I don't have an HDTV and I'm 28. I guess I'm either very immature, an idiot or a technological moron huh?

The text is freaking awful but I adjusted the Game setting on my Wega and it looks much much better.

so far I love the game but the save system sucks, you get so far then die and bam gotta do it all over again.

Stupid clown killed me. Where is that maintenance key so I can escort the survivors out?

Here is a little update on my situation....

I decided not to play Dead Rising until they made a patch for it. So tonight I decided to play a little DOA 4. The game freezes 4 times. So then I tried Burnout. After 10 minutes that froze. Now I'm getting pissed.

So I turn off my system and then turn it back on. 4 red lights. Now I am really pissed. It happens every time I turn it on. I go around the back of my av rack and check the connections. The AV cable wasn't plugged all the way into the system. I thought something was wrong with that way back in December when I first hooked the system up. I plug the AV unit back into the system, all the way this time. I unplug/replug the power cable and then reboot the whole thing.

The system booted up with no problems at all. I put Dead Rising in to test out the freezing. I played for 2 hours with no freezing problems. After the I played DOA4 for about an hour. No problems there.

Was the loose AV cable my problem all along? I hope it was. What does the 4 red lights mean? I know 3 is the "Ring of Death".

All I care about now is the fact that I can finally play Dead Rising. Knock on wood.

I'm fucked.

This forum is a hardcore DVD/movie site. It should be expected that most people on this forum would have a HDTV, but that is definitely not true in real life. There are plenty of people, including adults, that still have a standard TV. I am 27 and do not own a HDTV. I plan to buy one within the next few years, but it is not a priority to me. HDTV won't be commonplace in the household for probably another 3 or 4 years at least. A lot of people don't see any real need for a HDTV, and they won't upgrade until it is absolutely mandatory (ie standard TVs stop being made or HDTVs become dirt cheap). DVD players didn't become commonplace until they became dirt cheap.

When I called they said 3 lights is a bad a/v cable/connection. 4 meant repairs.

Speaking from first hand experience.

3 blinking red lights = Dead 360.

^ Hence the Mine had three, I replaced the cables and then I got 4. I don't think MS has a clue.

so has anyone mowed down any zombies on the mountain bike yet?

If you've ever been on the forums on gamefaqs, you'd know why he said this. it was not an attack on you comments.

According to MS own site, 3 is a hardware failure and 4 is a video cable problem, usually not plugged in correctly.

I found a restroom in the fitness place so at least I can pick up from THERE rather than from the security room. One thing I do appreciate is the regeneration system. There seems to be plenty of food items to restore your health... that's nice.

Is anyone else having a difficult time gauging how far away the zombies are? There are times when I swing and miss, and other times when they seem to be just as far when I missed, they grab me.

I realize we have very mature members here compared to other forums. Personally an HDTV is on my wishlist but very low on the list right now. I had a flat tube TV long before most people had heard of them but I'm a little slower when shopping for a HDTV.

It's so hard to save people in this game that I've pretty much given up until my next time playing. The bosses and missions are keeping me plenty busy for the time being.

are there any plans for this game to be released on another console or on PC?

I am having the same problem. Where do you bring survivors? I can't figure out how to get them out, all the maintenance doors are locked.

Also I am I case 1.4 and can't figure out how to get back to the room that Jessie is in. I shows on the map on the second floor, but I can't figure out how to get in.

Does capcom ever release on PC??

I havent heard anything about another console either.

I've read that from many people...that the first time through, just chop zombie flesh and level up, take some pics...whatever. Then once you're a little stronger start over.

It's kinda like Groundhog Day for Frank isn't it?

You have to take them to the security room. I don't think you can use the maintenance doors until you find a key. You just have to bring the survivors through the mall. You have to go through that door in Paradise Plaza that goes to the warehouse, go through the warehouse, back up to the roof, and through the airduct.

It's got the "Only on Xbox 360" stamp on the case.

Condemned does not. And it came out for PC.

Condemned was published by Sega, not Capcom.

that sucks for me. I really want to play this game but don't want to purchase a 360 because of it.
Too many threads of where people are having to send their 360's off for repair after only having it for 6 months.
Friend of mine had bought his when it was first released and 8 months later it crapped out.

Yes, I realize that. I was referring to the Only on Xbox stamp...DR has one, Condemned did not, and was put out on the PC. Which should answer the question of exclusivity somewhat.

Thanks, I this the same room that I need to meet Jessie in for case 1.4?

DOh! I got killed by the clown again and when the load or save screen came up I told It to save. I didn't realize it would start me back at the begining of the game! This sucks, I hated the first boss battle, and the clown is pissing me off too.
