XBOX 360 Thread. First page FAQ coming on the 1st of never

^ Well at least it gives you a warning before it shuts down but I’m wondering if it at least gives you the choice to continue? Let’s say DMC5 comes out and you’ve been at it on the lastsection on Dante Must Die mode for at least 3 hours when suddenly that little message pops up right where you’re near the end. You’ve probably been raging those entire 3 hours too to the point that its hard to contain yourself from tossing the controller into the damn wall. What if this thing just goes ‘EWWHIP SORRY GUYS I GOTTA SIT THIS ONE OUT!’ right in the middle of that? lol

Ok so the Maxi just had a sale from their electronics section and I grabbed all the 1400 MS points for 5 bucks each :rock:

what are the best things to splurge on?

man I wish I can get games on demand with the points.

You can. If you try to buy something, there should be a “press Y to purchase w/ MS points” option at the bottom.

WTB patch that has the same “We’re shutting down due to lack of ventilation” feature for older 360’s

It’ll only cost you 299$

:amazed::amazed::amazed:

Thanks alot!

**Damn man, i’ve never played Crackdown 1, just tried the demo to Crackdown 2 it’s beast.

It’s like City of Heroes and Grand Theft Auto or something.**

Does anyone have a problem with the controller sync to the new Xbox slim? I’m trying to play Rock Band with my wireless guitar and it won’t read the sync. It’s pissing me off.

So, is the D-pad on the slim controller any better than the old one?

Yeah, after I traded in my COD 360 for it. At least this one’s purring like a kitten. I think those might have just gotten it rough during shipping. Thank God the transfer kit lets me play my games offline as well. Thought I would have to wait another year to do a license transfer.

For real? So the transfer kit also migrates the licenses at the same time? I thought one had to use the license tool from xbox.com independently of migrating all the data from the old HDD to the new console to associate thoses licenses to it.

that’s even better news about the transfer kit, now that my 360 got rrod’d again last weekend, I’m just upgrading to the slim.
so no offline lockout if done with the transfer kit. that’s some fucking hot news. thanks a lot guys.

So for this Gamestop trade in deal to work, do I have to pre order a Slim beforehand? Or can I just walk in there with my Xbox, and as long as they have the system, it should be okay?

Probably gonna do this deal sometime soon, as my Xbox hasn’t RROD in about 2 years, and I’m pretty sure the warranty is already done.

Even Microsoft’s online storefront has priced Kinect at $150.

So the sound the Xbox 360 S makes when you press the power button or the eject button is absolutely amazing. It just sounds so cheerful.

anyone know if the slim also chews up games while upright?

I’ve switched my Xbox between horizontal and upright and it’s never eaten a disc unless it’s been moved while playing a game. The slim hasn’t eaten any discs for me yet either. Granted I just got it yesterday.

Also, I’m pretty sure I’m breaking some unwritten rule having a 360, PS3 and Wii all on the same shelf.

Any of you guys with the new 360s? Any experiencing the supposed heating issues?

Hell now I dunno if I want the S or should I just go track down a 250GB drive :confused:
