Xbox 360 Console Discussion

Been playing mass effect recently whens the best time to do side quests? im on novaria now and i havent done any but im doing ok so far. do i need to do them really?

[Caris]

I just got a non-hdmi 360 back from repairs..I wonder if I have an Opus board. Anyway to check? (w/o poppin the case open..)

 

Stick a flashlight in the left of it and check what colour the heatsink is.

[Marshmellow]

A grayish-silver? I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for (and it's not to easy to see..) but I think that's the heatsink.

 

Here's a pic =]

[ViPeR]

Ok, Microsoft got my 360 yesterday in for repair and are sending it out today! Is this indication that it's probably a replacement rather than a repair?

[Noodleman]

Mine was only with them for a day as well and I definately got my old one back.

[ViPeR]

I guess they're super pro at fixing them by now.

You have the old one as you have the copper pipe.

[WOOP]

hey

 

 

I want to buy another 360, have all the hardware issues been sorted with the consoles in the shops now?, if I buy an elite will I get red rings and disc errors? Is there a version of the console which will defiantly not have all the old crappy gizmos in there?

 

 

Pleeeeeeeeeeease someone respond to me, I give you cake = cake is a lie = old joke.

No.

Until the end of the year when we get the new 65nm GPU's (not gizmos...) the current 360's are still prone to hardware faliures.

[Gizmo]

old crappy gizmos

 

 

(not gizmos...)

 

:(

[Guest Jordan]

Awww... Poor Gizmo

[WOOP]

Errr...hell yeah kiddo!

Just played Rez (HD) for the first time ever. For the first minute i was thinking 'wtf this is lame' and then wow, it has SO won me over. Fantastic game and the second boss was insane!

[Guest Jordan]

Ha, you think the Area 2 is good... wait till you see Area 5.

[Dyson]

I totally didn't get the Rez hype. Played the demo and found it really boring.

[Cube]

Same here. I even tried it 4 or 5 times.

[Guest Jordan]

The first Area is a piece of piss not to mention it has the worst music in the game.

 

And that's really saying something considering how good the rest of it is.

[ReZourceman]

I think Rez is amazing. LOL!

 

Actually I wasnt too impressed with the game.

[Roostophe]

I bought SoulCalibur on XBLA last night.

 

I haven't played it yet. But I was watching my brother play it and there were chills up and down my spine.

 

I haven't played the game in fucking years, man.

 

Fuck it, I'm going to go and play it now!

[Guest Jordan]

SC1 > 4

[Roostophe]

Is that so?

 

Shame, but I'm-a buying it anyway.

[S.C.G]

SC II > SC I > SCIV > SC III

[Guest Jordan]

SC II > SC I > SCIV > SC III

 

Totally agree there...

[Daniel]

argh! mass effect is doing my head in Trying to kill Benizia and i really cant. Done the first bit then get her after the stupidly long cutscene then i get owned by her commandos! tried it like 10 times! and every time i have to wait five mins for this cutscene to finish just to die after like 30 seconds
