X-Box 360 (If you Have it only)

[avsfan21]

Very true, however since EA acquired Bioware there have been rumors of Mass Effect going multiplatform... if this is true, then ME stays a 360 exclusive.

Not necessarily. It even says in the thing you posted that they are either Exclusive or first on. So that could be that it will be released on the 360 first then down the road for the PS3.

[Radiation74]

Anyone have any info on how to turbo mod a controller? My son wants one for his bday.

Any help would be sweet.

[WingNut 25]

OK, so I just finished LOST. What the F was that ending all about? Has anyone taken the time to research an answer?

[avsfan21]

It would probably take more time to research then to finish the game.

i don't watch the show all i've been told was it was a typical LOST ending

I've got a xbox live gold 48 hour code if anyone wants it just PM me

[R. Giles]

Downloaded Service pack 3 a couple days ago and ever since it's really tough to get on live. I guess microsoft has no ****ing clue what they are doing. Might uninstall SP3 and stick with SP2.

[someguy6000]

how come every game i put in my xbox requires that i download an update?

what is everyone playing these days?

[R. Giles]

Been playing some Mercs 2 which had an update the same day it came out, Pro Evolution Soccer 08 that's about it.

[someguy6000]

Nice custom there. I was on forza a couple days ago and a picture of my eclipse in the game. I've been working on a UK police Mitsubishi Evolution which I'll post when done. Heres the pic I was talking about:

Xbox 360 is the best console.......ever!

[avsfan21]

If you gift them back, I might be able to help. Although I am not sure when I can do it.

[CJF28]

i so wanted forza, just to make my own cars. but it is so damn hard. i dont know how anyone does those things. it must take days.

[Spanky2324]

It's just about getting used to the whole desgin layout and shapes of things. If you just think about it in your spare time it will come to you. Or there is forums where you can pay somebody to do a design for you.

[someguy6000]

If you gift them back, I might be able to help. Although I am not sure when I can do it. i would gift them back of course if and when you do just let me know. thanks mike

the barricade took me about 2 hours i think maybe a little longer the part that sucked is when i copied the letters from one side of the car to the other it copied them backwards so i had to go through and turn them all around

[CJF28]

what about the people that make the gears of war cars? or the superhero cars? things like that. how long would that take?

[Jamesweighs]

Here's some of my race replicas. I made 36 of them. Mostly LeMans, American LeMans, WTCC, and some of my old Gran Turismo favorites.

I'd spend days to a week on a car, little chunks each night. Custom logos, custom text, custom vents, etc.
It's nothing compared to the airbrush artist guys.

Some of the stuff they do is jaw dropping. Few of my forza painting buddies will spend weeks on a car.

[avsfan21]

I wish I had the talent and patience to do that. Your cars are awesome. Personally I think it is so much nicer to see cars that were actually real race cars compared to the gears of war car or some naked chick on it.

[CJF28]

i disagree. its never wrong to see a nakkid chick ANYWHERE. Unless its a relative. or she weighs more than you do

[avsfan21]

I dont know there isnt that much great with what looks like 8-bit porn.

[someguy6000]

the naked chicks crack me up. the airbrush stuff is nice i just wish i could zoom in more than they let you. thats one of the reasons i didn't put the correct police shield on barricade. the stuff i've seen on forza is sweet as hell my personal favorite i've seen was the "here's johnny" from the shinning freakin sweet

[supertim]

At a friends house...Hurricane Ike knocked out power in my town, and as of this past Sunday, it could take few as one to as much as four weeks without power. Everyone we know (even in the sticks!) has power, but we don't. Don't get me wrong, we are happy for our friends, but it kind of stings when we live in a nicer neighborhood and pay higher property taxes. To be fair, my neighborhood has a lot of trees down, and crews are just now getting in here. My pregnant wife and I are thankful that nothing happened to our home, but it would be nice to have power. The Houston media only talks about Houston and Galveston, so we have to get our news about our part of the world second hand. What happened in Galveston is horrid, but take a short break to talk about other communities.

Sorry for the rant, just tired of the dark. That, and I miss immediate access to high-def devices.

Is Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway going to be any good? If you pre-order it on amazon, it's only $56.99 and comes with a code for intel/recon reports.

