The Halo awards are actually given to you from Halo: Waypoint. Launch that and see if it fixes it for you.

OK, yeah I'll Launch it again to see if that helps. I already had one award from DL'ing Waypoint.

Thanks!

<b>EDIT:</b> It worked

I think eventually though the RROD will become permanent for you anyway so it's a moot point.

Looks like the choice has been taken from me. Today, it went permanent.

Couple of codes for Iron Man dashboard themes:

HKJXJ-P2CM3-PJF9V-T4MJ7-WHHBB
K8X7K-QKWDW-6BQCJ-MX3JC-CGKYQ

Please post if you used it!

And I have at least 12 more if anyone still wants one. (And it's more like 80% Dr Pepper, 20% Iron Man themes)

I used the 2nd one which is a Dr Pepper Premium Theme. Iron Man as well?

Thanks!

Rereading my post, I screwed it up worse than Dr Pepper did. It's supposed to be an Iron Man 2 theme and technichally it is, but it's Iron Man standing next to and flying into huge cans of Dr Pepper. So it's really much more a Dr Pepper theme. The next time I post a smart-ass comment, I'll try to make it a little easier to understand. Sorry.

Anyone know if Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, or some brick and mortar are doing any sales or specials for Red Dead? I keep going back and forth on buying it but if i could pick it up today and get it for less than 60$ or with a gift card i would.


Yes i know i should have bought it on Amazon with the 20$ gift cert but i was a slacker and indecisive.

Best offer out there is TRU today. $25 gift card between 10-2. You have to have a TRU Reward card to get the deal.

I was tempted by the Mass Effect 2 Avatar stuff, but it just feels like a waste of money, even if I love the property associated with the clothing or prop. Hey, if you like that stuff, go for it. I just completely fail to see the appeal.

Decker 05-18-10 03:35 PM

Man I wish they'd drop or revise that douchey pose that they have all the Avatars stand in.

I can sort of see why you'd want to dress up your avatar in a Star Wars costume, but why get one with a full helmet? I mean is there any point in buying the costume if the avatar no longer resembles you at all?

I get your post after seeing the theme... but I redeemed the code on xbox.com.... so hadn't seen the actual theme yet, just the name of it.

Speaking of Avatar Marketplace : Is there anything more fraudulent than their "Most Popular" list. I might have a hard time believing that the Kefling Miner Hat is the most popular Avatar Item or that Gonzaga has the most popular college gear, but who knows, maybe that's possible. Still, there's no way on God's Green Earth that the Toronto Raptors have not just one but the TWO most popular NBA jerseys available. Someone is pulling our legs.

The MS people are going to think I'm an alcoholic. I sent them my 360 in a Sam Adams variety pack box from Costco. Other than the bubble wrap, to pack out the box I used torn Smithwick's and Heineken boxes.

So I got an E79 code today. Is this the gateway to the 3 RROD? Microsoft won't honor a 3 year warranty unless it's the 3 RROD or E74. What a crock of shit... my console is 1 1/2 years old. Nice quality product Microsoft!

The StarWars avatar stuff costs money? I just assumed they were free since I saw no mention of prices - I was thinking of the Wookie head, but not now.

The costumes are 320 points each and surprisingly they are just sold as a costume set -- you can't take the helmet off, which is a bummer. The pet tauntaun is 240 points. And yup, the Lightsaber is 400 points still. That's where I drew the line.

It's Yoda's saber. Is it half-height like in the movie and equally tacked on for no practical purpose? Oh, wait... I know the answer to that last one already.

E79: Dashboard Error - Couldn't start xam.xex: probably a file system corruption, it could also be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it.

Thanks. I've done some digging too and my hard drive works fine on a 2nd 360 system that I have. The Elite won't boot up at all w/out the hard drive -- so that tells me it's the console itself. I'm just not sure if I should pry the thing open now and try clean it out are try the penny trick.
