I know, right? Nerds all around me!

Yeah, man, any time.

Depending on your layout and needs having a wired controller can be nice as well. I own one wired controller that I can use with both the 360 and the PC. It is nice for playing games on Steam (Trine in particular) without having to pay extra for the dongle that lets a wireless controller work on the PC.

Hey, miyu : Totally off topic, but I was wondering what your Live gamerpic is. It looks exactly like my sister (well, maybe like her on her best days) and it freaks me out every time I see it.

Proof below:

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

The gamerpic came from a demo disc packed in an issue of OXM. It is Zoe from Left 4 Dead.

:lol: at the irony.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

That was sorta the point...

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Yeah, I got it :shrug:

Screw you guys. I've got a 5 month old with a cold, a cold myself and a wife with the flu. I don't need your shit!

Someone needs to report this guy for his abuse to members.

Is the data transfer cable train still going? Or does someone have a legit MS data transfer cable that I can purchase?

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

It never went anywhere... because you can use a flash device for everything, and I'm a moron.

So when are the points from the october promo supposed to be rebated? I'm too busy (read: Lazy) to do any research)

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I thought it was 6-8 weeks or the end of November.

Awww :( So our own personal human centipede never made it past first base?

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

:lol: Nope :( It's till sitting in my drawer with the picture on it. Everytime my wife opens it to grab something, she scoffs.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Thanks for the look up :up:

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines

It might take a little while. But it'll come eventually.
Just got my Noble Six Avatar Helmet code today and I signed up for that Live promotion probably two months ago.

If you do USPS ship from home, they'll just pick it up with your normal mail. However, I know you're busy with your new child and being sick and all, so I can find other means of getting one.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Glad to hear. I was wondering about that and was going to shoot them a follow up e mail this weekend.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Watching a live ESPN football game on the 360 is cool but does anyone else find it odd that they don't show any commercials? Just a screen that says "the event will resume shortly."

I figured they would still have commercials since that is one more way to make money. I'm not complaining but it is rather strange.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

they do that on Sunday Night Football when you stream that on the internet. occasionally there will be commercials, but only a few per game.

i honestly don't know the reason for it. maybe it has something to do with the companies not paying for the cost to air the commercials on the internet too.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

It was a question I asked back in the preview. I remember ESPN360 doing commercials in the past, like during March Madness and maybe even the World Cup. Since they've moved to ESPN3, I haven't seen any.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I tried the streaming today and all i get is standard definition on ESPN. How you stream in HD?

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I didn't have to do anything. Are you sure everything is in SD or just the one event?

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Some events probably arent in HD

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

i watched the auburn game today on espn3 through my xbox
definitly wasnt HD and there was alot of buffering
but for the most part, it was watchable.. definitly better than paying PPV rates
my xbox is hardwired and my connection is typically around 12mb down.. never had any issues playing HD through netflix, no buffering, minimal adjusting down to lower quality... almost always full bars

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I forgot to set the DVR to record the Michigan-Illinois game so ESPN3 on the 360 really saved my butt as I was able to start the full-length replay within minutes of the game ending and it looked very close to true HD. Not a game I would've wanted to miss out on. I was skeptical that I would ever actually use the thing and here I was turning to it within days of the upgrade.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I have a 1.5 mb connection and it definitely looked sd. Is that how all the games are gonna look due to my shitty connection speed?

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

The Auburn game was blocked here until after it was over. Since it was PPV, the picture was standard but was very watchable. It was nice to go thru the highlights myself (once the Arkansas/SC game got out of hand) since I wouldn't have normally been able to watch any of that game since I wouldn't spring for PPV for a Chattanooga game.

The Arkansas/SC game was in HD. The picture seemed just a little darker than the HD broadcasts on the main networks but that could just be ESPN. I canceled my HD cable awhile back so I haven't had ESPNHD in a year. No having HD anymore for sports (other than the local affiliates) really makes me love having this. I wouldn't have been able to watch the Arkansas/SC game in HD otherwise. :up: to this new channel!

Only thing that sucks is if your internet connection goes down or drops out. Then you are fucked.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I like that new controller but the left thumbstick squeaks when I use it. Any thoughts on how to fix that? Will it just go away eventually?

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Does anybody know how to change the audio stream on Zune from stereo to 5.1? I downloaded the HD version of The Walking Dead and when it plays my receiver switches to stereo. It's really annoying and I wonder if it's similar to the PS3 where I have to manually switch to the 5.1 audio with the game controller. When I play games, they always come through in 5.1, but not this.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

So, does anybody know of any games that have something similar to Bionic Commando's challenge system?

Okay, I know nobody played it so I'll explain. Basically you're given a task.. such as say, throwing an enemy into the air and killing them in midair. When you complete it, you'll be given an upgrade (extra helath or weapon upgrades), an expanded version of the challenge (do it fifteen times), and/or a different but related challenge.

It's an addicting little system and I'd probably give another game that does something similar a shot.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Also, I just want to say if they had not wasted time, money and resources making a fucking shit bullet-point only multi-player component that was probably dead and forgotten a month after its release, Bionic Commando could have been a great game. Instead, it's a game that has a few real shitty design choices that happens to rock really hard when the parts of the game that work are working. Just a LITTLE polish. That's all this game needed. And that went wasted into a component that nobody but the marketing department wanted.

Red Dead Redemption has something like this. Everything from picking flowers, to shooting hats off people's heads, to killing a grizzly bear with a knife.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Rad. I was interested in this anyway but am waiting for the $20 or GOTY version.

Did anyone do the Reese's Halloween promotion that was on the Dashboard? I just received a First Prize email. I was very excited until I read what I won:
