Yeah, I went through the same. I think I still have some random videos from Modest Mouse and Bad Religion. I was surprised when they cost money later on.

I would just like to say that I am the first person to play and get 1000/1000 in the Hannah Montana Movie game that came out today! Suck it Gears of War and COD players....Hannah rules!

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

I'm having an issue after today's update. My profile no longer loads by default. I checked and both Auto Sign-Ins are set to on. Its a new console with the built in MU that I added a hard drive to. Here's where it gets really weird though, since I have the profile on the internal memory, for the heck of it I removed the hard drive. When I did that and started up, it loaded my profile right on start up. I put the hard drive back on, and it starts up with no profiles loading. I sign in on my profile and it still shows both checked to sign in. Anyone have any ideas?

Update:
Nevermind, after it doing that since 4 this afternoon it seems to be working again. The last time few times I had it on I made no changes to any settings and this last time it just started up with me signed in.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Right after the update it didn't auto-sign me in either. I didn't think to reboot to see if it was a one shot deal though.

You need help quick. Your gamerscore addiction has killed the brain cells that control good game selection.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Oh, ok. Thanks for clearing that up.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

I think it's ridiculous everything they charge for on Xbox Live. Do they charge for movie trailers? I wouldn't be surprised...

Any suggestions for where the best deal would be on a bigger hard drive than my current 20gb?

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Ebay w/Live.com cashback (currently at 14%, IIRC).

Just a quick search brings up a ton at the $99 mark w/free shipping. Sort by location, since there seems to be a rash of drives coming from Asian countries.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

If you don't mind used, Gamestop has the 120gb for $99 (edge card knocks another 10% off)

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Just make sure you get the transfer kit from Microsoft or someone else.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

And then sell it on eBay for mad money.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

I totally failed at my one attempt to sell it on eBay.


But i am about 99% sure that is because i'm clueless and suck at selling things online.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

I still have mine and haven't tried to sell it yet. I don't sell on ebay either.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

I just used my transfer cable (bought the RE5 Console instead of just upgrading to a 120GB drive). I figured being able to sell that into my final price of the RE5 console once I sell my old Xbox, etc. Figure it is worth $40 or so on eBay. Also the RE5 Theme code fetches atleast $25 it seems. Some folks are crazy.

Am I dreaming or is the red controller that came with my RE5 set lighter than my previous 2 white controllers? If so, I now have a valid excuse for a few of my COD matches last night ;)

Here's the "Deal of the Week" info for Gold Members for this month.

Nothing too exciting. I would maybe pick up Penny Arcade, but I'm still hoping they do some kind of bundle pricing when all of them are out.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Thanks. Looks like nothing for me.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Penny Arcade was a pretty fun little rpg. I would easily recommend it at that price.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Will definitely get PA:Ep1 for 800. Awesome. Will nicely fill the gap left by not buying PQ:G :up:

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Figures. Apparently my deal searching abilities suck because I would always find out about 120gb deals a couple days after they ended. Anyway I just bit the bullet a few weeks ago and spent the regular price on the 120gb.

I guess i should sell me 20gb drive; but for some reason I want to hang on to my transfer cable.

For anyone that wants a cheap extra wired guitar for the 360. Gamestop is selling Guitar Hero Aerosmith for $9.99 this week and you get the wired GH guitar for free with it. There is also a coupon for an extra 10% off in Game Informer. I usually play these games on PS3, but couldn't pass on this for $9 last night.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest

9.99?!?! Wow, I might actually have to step foot into Gamestop for the first time in years :lol:
Thanks

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

well, my launch 360 finally bit the dust with a RROD today :(. i bought the extended warranty within the first year, which was extendend by MS for a year, so the warranty was good through 10/09. after a five minute phone call, a coffin is en route (you need to ask for it specifically).

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Well, that took a long time to die. Are they really refusing to repair RRoD on launch consoles now without the extended warranty? You'd have a pretty good class-action case there since MS has admitted all launch and early units will fail eventually.
Hope your repair goes smooth. Mine didn't and I had to send it back for a second repair before it started working right. Make sure they send it back to a place you can sign for it -- that turned out to be a nightmare for me.

I found one for $62. I don't qualify for a free transfer cable as my unit is actually an Arcade model, but I do have a memory card. I've transferred all the user-related items to the card and will transfer the games one-by-one.

The seller is only 2 hours away, so hopefully I'll have it by Wednesday. :)
