Xbox 360 Console Discussion

[Daft]

In co-op mode u can race against each other which is fun! I hope they add more multiplayer modes because that would really be awesome!

[theguyfromspark]

If anyone wants to try the co-op crackdown over the weekend, give me a shout. Maybe it'll change my mind about it.

[CoolFunkMan]

Hmmm, something very scary just happened...

 

I put Dead Rising into my 360 disk tray, closed it and it made a scary scratching like sound. Then a 360 swirl pattern intro appeared (that I've never seen before) then a message appeared saying "to play this game please put it in a 360 console."

I ejected the disc put it bk in and it works. Though when it first loaded, it made the horrible scratching sound. There's no scratches on the disc though. Wierd.

 

Anyone know why the hell it did that? My 360 is standing upright, and that's never happened before...

[Bren]

happens occasionaly, its just the disc, giv it a wipe or summin. Its the msg u get if you put it in a dvd player or something.

[Sanchez]

Crackdown is loads of fun, I was pleasantly surprised. I haven't tried co-op yet, maybe a friend will come round tomorrow.

 

In any case, pre order placed.

Im pretty sure you can play coop on the same tv/console!

 

 

Is the Xbox Live Video Marketplace available in the uk, cos I want to download Requiem for a Dream! If its not available does anyone know when it will be?

[Solo]

You can get it on dvd pretty darn cheap.

Completed Dead Rising, and managed to get ending A, as well as experienciencing the others before doing so.

A Solve all cases; talk to Isabella after 10; be on heliport by 12

B Don't solve all cases; be on heliport by 12

C Solve all cases; do NOT talk to Isabella after 10

D Be held by the special forces at 12:00pm, instead of at the heliport

E Don't solve all cases; don't be at heliport

F Do not collect all bombs

 

 

 

Crazy way to finish the game, the whole overtime thing is a bit ..um.irritating. Is it really worth doing it?

 

Other than the way it ends frustrating me, I think it's a great game. My revised top 3 360 games:

1. Gears of War

2. Kameo

3. Dead Rising

Blitz the League demo on the marketplace now.

It is shit.

[Charlie]

The Crackdown demo seemed pretty good, but everything was far too small on my 14" TV, I couldn't read the writing properly and it was hard to see things on the screen...

It sometimes happens to me with PGR3. Basically, your disc has a minor flaw in it somewhere, which makes the 360 read it as a DVD. However, when the disc is read as a DVD, the above happens. It just eject the disc and close it again, and it should work.

[CoolFunkMan]

Ty on the disc error thing, that was seriously worrying me, lol.

If you want the full story, then yes. Plus there's an achievement or two you can get from completing overtime mode.

 

I've just completed my second run through the game, and got a different ending. Methinks I'll go for the 'Zombie Killer' and 'Zombie Genocider' achievements on my next run through.

 

I also got Quake 4 yesterday. It's alright, but kinda short and repetitive. Not too bad though. I'll try playing it online once I've got the single player campaign out of the way.

Quake 4 is seriously fucked up online, the Doom 3 engine just can't handle online on consoles for some reason. It's not bad, but if you try playing with more than 6 players you're going to get some serious lag.

[21st century cowboy]

Could someone please tell me how long the warrenty of the 360 is if it gets the ring of death?

 

I need to know as soon as please.

[Chuck]

1 year, extra for £80. Dunno about release consoles

So it costs £80 to repair it if you've had it for over a year?

[ZeldaFreak]

How many of you reckon we'll actually get the movie&TV download service.

And that IPTV thing on the 360.

 

Cos I have a feeling we won't

[Bren]

Mine was covered for over a year (had a launch 360), but ones after launch are covered for 1 year, and when you first buy it you have a month to pay £80 for an extra year. I dont know how much they charge to fix them if you have no warranty.

[Sanchez]

We might not get the movie or tv thing, but we're definitely getting the IPTV.

[That Guy]

Yeah, don't get Amped 3. There's a reason it's £13.