Thanks, Matt. We are thrilled and delighted that we had no damage to any personal property. Having no power is not thrilling or delightful, though.

My wife and I optimistically estimate that we will have power on Monday. Lord, I hope so. Hope you and your family are doing well :)

I was just about to post about this!!!! Kudos to Criterion for continuing to make an already great game even better. Supposed to be a completely new island next month :D

Do you play online? I haven't completed any online challenges yet :o

I tried it when it first came out. It was a bit disorganized since everyone was only trying to do stunts. I bet they are more racing going on now so I got to give it another try since the bikes are out now. They really are lots of fun to use. I saw that they are supposed to be 4 right now but they only give you 2 to start so unlocking them might be really fun. Let me know if and when you want to get down.

[Jamesweighs]

I know I'm late in getting it, but I picked up Battlefield: Bad Company to play online with some friends.

Damn if that isn't FPS crack rock online!

I need some help from you Xbox Live gurus. I have been waiting 4 months for Xbox to get back to me on my service issue. Basically what happened is I did not log into my MSN account for quite some time so they went and cancelled it. As a result, I have a gamer tag but can never play on Live with it now. They claim this has happened to many, many people and they have no way to fix it. The account is corrupted and it is what it is. So my question is this, can I create a new gamer tag for my 360 that I can use to play on Live without it deleting my current gamer tag and achievements?

If the data tied to the tag is corrupt, you're hosed I think. A new tag/account is the only way to get up and running again, I'd think.

can you log onto any MSN live website like bungie.com or xbox.com you log in with the email and password connected to your gamertag. if not couldn't MS just change the email and password connected to the gamertag?

[WingNut 25]

According to this supervisor, there is nothing they can do once an account has been deleted. She said in order to play on Live I need a new gamertag. I'm not deleting the one I have. My question is can I have 2 gamertags on my Xbox?

oh yeah you can have 2 not sure about the limit of tags or even if there is one you should get a free month of LIVE as well for it as well

ok if JayTwoFive is deleted couldnt you just reconvert your tag to a LIVE account? then you could keep your tag and your achivements

I may be in the minority or may be destined for doom because I have had my live over a year now and never logged into my msn. Matter of fact I don't even remember what I registered it as. How can I find out what I set it up as go to msn and request a lost username/and password?. Don't want this to happen to me as well.

[WingNut 25]

Just try logging on.

how much does xbox 360 live cost?

[CJF28]

$50 for a year, if you want to play online. its free, if you only want downloads and updates

[shegone]

like what kind of updates and downloads are available? how do i hook it up?

[CJF28]

so, do we have a definite date of when the dashboard switch will be available?

[someguy6000]

visit www.xbox.com (http://www.xbox.com)

so, do we have a definite date of when the dashboard switch will be available?


all i have read is "fall" but i can't wait for the update. favorite feature is the netflix at the moment and the look of the new dashboard

[giantSFortyniners]

i heard most likely november

[Mr_Gone]

I'm pissed because all my gamer pics i've downloaded are gonna be worthless once the switch happens.

[someguy6000]

I'm pissed because all my gamer pics i've downloaded are gonna be worthless once the switch happens.
one of the reasons i've only downloaded the free ones

[avsfan21]

I am not really looking forward to this next dashboard update. The whole avatar thing is just really stupid. Plus last time there was a dashboard update, it pretty much killed live for a while. I know they blamed it on Halo, but it was an issue before halo even came out.

[someguy6000]

not a fan of the avatars i guess i don't understand the draw with them i think comming to playstation's "home" and nintendo's mii at least with the mii they can be incorporated to some titles although not many so they serve some type of purpose

[Graham]

I'm pissed because all my gamer pics i've downloaded are gonna be worthless once the switch happens.

You can still use them.......nobody knows how yet, but gamerpics and themes are still gonna be used.

My anticipated faves in BOLD

[CJF28]

ive sent two in and had no problems. now, to get the PS3 repaired its going to cost $150

[xGGAx]

I have officially joined the RRoD club today. I thought I was one of the lucky ones but meh. :( Time to contact Microsoft.

[Master Windu]

2 weeks until Fable 2 is released!! I hope this one is better then the first.

