better.  ShadowRun blows if you don't care about xbl...pff its worth half the price.  I'd choose DIRT over that any day.forget forza im getting ShadowRun

    I played the full game (didn't check out demo) but it just gets old real fast for me.
    I love racing games, yet I hate driving simulators... Forza sucks IMO. I love FPS, and Shadowrun rules.
    i havnt played forza yet but i probally wont like it ima need for speed  fan...but i played the shadowrun demo and i liked it it was cool but i had a hard time finding any match online and i wont buy the game if i cant find a game online when the game is an online only game

    hell yeah i liked shadowrun too :)
    Do i need a Gold Membership to play the Demo?I wouldn't buy the game at the current price even if it is good though.
    i would prefer shadowrun too. but i'm not buying either of them
    Don't care! but as for me, i'm getting all 3.
    im probably gonna pick up shadowrun after playing the demo.  i figured it'd be ok, but i liked it better than i thought.  i wish there were more magic and weapons though, maps wouldnt hurt either.  forza would be nice, but i'll wait until dirt to see which one i get
    I didn't like the Forza 2 demo at first, but the more I played and the better I got, the more appealing the game would seem. I'm definitely getting it - It has tons of content, great gameplay, very realistic overall and good graphics. Dirt seems very nice as well, but I'm going to pick Forza 2 over that one.

    Shadowrun really seemed like a good game, but not worth the money. It's a lot of money to pay for a game that only has a multiplayer portion, and with a lack of maps and such. And, even in the demo, I noticed how it grew old quite fast. I'm going to play it some more though, it seems like a decent game I'd pick up when the price has dropped a bit.

    GRAW2 looks excellent, havnt yet played on it but seen alot of vids and trailers etc.  Cant wait to get it.  Heres a little preview for anyone who hasnt seen it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHu3aGCG7W8Also if you have any great game vids feel free to post them here. I wanna see the best of game play.....Game play
    GRAW plays awesome.
    I remember the first time I saw a video of GRAW. It was E3 2004 and my jaw dropped at the trailer. It was sooooooo flippin' awesome!

    Game play
    Its an amazing game.  I used to play Ghost Recon 1+2+ expansion pack on the standard xboz and I was blown away back then.  To see it on an xbox will look amazing.  I cant wait, wanna cancel my trip to London so I can buy it lol. 

    How can these people like tenchu??

    take a look over at the tenchu z boards... there ppl that like that game. one topic even saidDEMO HAS ME SOLD! are you kidding me? were desperate for this type of genre but not this desperate. whens someone gonna come out and make a good stealth ninja game? How can these people like tenchu??
    I think people are being too harsh on this game. If you actually play the demo a couple times threw it starts to get kinda fun finding different ways to pull off the stealth kills and finding a new entry points. This could have deffinately been better, but I personally don't think it's as bad as you're saying. It's a lot like Vampire Rain, which sucks at first, but then you get into it just because of how bad it is lol.  How can these people like tenchu??
    Different people, different tastes.  After playing the demo, I can safely say that it's not my cup of tea, and I won't be buying it.  All I can say is, thank god for demos! ;) 
    [QUOTE=''nyc05'']Different people, different tastes. After playing the demo, I can safely say that it's not my cup of tea, and I won't be buying it. All I can say is, thank god for demos! ;) [/QUOTE]Exactly. Demos are great to have some fun, or, to warn you about getting the product or not.

    Quite honestly, I thought the demo of Tenchu Z was medicore. It was quite boring, you could only do three sword-slashes, and you could only jump like a regular person, not really like a ninja. I'd much rather wait for Ninja Gaiden, 'cause THAT'S a good Ninja game!

    Tenchu isn't a bad game, but theres a lot of things wrong with Tenchu Z, for instance:The graphics are about PS2 level. Characters look bad, animations look bad, everything else looks washed out.It's nothing new. I could go back and play Tenchu for PSone, and it'd look like a PSone game, but it'd pretty much play the same.The AI is just dumb. If you see a ninja, you don't give up looking for it in 20 seconds. You stay on your toes until that ninja is dead or else you'll be dead. they also appear to be short sighted and slightly deaf.It takes two buttons to block? I know it's all about the stealth killing, but when you come to a boss like at the end of the demo, that's not going to work so well.  That's all I could deduce from the demo.

