let's all take a moment and bow our heads, as today august 25th, 2007 my beloved xbox 360 has passed :'(

seriously though, red rings of death and no recovering. just got off the phone with xbox service repairs and i have to send it in for repair. anyone have any experience with this process? how long did it take to receive your new xbox? this really sucks as i'm told 3-4 weeks turn around. just joined and paid for a madden league i'm in with my son that starts next week :( at least this gives me a reason to tell the wife i need to upgrade to the elite :)

You want System Settings on the 360 dashboard (the purple one).

I hope this page helps a bit.

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/systemuse/xbox360/console/dashboard.htm

You should find everything you need under Network Settings.


still having the problem so not sure if the adapter is bad or the router but I guess I will just let my subscription lapse and be done with online gaming cause I am not gonna go buy a new adapter then it be the router or vice versa just be a waste of money.

I don't recall the answer to this question:

Do you guys know if the upcoming "limited edition" Halo version of the 360 has the new chipset, HDMI port, the whole package? I remember that it doesn't have the 120 GB HD, but what about the rest? I have an opportunity to possibly sell my current system along with some of the games I haven't played in an eternity, and was curious. Thanks in advance!

And Chugga---ouch. Oh well, it looks like for all the framerate issues that Oblivion did have, and the "dumbing down" from Morrowind (as far as the combat), it's still the champion of free-roaming RPGs on the 360.

HDMI, 20gb HDD, no 65nm.

The "Falcon" will have the 65nm chipset, but the GPU will still be 90nm.

If you have a Game Crazy near you, they'll do it for a buck or 2 i believe. if not, i bought one of those buffers myself (the handheld one) and it worked great, but if you only have one game, i'd go for the latter.

Awesome. Game Crazy does in fact clean your disc for a couple of bucks. Definitely worth a try. Might even trade in Lost Planet and pick up RB6V

That's why you buy from a place with a good return policy. :D

Were you at least able to see the network on the 360.

One other thing, if you security is set to WPA2 on your router, the 360 won't see it. You can only use WPA and WEP.

Doesn't it feel good to have a game where you think carefully about every move you make, though, man? It's uncommon these days to have a game where every upgrade you make, every plasmid you decide to carry in a slot (Ok, so no other game has plasmids, but you can just use "power", instead) you think carefully about, because you might not run into another station you can change out at for some time. I love it. I reloaded my save at my first weapon upgrade station like 5 times before finally deciding I was comfortable with upgrading my shotgun. It is my preferred weapon of destruction ---along with the plasmid which allows me to turn the Rosie's against the splicers & turrets. :cool:

It's just getting old now. WWII is no longer an interesting game concept. The game industry has squeezed every last drop of blood from that stone. Plus, the Medal of Honor series was always one of the weakest series of WWII games.

I can see COD4 being a big multiplayer game for some(all) of us. Much like Gears has been. It's definitly a first day buy for me.

BioShock I think for me is a game I will definitly play threw at least once more. Mainly because I heard there was at least 5 possiable endings.

I agree with you Smbdyfnkillme, but there are guys who love those WWII games and will buy/play them no matter what. And that's what I meant by my post. Like Flux said, I am so happy COD went modern on us. I was hoping they'd make a Korea/Nam themed game, but I dont know if that would be "PC". But then again I am surprised they made an Arab based game...

fluxcapacitorsandwich
08-26-2007, 11:46 AM

Finishing Gears on all 3 difficulties was a weird task for me. I beat General RAAM on Insane by myself, yet I needed the help of a buddy for Hardcore

The trick is to stock up on Torque Bow arrows and ammo for your sniper rifle; follow this procedure:

- Shoot torque bow at him, switch to sniper and headshot him
- Repeat until he starts running towards you, then blindfire your grenades at a banking point (a spot near him where you know the 'nades won't bounce away)
- Hop your bunker and run to the opposite side
- Repeat

avsfan21
08-26-2007, 12:29 PM
Well there are torque bows and sniper rifles in the train car right before you fight RAAM so just wait for them to respawn and max the ammo out. Also just leave Dom down if you are playing on your own. He is useless.

I tried all that, i guess i just suck. I beat it on hardcore pretty easily, i just can't get it on Insane for some reason. It's those reavers that keep taking my health down. That and i'm not very good at headshots i guess. I guess i'll just keep trying.

I did that last night with some ****** that joined my game, he didn't help much. RAAM was easy to beat on the other difficulties for me, but i can't for the life of me get it on insane, i tried all last night, and a few times today. I hate that guy.

