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.
ShadowV7 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Damn, that was a bad update. I wondered if the update caused RROD since you mentioned you got one when you updated, so I haven't bothered updating yet incase in the sligth chance I get it I thought my 360 was on the way out, though sfter playing POP yesterday it was fine and didn't make crazy noises, just with the TLR actually, but that went once it was installed.
ViPeR Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Well it looks like it is the update. Over on the official Xbox forums a lot of people have had the same problem. Downloaded the update, Xbox gets bricked. I must remember to thank them for fixing the HDMI audio I don't use.
Babooo Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 that is soo messed up............an update that causes your console to malfunction? Ridiculous MS.
Gio001 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Sales must be slow, send out an update to kill a few 360's. Mine is ok since the update but i sympathise, these days with consoles online etc they can just about do anything to your console with an update & reliability is pathetic. My old ps1, N64, Megadrive, Cube have all been hammered & used & still work fine with no worries over wether it will still work next time i switch it on. Think the PS2 started it though the launch PS1's were faulty but sony soon rectified it.
ViPeR Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Yeh, I mean no websites are reporting it as news. Thing is this in turn is making it worse as people are unaware and have yet to apply the update.
Dyson Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Hold LB to drill the ball when taking a free kick in FIFA 09 Emerald.
nightwolf Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Is this update being removed or fixed? (You can tell I didn't read the link can't you?) I've yet to have it online or anything and downloading scares me with my xbox. So I don't want to turn it on and casue more worry!
ViPeR Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I think it's like a 1 in 10 chance of bricking your box. Someone apparently just hooked up a brand new box after trading in the bricked one and the update has dissapeared. Didn't mean to worry everyone just sharing the news lol. You have to have the update to use your box but you can choose not to install it. In other words you might as well risk it considering you can't use it without the update anyway :p
BeerMonkey Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Another game gets DLC very soon. coolaid :awesome: being playing those scene it games alot in the past week so good timin for a dlc

Aimless Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 It should be noted that firmware updates euthanise 360s rather than murder them: those machines were always going to show red, it was just a matter of time. May as well get it over and done with before the next wave of releases, right?
Guest Jordan Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 It's nothing like 1 in 10, it's like 1 in 1000. I'd say its probably even less than that. RROD isn't caused by firmware updates. Ever. Its only a matter of time until your box dies and its usually a coincidence. My 1 1/2 year old Elite is still going just fine and I found that the new dash update really helped speed as well as sort out my HDMI problem. Letty's Jasper 360 annoyingly runs far cooler than my Elite. Its also a shit tonne quieter. Then again, if my 360 is going to die at any point it better not be in the next 2 months ¬_¬...
Gio001 Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Mine will die March 12th, it will get Kijuju'd
Shorty Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 I don't think the update killed any xboxes. It's just that after the update, a large number of people who got an RROD rushed to the internet to see if the update caused it. Then they added their voice to a growing number of people saying "I just updated and now I have RROD!" Those same hundreds of people would've probably had an RROD right then anyway, they just would've had nothing to attribute it to so they never would've said anything.
Cube Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 What a load of bullshit. I can't play any of my XBLA games while offline. I can't even use my Castle Crashers theme while offline. I thought that this only applied if you had to recover your gamertag, not if you used your HDD with a different console.
Dyson Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Bugger. I fear I may have the same problem when I get my hands on my Xbox again. Is there a fix for thism problem?
Colin Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 What a load of bullshit. I can't play any of my XBLA games while offline. I can't even use my Castle Crashers theme while offline. I thought that this only applied if you had to recover your gamertag, not if you used your HDD with a different console. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/systemuse/xbox360/licensemigration/ Was this a system that was sent off to MS, as they should have done the transfer there and then. If it's a system swapped in-store then yeah, you'd need to transfer the licenses even if you have a new or old HD. Licenses are tied to the gamer tag I believe, and those licenses in that gamer tag can only be tied to one system at a time. You can only do this transfer once a year as well, so make sure you're going to be using that console for the foreseeable future.
