Maybe they could fix that piece of shit you call wireless headset i have to fucking shout into it for people to hear me

[SilentHunter]

It has to be you headset because I had no problem with it and I have it for a year and a half now.

[Quadnike]

Dno it broke so i think you get one with the reach console so my opinion might change

[Yggdrasill]

Anyone want to play borderlands or splinter cell conviction coop?

[SilentHunter]

Fuck

They are increasing the price for Xbox live in some countries. I know it doesn't say Ireland but it dose say UK so most likely it might affect us.

It's only the one month ones though. Right?

[dooley]

That's kinda shitty of them.I mean it's not like there's been any major updates or additions to Live recently so how are they justifying the increase

[SilentHunter]

Well Major just said it will only affect those countries but when the price increse does hit Ireland I'm going to go sliver. I wouldn't mind paying the extra €10 if we get all the features that the US live gets.

@Dooley

What do you expect it microsoft. They cancelled 1 vs 100 so they find it fare to increase the price of live.

I know.I'm not really that surprised I suppose.They do seem to be getting worse lately though with 1v100 being cancelled as you mentioned,Joyride being changed from what was supposed to be a free arcade game to a full price Kinect game,more and more arcade games costing 1200msp and now increasing the price of Live without improving the service

[SilentHunter]

I say there next feature is going to have is something to do with kinect only.

[Korgis]

it's disapointing the the us hav netflix and they will hav espn.

[Yggdrasill]

So is anyone else getting dead rising 2 case zero tomorrow?

[SilentHunter]

Well it's delayed in Japan but no word if it is delayed for the rest of the world.

[crow-feet]

i really wanted espn

[SilentHunter]

I wanted indie games so I can spend left over MSP on a game instead of avatar shit.

[Yggdrasill]

Well it's delayed in Japan but no word if it is delayed for the rest of the world.

It's not delayed in Europe or US.

[Yggdrasill]

Just got 4200 ms points. Probably going to get shank. Anyone else get it? It has online coop right?

[SilentHunter]

It only has local co-op and it's only a 3 hour game.

[Yggdrasill]

Lame. Well I bought it anyway, and it's fun enough. Reminds me of Desperado.

[JohnnyCbad]

Spent all day watching the best american Blazblue players going at it, it's sheer bliss to see this level of skill!

Also, interestingly, I just saw the BB:CS tier list

S: Litchi, Bang, Ragna
A: Arakune, Hakumen, Carl
B: Hazama, Jin, Taokaka, Lamda
C: Tsubaki, Noel, Tager
D: Rachel

Myself and Hunter's mains are C, while the other guy we play with are both S? What a great excuse for sucking

[JohnnyCbad]

Opps, forgot the video, check out this insane skill

[SilentHunter]

Wow I don't want to face him when I get CS.

[SilentHunter]

Well played the Vanquish demo and I love it. The thrusters are a nice change in gameplay. Will get this at some stage.

[dooley]

Beat Mass Effect again last night.Love that game.Gonna start Mass Effect 2 tonight I reckon

Question:If you're installing to the hard-drive do you need to install both discs?And how much space does both discs take up if so?

[SilentHunter]

From what I read you do need to install both and it take up over 12gb.

[dooley]

Enjoying Mass Effect 2 so far apart from one thing.The in game text is annoyingly small.Not everyone has a feckin 50 inch tv Bioware

Ya Bioware knows they made a mistake when they made the text for HD TV and they are not going to do it again in Mass Effect 3. They also said that they are unable to fix it with a patch.

Got Halo: Reach in the post. Didn't expect the same health system as in ODST. Still I do like it that you can edit your main characters armour for the campaign.

Yeah I seem to remember reading that somewhere.Pity they can't fix it cos it's bloody annoying.Have to sit about 2 ft from the screen everytime I want to read something

Dead Rising was another game like that though i never played Mass Effect so dont know which is worse.

Never played DR myself so I couldn't tell you.The only other game I've played with text this small is Alpha Protocol and I don't think that was as bad as Mass Effect 2.The stupid thing is that the text in Mass Effect 1 was perfect so why they needed to change it at all is beyond me

[Quadnike]

am happy to announce that we’re doing an Xbox 360 System Update Preview program for our next release, and the opportunity to sign up is now available. The Preview Program will give you the chance to check out ESPN on Xbox LIVE, Zune music, Netflix search, the new Xbox LIVE dashboard, and new updates to Zune video and Family Settings on your Xbox 360*. Much like we did last year, you’ll need to visit the Microsoft Connect site from this link and sign in with your Windows LIVE ID that is connected to your Xbox LIVE Gamertag. Once you complete the survey that is presented to you, the Connect site will notify you immediately if you’ve been accepted. A couple of points before you head off to register:

* We’re looking for multiple thousands of participants, so your chances of making it in are good.
* This is not for Kinect. You will not be receiving a Kinect sensor if you are chosen to participate.
* This opportunity is open to all Xbox LIVE Members in regions where Xbox LIVE is available.
* To avoid any problems, read the survey carefully and double check all the information your provide.
* While both Xbox LIVE Gold and Silver members can sign up, Priority will be given to Gold members in the selection process.

Click here to sign up!

Please remember you wont be able to use party chat with members not in the preview program as the voice quality has been improved in the update and i guess there obviously not compatible.

[SilentHunter]

The survey is not showing up for me.

My Xbox360 was showing the RROD to me when I turned. Turned it off and back on again and it's running fine now.

[VampiricPadraig]

My friend got his Xbox 360 for xmas a couple of years ago, he plugged it in for the first time and when he turned it on...RROD!. Turned it off and back on and it has worked ever since...
