Microsoft does have a solution...it's called calling support.

If they let you do this online, then there'd be lots of privacy issues.

I got my xbox back in 1 week with a note saying "we replaced your xbox and updated your registration online with the new S/N"

8/20/2007 1:24:13 PM

Was it brand new?

8/20/2007 1:25:12 PM

If you havent already yall should download the XBLA game Track and Field...good multiplayer button mashing action

8/20/2007 1:25:30 PM

The 25MB (6 slot) storage for Halo 3 will be for saved games (instant replay), recent game types, etc

I probably won't need extra storage, most of my friends that will be playing halo 3 don't have live, so I won't need to share much online

8/20/2007 1:33:30 PM

halo 3 without live is almost like a computer with no internet

ITS FUCKING STUPID

8/20/2007 1:49:22 PM

I got it all resolved, thanks everybody.

or you just leave it plugged in overnight with the xbox turned off/plug it into your desktop's usb port or a laptop's usb port?

got my 360 back. had a disc read error half way through my first baseball game. hope this isnt a sign of things to come.

the system was assembled on 8-8-07 though, so hopefully it has the new cooling system.

8/20/2007 11:26:11 PM

Yep it's new.

The one I got 2 weeks ago was assembled July 26th, 2007.

8/20/2007 11:50:16 PM

8/21/2007 12:06:51 AM

i got a question

how come i can't connect online while i live in wolf village. I connect the eth. cable to the 360 and the outlet but yet it wont connect. Anybody know y or what i have to do to get connected

8/21/2007 1:30:53 AM

How do I transfer gamerscore points from a player profile on my 360 to a separate online gamertag?

Quieter and cooler...the dvd drive also seems better. The last one used to start grinding in the middle of gameplay.

8/21/2007 11:20:21 AM

yeah they put better fans on, a new heatsink system, and a new DVD drive thats much quieter.

Goddamit, now I want that revision...

8/21/2007 12:23:20 PM

skate. demo on marketplace

timed 30 min demo

Quote :

"There are a few things the tutorial doesn't teach. So here are some quick tips to help you get the most of the new skate demo. 1. Setting Markers - Hold the Left Bumper. Hit up on the d-pad to set a marker. Now you can hold LB and tap up on the d-pad to instantly return to your marker. So you can be at the top of some stairs, set the marker, and just keep trying to perfect that line. 2. Pumping - Pumping is really helpful in bowls and half-pipes. You can gain and maintain speed without putting your foot on the ground. While skating, hold down on either trigger. This will get your skater to start squating for a grab. Release the trigger when he is about halfway down. Repeat. You'll see he is pumping his legs. And yes, this is something done in real life. 3. Manuals - When you are about to land, push the Right Thumbstick up or down about halfway or so. When done right, you will end up in a manual. It takes a little practice to get the hang of, so you have to try a few times to feel where the stick should be for a manual. 4. Powerslides - You don't really need these in the park, but you will when bombing hills in the retail game. When skating, pull back diagonally on the Left Stick to powerslide. This is a good way to slow yourself quickly. and you get points for it, unlike when you hit the brake button. 5. Keep Experimenting - Every trick is already unlocked... you just have to figure them out! You can do every trick in skate in the demo. Just keep trying crazy stuff out and see what you can come up with. "

halo 2 campaign also will no longer play. Worked fine on a buddy's xbox about a week ago, now on mine it claims it's a bad disc

8/21/2007 3:55:31 PM

8/21/2007 6:23:40 PM

8/21/2007 7:09:00 PM

8/21/2007 8:07:11 PM

Man, adding XVID support would be over the top....no way.

The first list allegedly detailing the feature set of the Xbox 360 Fall Dashboard Update has landed on Xbox Forums, and promises some wonderful possibilities. None more so than Xvid codec support. But opening up the console's media player to this popular video format would almost certainly take away from the blossoming success of Video Marketplace; an apparent contradiction that makes this rumored feature list both suspect and deliciously compelling.

Also included in the supposed leak are plans for a new XBLA blade, IPTV support, integrated clan functionality, a PIP setting, and improved slideshow effects. But it's not all good, as the list also anticipates the emergence of Flash-based advergames -- yuck! If it's true, let's hope the following Spring Update includes a pop-up blocker.

