Hmmmm thats odd. I know people here in the US who downloaded copies of the Japanese Burnout. They did the same thing you did. Did you change your profile phone number? Make the area code 414....

It's really, really odd. I know this can be a noobish question, but in the phone number thing, you can put 14 numbers... It's the 3-digit-code + 11 numbers? Or what?

List of ma games:

 

GRAW 2

Oblivion

Mass Effect

BioShock

Halo 3

Dead Rising

Command and Conquer 3

Call of Duty 2

GTA IV

The Orange Box

Forza 2

Madden '08

NCAA '07

Everybody says the 360 sucks because it's DVD has only 9GB of space and that the Blu-Ray has 25GB. So, how the heck did they fit 21GB-total-content in it? And the best of all, flawlessly. Seriously, when I downloaded The Orange Box on the PC, TF2 and EP2 were 14GB. Just them... Adding everyone, it summed up to about 21GB. How the heck do they manage to do that?

 

Also, my small list of games and demos:

The Orange Box, Forza 2, Marvel Ultimate Alliance,

Hexic HD, Undertow,

Army of Two Demo, Bunout Paradise Demo, Kane & Lynch Demo, Test Drive Unlimited Demo, Skate Demo, Ace Combat 6 Demo, Turok Demo, Guitar Hero 3 Demo.

Gah, well woke up this morning and the 360 wouldnt work, yet had no RRoD, or no red lights whats so ever. Even the controllers wouldnt kick in. So took it back to argos and exchanged as it was still under their 30 days exchange. Got the new one home and same prob, checked all the AV inputs and lo and behold it worked.

 

Turns out there was no problem, so thats all the saves and that gone as Argos wouldnt do a hard drive exchange.

damn thats wack, you should have kept it and gotten a arcade or something....Idk lol.

[Andrew]

Aye, we asked the sales rep who said that they don't swap them. I was regretting not leaving out the HDD now... oh well.

[Freakorama]

I'm going to go for Dead Rising's 7 day survivor Achievement.

Wish me luck!

[*MURDOC*]

@Vinny, arent single-layer DVDs 9gb?

 

I would guess they used a higher-capacity DVD.

[kevin2006rhs]

Single Layer is 4.7GB

Dual Layer is 8.5GB

It actually wouldn't be too hard if you never left the security room and just left the Xbox on for 10 or so hours while you do something else.

[ryuclan]

Well maybe you could have traded in your xbox without the HDD and said it was the core one, then got another core one back. Anyway it is supid that they don't allow you to keep the damn thing. Isn't your profile and stuff still on there?

You lose a health block every 100 seconds, and food isn't unlimited, theres people and zombies trying to kill you

and you can't save until you die,

 

7 days = 14 hours real time,

 

I'm on day four right now.

[darthYENIK]

Dead Rising is one of those games that really feels like a next gen game. I think it's just the level of interaction.

 

Anyway. I got my box to ship my 360 to the repair center. I really hope it doesn't take too long to get it back. The only game console I have is Gamecube. I guess I'm going to have to break out the Ocarina of Time.

[Freakorama]

 

I'm so close, my eyes are burning.

I thought you could get the achievement on story mode too?

How much does Dead Rising cost in stores? I downloaded the demo off of the XBL Marketplace yesterday, awesome game.

[EasyTiger]

Obvlivionz: you can pick it up off amazon (new) for £15 onwards.

[darthYENIK]

Yeah, not expensive. I think it's a platinum hit, so like $20-$30.

[Freakorama]

You can only get 3 day survivor if playing though the story.

[OGFlak]

Hello thread, I'm getting a 360 this summer and I'm trying to come up with a list of games to get. So far I'm planning on

 

• GTAIV (Of course)
• Halo 3
• Bioshock
• Gears of War
• Dead Rising (maybe)
• Crackdown

Anything else I'm forgetting? I was thinking about Mass Effect but I already have KOTOR and I'm not nearly close to done before I go running off into another BioWare game.

[lt_yao]

I suggest loose the Halo 3, it isn't a good game in my opinion.

[EasyTiger]

Scrap Halo3 and replace it with CoD4, you won't regret it.

[baptiste]

Scrap Halo3 and replace it with CoD4, you won't regret it.

Yeah, il just second this guys opinion. Halo 3 will only be better than CoD4 if you're a Halo fan and want it for the storyline.

[Seddo]

Halo 3 was only good whilst playing on Legendary with 3 other mates in one session, going all the way through without stopping .

 

I was playing it on my own beforehand and got to the end of level 3 and i started to get bored. Online wasn't much cop either, nothing special in numerous people jumping up and down every f*cking second of the game, go for Call of Duty 4 instead just as ET and Bap mentioned.

[OGFlak]

I'll check out COD4 too as well, I'm getting Halo 3 to at least finish the story and play it online with my friends.

Does anyone know if an XBL gold membership covers the console or wether you have to buy a new subscription everytime you make a new gamertag and want to use it?
