Also, doesn't the noise of the 360 bother you? My wife is continually whining about how noisy the unit is while the HD-DVD is playing. I didn't know if there was anything that could be done about that. Anyway, I spent $30 on the Best Buy replacement program for the HD-DVD drive. I don't know if I should return it or send it to MS for repair. What I don't want is to send it in and then have MS send me back another model with a different serial number that would invalidate my replacement warranty since either way I was planning on retuning it eventually once the price of stand-alone players dropped precipitously. |

gamerscoreblog.com Six New Titles Coming to XBLA posted Tuesday, May 08, 2007 9:02 AM by johnporcaro Six more titles have been announced, coming later this year. From the same press release announcing Double Dragon: · “Mad Tracks.” This 3-D racing party game from Load Inc. and D3Publisher recalls all the fun of playing with toy cars from childhood. Up to four players can race micro cars in a variety of gameplay modes in familiar settings such as a living room, a restaurant and a toy store. · “Rush’n Attack.” Also known as “Green Beret,” from Konami Digital Entertainment Inc., this is a faithful next-generation update of this classic coin-op arcade title where the player assumes the role of a special forces agent sent behind enemy lines to infiltrate an enemy military complex and free captured prisoners of war. · “Soltrio Solitaire.” From Silver Creek Entertainment, this is a collection of 18 different solitaire games, offering co-op and competitive two-player solitaire game modes. · “Spyglass Board Games.” From Strange Flavour Ltd. and Freeverse, this offers classic versions of the world’s most beloved board games, including chess, checkers, mancala and reversi, as well as the ability to enjoy video chat with friends via the Xbox LIVE Vision camera. · “Street Trace:NYC.” This is a hover board racing and arena battle game from Gaia Industries Inc. set against the urban wasteland of future New York City.

Wow, I got my copy of Fusion Frenzy from that XBOX challenge in the mail today. I had totally forgotten about it and figured I was way too late to make the challenge. I had 10,000 points and got an additional 1500 (from the game Cars and I think Madden 06), but I didn't register well into a week into the competition but still got the game. I also got reward codes for both Contra and some picture pack, too. Sweet!

The Spring Dashboard Update is now available. I just downloaded it. Having the marketplace as a separate blade now is very helpful.

Looks like a pretty good update, with the achievements easily accessible with pics, having the game title show up (as well as achievements), and making it easy to IM (which I don't), but for me, all of the descriptions for TV/movies are showing up in French. When you go to the main menu for TV/movies, the titles look fine, but if you click on one, the title is in french (though the description is still in english).
Anyone else have this issue, or is it only a Canadian thing? |
Was the VGA picture quality fixed? I had read that the VGA connection can now display the image without washed out colors and such and settings can be adjusted for it?
|
I guess it is not a bad update it is ashame no one I know uses MSN Messanger. I like the low power option that was a nice addition.
