Dante Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 FF XIII delayed till 2010???!! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUU!!! Delayed? It never had a date in the first place and no one goes into the FF13 topic.
nightwolf Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Hmm problem. Tried setting up xbox live last night, ideally it should be relatively easy. But apprently my ''mtu'' levels aren't high enough? 1. What the heck is that? 2. Can it be sorted?
Aimless Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Hmm problem. Tried setting up xbox live last night, ideally it should be relatively easy. But apprently my ''mtu'' levels aren't high enough? 1. What the heck is that? 2. Can it be sorted? It stands for Maximum Transmission Unit and, as the name implies, is the largest size (in bytes) that a data packet can be on that network. To get the most out of your bandwidth you want an MTU that's high but isn't too large for your connection to process smoothly; better to take bites than nibbles, but you don't want to choke. It can be sorted! How? Well, I started getting out of my depth with the food analogy. A quick Google says that the minimum MTU required by Live is 1364, but I'm not sure if you're actually able to change things at your end; I've no idea if you've access to your router, and it's possibly something that has to be handled by the university's ISP. That said I'm sure the campus staff can do something about it if you ask them, and I find it very unlikely that you're the only student that's ever wanted to get onto Live. So, my suggestion: complain.
jayseven Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 University squats might have their own bitchin' systems that quash online gaming; they don't like the potential bandwidth hogging sadface!
Dyson Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Mine were alright with it, just had to give them my mac address so they could let it through. Even better in Portsmouth uni; just plug in and play.
GothicPlague Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Gotta pay £20 to ask4 broadband to play Live in my halls.
McPhee Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 My old halls let you unblock 10 ports or 5 ranges of ports (or any mix of the two) and that was your lot. Made PC gaming possible for most games if you planned a day or two ahead (the rounter rebooted at midday each day so you had to edit your port selections before then) but Live just didn't work. Daft thing was it was all done to stop people from torrenting. In the end all that happened was the guys in the Student Village used to bittorent 24/7 and then share it with the rest of the uni over the LAN (the SV was on the Uni network but each house also had a phone line and cable, pretty much everyone had private net connections).
Hero-of-Time Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Here's the GTA DLC details Rockstar Games announced today that The Lost and Damned, its Xbox 360 exclusive storyline expansion, will include five new achievements totalling 250G. The content is rumoured to sell for 1600MSP (or the equivalent of US$19.99) when it is added to LIVE on February 17th. The full list of new achievements is: Get Good Wood - 50G - In bike races, whack off 69 bikers with a bat. Easy Rider - 100G - Finish the story. Full Chat - 70G - Your backup are riding at their best! The Lost Boy - 25G - All hail the leader of The Lost! One Percenter - 5G - Billy is back on his bike. Also the new update and achievements for Gears 2 are now available.
Goron_3 Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 1600 points? hmmmm quite a bit :S Argh this is annoying me so much. I'm finding it bloody impossible to find a shop stocking Rock band 2 (with a guitar) for the 360. Don't think i've found one shop with it, which is frustrating because I want it over world tour because i know the RB instruments work on WT. Hmmm I assume world tour instruments work on RB though right? Looks like I might just have to buy that then...
Guest Jordan Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Rock Band 2 instruments still aren't out yet afaik. Pick up a Rock Band guitar on its own and the game separately. The only differences between the RB1 and RB2 guitars is the self calibration stuff on the guitar.
Ramar Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Just got Beautiful Katamari in the post (was £10 on Play)... All I can say after 15 minutes is wow. It's quirky, odd, yet fun. Hopefully it's not time consuming so I can get through it.
Gizmo Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Mmm. 1600 points is a little steep. Will have to see reviews to ensure it's big enough to justify the cost.

The only differences between the RB1 and RB2 guitars is the self calibration stuff on the guitar. Oh right! Well went into Gamestation and they said they'd only recieved 3 copies of RB2 when it came out and haven't recieved stock since I'll order it off amazon though and then search around for the game. Cheers for that Jordan, the whole RB/GH thing is so confusing, argh.
McPhee Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Get World Tour, the guitar is a lot better! I prefer the game as well, but that's a matter of taste really. You can get RB2 later when the instruments launch (hopefully there'll be some sort of Mic, Drums + Game pack like there is in the US).

You can get RB2 later when the instruments launch (hopefully there'll be some sort of Mic, Drums + Game pack like there is in the US). yeah I'm going to buy GH:WT with a guitar and then a seperate copy of Rock Band 2 with nothing. Then when Guitar Hero metallica comes out i'll get that with a guitar! Sorted. Hmmm came across the Alan Wake trailer earlier..damn i realy hope we hear more about it soon. That and Splinter Cell were two of the reasons I really wanted to get a 360 in the first place.
McPhee Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 They'd better turn out to be good, i've been waiting on them both for near 2 years! Anyone else think 2009 could turn out to be better than 2008? The high quality games sure are mounting up! http://hotukdeals.com/search.php?action=search&keywords=guitar+hero&category=&type=1 Can't believe how cheap these Guitars are becoming. I want drum kit deals dagnabbit!
BeerMonkey Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 when i got RB2 i looked EVERYWHERE in newport and no joy...so tryed cwmbran town center and there lo and behold was a copy of it in game. as on last page...gamestation in cwmbran has only had 2 copies since launch
Eddage Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Currently flying through Sega Superstars tennis. If anyone wants a weirdly controlled, easy points game... Here's one to get. Hit 65% last night. I got it through LoveFilm yesterday, just completed the superstar mode, can't be bothered trying to get the rest of the achievements though, 500 odd will do nicely! Was a pretty fun game, but nothing special, certainly glad I didn't buy it! Got it on PS3 and found it one of the most frustrating games I've ever played. It just seems random. Controls, CPU performance, score. Random. I never found this, sure some of the matches were harder but the only match I actually lost was the final of the tournament in the Alex Kidd stage, and then I just retried it and did it straight away.
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 ...Its moments like these just prompt me to say ENGLAND!! (or to a lesser extent ... 'Britain')
Dyson Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Oh right, it's my Xbox 360, sorry Just realised it doesn't say that anywhere.
Ganepark32 Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Yeh, it's being shipped back to you. Although, why in the hell is it in Nurnberg? They're supposed to get shipped to Frankfurt and that's where Microsoft fixes them. Haven't heard anything about any Nurnberg factories. Strange one that.