8/22/2007 1:17:45 AM

so I just finished The Darkness and I must say this is probably the best rental ive played in a long time. It has excellent levels, kick ass action and outstanding gore. Not to mention that there are TON of unlockables and secrets all over the game. I wouldnt buy this because you can complete the game in a couple of days rather easily and I do not care about multiplayer.

[Edited on August 22, 2007 at 1:29 AM. Reason : not to mention its 2K so you know its got some goodies]

8/22/2007 1:28:40 AM

I just got my beta token for Call of Duty 4!!!! w00t w00t

8/22/2007 3:11:58 AM

^^ A couple of days?? It took me over a week to go through and find all of the phone numbers

Then again, I guess I was only playing about an hour a day...that's what a real job does to ya

8/22/2007 9:25:59 AM

I'd be really surprised if they decided to support Xvid, as it would really cannibalize their whole video marketplace dealio.

That said, it would totally kick ass.

8/22/2007 9:31:31 AM

The Skate demo didn't work for me the first time. I don't think I got the full download, but I'm going to try and d/l it again tonight. My connection probably cut off on me during the d/l.

I still want to play skate though.

8/22/2007 9:44:57 AM

something tells me that the segment using the video market place the most would continue to do so.

8/22/2007 10:53:09 AM

yes, but they are trying to expand that segment. Offering a free alternative is not a good way to do that.

8/22/2007 11:22:13 AM

Joystiq reports Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix will be out Aug. 29th on XBLA. Aug. 30th for PS3.

8/22/2007 11:26:09 AM

btw a few days ago they released the demo for "Beautiful Katamari" or whatever its called...havent played it yet but its in my download queue

8/22/2007 11:33:37 AM

I didn't like that game...no way I would pay $60 for it.

8/22/2007 11:34:43 AM

somebody mentioned a couple months ago that it would be released...the youtube video i watched looked kind of cool but yeah it certainly seemed like it could be quite repetitive

course why you'd pay $60 for any game is beyond me considering

yeah I've had Gamefly for a couple months now. I've been kinda disappointed at the lack of games that have the "Keep it" option, but yesterday I saw one of my games I have out had it for the price of $48.99....and it was none other than Bioshock. So I'll probably decide to keep it, and slap on the Rewards $5 off coupon to bring it down even lower

8/22/2007 11:50:55 AM

that Beautiful Katamari game (demo) is actually pretty cool...very simple concept but surprisingly addictive

8/23/2007 9:33:59 PM

i've played both on the ps2

it's one of those games where you think it looks stupid, but actually is fun

8/23/2007 10:52:05 PM

I just hate how short the demo is... u don't get to pick up buildings in that little time.

The biggest i got was like 5.4 meters... I could pick up the food carts but immediately after that my time was up.

But that is how they are making me buy the whole game I guess


btw I reserved my copy of Halo 3 today and am planning on picking it up at midnight on taking the next day off of work to sit at home and be a complete nerd. Someone please tell me I am not the only loser I've been breaking out Halo 2 to get my skillz back in check yo

8/23/2007 11:16:35 PM

loved halo 1, but halo 2 came out at a bad time for me so i just skipped that iteration. gonna rock 3 most likely though.

8/23/2007 11:57:26 PM

^^yeah i broke 5 meters one time...i want to be able to bust up in that gate and get the huge bears and the massive cow

do the full game boards have similar timelimits or are there also free roam modes or how is it set up?

[Edited on August 24, 2007 at 12:02 AM. Reason : .]

8/24/2007 12:00:48 AM

I never played the PS2 versions but from what I've seen the time limits are longer for sure. And I ALMOST GOT ONE OF THOSE BEARS!!! If you get to high 4m's (somewhere around there) then do a dash into the gates that hold them, the gates break down. I've only been able to do it twice and both times I only got off one gate door and nothing really happened... but I could smell the giant bears... yes sir

8/24/2007 12:14:50 AM

yeah i just got both doors open at about 4.5 meters but couldnt get the bears
