I rented Blacksite last night and it's actually pretty good in single player. That's all I've played thus far as the only game I was able to get into in multiplayer was just a one on one practice because there has to be a minimum of four players in a lobby to start a game. It doesn't seem like anyone is playing it online right now.

Yes, I believe that people either got banned, or were warned. That is why I don't want to set up a US account just to get access to all of the extra stuff that you guys get that we don't get here in Canada.

Looks like there was another update to Tversity recently, and since then, I can't even get my 360 to find my computer. Anyone else have issues with the latest update?

I haven't updated TVersity since the october 8 release. I just looked at the release notes (http://tversity.com/support/releasenotes/) and they did tweak some stuff. I would go in and play with some of the settings.

I am sure that I had the Oct 8th release, but got prompted for a new update over the weekend. Strange. Regardless, I could always at least get the 360 and my computer to recognize each other, now I can't. I went through all of the trouble shooting, opened up a bunch more ports, and still nothing.

So, after about 5 hours of gameplay, I've finished Blacksite. The first two chapters were good - they were fun, entertaining, and interesting to play through. But, once I got to chapter 3, all of the bugs started to show, with terrible framerate problems as well as some glitches. One time in chapter 4, I walked over to a building and ended up going right through it, enterting empty space. I also got stuck in a pillar once.
Very mediocre game in SP, but the multiplayer was okay.

I was interested in the online co-op but if you finished the entire game in 5 hours, doesn't sound like it would take very long with 2 people playing.

I'm not sure if this was posted before, but Anandtech has a good look at comparing the original XBox 360 versus the new ones with the 65nm CPU's, including pictures of both opened up. Here's a link straight to the pics, but the entire article is decent.

Did the old Core systems (bought in May of this year) come with a component cable? My idiot brother in law bought a Core back then, threw away the box, and claims he never had a component cable.

Gamestop has component cables for cheap. I bought these when i thought my MS 360 cables were bad. They weren't. But I kept the the Mad Catz Universal cables because they worked just fine. I think Gamestop has their own brand of thsi same cable set in the same rack as these. But I also think they're made by the same company. I doubt the average person could tell any difference.