[thereturnofthefiend5]

gears of war 2 less than a month away!!

[Spanky2324]

Did anyone get a call from gamestop? I was called a few days back about MS not offering the Fable 2 limited edition anymore but they will still include the bonus dvd for $69.99. I had them change it to just the regular edition for me.

[Davis]

you guys seen this youtube vid of the next Halo game yet? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2b1D5w82yU

Nope I never got a call, I'll call my store now and see what they have to say.

Just got off the phone and the girl said the figure was canceled and in game cards? Not sure what they are, but the in game content is still there and the price dropped by $10 bucks.

[someguy6000]

For the Hardware, consider yourself lucky then. Lately they've even been getting the wrong consoles out with mismatching power supplies.

But you haven't even had DRM issues with downloaded content? Try accessing the content offline...
they have fixed that issue check out xbox.com... just curious do you actually own a 360 and are a disgruntled customer or just a sony fanboy?

[CJF28]

i can see why your bitter. But I dont have any issues with my DLC. the worst problem is sometimes, i have to redownload Puzzlequest, which is no big deal. it DLs in like 5 seconds, since its just "unlocking" the game.

[CJF28]

ok, Ill go turn it on now. what do you want me to do?

[CJF28]

ok, i unplugged my internet, and it still worked

Nov 7th can't come fast enough... this game is going to kick all sorts of ass! :D
no it can't i would say lets get some boardie matches going but not everyone is on at the same time anymore and i think only a couple of us still own the game

[CJF28]

you guys couldnt handle me.

[oaktown2000]

no it can't i would say lets get some boardie matches going but not everyone is on at the same time anymore and i think only a couple of us still own the game


I still have Gears 1....but the damn Green button on my controller sticks....it's why I've avoided even getting on my 360 lately (unless its GH II). If I press it once....I need to mash it like 30 times to get it to free up...it's pain in the azz. I've been trying to hold off on buying another until Gears 2 comes out.

[CJF28]

you should try playing with the guitar. wonder how that would work out.

I too, still have gears 1. Would be down for some gametime this weekend. of course, i would have to buy gold again. but, what the hell. you guys are worth it

[gammerx]

I am like always playing Halo 3 when I am on, IMO they messed up online because Big team was my fave but then they added all new stuff to it... sad panda =( gears 2 will be amazing, can some people leave me their GTs so I can add you?

[gammerx]

Just watched that new gears clip....GoW2 FIGURES WILL BE INSANE!!!!

[someguy6000]

hey if we can get a full room i'm in for this weekend

[Facehugger88]

The "vehicle" sections in the Gears2 video look outstanding! I wasn't really all that excited for the game until now.

[oldboy26]

ive sent two in and had no problems. now, to get the PS3 repaired its going to cost $150

before the lawsuit, Microsoft was charging upwards of $100 to fix 360s, so what is your point? All game companies screw you thru warranties, except PS3s die at a rate of 1 for every 10,000 where as Xbox dies 1 every 30....(Rough estimates but closer than you think...)

[someguy6000]

100 dollars is still cheaper than 150

whats my point? I paid zero for my xbox repairs, and now its $150 for the ps3 repair. so I would say $150 difference in my point

[someguy6000]

cory do you know if the 150 is the across the board fix it price or does it vary?

[PrimeBane]

I think $150 is pretty standard... I've heard that number a lot.

I'd be down for some Gears this weekend. :)

[CJF28]

cory do you know if the 150 is the across the board fix it price or does it vary?

im not sure, when I called, I told the guy it was overheating, and he asked if the red lights on the front flashed. I said I didnt know. He said "well, you need to make sure, because if they do, that means its overheating. if they dont its something else. and if you send it in saying it overheats, thats all they are going to look for and send it back". So, once I told him they were flashing he said it was $150, and that included shipping both ways

[oldboy26]

whats my point? I paid zero for my xbox repairs, and now its $150 for the ps3 repair. so I would say $150 difference in my point

The point is if 360s were made right the FIRST time, you would have been paying for the repiar, but since they screwed over 30% of their customers they had to repair them for free....what is the PS3 failure rate again? Oh yeah around 2% or less....

