Cube Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 So the red ring of death thingy, Someone explain it to me. I'm a new owner of a 360 and have heard of people getting the RROD but why? Have they sorted out the problem with new machines? It's basically an error code: the lights on the front of the console flash red when the console dies. It's less common with newer machines, but still possible. Edit: The closest thing to LEGO Halo: Mega Blocks: Halo Wars
BeerMonkey Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 speaking of guitar hero there is occassions when i play a sustained note and when i finish the note i lose my streak (missed a note) i dont get what i do wrong.

Dante Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 OXM march reviews: RE5 9/10 ++ An action spectacular with terriffic production values ++ Excellent co-op game ++ Huge variety of environments - Item management and control issues ? Will Evil arise from the ashes of Raccoon City? Halo Wars 9/10 ++ Despite jumping genres, still feels like a Halo game ++ Easy and engaging to pick up and play - Minor AI and pathfinding annoyances ? Where are the Covenant and Flood campaigns? Fear 2 7.5/10 + Intense combat with well-executed slo-mo powers + Respectable mulitplayer - Nothing scary here more on ?

Shorty Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 So the red ring of death thingy, Someone explain it to me. I'm a new owner of a 360 and have heard of people getting the RROD but why? Have they sorted out the problem with new machines? I don't think they'll ever fix it. They're always bringing out newer and newer models but I don't think they'll ever truly erase it. Simply put, you get 3 red lights on your machine and chances are it will never work again. You have a 3 year warranty for if it happens. I think the newest model is Jasper so you can look on the back of your 360 to see if that's the model you've got, if it is it's the most reliable.
Dyson Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 What if you get your Xbox replaced? Is there a brand new 1 year warranty and 3 year RROD warranty with it?
Hero-of-Time Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I like this idea. Interesting one this. Rare told VG247 that soon gamers would be rewarded by more than achievements for their games, they'd also get avatar clothing options and accessories out of it. Art Head over at Rare, Lee Musgrave stated that "In time … games will be able to give away clothes and accessories just like Achievements." To what extent and who wants to play ball is unconfirmed at the moment, but soon you could have more than one excuse to do certain tasks in your titles. What are your thoughts on this? Our thoughts are that this is a double win situation. Ever wanted a t-shirt to show off your Left 4 Dead expert achievements? Or maybe you wanted a cap with the Seriously 2.0 logo on. The options are limitless in effect. We ask, how long until significant props are introduced. I mean, how awesome would it be wield a lancer for your avatar to don that makes your mates jealous every time they log on? The answer I do believe is "incredibly awesome."
BeerMonkey Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 wow that sounds awesome hope that comes into games VERY soon.
jayseven Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 It wouldn't surprise me if there were the odd free outfits tied to an achievement here or there, but then equally unsurprising are the conjoined ideas of either a) the exact same costume might be available for purchase anyway, or b) all the better costumes still require teh moolah. An amalgamation of the gamerscore with the trophy reward system and the trophy collection in Smash Bros Melee would be orgasmatastic.
Jimbob Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Sounds like a great idea. Would be a bit more rewarding that just a score really. Hope it comes into games soon, and hope some good developers/big developers pick up this idea.
LegoMan1031 Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Yeah it does sound like a pretty cool idea. Would be good to show off some of the really hard achievements to get that u have unlocked! :p
Zell Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 ARGH fucking guitar hero. Finally got World Tour, got really hyped to play it, start playing Beat It by MJ and I failed the song before i've pressed a button or even strummed. Looks like my strum bar is faulty because there are occasions where it'll just register that i'm pressing it when i'm not (i knew it looked a bit loose). What's annoying though is that i got the game from Morrison's which is almost 30 minutes away and i'm not actually gonna have a chance to go there again (we jsut happened to be passing through it the first time). Any ideas what i can do? I heard there were some issues with some of the World Tour instruments, do they arrange a pick up/exchange or something? I think it could be due to the touch pad, not the strum bar. See if you can disable it in the options, that should give you a temporary fix.

LegoMan1031 Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I got Game to swap my Xbox (with a little help from a friend). Cool! When my PS3 was faulty GAME let me just take it into them and they exchanged it for me! (Obviously with my receipt)
nightwolf Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Cool! When my PS3 was faulty GAME let me just take it into them and they exchanged it for me! (Obviously with my receipt) Which is why it's a slight pain when I got mine from woolies, I'll always have to send it back directly rather than a store. Oh well! I may actually play my xbox tonight, it's getting dusty!

Hero-of-Time Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Another game gets DLC very soon. Fans of the Xbox 360 quiz game Scene It? Box Office Smash are getting a fresh batch of movie trivia next week with the release of the Award Winners game add on pack. Celebrating the best that that the silver screen has to offer, the Award Winners game pack for Scene It? Box Office Smash offers up more than 300 new questions spanning nearly 2 dozen award winning films, from 1960's Spartacus to 2007's The Last King of Scotland. In addition to the fresh batch of normal questions, the Award Winners pack also comes with a brand-new bonus-round puzzle type called "Pop Quiz", featuring more than 600 new true or false questions to keep players from getting bored for another couple of weeks. The Award Winners game pack will be available on February 13th for the rather odd price of 560 Microsoft points.
ViPeR Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I've not played it since I got back to uni which was on the 10th Jan . No you can't I waited years for one of those damn boxes! Hmm I guess I can let you off. Whatever you do don't get Fallout 3. It will take over your life then kill your Xbox lol.
Caris Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I got Game to swap my Xbox (with a little help from a friend). Did you get a Jasper Chipset?
Babooo Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 anyone know where i can get a guide for FIFA 09? Need to know some in depth controls....
Chuck Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 anyone know where i can get a guide for FIFA 09? Need to know some in depth controls.... Like what? Its all on the start menu in a match.
Emerald Emblem Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Why can't you drill the ball in FIFA09? Who's idea was it to do that? Free kicks are practically impossible. Only troubled the goalkeeper once ever.
The-Ironflame Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I don't quite understand what you mean but you can push forward on the left analog stick while taking the free kick to take a more powerful free kick.
ViPeR Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Looks like the update a few days ago is causing RRODs. http://forums.xbox.com/25603474/ShowPost.aspx So Microsoft managed to fuck my Xbox over there was probably nothing wrong with it . I wonder if there'll be any compensation.
