Thank god this thing got patched.

I kept constantly getting missed audio/skipping audio on some games. Really annoying.

 

Ah well, at least its fixed now.

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?

They claim to have sorted the problem with the newer machines. However, they're all prone to it, just that the newer machines are less prone to getting the RRoD. Don't know the exact cause of it (something to do with a heat sink and microsoft being cheapskates and making a chip themselves) but it doesn't look like they'll ever fix it completely.

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

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.

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."

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.

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.

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. :cry:

 

Oh well! I may actually play my xbox tonight, it's getting dusty!
