Just noticed Vigilante 8 is on Live now. Why am I the first to comment on this? This game rocks, I had both titles on the 64 and am sort of surprised it has taken Activision this long to bring it back. I don't buy a lot of Arcade games but in this case it is well worth it.

Anyone want to PM me a referal code for Netflix that will get me a free month?

Also can anyone tell me if Hellboy 2 is available for instant watch? We really want to watch that movie tonight, and I will signup for netflix if its available for on my xbox.

You get a two-week free trial for signing up.

11/22/2008 5:49:00 PM

yeah i know, but there are free month codes floating around the internets

11/22/2008 5:54:02 PM

Why do you want a free month? Are you planning on canceling it anyway?

11/22/2008 5:58:09 PM

for the same fucking reason i'd rather have 4 free movie tickets as opposed to 2. does it really matter why? i've asked a simple question and you've provided just troll responses.

if anyone has a referal code, I plan on signing up over the next few days

11/22/2008 11:12:46 PM

^^Yeah, seriously. Who wouldn't want to save 8-9 dollars.

^ I found this, maybe some of the codes will work for you:

Anyone know of Black Friday deals for 360 games? I'm looking to pick up at least Left 4 Dead, if not Mirror's Edge too, on the cheap.

11/27/2008 5:12:11 PM

Left 4 dead is gonna be $40 at amazon tomorrow.

11/27/2008 6:19:54 PM

End War is on Sale at best buy for like 37. If anyone sees GOW2 on sale somewhere let me know

11/27/2008 8:53:43 PM

Hoping to pick up NCAA 2009, MAdden and Nascar 09 or NBA live 09 tomorrow at Wal Mart for$30 each

11/27/2008 10:08:26 PM

So according to some deals I found, Target will be offering Dead Space for $30 today. I'm at work though and probably won't be able to make it over there until lunch time... do you guys think I should even bother or should I just expect that the Black Friday shoppers will have already taken them by that time?

11/28/2008 8:42:35 AM

Dead Space has been out for awhile, but you can never know either way. Best bet would be to call and see if they have any right before you go. Target isn't really a high priority store as far as buying games go, they usually have popular titles on the shelf when Gamestop etc will sell out everything from preorders.

11/28/2008 10:07:23 AM

They didnt have shit after like 9 am

11/28/2008 3:47:13 PM

its funny, all I use my xbox for is NCAA, occasional Madden game, and Uno

11/28/2008 3:50:08 PM

yeah.... so the new guitar hero does not work with the standard xbox controller like the previous versions.... I just wasted 6 bucks at Blockbuster

11/28/2008 3:57:43 PM

^ GH:WT doesn't work with the x-plorer controller?

11/28/2008 3:59:45 PM

is that what I said...?



No, no it is not. The good old fashioned standard xbox 360 controller. Not a guitar controller

11/28/2008 4:02:48 PM

haha oh ok

11/28/2008 4:03:44 PM

I need to take it back and get sumfin else that is a party-like game..maybe the new Scene It. I have the buzzer controllers for that one

11/28/2008 4:05:21 PM

You are retarded if you though it would work.

11/28/2008 5:22:33 PM

i just beat GOW2 and realized a guy from my high school is one of the designers at Epic...Western Alamance High School represent!

11/28/2008 7:24:24 PM

^^ plz to explain?

Considering it works for every previous Guitar Hero game, I think it was a fair assumption....

11/29/2008 4:08:10 AM

Is it like RB in that the controller now only corresponds to the microphone instead of an actual input for any instrument?

11/30/2008 10:58:34 AM

yup the standard controller is only good for a microphone

11/30/2008 11:01:53 AM

yeah they are based right down the street in CARY off of Dillard Dr. They have some pretty nice damn cars in their parking lot too.

11/30/2008 1:36:14 PM

is xbox live fucked up?

when i sign in it says some services are unavailable and like the only thing that shows up is the 'my xbox' tab

I'm Big Business and i approved this message.