Here is a question to the peeps that have played bioshock. What is your favorite weapon? Plasmid? and Tonic?

My favorite weapon is starting to be the crossbow. It is hard to hit people at times but it packs a punch plus a lot of times you can get your ammo back, with the regular bolts.

My Plasmid would probably be Incinerate!. I dont know it is just really fun to light people on fire.

My Tonic would probably be the Natural Camoflouge. It is just so handy sometimes to become invisible. When alarms are going off I just stop and become invisible and the bots just fly around looking for me.

I am going to have to completely agree with you. 3 for 3, those would be my answers. I love when you upgrade Incinerate, to I believe Incinerate 3 and your fire is blue.

That's what i've been doing, but it still doesn't help i suck at sniping :Dthere is a glitch to get the ammo car to stay open when you move out of it...you have to open both doors before the cutscene begins that way if you need more ammo you can get it just don't run in there when RAAM is on that side or the kryll will kill you.

but the way to do it is tourqe to get the kryll away from him and then head shot with the sniper and if you can hit him again with an active before the kryll surround him again. it is a pain in the ass so you might be doing this more than once which i am sure your aware of. if you need to toss nades (that is acutally how i killed him i got stuck on the wall and tossed two nades out of desperation and it actually killed him)

or the troyka might do the job as well not sure though i've never tried it

LOL - I can think of two distinct spots that sucked horribly on Veteran. Getting ambushed from the top on both sides and trying to get past the first part of the invasion. I beat the game on Veteran, but I did it before that patch came out, way back when the game came out, so it didn't record my achievement of beating it allt he way through b/c the "save" was messed up. I never wanted to do it again b/c of those two killer spots.

i looked it up, it's hard to say really, most the auctions i saw had like 5-6 games with it, they are all around $100, so it looks like i could get about $60-80 for it. I want to do it, but i'm not sure. I might call Gamestop/Gamecrazy and see what they give for systems. Probably not a lot though because i think they sell them for what? $99?

What deal was this??

It was the "Buy 1 Live accessory, get $20 off another" they had a few weeks back. I underestimated my local Circuit City, so I had to go to Best Buy. You basically got 2 Live 1,600 cards for the price of 1, if you chose to go that route.

Yea, I kinda gave up on getting into the COD4 beta. Plus i have no idea what the trivia questions and answers are :)

Me too. Their site was totalled yesterday. As great as it is developers are offering a chance to take part in Betas, Bungie created a monster. Of course, it's a free chance, so to be pissed off (Like some on GameFAQs) at Infinity Ward is a stretch. These same people will be there on 11/5 to get COD4. ;)

Actually i haven't even seen the show yet, i only download them to "preview" them, only because i hate streaming those videos off websites, it gets annoying.

Well I traded in some stuff today. I have Halo 3 paid in full and about 25 down on Mass Effect. By the way it is 20 dollars for a Xbox trade in, although I am not sure on the Halo Edition, since I have the regular one. So I might go the ebay route if I were you.

fluxcapacitorsandwich
08-28-2007, 12:04 PM
$20? damn that's horrible. I will have to tell my brother that because he wanted to sell his regular one, i bet he could sell it at a Yard sale and get more out of it. At least $50.

I'm going to call gamestop in a bit and see if they pay more for the Halo Edition, but i doubt it wouldn't be much, since it's still an xbox.

I might try ebay, i just hate shipping things, i'll keep an eye on the auctions i found for the same system, if they go for at least $80 i'll do it, if not, forget about it.

fluxcapacitorsandwich

Yep. All i did was install an update of Windows Media Player 9, then set it to share files, it should show the 360 icon, click that and you are ready to go, but i think it only works when the computer is on at the same time. The only downside is that the 360 won't read a lot of files, it mainly only reads WMA files unfortunately. I think there's something you can download in the marketplace that will allow you to play non-WMA files too.

Don't even waste your time. They'll give you $40 for the system; you're better off selling it on Craigslist

Don't even waste your time. They'll give you $40 for the system; you're better off selling it on Craigslist

I went to EB Games yesterday to pick up Vegas and trade in Lost Planet. They were going to give me $11.00 for LP (store credit) and charge me $54.99 for a used copy of Vegas (disc only)

They're crooks

Yeah i haven't bought or sold anything to them in a long time, they just rape you, i went in to turn in an Unused copy of Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and they wanted to give me $12 for it, LAME, i didn't take it obviously, i just gave it to my cousin, I'll try craigs list, if that doesnt work, i'll just keep it.