[CJF28]

like I care about yours or other peoples systems. Mine broke, MS fixed it for free. the PS3 broke, I have to pay to fix it.

[CJF28]

and if PS3s were made right the first time, I wouldnt be shelling out $150 right now to get it fixed. again, you make no point

[Jason62]

If anyone cares Rockband.com is up and running. You can load your band and take pics of your band and characters. You can make posters and shirts and you can even make figures. figures run around 70 bucks.

[oldboy26]

and if PS3s were made right the first time, I wouldnt be shelling out $150 right now to get it fixed. again, you make no point

dude just accept that M$ doesn't give a **** about you and would prefer you buy a whole new system instead of fixing your precious for free.

[CJF28]

And I doubt you'd feel the same way if you'd gone through the same experience I have with Microsoft. But as he was saying, 2% failures are more acceptable than 30%. Sure, it stinks if you're part of the 2%. But you have to look at it from a top level.


no i dont. I have to look at it at a "me" level. Again, if mine broke down and wasnt under warranty, are you chipping in and getting me a new one? is oldboy? no, because everyone only cares about themselves. and in my experience, mine was fixed for free. Does that mean I think they like me? no, Im not waiting for any Xmas cards. And they arent out saving baby seals. but in MY experiences, they've fixed where Ive been wronged.

[CJF28]

dude just accept that M$ doesn't give a **** about you and would prefer you buy a whole new system instead of fixing your precious for free.

where did I say they cared about me? im not under any false assumptions. I know if they could, they would screw me over to the best of their abilities. Thats what MS is founded on.

what the hell do you care anyways? Im not telling everyone to go buy a 360, or to boycott the PS3. Im saying in MY experiences, MS was alot more helpful than sony.

[oaktown2000]

who pooped on your cornbread ?

[CJF28]

what is that? some kind of racist comment because im black?

Fracture...what a fun game. I rented it last night. might be one of the best games by Lucas Arts. I think I might actually buy it. I now it's only been getting normal or fare ratings online but you would really have to check it out for yourself. Maybe not worth $60 but worth buying later on IMO.

[TastySweetNutz]

I'm really enjoying it so far. Graphics and atmosphere is spot on for a SH game. The only negative for me so far is that the protagonist might be a little too skilled. But overall it's better than a 6 but I haven't gotten too far since I can't play these type of games at night.

I downloaded the demo on my PS3 and thought it was a blast. Granted.....I only played like part of the first mission.......but a very interesting concept. I could imagine that online would be crazy.....with hills popping up....and sinkholes dropping down...all over the place.

[supertim]

I'm renting it, but what do yall think of Brothers In Arms: HH?

I'm glad I've rented it so far - not saying it isn't worth $60, but I'd never blind buy this one. I did that with Mercs 2, and I feel like I've got my money's worth despite not completing the majority of the game. Thankfully I didn't pay full price for Mercs 2, had a gift card and ended up paying $36 and change. Still, I guess it's my own fault for having that "I want a new game" feeling at the time.

Anyone doing COD:W@W beta? Got my code today, hopefully on tonight.

[someguy6000]

where do you get the beta

[oaktown2000]

the newer models seem to have a better life span

I had my original 360 since launch...never had a single problem with it...other then it sounded like a jumbo jet taking off. Just traded it in for an Elite for the bigger hard drive and HDMI (plus the black matches the rest of my components). I'll be pissed if this one gets a RROD anytime within the next three years....as my original one didn't. I beleive it all has to do with ventilation.....and all of my components are well ventilated.

[avsfan21]

Mine was pretty well ventilated when I got the RROD.

[Smbdyfnkillme]

Anyone doing COD:W@W beta? Got my code today, hopefully on tonight.

I'm downloading it now.

where do you get the beta

There was a COD Beta thread a few days ago that had a french site that you had to log onto to sign up for a beta. I'm not sure if they still have any codes though.

You can also get a code by preordering from Gamestop.

[Mack]

Mine was pretty well ventilated when I got the RROD.

As was mine :cool:

[J3-M8]

Well, I got the E 74, with 1 red light on. I called the XBox people and they will fix it. Mine lasted 10 months. How long do they usually take to come back?

