2. PICK UP ONE OF THOSE NYKO INTERCOOLERS. Those don't help, I had one and used it with my first 360 and that one died. I don't even use it on my new one. I thought MS said they would fix all the early 360s for free because of the large percentage of people have problems. Is this false or do you al...

Fast Hack'em? Heh, it is funny you should mention that, because I know Mike J. Henry. He was originally known as the "Bandit Boy" back and the day, and went on to write "Fast Hack'em". I used to belong to this small computer club that would meet in this dudes basement (I think there were 9 of us), ...

Well, when I get mine back I'm going to do two things immediately. 1. BUY THE 2 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY. 2. PICK UP ONE OF THOSE NYKO INTERCOOLERS. I've been checking out the forums over on Xbox.com and the number of people having serious yet similar issues since 10/31, the date of the Doomsday updat...

Time To Admit Defeat...

I tried. Really really tried. But alas, it's time to admit defeat. I have been plagued by the dreaded Red Rings Of Death. Just got off the phone with Xbox Support. Went through the whole schpeel. Bottom line, My 360 is McAllen, Texas bound for "repair" and I'm exactly $139.90 poorer over a problem t...

UUUGGGHHHHH!!!!! Well, I seem to have fixed my RROD issue. Now I'm experiencing what everyone else is reporting. Unending incredibly frustrating freezing. Sometimes, it freezes at boot, other times it freezes at the dashboard and sometimes during a game. So far, from what I've been reading, Microsof...

360 & Window Medial Player 11 -

Now this is just plain cool. I just upgraded to Windows Media Player 11. With this, you now have the ability to stream content (video content) from a PC down to your 360! I've got a machine upstairs running XP SP2 with WMP11. From downstairs, I can stream video (The Ant And The Aardvark cartoons tuc...

Hmmmmm... Spoke too soon. I just got the RROD. It launches the Xbox splash screen and freezes. 5 seconds later, RROD. But so far I seem to have defeated it. It appears that I am getting the RROD if I leave a game in the drive. Once I take it out, everything is fine. Hey Raz, do you remember if you h...

360 Boot Issues?

Anyone else experience wierd booting after recieving the latest update? For some strange reason, my 360 will freeze at the Xbox logo when booting. I usually have to reboot about 3 times before it will go through a successful boot up. Raz, this isn't something you experienced prior to the RROD was it...

I might rent this one just to check out. For some reason, I've never really gotten into the whole SC thing. I guess it's because of the whole stealthy nature of the game. If I have all of these cool guns and toys, I WANT TO USE THEM!! I might be a bit hastey on jusging this title so I'll give it a s...

NICE!!!!! That's a great slice of 80's goodness, the C64, the Max Headroom and the ever-present All-In-One stereo deck! I see you even got yourself hooked up with the Epyx 500XJ Joysticks! Of all the years that I gamed on my 64, I've just GOT to have some old pics of my rig. Going to have to go digg...

I'll throw my 2 cents in - The 360 wireless controllers are nothing short of spectacular. I too have had varying degrees of frustration with wireless controllers in the past but the Xbox firmly put those to bed. I can honestly say that I have yet to have any issues as far as responsiveness or lag wi...

REALLY??? Gonna have to find that! I dying to join a club! TDU is one of those seriously underrated games. I can only imagine what the next version of Test Drive will bring us. I like the fact that they picked an actual place to stage the game in. Using the existing engine and adding new cities is d...

I love Impossible Mission!! My latest 64 addiction is Raid on Bungling Bay.

Hey Brass, I envy your youth. It makes me feel so old when the term "64" references the Nintendo!! LONG LIVE COMMODORE!!
