Fuelbi, I suggest you take that attitude elsewhere.

I'm not specifically sure what you mean by, "You're a Moron" and "Million Defects".

Care to elaborate?

To be fair, I'm guessing he is referring to the loads of 360's with RRoD at launch (went through four myself )

 

[theeboredone]

It was a terrible ratio to have. I think at one point, it was 1/3 360s suffered from RRoD

 

[F8AL]

It was a terrible ratio to have. I think at one point, it was 100% of 360s suffered from RRoD

Fixed that for you.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

I've only went through two RRoD. First one was from launch and had bad cooling, and the other was, uh, modded with a fan, and had a graphics problem.

I have the new slim one, atm.

 

[Vinylic.]

That one is less likely to have RRoD?

I've gotten it twice as well, then my THIRD one broke cause it stopped reading discs. =/

I now have an Elite model still covered under warranty. I plan on buying the extended warranty ($50 for 2 years) next week cause it runs out soon. x_x

And lucky. I got my Elite for cheap.

Slim models do not get the RROD. The problem was fixed 2 years ago.

 

[theeboredone]

How long were the old 360s covered if someone got the RRoD?

 

[F8AL]

How long were the old 360s covered if someone got the RRoD?

3 years from the purchase date.

The old 360 models come with:

1 year standard warranty (you can buy more, up to 3 years)
3 year RROD warranty

The new slim models aren't covered under the 3 year RROD warranty since they're actually quiet and don't overheat. I wish I had one. x_x

 

[Vinylic.]

My friend has one and it's pretty damn neat. But it had less memory than I expected.

Somewhere around 4GB.

Oh, the cheap one...

So I figured out a way to make the Turtle Beach x31 (and the x11 as well) work for all consoles. Since I have an input switch box, all I have to do is setup the turtle beach as usual. And no matter what imput is on, it'll play sound no matter what console I play. The funny thing is the usb connector still has to go into the 360, but it will play sound for I'm assuming any console. It worked for the Wii when I tried it.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

Are you sure it needs a 360 for the USB? I always just assumed it just needs any USB inputs like in laptops and even the wii.But yeah I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work as headphones but the mic is exclusively for the 360 controllers

 

[F8AL]

I just bought 2 years of extended warranty for my elite console, like a boss.

March 1st, 2014 now.

 

[theeboredone]

But...720 comes out in 2013...

 

[F8AL]

But...720 comes out in 2013...

>Implying that I'm eager to upgrade.

 

[Master Xanthan]

But...720 comes out in 2013...

That's confirmed? Link please?

 

[theeboredone]

No it's not confirmed, but if they reveal it in E3 this year, there's no reason to think it won't come out in 2013. Similar to what the WiiU did.

 

[SwampertTheGreat]

I have 2 working xboxs atm goml.

I'm assuming holiday 2013 for the 720 as well

 

[Hot_ArmS]

Does amazon.com ship to Canada? Without extra fees?

 

[Fuelbi]

So I got MK7 today

Can someone explain to me how Snaking works in this game? I swear I keep jiggling the circle pad left and right like I did in MKDS and I can't get the red sparks to come out

This isn't the 3DS thread, Fuelbi.

Wow sorry I meant to put that in the 3DS thread

It ships all around the globe. I don't know about their fees though since I never bought anything online.

Just checked, yeah it costs more to ship from amazon.com to Canada. I asked cause sometimes the American site has better deals or exclusive ones. ;-;

 

[TheSaudiMizer]

So I'm bored and looking for a good game to download. Any suggestions?

Next XBOX won't have physical discs.

I guess we figured out how they plan on eliminating used games

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

...Wow, way to kill your userbase. This is even worse than the Wii U's current state.

Cartridges? FINE. No used games? LOL you killed your system. Hopefully they'll get a clue and realize that this is literally a very horrible idea and could cost them billions of dollars. Gamers strive on the used market and the economy is pretty horrible. Nobody can afford only new.

 

[theeboredone]

Hang on, it's just a rumor. We really won't know squat until E3 lol. I originally thought they'd sell games on USB drives, and have a 3.0 port on the 720. However, my friend reminded me that the casual consumer also looks for a physical drive for their multimedia experience. You would pretty much alienate another consumer market if you have no drives. I think there was a report a while back that said the next Xbox would have a Blu-ray drive. So this definitely contradicts the previous report.

 

[Master Xanthan]

Yeah its just a rumor.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

The good thing about that if it's true is that it will finally kill my obsession with video games

You could always buy a different console.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

except the wiiU has dis-interested me with their controller, I tried playing games on the wii using the wiimote and I didnt like it, I only keep mine now cause of brawl. If the next smash doesnt implement gamecube controllers then I def wont get the WiiU.

sony, would still need to hear from them but Ive never been interested in them

If microsoft does that thing from the article then its not worth for me getting it. I dont support the idea, and the majority of the games I play I borrow from friends or buy used.

 

[theeboredone]

All talk about the next Xbox will have to be put on hold until next year. It won't be there this E3.

Maybe the fan backlash to the rumor alone changed their view on it? Like to avoid a horrible idea?

 

[theeboredone]

Maybe. Guess that's why companies always keep hush on rumors. So you can make some changes in case the reception doesn't go well.