[The Gollum]

My first system was from launch. Never had a problem the 2 years I had it, then sold it for tuition money in a bind. As far as I know it's still alive and kicking.

[Kevo Head]

Well, I got the E 74, with 1 red light on. I called the XBox people and they will fix it. Mine lasted 10 months. How long do they usually take to come back?

I got mine two weeks after I sent it away. I wasn't expecting it for another week. I even got my original art work system!:D

[GhettoEnhanced]

NICE! I just got a COD:WaW token sent to me by Activision...
See you in game...

GT: Ghetto360

[supertim]

My first system was from launch. Never had a problem the 2 years I had it, then sold it for tuition money in a bind. As far as I know it's still alive and kicking.

I sold my launch console last year to get the Elite. Never had a problem with it. It was sold to a Best Buy employee that I'm "friends" with. I felt like an ass when he told me it began freezing up constantly. Even though it was out of warranty, I offered to pay to have MS fix the thing (if the even do that), but he repeatedly told me not to worry about it. Still feel like a tool, though.

That really isnt all that shocking really. I mean just based on the number of 360s now out there than were back then. I am sure most picked up gears well after it was released when they started getting 360s.

[GhettoEnhanced]

OK... just peaked at level 11 in COD5. The 3 maps are bad ass and can't wait for the full game.

Im sure Chugga is already livin the Thug Life

[gammerx]

I might be up to playing with some of you guys

[Gooker1]

Are you guys referring to COD5 or GOW2? I played GOW for two days, then bailed, i finally beat the game a few months ago. :)

[TastySweetNutz]

I think they're referring to GOW2. I know there was a group that was die hard GOW and every now and then we hear a few of those tales. It was before I joined LIVE so I don't have much to offer.

[PrimeBane]

GoW2... many a late nights were spend chainsawing each other. :D

We started out with ranked games, but after they nixed the user list we went to regular games.

Some nights, I can still hear Keith say with disgust "You gotta be f n kidding me." :D

[CJF28]

or the arguements over who nade tagged someone that was downed, and killed a teammate, but not the downed opponent.

i cant wait

[Smbdyfnkillme]

I'll start a B team for GOW campaign mode since I'm excluded from the cool kids.:(

im up for some GOW1 this weekend, just for nastalgia. anyone?

[PrimeBane]

I'll start a B team for GOW campaign mode since I'm excluded from the cool kids.:(

With the number here picking up the game, I'm sure we'll be able to have several coop games going. And I'm sure if someone is late, an extra will be picked up.

im up for some GOW1 this weekend, just for nastalgia. anyone?

I'd like to, but it will depend on the time.

[Smbdyfnkillme]

What time? I can probably join. We're a long way from the days where we had guys waiting to get into the games because the spaces were full. I can't wait to get back to that.

[CJF28]

i still have fun. I need to pick up a LIVE prepaid card. i wont give them my CC# ever again.

[TastySweetNutz]

Count me in for GOW2. I'm a rook when it comes to the game online but I should be able to pick it up quickly, hopefully.

[avsfan21]

i still have fun. I need to pick up a LIVE prepaid card. i wont give them my CC# ever again.

Same here. I was glad when my card finally expired. I had to wait to get castle crashers because I didnt want to order points online to give them my new card.

Who wants to get the boomshot on subway? I will make sure you are missing a head.

[someguy6000]

i still have fun. I need to pick up a LIVE prepaid card. i wont give them my CC# ever again.
i never trusted putting my cc# on there either i've only done the prepaid card for points and LIVE. i thought of it this way if someone managed to steal my account they would have access to my CC granted they would only be able to buy points and LIVE but that's still not something i would wanna risk

[CJF28]

im on my work break right now, but when I get home, I have a great "Hi, this is Max" CC story to tell you guys

[pyrrhonist]

We started out with ranked games, but after they nixed the user list we went to regular games.

Correction, Scott---we started out with player matches! It was us "achievement *****s" who talked you guys into doing the ranked stuff. As you say, though, they killed that when Epic put out the update. :(

[Master Windu]

for any of those that have transfered data from one hd to a larger one, will the old hd work normally or is it spent and no use any longer.

yeah to bad i showed up after the update so when i started the group was already doing the player matches only. i would love to get the seriously achivement but i'm like 7,000 kills short. but i'm sure if you add all the times i killed billy it would clear the 10,000 mark easily

[SpankedEagle]

Just finished up Dead Space... one of the most epic bosses I've ever seen, too bad it wasn't as hard as it was epic.

how many hours?

