My 360 doesn't play my AVI videos. How gay is that?

 

I think it's included in this.

Depends how its been encoded but the media update should solve it if it's divx or similar.

How do I change "game privacy settings"? I can't find it.

This was on Sentuamessage recently iirc... I think you hit the guide button, go all the way right to your profile options and look around there somewhere.

I bought one of them sexy red controllers yesterday but both my joysticks are squeaking! It is rather annoying.

 

Anyone else have a similar problem with any controller? Whats the best way to sort this problem out?

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From what I heard from a friend who works in Smyths is the Black 360 is been discontinued and is been replaced by a the limited editions ones such as the red one for RE5.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

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

Just tuck it underneath the carpet, it will take a little while to do right but then you wont have to worry about it again.

I always wondered if they forgot to add a "zone" we have Pro, Family Underground and the other one, but I think the should have added noob, how funny would that be?

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.

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.
