Is there a website that has pics of 360 themes? There are some I may consider using some points on but I'd like to see them first.

You can try Xbox.com, but they are not always up to date.

There used to be a great site, but they stopped updating this summer, then closed up shop and now, checking Google, it seems they're completely gone. I've forgotten the web address entirely

Anyone else download the I Am Legend theme? I realize it is free content but it's the same damn picture on every blade. That seems cheap, cheaper than free mind you, and lazy to me.

Would that be dashboardthemes.com, perhaps? They never really had everything up to date anyways, and from looking at their page now, they seem to be kind of dicks.

If anyone cares, Lost Odyssey got 36/40 (9,9,9,9) in Famitsu. It's out in Japan this month.

Hey, it's not the same at all! Look closely, some blades have abandonded cars in the foreground, while others have abondonded TRUCKS!


But you're right, the theme does suck. The Golden Compass one is a lot better.

Wow. MS is really stepping it up in the discount/free content lately. In the past couple of months we've had:

Pinball FX
- Free table

GHIII
- 3 free boss songs
- Free Halo theme

Boom Boom Rocket

- 5 free songs

Bioshock
- Free DLC, whatever it turns out to be

Then you have the arcade game sales and now XBLA Greatest Hits at half price.

Way to go MS. Keep it up. :clap:

Dont forget free pilot episodes of Heroes and Jericho (in HD) and a free south park episode :clap:


Yeah Mike, I too have been very impressed with the free stuff on marketplace. I love the idea of themes and gamer pics, and call me cheap but I just cannot bring myself to spend points on a theme or gamer pic. Something like that should be free, I know people still have to work on them, but come on they are just pics. Your going to laugh but I check the marketplace everyday for new free stuff.... :D Its kind of a pain in the butt going through all the different catagories and subcatagories but I will check the whole marketplace (especially the themes and gamerpic section) VERY carefully daily, and there have been ALOT of free themes and pics in the last year. :banana:

I don't believe you'll need to go through that anymore, I'm pretty sure they're adding a 'Free' section next week with the update.

Which games are the XBLA greatest hits, is there going to be a new tab or do have a link on this MC? Thanks

After a year of having my 360, and years of never having an issue with any console (including an original PlayStation), I got the red ring of death yesterday. I called MS and have a box on it's way but I can still play games on my 360. The red lights are flashing the whole time but it seems like the games are running fine - is that normal?

discostu1337 12-02-07 10:23 AM

definitely not "normal" :)

Icculus 12-02-07 10:35 AM

That's pretty much what I thought. The red lights should come along with a system failure, right?

I'm thinking of just continuing to play until the inevitable end and just send it in then...

Probably just some "Merry Christmas" prank MS is playing on you...

I just got a free 48 hours trial of xbox live from dominos. Probably not worth it, but if anyone wants to use it:

It's posted in the XBLA thread.

Billiards & Lumines are dropping to 800 pts.

Zuma, Marble Blast Ultra and Small Arms are dropping to 400 pts.

This is awesome news!! I was just planning on picking up Marble Blast Ultra; the demo completely sold me! Zuma is pretty fun too. For that price I might as well...