[SpankedEagle]

how many hours?

On hard took me 10 hours and 40 minutes( played all night with hardly any pauses or stops, so the time could be longer). impossible is another story because I'm dying left and right. I could see how someone who doesn't play lots of survival horror might be panicky and blow away their ammo leaving them stranded.

[oaktown2000]

10 hours...damn...you must have just blew through the game. I'm at 7 gameplay hours and just reached the 7th chapter. But I stay and fight everything....no running away. I also read the text logs...and listen to all the audio logs as well. I also take my time and check out all the different surroundings. I like checking out all the dead bodies...and babies incubating....and other creppy things. So far....the only thing that really gave me any trouble was the "asteroid thing"....had to try it like 7 times to get passed it....the damn targeting was so sensitive I couldn't get it to stop exactly where I wanted it.

I watched read all that stuff too, while I was walking to the next objective lmao. And I killed everything, only exception were when I was low on ammo( few but did happened)
and

but yeah 7 hours 7 chapters sounds about right, thats about how long i took, its 12 chapters in all, so roughly, scrap 2 hours off.

[oaktown2000]

Yeah...I take my time with it. I sit in my gaming room....all the lights out....curtains closed....with my Turtle Beach Surround sound headsets on and anytime the music gets creepy or I hear a noise behind me....I slow down with my gun drawn waiting for "something" to happen....lol

According to UPS , I will be getting my 360 back next tuesday. What really worries me is the fact that my serial has not changed on the website. If they swap boards shouldnt they change the serial as well? I did a google search about this but nothing came up :( Did thet really fix my console?

I am about halfway through the 4th chapter. I was really disappointed with the game at firs, but it definately grew on me.

According to UPS , I will be getting my 360 back next tuesday. What really worries me is the fact that my serial has not changed on the website. If they swap boards shouldnt they change the serial as well? I did a google search about this but nothing came up :( Did thet really fix my console?

It means they're sending you the same console back.....you aren't getting a refurbished one.

Finally made it to TRU for the B2G1 sale. Picked up SOCOM w/headset, Saints Row 2 (360), and Metroid Prime 3 on Wii.

My local TRU sold out of SOCOM w/headset, so as I was on business yesterday, I was able to check out TRU in Lafayette & Lake Charles, LA, but finally hit pay dirt for all 3 in Beaumont as I finished up all my sales calls.

[someguy6000]

how long is the B2G1 sale?

[R. Giles]

Tomorrow I believe is the end

[Mack]

Got Best Buy to match the TRU deal. Got myself and my dad a copy of Dead Space (his birthday is Nov 7th; early gift!!!) and Saints Row 2. Haven't decided if I want to open Saints or just exchange it in a couple weeks for Fallout 3 :cool:

[oaktown2000]

Go with Fallout 3

i still have fun. I need to pick up a LIVE prepaid card. i wont give them my CC# ever again.
What happened? I use my CC for live but am going to stop it after this month and just go prepaid? Should I just cancel the card?

Was it that easy that you beat it before it was even out a week or just good enough to play all night long?


Went to tru for the B2G1 free They dont carry dead space because of the mature rating(but they carry GTA IV and other mature titles) made no sense. So I got my son wario shake it and lego batman for Xmas and got myself lego batman for kicks.

[CJF28]

so, my LIVE/CC# is pretty simple

not much going on this year for online games, so I let my LIVE expire. A friend got madden, so I decided to buy a month and play some madden. It was $7.99 for the month. well, when my month was up,they reupped it again, for 7.99. This happened 3 months before I realized what was going on.

no biggie, my fault. But then, I go thru the whole "Hi, Im Max" crap, and he forwards me thru the billing dept. I get a live person and go thru the whole story, and I want my CC off file and this stopped. He tells me "hang on, and Ill patch you thru to the billing dept." Next guy, tell the same stuff to him, blah blah blah and then HE tells me "hang on, Ill patch you thru to the billing dept". The last guy gets my full wrath, I tell him "Max" had put me thru to billing, and so did the other two guys, I wasnt going to be passed off again, I want a manager or supervisor, and I want them now. He puts me on hold. Well, by this time, Ive arrived at the doctors office to pick up a prescription. I give the phone to my wife, and tell here when he comes off hold, to just cancel the card.

