I know there is a Pinned topic,for 360, but I think its better here, but if a mod thinks it's better in there by all means move it in.

 

From what I heard from a friend who works in Smyths is the Black 360 is been discontinued and is been replaced by a the limited editions ones such as the red one for RE5. More detail in Link

Mr.A

 

Suppose it makes sense in a way, only thing i could see different with the elite was it was black, had a 120gb HDD and was first with HDMI ports.

 

Downloaded Lost and Damned last night and been on it much of the day, got to say it is a great addition to GTA IV. Could of based the original GTA IV game on this biker gang if they wanted to, and used Niko for the DLC.

@Mike1988uk - exactly the same thing happened to me last October when I got my Green 360 Controller (the one with the slightly improved d-pad). It drove me insane but after about a month (!) both sticks stopped squeaking and now it doesn't make any noise whatsoever. No idea why it happens (thought I was the only one) but persevere and it should go away... hopefully.

You sure? Mine was right at the bottom of the box :/

 

xbox system link is made of fail. Tried gears of war and rainbox 6 vegas and just have problems with connection, apparantly. Shorty's on wireless and I'm wired to the router. We kinda both just bought live 13 month subscriptions... I've been told to not tell Nami :P So you best not either!

Can't you just hook them up directly using an Ethernet cable whilst having a system link session? You should always try to avoid wireless if you can help it.

The problem is that whilst one xbox is right by the router, the other is in another room, I would say it would take at least 15m of ethernet cable to reach that far :/ Plus I would have to roll it through the hallways every time I wanted to go on live.

 

I should never have bothered moving my xbox v_v the wireless connection through bridging to my netbook dropped about 10 times while playing SFIV

Bingo bango. Had a brief sesh on RE5 system link earlier. Bit annoying as I didn't have my save file BUT I just went and spent £35 (wtf) for a memory card. Will get my saves back at some point and live-it-up come weds :D

 

Have you robbed a bank recently? A smoking alchoholic shouldnt be able to afford all this :P

I've only been drunk like once in the last 6(?) nights, and my smoking has at least halved because of it, so theoretically the money I've saved has gone straight to... other rubbish! :D

Until you have to install the games on the HDD, then the problem may strike back when doing this. And possibly when running the disk to get the game going.

lol jilted by that "hasbro family game" thing...downloaded it as was free...went to the "game list" to discover theres 1400 points to get on it. Thinking wait 1400 on a free game that cant be right then finally discovered theres no games on it but have to buy battleships etc. grr o well

 

theres 6 games on it and each will cost 800 points..so thats 3800 points for all 6!! and can get this on the wii for like £15 or less

 

uno rush in next few weeks :D:D

you can surely just play flash versions of them all for free.

 

Aye. And in the case of Yhatzee I can't even see why the official real version exists - it's just 5 dice and a piece of paper.

 

Also, it's only 1200 gamerscore. 200 are for Scrabble (the only one that looked slightly worth it - if it had a load of extra modes), which is only available in the US.

 

I really think they've shot themselves in the foot. I don't even think the main audience of the game would even be aware of the XBLA.
