TBH, I don't know when it appeared. I think I first noticed it after my RROD in March. Probably when I set it all back up. Maybe it came with NXE but no one noticed?

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

so.. Im sure its old news and been discussed

but just noticed that the latest updates allow you to browse all the instant offerings from netflix.. instead of only having access to what you put in your queue from a computer

thats great :up:

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

It's nice, but also silly in that you don't have access to see everything available for streaming (only certain selections from their library) and can't search for titles. It was a very puzzling decision, but still it's better than before.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

yep.. a step in the right direction at least

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

XBLM DotW for 8/17:



At least it means the list we saw for August last week isn't far off the mark.

Here is some Hot Felicia Day action since The Guild is on XBL. Can't wait for the new season.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

That's available for free download from Xbox Marketplace as well.
Silly as usual, but I enjoyed watching it, and the series as a whole. Seemed like the final ep of S2 sort of wrapped things up in a way, so I'm not sure where they're going to go. then again, we're not really expecting Citizen Kane out of it.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

This is pretty crappy news the Elite 360 No Longer Ships With Component cables or HDMI cables. What a dumb way to cut cost Microsoft.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Eh, cables are like $5 or less. But yeah, they should have kept them in.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Not those proprietary component/RCA cables.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Yeah, that seems pretty stupid. Sony got shit for it for the last 3 years; dumb for Microsoft to take it away.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

This is probably a side effect of the Elite getting a $100 price drop. Guess they figure they can sell you the component cable to make back some of that $100.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

I still cant find it. The feature was supposed to show on friends gamertags too, no? Arent we supposed to be able to see how long our friends have been a member of LIVE?

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

On your 360's dashboard, go to the "My Xbox" row (the one with the game-in-tray as the first option). The 2nd option is your profile, push A.

For your friends, go to your friends list (either the row on the dashboard or via the guide button). Pick a friend and push A.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

um... are you just messing with me? Wouldnt be the first time MS didnt follow through with a new feature...

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

what are you trying to show here? tbird and your Live age? 3 & 6 according to those images you posted.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Yeah I am confused.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Yeah, I don't get it. Both those screenshots show the tenure...

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

yeah, do you see the big number in the circle to the right of the gamertag? That's how long they've been a member of live.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

OK i see it. I was expecting a date or something. The number with no reference to it didnt make any sense. Thanks!

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

:lol:

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Thanks Ferris I thought I was having a stroke or something.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

you know it doesnt help that the number of 'rep stars' means absolutely nothing.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Lost Planet 2 Co-Op demo is now available (304 megs).

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Mini Ninjas Demo, 968MB.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

I downloaded mini ninjas but have been playing Shadow Complex so not sure when I will get to it.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Section 8 demo is up

Market Place Link

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

I played the demo and liked the actual gameplay. Unfortunately the demo is multiplayer only and i couldn't find a tutorial or anything to explain what all the classes, skills, and weapons actually are. :lol:

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

So apparently Forza is not only an xbox exclusive but it's published by Microsoft gaming studios.... Now for the GAMESTOP FAIL

http://playstationlifestyle.net/wp-c...a1-300x331.jpg

From a ps3 site I visit :lol:

Gamestop is just full of fail aren't they?

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Isn't that the second time Forza has been used? Back when the PS3 launched didn't Forza images get used to promote GranTourismo HD somewhere? (or something along those lines?)

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

My guess is they're probably still taking preorders for the PS3 version.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

they'll refund ... for store credit ... minus a restocking fee

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

They may be willing to convert it to a Game Informer subscription.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

I see that GTA: Lost & Damned dlc is on sale this week for 1200 points instead of the usual 1600. Is it worth it?

GTA is still one that I got halfway thru and need to finish. I wonder if we will be seeing a cheaper special edition with the game and all the DLC added later.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

You won't. But there will be a stand-alone disc released at the same time with Lost & Damned and Gay Tony on it for $40. Figure in ECA discount and it's a wash buying the game via Amazon (at MSRP) vs buying the two DLC packs via Marketplace with this sale. That's the way I'm going to go since the two DLC packs require so much HDD space and would still require the original game in the drive -- there's no real advantage there (and if you don't dig the DLC, you can sell a physical disc).

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Are you sure you can play the game with the new disc? I don't know how the Fallout 3 discs work, but the Mass Effect CE had the DLC on the bonus disc and you had to install it to the hard drive before you could use it.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Good idea. When is that coming out?

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

I miss the thrill of getting games when I was a kid, that was utter awesomeness.