I go in, pick up my prescription and come back out, and she is off the phone. She says that because she was not the name on the CC, they wouldnt cancel it. so nothing got accomplished.

Luckily, my CC expired at the end of sept. so the number was no longer valid, and they couldnt re-up me.

but no, I wont use my CC anymore, only prepaid points, and prepaid LIVE cards

Both TRUs here carry Dead Space. The one closest to my house sold out yesterday. I tried calling the other store near the place I worked at but they won't answer the damn phone so I just left early for work so I could stopped by at TRU. Luckily they have the game. Bought it along with Saint's Row 2 and Brother in Arms: Hell's Highway.

i went to best buy last nite. they would not honor TRU's deal

[supertim]

I'll try to be on for Gears, but I got SOCOM and finally got it to install properly early this morning. Hursty and myself need to finish co-op Act 3-5 on insane before GoW2

I think the guy was just being a ****** and didnt want to bring them out yet. He said they didn't come in this weeks shipment so they must not be carrying it. Prolly just figured he could sell them one by one when the B2G1F was over lol.

[TastySweetNutz]

I caught the TRU deal and snagged Dead Space, Saints Row 2 and SOCOM. Dead Space is the only one I'm keeping and I'll be trading in the other two for Fallout 3 and either World at War or Little Big Planet.

That not selling Dead Space because of the M rating is complete BS.

[gammerx]

What is the TRU deal?

[PrimeBane]

Anyone up for a little Gears or something right now... login to Live :)

What do you mean by not selling DS because it is M?

[TastySweetNutz]

Favrefan said that a TRU by him didn't carry Dead Space b/c of the M rating. It came from an employee but he was probably speculating or BSing.

anyone know of any good deals getting microsoft points.......scott?

[J3-M8]

I finally got an HDTV!!!! Now I'm just waiting on my 360 to come back from repair.

One question, does the HDMI cable really make a difference or are the component cable good enough?

as far as i know you can't get true HD(1080p) without a HDMI cable. i personally would like HDMI but my xbox doesn't have the the port and the mad catz adaptor doesn't work for me. for a good price on a HDMI cable check out www.monoprice.com (http://www.monoprice.com) and for tips from some helpful boardmembers check here http://board.spawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=350863

[CJF28]

no, your gonna want HDMI

but dont buy the expensive ones. Fred Meyers/Sams Club hasthem for $20 for a 3 foot. I even found some 6fts at Big Lots for $12

Sorry, haven't seen any good deals lately.

IMO it doesn't... but it does cut down on the number of cables as the sound and picture travel over it.

[someguy6000]

yeah the only thing i have found amazon has them for a couple of dollars off

[PrimeBane]

Best I've found lately was 20% a card... but I've got about 3500 in unspent points right now so I never bothered.

I'll post the next time I see the deal... shouldn't be too long before they have it again.

[CJF28]

did anyone see they are doing an AC/DC rockband game, like GH's Aerosmith?

i noticed that but i thought it was just an add on to Rock Band with achivements i had to chuckle today with AC/DC plastered all over wal-mart today

[Facehugger88]

Has anybody used Gamefly here? I'm thinking about signing up because of the massive flood of games we have coming in the next few weeks and I wanted to know if it was worth using. I've heard it takes a while for the games to arrive to houses, but I live in the same city as one of their distribution centers so that shouldn't be a problem, right?

[someguy6000]

i would guess the turnaround would be a 2-3 days at most.

[avsfan21]

I use gamefly. It isnt that bad. There are a few times where it takes a week or so, but most times it is 2-3 days. Although if you want to count in the 2-3 days for it to get returned as well.

[oaktown2000]

Anyone who owns Rock Band......do you have the option to only show certain track parts. For example....if all I want to play is the guitar part....can I make it so that is the only animation on the screen...and not all 4?