11/30/2008 6:45:03 PM

^yeah, i'm getting that too. it comes back for a minute and then goes out again

11/30/2008 6:53:00 PM

I realized I don't have anything to do on my 360. I don't like playing online in COD4 or Halo 3 (right now), Ninja Gaiden 2 on Master is too much, finished the co-op on GOW1, and don't feel like playing any of those shooters on a higher difficulty.

I've been playing the hell out of some demos

11/30/2008 7:24:06 PM

hahahaha

So....I have a loaner laptop from the bookstore, and after downloading the netflix app to my 360, I go to http://www.netflix.com/activate and put in the code. However, I realized after I put in the code that I was logged in as someone else (the last guy to use this computer)

I wonder if this will fuck his shit up.

---

Shit, its gonna fuck MY shit up. I can't queue up different movies. Is there a way to unlink an Xbox from an account? There's no options inside the Netflix app...

[Edited on November 30, 2008 at 8:41 PM. Reason : god dammit]

11/30/2008 8:37:44 PM

i had the same issue, but due to laziness, have yet to find how to change it (though i have been assured it can be)

11/30/2008 8:45:09 PM

I fixt it. I went:

Dashboard -> System Settings -> Memory -> Hard Drive -> Game Demos -> Netflix -> Netflix Credentials (its like 68 KB)

and deleted the Netflix Credentials. Then I was able to go back onto it and get a new activation code.

11/30/2008 8:49:14 PM

Ok I'm looking to really engulf myself in a game should i go with Halo 3 or Fallout 3. I dont know much about each other than people like them..

12/1/2008 2:14:28 PM

what kind of games do you like?

oblivion or half-life?

12/1/2008 3:46:47 PM

Oblivion definitely

12/1/2008 4:18:46 PM

Then get Fallout.

12/1/2008 5:34:10 PM

ive never had a game console in my life but i asked for XBOX 360 for christmas and a few of my friends want me to play Halo with them... (God i sound like a douche)

WHAT GAMES DO YOU RECOMMEND IF I LIKE SHOOTER/ACTION/FANTASY STUFF?

plz to be nice, i am no good at this gaming stuff, BUT IM GUNNA BE!

12/2/2008 1:46:44 PM

Halo? Thats ancient. Pick up gears 1 and gears 2.

Gears of War 1 and 2 (so you can follow the story)
Fable II (RPG / fantasy)


[Edited on December 2, 2008 at 1:52 PM. Reason : .]

12/2/2008 1:51:37 PM

army of two (we have played the shit out of this game)
mass effect is sort of a shooter, but like, an mmofps
call of duty 4
left4dead
bioshock

12/2/2008 2:34:03 PM

Gears 1 and 2.
Then just browse the Xbox Live Arcade.

12/2/2008 2:35:57 PM

yeah, if you're going to play Halo, might as well play the 3rd one.

and definitely check out Dead Rising.

12/2/2008 3:25:10 PM

yes to army of two.
yes to mass effect (But its not like an mmofps...its more of a rpgfps but barely)
yes and cod 5 world at war
yes to bioshock too!

12/2/2008 4:32:25 PM

Be sure to only rent bioshock, and I would say only rent mass effect

and assassin's creed is a fun little rental

so is star wars: force unleashed

12/2/2008 4:48:53 PM

I LOVED Mass Effect. The second I finished it (as a paramore soldier), I played through it again as a renegade psychic and it was noticeably different. Although it does take a while to finish if you plan on finishing all the side missions. I just really liked how much backstory and history that it went into... and if you didn't care about all that stuff you can easily skip through it. Oh yeah and alien sex scene ftw!

12/2/2008 5:01:30 PM

Mass Effect is pretty short, even if you play through all the optional stuff.

Bioshock is a little more than a rental I would say, its story is pretty immerssive and really fun.

12/2/2008 5:22:53 PM

good job on getting a 360 and not a wii or ps3

I'm Big Business and i approved this message.

12/2/2008 5:29:11 PM

I liked banging that chick Ashley in Mass Effect

12/2/2008 5:43:59 PM

yeah I actually boned up during that scene, she was hot as fuck

they need more sex in games

then I won't have to hop on the computer and beat afterwards

12/2/2008 5:59:29 PM
