I just wish it wasn't so hard to program the power toggle onto a universal remote.

My Harmony 680 remote powers the 360 on and off with no problem.

I got the Frys inventory notice too.

Dumb question... Why would you do this?

For when you want to use it as a DVD player and not play games?

Or turn on the whole media center with the push of 1 button.

I would also assume that these players would NOT be playable online. I can already see a bunch of penis-heads already

Yeesh i hope not. Supposedly if you change your avatar to something with the digi cam then only people on your friends list will see it.

Personally i think you would see more assheads. Literally the people might be assholes.

"A number of people have been commenting about the potential for using ‘different’ body parts for their head. Well, I have to say there are two reasons why this won’t be as fun as it sounds:

1) The Digimask tech detects facial features on the photo. If it cannot find eyes, nose, mouth, etc then it will probably fail to generate a head. This is another reason why you should take your photos in a good, even light.

2) Even if it did accept the input, the end result would be so distorted as to render the thing unrecognizable. Believe me, I’ve tried it! "

Sorry you will have to keep it in your pants..

Wouldn't be the first time me exposing my penis would fail to generate head.

Well it might not generate an image but that doesn't mean it has to be kept in the pants. I mean what other reasoning would you have for how goLucky plays CoD??

I think online could work. Just let the host of the game kick anyone that had an offensive mug shot. I don't think xmiyux's mohawk is going to look right though.

See i pulled a switcheroo there - normally i try to pick on Martin but i haven't played any games with him in so long i'm not sure he would remember who i was.

The thing that cracks me up though is the last time i played CoD with Lucky he just kicked me around like none other.

Well you are in luck on two counts. My mohawk irritated me so i shaved it all off. The second issue is my dislike of poker games so i wouldn't be playing in the game anyhow.

That is correct. I have it programmed on a macro on my MX-700, but it will only turn the unit on/off remotely if I happened to turn the unit on/off from the console itself previously. Some sort of software switch that toggles the last power on/off mode. not a huge biggie since I just grab the woreless controller and turn it on from there while everything else is launching, but it would've been nice anyway.

Ok, so I am up and running on Xbox live...First time here and I am a real novice. I know I sound real retarded, but why the fuck cant I play games that I have downloaded onto my harddrive? I cant get the Hexic HD game or the Astropop I dl'ed for the wife to play. It just asks me to move, copy, or delete.

If you go to the blade that has an option My Arcade Games. That is where you find the ones to play.

You probably need to go to a different 'blade'. If you're still in the XBox Live download area, you cannot play the games there. Go into 'blade # 2' I think and look for the XBox Live Arcade games there.

I'm not home right now, so I cannot give you perfect instructions.

Good luck and enjoy the experience.
