Shorty Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 to be fair, gamestation said the same to me when i got my console. I had my 360 upright and it ruined my viva pinata disk (which they swapped for me). Ever since then I've laid it flat and it's never happened since - So it would seem they're right....
BeerMonkey Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 anyone know if a american copy of GH:metallica will work on a PAL 360 (wishful thinking?) if so i can grab in america then
S.C.G Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I heard that Videogames Plus have confirmed it to be region free or something, so it should work.
Shorty Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Play Asia are usually very accurate on stating what is region free, and according to their site it would be fine.
Pantsu Man! Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I was wondering, regarding what I asked quite a while ago with the Live renewal, if my card got canceled and I got a new card but the old card's details are still linked on my Live account will they just cancel the renewal thing? It's probably a silly question but it'd save me ringing up. I won't get charged by my bank or anything would I?

It's probably a silly question but it'd save me ringing up. I won't get charged by my bank or anything would I? If the details are now incorrect, they can't charge you, but you are going to need to add your new card anyway to purchase points aren't you? unless you buy points cards of course which I often do, same with subs, I'm sure there is a setting somewhere you can change so that it doesn't auto renew though...

I don't think you will get charged on the old cancelled card, make sure that the card details are no longer registered to the account just to make sure that no monies go out. Had a multiplayer session with my mate on NBA 2k9 over the weekend, handed him is rear end on a plate. Final score was 98-43.
Cube Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) Done a few levels of Lost Planet. I don't think I'll bother playing any more. Mainly due to the clunkiest controls I've ever used in a game....well...I thought it was clunky then I jumped into one of those walking tank things...which was even clunkier. I was relieved when I had one that turned into a bike...but it turns out that the bike controls are somehow even clunkier than the walking mode. Edited March 31, 2009 by Cube
Dyson Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Been playing Fallout 3 all day, absolutely love it!

Cube Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) turn up the sensetivity to max. Turning/Aiming is OK, it's everything else that's clunky. Edit: The controls don't seem to be as clunky in the online mode. Edited April 1, 2009 by Cube
Pantsu Man! Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 How 'big' is Mass Effect? As in how many hours would it take to finish if I were to casually play through trying to do all the quests and what I think are side missions? I've just started it and just picked up the second girl on the pilgrimage thing and was just wondering how long it's gonna take.
Dan_Dare Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 It's...fairly long. By western standards anyway. It's no JRPG-multi-disc-jesus-christ-get-to-the-fucking-point-you-faux-literaté-cockends 70 hour snorefest, but there's meat on the bones. I'd guess at 15-20, depending on your thirst for sidequests and exploration.
Shorty Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Also it depends if you just head straight for the next highlighted planet, there's only about 5 big main missions so it'll be over in no time if you don't digress at all, or if you play on too easy a setting.
Ganepark32 Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Think my first run through on Mass Effect took about 30+ hours but then I went and explored most of, if not all, of the little smaller worlds you can go to and did quite a lot of the side quests. Subsequent ones took about 20 or so hours without all that messing about.
Pantsu Man! Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Cheers guys. Good to know. Also it seems Microsoft has taken money out of a non existent credit card... I don't understand how my renewal for Live has still gone through. I better not get charged more because of this.

Dyson Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Sooo, I'm looking for some cheap MSP before the end of the week to buy Alien Hominid and later on the Mythic map pack. Anyone got any good deals out there for me or know the cheapest place to buy them?
Shorty Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 WHSmith have them online for £14.95 for 2100. Can't remember if the delivery is only free to store though.
jayseven Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Free delivery to home address too I bought two of 'em last night. Probably going to get The Dishwasher and Peggle, and maybe n+ if it's cheap... and not sure what else!
Dyson Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 I want Alien Hominid whilst it's cheap, badly. It's only DotW though so I dunno when the 400 price point ecpires. Anyone got an idea? Also gonna grab some RB songs and the mythic map pack for Halo 3 when it's released next week
Dan_Dare Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 IMO Alien Hominoid kinda sucks. It's pretty, and kinda fun but it's so ridiculously hard I simply can't see myself ever getting past the first level or two- and I consider myself pretty good at games too.
Dyson Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 But at the same time I loved Mega Man 9 and have got some good playtime out of it despite being ridiculously hard Havn't even completed it.
