Aimless Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Thats only RROD, everything else is 1 year But what else do 360s die of? Besides, it's easy enough to force the red if you need to.
Gizmo Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 I should really get round to taking my Xbox in to GameStation and abusing that 1 year warranty...
ipaul Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 If it hasn't got the new chipset you will be lucky to get 18month out of it. Arcade, bought brand new at the end of december, should I be alright?
Caris Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 But what else do 360s die of? Besides, it's easy enough to force the red if you need to. Graphic artifacts, freezing and disk drives to name a few.
Aimless Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Graphic artifacts, freezing and disk drives to name a few. But aren't the first two symptoms of overheating/the RROD? My first had both before the end, at any rate. As far as I'm aware the 360's disk drive is no more vulnerable than any other. Or is there an issue there too?
Ramar Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 As far as I'm aware the 360's disk drive is no more vulnerable than any other. Or is there an issue there too? The noises mine makes I wouldn't be too sure. I wonder whether I'll actually have a disc to remove half the time.
Aimless Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 The noises mine makes I wouldn't be too sure. I wonder whether I'll actually have a disc to remove half the time. Actually, my drive has been making very odd noises since making it to the fourth disk of Lost Odyssey... Roll on my sixth 360.
The fish Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Region locking had better be gone by the next gen, or I'm going to be upset. Sniper rifle and clock tower upset. Haha, I had a similar idea about a different matter. I propose we team up! On topic, Army Of Two looks very, very clever, but the way they hold their weapons when aiming looks stupid. How the fuck are you supposed to be able to fire more accurately with your open eye pressed against the back end of the butt of your rifle??? Other than that, the fire-drawing mechanic looks smexy, along with many other things.
Hellfire Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Arcade, bought brand new at the end of december, should I be alright? It's most likely a Falcon 360, so yeah. It's easy to check. First, if it has HDMI out, considering it's Arcade, it's Falcon. ALso if it's 175W, it's Falcon (old 360's are 203W) EDIT: Just finished GoW, really liked it a lot more than I expected, despite not being ZOMG SAUCE ME NAO, like some people say. Hated the ending, really trying to be something the game isn't, but doesn't make any difference, the game kicks ass. Also, a Cole Train song? FUCK YEAH!
Shorty Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Pre-ordering GTA IV from game or gamestation now will earn you 500 bonus MS points (sent to you by email code when game's released I think) From the looks of things on Kotaku these deals are popping up in the UK more and more frequently to convince you to go to one store rather than another, or to get a game on the 360 rather than PS3
Shorty Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Well lost oddysey pre-orders had 1000 point offers, and some people reported getting 2100 instead for no apparent reason. If I actually wanted Lost Oddysey, I would've probably gone with that store - I think it was HMV.
McPhee Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Gamestation are giving away a poker set with Vegas 2. Odd isn't it, retailers are taking to bribing us with free crap in order to compete, rather than just lowering their prices 10-15%
Wesley Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I think the free give-aways work better though. A bit like publishers getting people to buy limited edition sets with some random crap for a few quid more.
Aimless Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I suppose when they give away tat instead of lowering the price they can say it's an "Exclusive free gift!" You can't really do the same sort of advertising for lower prices, especially as most other stores would have to price match it anyway.
Owen Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Dark Sector and Condemned 2 have both been delayed till April apparently. Dark Sector is definate, Eurogamer has been told they aim to release the game in April now! Not sure about Condemned 2, the date has changed to April 4th on GAME online, and then back to the 28th March. Thought you all like to know!
Cube Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Dark Sector and Condemned 2 have both been delayed till April apparently. Dark Sector is definate, Eurogamer has been told they aim to release the game in April now! Is Dark Sector that space RE4 clone thing?
Owen Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Is Dark Sector that space RE4 clone thing? This is kinda like RE4, but you have a mutant arm! Are you thinking of the horror game set in space, which comes out Halloween?
spirited away Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 This is kinda like RE4, but you have a mutant arm! Are you thinking of the horror game set in space, which comes out Halloween? EA's Dead Space. Look's quite decent...
arnold Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Question for anyone interested, whats the best football game on the 360? lately i've had an urge to play a footie game, god knows why or how this has happed (A bit like my recent interest in it too) But I thought ti might be best to ask here since the last one I can vaugly remember playing fas Fifa 98/ Prem manager 98/99, Something cheap, not going to bomb full price on something i'm hardly going to play.

That Guy Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Graphic artifacts, freezing and disk drives to name a few. You can quite easily lie and tell them you get red lights with either one. A pain yes but life when you use anything by Microsoft. It rarely works fully. Still my PS3 has froze more than my current 360. I've not played my 360 much recently. Played some CoD4 the other day online and got my arse kicked completely which totally put me off wanting to play anything online tbh. I want to get started on Half Life 2 still but I can't be bothered with it yet. Could do with finishing Uncharted and Assassins creed first. Just can't be bothered with games. Damn lazyness!
McPhee Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Same here, i've had Lost Odyssey since Friday and not got around to playing it yet! Tonight i got as far as putting the disk in the machine...
Ashley Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 lol Dexter video game Granted, heard about it a few days ago but still makes me laugh. Mahunt 2 + witty monologues?
