Cube Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 I was just wondering, regarding this Live renewal thing I asked a while ago, if I put in a pre-paid card's code will it cancel out the 3 month renewal thingimabob? I think it'll start up again after the 13 months is over.
Jav_NE Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 I have both games' DLC but no sort of capture device, I'm afraid. Presumably this is for some kind of publication so can't you play the press angle and nab both for free? Yeah, but deadline is today and anyone who has worked with PR's will know they dont work that fast. We didn't initially bother with the DLC so we dont have it, or the 360 version of Tomb Raider, so its a bit of a bitch. They are sorting it out for us but it will be too late. Do you not have a digital camera? If you can take the best shot you can it might help. Keep it steady, no flash etc.
Aimless Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Do you not have a digital camera? If you can take the best shot you can it might help. Keep it steady, no flash etc. Well, I've given it a try with the PoP costumes: standard view of both, close-up of the Prince, close-up of Elika. I also chanced across this screengrab which should be a lot more usable on the fidelity front — I think it's from the PC version. If those are okay then I can do the same for Beneath the Ashes.

Sweet, those arn't too bad actually. If you can do the same for Tomb Raider i'd really appreciate it. Try and get lovely gratuitous shots of her. Boobs, ass, whole body etc. It needs to be done! haha. Also, what are the names of the PoP costumes? Do you get them just for having the DLC or do you have to unlock them? Same for TRU, is it just available to select from the start? Thanks man, i appreciate your help

Thanks man, i appreciate your help The PoP costumes are Prototype Prince and Prototype Elika, and I believe you have to finish the Epilogue to unlock them but I'm not 100% on that as I didn't check until afterwards. Incidentally you could unlock said skins on the PC version by getting all 1001 Light Seeds. Underworld is proving rather more problematic; something seems to go wrong every time I take a photo. Can't say I'm too into your paparazzi-esque requests, either, but I'll try my best.

It's looking pretty unlikely that we'll be able to fit it in now anyway I was trying to squeeze it in last minute but our editor and designer dont sound too convinced about adding to their stress today having to send the mag off, so they'll probably just ignore it and put it in next issue. Shame though.
Aimless Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 It's probably for the best as Lara's being a... well, a bitch. It doesn't help that the 360 version runs at at the 'sub-HD' resolution of 1024x576 so can be a bit blurry at the best of times — strangely Underworld on the PS3 runs at 1280x720, or 720p. But that's all a bit tangential as I get the impression that if your readers are going to be interested in any number it will be the one prefacing the measurement 'DD'. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Jav_NE Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Absolutely :p Thanks for trying though, i appreciate it.
Jamba Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Hey I just had a look at Stormrise, think it's out later this month. RTS game but all done from the ground. I'll be interested to see if this works out... http://www.gametrailers.com/player/43230.html
Daniel Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 At xmas i sold my 360 20gb to my mum for £50 to give to my little brother and she bought me a new 60gb version for xmas. Now she rings asking what these three blinking red lights are :P Just organised it to be picked up etc and the guy says i can have free live didnt mention if it was 3 months or a year but its not bad to say its my little brother who gets no xbox and i get the live
Shorty Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Usually when a broken xbox is collected, it's 30 days of live - and it's a code on a card so you could give it to your brother
Daniel Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Hes six though, why would a six year old want LIVE?
Shorty Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Hes six though, why would a six year old want LIVE? Have you ever played Halo 3? I'm pretty sure that's the average age of LIVE users.
Daniel Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 lol, i cant imagine him playing halo 3 and running around screaming headshot :P
Jimbob Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 lol, i cant imagine him playing halo 3 and running around screaming headshot :P Try 3 8-10 year olds shouting n00b down the head-set at you because they got lucky and killed your character.
nightwolf Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 ..and people wonder why I dislike Halo. Are you always garanteed 30 days of LIVE if your xbox breaks or is it them just being nicey nice?
Guest Jordan Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Its usually if they're being nice. I only ever play online these days either 1, without voice or 2, with friends. Most people on Live are 13 year old cock boys... ¬_¬ In other news. PEGGLE, PEGGLE, ZOMG!
Cube Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Some New DLC Today: - The Maw: Deleted Scene - River Redirect. 100MS Points - Sonic Unleashed: Chun-nan Adventure Pack. 250MS Points - Burnout Paradise: Boost Specials (Extreme Hot Rod and Hawker Mech). 640MS Points (400MS Points individually). The Boost Specials are way overpriced. I'm glad I got them when they leaked alongside the other cars (it was 400MS Points for the pack then).
jayseven Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 I'm sure it's been said, but how are game deliveries done - royal mail or Parcel Force? Xbox has been 'dispached' since yesterday, if it's royal mail then I'm waiting 'til tomorrow.
James Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Quick question if someone could answer please I recieved a new xbox from Microsoft after my old one broke, I put the HDD in and on COD4 my brother downloaded the map pack when it was first released. When i sign in to play online I get told i need to download the map pack, I sign in a my bro and the map pack is on there and desont get asked to download it. and then when I sign him out and me back in it recognises the map pack is there. its just slightly annoying, anyone ideas what the problem is

You also can't use any downloaded stuff while offline http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/systemuse/xbox360/licensemigration/default.htm That transfers all licenses to the new system. You can only do it once a year and you need to download everything again (if it's already on your HDD then it'll only take a second).

Xbox has been 'dispached' since yesterday, if it's royal mail then I'm waiting 'til tomorrow. If you login to game.co.uk order history it should tell you how it was sent. If it was Royal Mail Special Delivery or Parcel Force Special Delivery you will be able to track delivery progress. However I think if you pick free shipping it will not be special delivery, it will be regular post.
Jimbob Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 I had the same thing.

You can only do it once a year and you need to download everything again (if it's already on your HDD then it'll only take a second). I used a data transfer kit which transfers everything over to a new HDD, which i did when i got my Elite when the Premium 360 blew-up. Everything works minus Sonic 1 and Streets of Rage 2 where i have to unlock the full game everytime i play.

Xbox has been 'dispached' since yesterday, if it's royal mail then I'm waiting 'til tomorrow. You're waiting for your Red 360 right? If you paid for special delivery then it will be sent through Parcel Force, but if not it's Royal Mail (I did this option) and we'll be getting them tomorrow.
