[360] Xbox 360 Discussion. Thermal paste, the delicious and nutricious snack of the future.

So what they're saying is that there's hope for those kids making "I need help asking a girl out" threads in Angst/TQP. They just need to turn on their xbox, like they normally do already, and instead of acting like complete jackasses on live, act like normal human beings {I know, this is a bit of a stretch, but let's pretend} and they too could find love.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Not when your couch is really far from your tv/entertainment center/consoles. Unless you like having a dozen controller cables stretched across your living room.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Based on the demo that is up on marketplace, it feels, plays, and sounds just like San Andreas with better visuals. I guess for me, if I were to be in the mood for mindless mayhem and slaughter, I'd just go play San Andreas, which I already own, instead of buying a new game. Though it is kind of cool that you can customize your player character's appearance, so you can play as a skinny white punk if you wanted, instead of being stuck as someone you can't visually relate to.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

A price break is unlikely since the new model 360 is supposedly on its way soon (the one with the 120 gig HDD, HDMI, and cooler running processors). Maybe you could get one of the current model 360s at a reduced price once the new model is released, but then you'd be missing out on the marginal improvements. I'm not sure how they're going to handle the situation though.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm definitely more interested in Mass Effect than Lame-O 3. I'll let everyone else complain about the rampant idiocy that will no doubt be present in the multiplayer, while I'm playing something that actually provides an enjoyable experience for me.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The white xbox, as you so eloquently put it, will output at 1080p. This feature was provided through a firmware update. But yes, you are correct in that it does not have HDMI output.

FELIPE NO

As I understand it, component will do 1080p, but it is simply a matter of having a TV whose component inputs allow 1080p. I, for one, have a Sony KDL-40XBR2, which is capable of displaying 1080p, but only through the HDMI inputs; its component inputs max at 1080i.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Why don't you just take the hard drive off before you send it in?

You have to buy the $180 US HD-DVD player add-on if you want to watch HD-DVDs.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

50% of the games on the 360* are FPS. This is a fact that you simply cannot argue.

*only includes titles from Bungie and Turn 10

Hey wait, multiplatform games don't count as games on a console?

Did you even click on the link Skills provided? Maybe if you had, and then actually read what it had to say, you would have seen that the guy provided you with the data he used for his statistical analysis, and in several different file formats. Here is a link to the PDF, for example.

I don't see why it's so hard to simply not close the tray, unless you're worried about someone running into your console while the tray is open.

It's not Microsoft's fault that your cat is a Jack Thompson follower.

Don't worry, I have hardly seen any of the GFF people on my list playing CoD4 lately, and we almost never play AC6 {just like the rest of earth apparently, since it seems next to impossible to find a match on it when you're by yourself}.

So you're not really missing out on anything.

How ya doing, buddy?

It is actually closer to 2~3 weeks from the date that it gets shipped back to them, if you are in the US.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

No, it is for actual problems other than RRoD. Like maybe 16 months from now your optical drive passes away. That would be fixed under the extended warranty.

Group voice chat finally. Even though it is only up to four participants, that is still something that was a long time coming.

Most amazing jew boots

I don't know, some people we know like to spam invites even when they know the person they are inviting don't even have the game in question.

Man, they are really hurting for hard drive space on their servers. Those 30 or so XBLA titles taking up those five total gigs of hard drive space simply have to go. I think I could donate them a couple 32 gig SCSI drives if they are hurting that bad.

Since you said any type of game is acceptable, I will go ahead and suggest Rock Band. It is four players local, and fun, assuming someone is willing and able to sing, and someone is able to play drums.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Try clearing your hard drive cache I guess.

With the Xbox 360 Hard Drive attached to the console, follow these steps:
a. Locate the System section of the Xbox 360 Dashboard.
b. Select Memory, select Hard Drive, and then press Y to view the device options screen.
c. On the Xbox 360 Controller, press the X button, press the X button again, press the left bumper, press the right bumper, press the X button, and then press the X button again.
d. You will be prompted to confirm system maintenance, select Yes by pressing A.

I've had two die on me. It isn't the end of the world, since Microsoft fixed them both quickly, and for free.

FELIPE NO

It did not want to go back into its original box. It will never go back into its original box.

This is a concept that I can get behind. This is why I always play as a female character in any game in which I have a choice. Kotor, Mass Effect, Fable2, Oblivion for example. Hell, even in Goldeneye I played as Xenia.

You do this too? I thought I was the only one

I guess I will make an avatard next time I get a chance to turn on my Xbox.
