I would assume it will just be a 'computer says no' moment, where it will ask you to sign into xbox live with the gamertag. As I was only ever signed in I never really encountered what would happen. ------------- In other news just watched an unboxing vid for the star wars 360, it's released on the 3rd April. Love the sound effects! Edited February 8, 2012 by Mike1988uk

It dont work if your offline without transferring. Registers to your console and gamer tag, neeeeda transfer the console license to play offline on a new one
Hero-of-Time Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 The Bard said: Played the demos for both The Darkness 2 and Syndicate (co-op) today, and by god those are two games I will purchase. The Darkness was a given since I really loved the first game, and even though it's Digital Extremes working on it rather than Starbreeze, it is going to be pretty fantastic, and it plays pretty well even though I'm interested in it from more of a story perspective. I started and finished The Darkness II yesterday and I have to say that it's not a patch on the original game. Now I loved the first one and was pretty excited for the sequel, but the game is just far too short and easy. I think total campaign time was around the 5 hour mark. You do get another little campaign to do in the form of Vedetta, but even that is only about a couple of hours long. The story isn't as interesting as the first game, although the end was pretty cool. The Darkness powers aren't as good either. I miss being able to send out my little darkness snake/worm and rip peoples throats out.
Dan_Dare Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 update: That video works. I tried it out last night and can now get full US Netflix. HASHTAG LOL
Shorty Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Until they update the app, no doubt. Still pretty sweet
Happenstance Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Probably get rid of my 360 this week I think, its just sitting around never getting used. Anyone got any idea how much Game or Gamestation offer these days for trade in for a 250gb 360?

Shorty Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Does anyone else feel like it's been such a slow, unexciting year for gaming so far? In November, things went crazy, and Skyrim and Dungeon Defenders have tided me over quite nicely since their release. March is looking fantastic. But it feels like a real drought in between. I'm really looking forward to SSX and Mass Effect 3, as well as the new Naruto game, but it feels like they're taking forever to arrive.
Dan_Dare Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Can't really argue there, though honestly it hasn't impacted me at all. Skyrim, Dark Souls and Rayman have more than tided me over in the last few months and there's a tonne of games like Batman I never even picked up.
Jimbob Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 It does seem most companies have pushed out their final 360 titles, even though a new Xbox wouldn't be out until 2013.
Ellmeister Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Looking for perhaps a fellow forumer to lend me a transfer cable for Xbox: http://www.n-europeforums.com/showthread.php?p=1427267#post1427267 Would be most grateful Bought a new xbox and they didn't even provide a HDMI cable the cheeky gits, so I'm also waiting for one of those bad boys to arrive.

How long was the first one then if the 2nd is only 5 hours?

jayseven Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 I've got a local rental shop that offers weekly rentals for 4 AUD (like, ?3ish) on select (read: old) titles; Played Mafia II through rather solidly, only needing the collectables achievements but figured it wasn't worth another $4 just to get those. Played TMNT and got all 1000G in like 4 hours - ridic. Currently been playing Godfather: The Game for 30 hours/1 week and a day - for an xbox/2006 game it is quite meaty, albeit rather repetitive and, in many ways, massively dated. Did anyone else catch this title, or have any memories? There rental shop doesn't have a very large catalogue of weekly rentals on offer, but I think there were two or three maayyybe titles left to try, including duke nukem - then I think I'll have to go halves with my cousin on Skyrim.
James Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Anyone noticed since the dashboard updates it seems to sign in twice and takes for aaaaaaages.
MindFreak Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Rumour has it that (new) Arcade games from June 1st will be worth 400 achievement points rather than 200.
S.C.G Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 MindFreak said: Rumour has it that (new) Arcade games from June 1st will be worth 400 achievement points rather than 200. Interesting... if true then I think this may have a lot to do with developer RedLynx pushing the boundaries of what to expect from an arcade title with the release of Trials Evolution as from what I've seen that title is more than just a simple sequel as not only does it appear to retain all the elements that made the original Trials HD such a fantastic title but it looks like they've added a lot more. Simultaneous online multiplayer will undoubtedly be one of its main selling points but what intruiges me more is the level editor which looks to be extremely powerful and versatile especially for a downloadable game, interestingly it seems not only to allow you to create tracks but actual slef-contained mini-games within the confines of the games engine... that's what it looked like from the latest trailer anyway. June 1st would seem a likely date for it so I'm gonna call it now, if this gamerscore increase is going to happen for all/some XBLA titles then Trials Evolution will most lkely be the game that launches it, if I'm wrong then the game will just come out even earlier with less gamerscore - if the rumour is even true - but either way I can't wait for it.

Major Nelson has just confirmed the story on his blog, games can start having 400 GS from April and it becomes mandatory in June link

Cube Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 I wonder what would happen if HoT's achievements were erased...
Dan_Dare Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 I'd put good money on a homicidal rampage, possibly terrorism.