If you preorder at Target, you'll receive two free figures with the purchase of the game. I just pre-ordered the LE version. And I'm waiting for my 360 to arrive. I'm hoping that the new Halo will be better than the first. The trailers make the game look so cool.

I've never played Halo before... ever

but I'm getting it solely because a large number on my friends list will have it. I have no expectations, except for in a way I'm expecting to be disappointed. I absolutely love Rainbow Six's gameplay so it will have to live up to that for me. I'm sure it won't live up to the hype for me and I'm likley to be trading it in before CoD4 releases

PrimeBane
08-29-2007, 02:14 PM

The regular multiplayer probably won't hold a whole lot new for most other than new maps and graphical improovements from Halo 2.

As a fan of both the R6 series & Halo series, Nick---You will be disappointed, then. The 2 are nothing alike. Halo doesn't utilize any sort of cover system like R6: Vegas does. Halo is a more fast paced game than R6V is. Of course, R6V is nothing like the R6's before it, so maybe I'm wrong. I think that the Halo series has the best matchmaking on any console shooter (Possibly to change once CoD4 hits, but we'll see), and when you add in the Forge customizing option, I think it will be even better.

Don't buy it just to feel like you can play with the boardies again, though. You bucked the system by not sticking out Gears, so don't plunk down $60 (or more) this time, if you don't want to, man.

You're right when it comes to comparing the games. I enjoy both games but love the well done team based strategy that R6:V brings. I enjoyed Vegas more than GoW and I'm not sure what to expect from Halo 3.

I missed out on the multiplayer aspect of GoW and R6:V. Being that I recently signed up for Live and already sold my copies of GoW and R6:V.

That's why I bought Halo3. To play with board members. I dont mind spending the $ on the game. I am just going to be comparing it to Gears and COD2 alot though. But I already know they are nothing alike.

no, that's cool. I'm not expecting it to play just like RSV. I was referring to the fun factor and I'm sure that didn't come across very clear in my original post. I just finished my first real foray into CoD and loved every second of it. Yeah it's absolutely nothing like Vegas. It seems to be a lot more run and gun than Vegas, which seems to be what people are saying Halo is like. So I'll get Halo and I may even end up liking it more than I anticipate. Regardless, it actually is worth i to me in many cases to buy a game just for the multiplayer aspect to play with my friends. I'll spend $60 to play a game that I can learn to like while playing with my buds and have a great time any time.

But I gave up on Gears because I thought everyone else was and Rainbow was pulling me away anyway. Then everyone goes back and gets into Gears again. Ah well... c'est la vie.

It seems to be a lot more run and gun than Vegas, which seems to be what people are saying Halo is like.

You will have some who will strategize in Halo 3, but I think the whole dual-wielding/weapon-balance issues in Halo 2 ruined the game a bit. From what the Beta brought to us, it seems like weapon balance has been restored. Of course, with the custom matchmaking options (Not to mention Forge), a party could always take out/add in whatever they don't want in the match.

But I gave up on Gears because I thought everyone else was and Rainbow was pulling me away anyway. Then everyone goes back and gets into Gears again. Ah well... c'est la vie.

I tried to get people to play R6: Vegas too, man, but it didn't work. I think I played with Cory, Chugga, and Keith a total of 2 times overall, but that was it. I didn't see a reason why the 2 couldn't be balanced out. :confused:

it's actually my first foray into Call Of Duty ever... well, not ever. I did attempt to play CoD 3 because a bunch of friends were playing it so I rented it.

Anyhoo... I'm actually loving the beta. there seems to be a lot more going on than in say R6V, but that's not a bad thing. I have to get used to not having a scope unless I have a sniper rifle, but it's not too bad.

I'm loving the SAW LMG, but the sniper w/ ghillie suit is sweet too. I just ranked up last night to where I can create my own classes and customize it. I picked an AK-47, painted w/ woodland camo with the grenade launcher attachment and stopping power and deep impact perks and I love it!!

I have to admit, after having switched to NHL2K when it first hit the Dreamcast, this is the first season where I am going to rent both at the same time, instead of the 2K game first, then the EA one. I feel 2K/Kush has gotten lazy the past few seasons. Even though I thought the skill sticks for EA were new and interesting last season, though, they didn't make a 100% solid game. I hope that changes this year, and both developers put out top-notch products.