    I've not played the demo yet but I'm slightlky interested in the game as it has online multiplayer and I'd love to see how it turns out.
    Well as humans they have the right to like and hate what the want.:P
    Tenchu is easily the WORST Xbox 360 game I have ever played.  Terrible graphics, terrible controls, terrible AI, terrible sound, terrible level design.  I will never dirty up my 360 with that trash.  I will be very suprised if it gets over a 3.5.
    I have to agree, its awful im afraid.

    @saints row...

    How is this game ? I am starting to play 360 again now that I got 1000 dollar lcd hdtv.  How is saints row and should I pick it up since its only 30 bucks and what other games are must haves for me ? I pretty much look for good deals on games on ebay most the time so money aint that big an issue as ill just look for the best deal.@saints row...
    When I rented it, it was surprizingly good. If you like GTA games of course.@saints row...
    I thought Saint's Row was a great game that had some noticeable faults. There are a number of noticeable bugs (I was driving on the highway and it DISAPPEARED) that can detract from the experience, but all in all, a decent game that for $30 would be worth getting. The story is a little... meh, but driving around is cool, and so is the insurance fraud mini-game.
    Saint's Row is a great game and definitely worth $30.   I am playing SR right now as a matter of fact.And they have announced Saint's Row 2 is being made and will come out in 2008, most likely summer or late 2008 is my guess. 
    It's pretty fun. Lots of bugs, but it's a great game.
    was worth it when i paid full price on release day, easily worth it now at $30, if anything it made me somewhat more excited for gtaiv since i originally had no interest in it but after playing saint's row I'll most likely be purchasing grand theft auto as well as the next installment in saints row

Granted it's not as flashy as any of the GTA games, but nonetheless it is very fun to play.  
    where is saints row 30 bucks? 
    $30 is the normal price for it new now everywhere.  It recently dropped from $49.99 to $29.99.
    [QUOTE=''CDWJUSTIN'']where is saints row 30 bucks? [/QUOTE]here 
    It's a great game, but yes.. Quite a few bugs, and the framerate issues may sometimes drive you nuts. But it's cheap too, and I'd recommend you get it. :)
    I had a fair amount of fun in that game and it loks nice it has its problems but for the price its at its deffinitely worth having it in your collection.
    I downloaded the demo few weeks ago, It feels like a next-gen GTA game.

    I think i have over 20 episodes of mxc on my dvr.  it just never gets old.
    not much anymore.  Why would I watch a channel that full of reruns of Cheaters and cops and what does it have to do with games?  I guess they cant make anymore new shows and now try to fill up the time.  Still love xplay and CNE.
    Hell no.  It was bad enogh theat Tech tv and G4 merged, but what the hell happened to them?What does Cops and the man show have to do with technology and videogames?And the shows that are actually about what G4 is suppose to be about are to busy goofin' their stupid asses off to actually stay on topic.I use to watch X-play but their to busy now goofin around.  Sure Morgan Webb is freakin hot, but you can only take so much stupidy. By the end of an episode they only cover like four games.  It's ridiculous.
    Nope. There's just too much crap on that channel. i.e. Cops, Attack of the Show, Cheat, X-Play, The Man Show, Star Trek, etc etc.Now, TechTV... that was a channel.
    Yea I'll watch X Play and AOTS, sometimes I'll watch cheat. Other the those shows I don't really watch it. I use to watch electric playground and Judgement Day

    I think G4 started to turn bad when the whole ''street fury'' thing happened.  After that, it just sucked.
    Nope. The only good thing on there now is Ninja Warrior. I think the gaming aspect of TV 4 GAMERS is gone.
    I don't watch G4 anymore. Ever since Kevin Perera took over every show, starting with Arena. Maybe his Dad owns G4?

    I liked the old G4 the show Icons was awesome now it sucks the only good show on it is Attack of the Show.

    Xbox live online gaming help?

    I just bought a year subscription so I can play online, but I'm having issues accepting  or starting games online? I can sent text messages and voice chat but can't seem to play online. I never set up the family settings so I believe that's not the issue. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.Xbox live online gaming help?
    that sounds like a silver subscription. your gamertag writing is the colour gold or silver.Xbox live online gaming help?
    When I'm in the dashboard it's Gold.
    Not sure exactly whats going on with you, but 1-800-4MY-XBOX is your best bet.
    yeah It might be your game because my first vegas game was defective and whenever I'd start a game It would always lose connection. any of your other games work.
    GOW doesn't work either. I'll try calling 1-800-4my-xbox. Thanks for the help.
