Oli1983uk Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Well Mircosoft has sent my xbox out after its repair! hopefully back with me by friday.
BeerMonkey Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 step aside enchanted arms...RACE PRO is now the wrost game ive played on the 360. No music if you make a tiny mistake and go a little bit on the grass you spin nearly every time..then after spinning are still in the grass/gravel you have to be VERY cautious not to spin again. i did 5 "contracts" (contracts are made up of 3 races) and all 5 contracts were the same 3 courses the 2nd contract was driving a "caterham" and the 4th had you driving the caterham again the 3rd contract had you driving a lemans style car and so was the 5th. the cpu cars started to slow from the grid if you are side by side with a car on a straight/corner the cpu will most likely make you spin. the menu was bland the graphics were subpar so yea i didnt like it and have sent straight back to lovefilm
Cube Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 step aside enchanted arms...RACE PRO is now the wrost game ive played on the 360. No music Play some through the 360. Forza 2 had no music in-game either. Actually, what you said about the CPU (making you spin) sounds just like Forza 2, too. Plus the graphics are clearly very early 360 ones (mainly due to the jaggies which are almost as big as the car itself). Anyway...I take it that you haven't played Far Cry 2, Condemned 2 or Prince of Persia.
BeerMonkey Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 prince of persia i thought was very good. condemned 2 was ok but didnt give much of a chance as i couldnt get into it (really liked condemned 1 thou) Farcry2 i havent played yet
S.C.G Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Hmm not so long ago didn't someone post about credit card trouble on Xbox Live? I ask because I needed to purchase some points direct from Microsoft as I didn't have enough for Banjo Tooie. But seeing as I hadn't purchased points of memberships from them digitally for a while - I tend to use redeem codes - my card had obviously expired, so I figured the simplest way to do this would be to change it via the website seeing as it's all interlinked with the Xbox 'n all, supposedly. So I did that, it let me purchase 1000 points, so I got Banjo Tooie and assumed all to be fine but when I got home from work I found a message from M$ saying that they couldn't process my order for 1000 points (wtf?) yet they had let me purchase them... I figured *sigh* ok then... and added my new card on the Xbox as well, except it would not let me, but then I just changed the existing one and it accepted that but then would not let me purchase any points. >>' Stupid M$... I'm guessing that they must still be stopping my card and that I've now got to waste time phoning them up to get it sorted? :/ *Edit* I just purchased another lot of 1000 M$ points so I guess it must be fine now, still it's a bit silly for M$ to say 'oh you can do everything on the website 'cos it's all linked' when it doesn't always seem to work, anyway nm, back to playing Banjo Tooie! : peace:
Shorty Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 M$ won't let me buy anything with my debit card, or either of my parents' credit cards, through my xbox or the xbox website. No idea why :/
S.C.G Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 M$ won't let me buy anything with my debit card, or either of my parents' credit cards, through my xbox or the xbox website. No idea why :/ I have no idea what kind of system they are running but it seems that you need to add the details of your valid credit card to both the site and the console because despite being able to do most stuff on the site same as on the console this seems to be omitted for some reason.
Kirkatronics Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 M$ won't let me buy anything with my debit card, or either of my parents' credit cards, through my xbox or the xbox website. No idea why :/ It wont let me use my Maestro card =[ I want 500 points.

Shorty Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 It wont let me use my Maestro card =[I want 500 points. Checked the top post of the previous page?
S.C.G Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Forza 3 leak and Perfect Dark XBLA image. http://www.destructoid.com/someone-tapes-something-they-shouldn-t-have-forza-3-confirmed-130439.phtml Awesome, can't really say that I give a damn about Forza 3 but I would love to have the original Perfect Dark on XBLA which begs the question... why now? well it probably means that they are planning to make a proper sequel to Perfect Dark - hopefully a lot better than the 'lacking' prequel - it seems to make sense, to me anyway.

A second confirmation of the game. Although what's "Bean" and why does it have what looks like Jo Dark from PDZ for it's image?
Pantsu Man! Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 For the first time ever I've finished Banjo Kazooie. I thought that when you went and got the joker answer right, you got two cards meaning one answer will take up two cards. I was wrong. Yus. Last 3 squares skipped em all. Took me a while but it was worth it. Now to get the last achievement and onto Tooie for the first time, even though I had an N64 and Banjo Kazooie. This credit sequence is annoying though.
killer kirby Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 http://ninja-pizza.blogspot.com/2009/05/new-turtles-in-time-game.html HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLL YEAH!!!!!!!!! :bouncy::bouncy::bouncy::bouncy::bouncy::bouncy: Just for nostalgia
LegoMan1031 Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Just tried to watch the youtube video from the link for the Perfect dark image but it has been removed... Oh well. I did LOVE perfect dark but im not sure i would want to buy it again on XBLA... Part of me cant help but think it may not have aged well.
Oli1983uk Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 (edited) I got my elite back from mircosoft today pretty impressed with the 9 days it took from leaving my home to returning to me. they replaced the motherboard and dvd drive, Edited May 1, 2009 by Oli1983uk

Babooo Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Im not 100% sure but i think it stays silver but you can play online and stuff. yep jus tried it and it works! Played street fighter 4 online for the first time and didn't fair too badly actually! Got my arse kicked in the first 5 or 6 matches but notched up a fair amount of wins later on..got 3 victories in a row! I feel so happy. Will be playing this alot during the wkend....
Pantsu Man! Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Woo I actually completely finished Banjo Kazooie. All achievements score! 1200 points for Tooie is a bit much though... ah well.
Babooo Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 hey peeps, just bought far cry 2 from ebay....just wanna know your opinions on it?
S.C.G Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 hey peeps, just bought far cry 2 from ebay....just wanna know your opinions on it? I had a sealed copy of it hanging around for months, which I never got around to playing... and subsequently traded in >> but I can say that it was probably one of the best games that I almost played.
Caris Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 hey peeps, just bought far cry 2 from ebay....just wanna know your opinions on it? Thought it was rubbish myself!
