Only two questions, what the crap guys? =o

Here's a bonus question for you, then: is it possible to hook my 360 up to my TV using a VGA cable and a VGA-to-DVI adapter, in order to upscale DVDs to the native resolution of my TV (1080i)? My TV does not have a VGA in, or an HDMI in for that matter, but it does have a DVI in. Thanks to anyone who can advise.

Neuromancer: don't quote me on this, but if you have a 360 with HDMI, I think you can use a HDMI-DVI cable, though you would need to get your sound elsewhere (since DVI doesn't carry sound signals). If your 360 doesn't have HDMI, you're going to have to go a different route. "DVI to VGA" adapters generally just pull the analog signal out of a DVI-I or DVI-A hookup (confused? look at the WP article on DVI) and put it on the correct pins for a D-sub ("VGA") connector. You would need some kind of box that transforms your analog VGA-cable signal into a digital signal that works on your TV's DVI input -- and good luck with that. You're more likely to find a VGA to Component converter (at least they're both analog to begin with), but even that would probably be more trouble than it's worth.

You *could* just do what I did -- buy a PS3 (they're not too expensive used, if you get a 20GB model), which upscales DVDs over every available output. Plus, you can't wind up stuck with one that doesn't support HDMI, like my 360...

I "asked" you guys, via tips, to run a poll on whether people would consider purchasing Xbox Originals they had achievements.

I know we had a similar poll but I want one that focuses specifically on achievements.

the answers-

1) I already buy them even though they lack achievements
2) I would buy them if they had achievements
3) I still wouldn't buy them

Thanks guys. I am going to probably get R6V2, if anyone I knows has it too. I already own Halo and CoD4, so...

yeah you can, cause the only way to upscale dvds is through HDMI or VGA, and it wont matter if you convert it to DVI

You can't have a home run every time at bat! Short and sweet isn't always bad either.

Now, why didn't Terrence weigh in on the game choice? Is that because there IS NO Terrence?!?

I was looking at footage of Vegas and the graphics look like PS2? Anyone know anything about this?

Which ranking system do you guys like better, COD4 or Halo 3? I enjoy COD 4 better because it rewards you for playing.

thanks

Vegas graphics != PS2 graphics (!= means doesn't equal, i'm being a loser)

I've just broke my 360 drive by dropping something heavy on the disc tray when it was open and now the motor goes up premature so tray wont close, can it be fixed without taking my 360 apart or will I have to get it a coffin with an extra sticky out bit?

If I already asked you a question a couple weeks ago and you didn't use it, should I just send it to you again?

I FIXED IT!

hurrah

I had to push a bit of plastic in the drive so that it wasn't connected to a cog until it was pushed in further, mostly scary mucking about inside my 360, but it seems to work without any side effects so woo!

Xeno,

Good idea for a poll. Here's my answer:

1. I already buy them w/o the achievements.

I reasked my question this time. I did send it earlier but hey ho.
Its regarding getting a repair done to an out of Warranty 360. MS ain't interested so I'm thinking either trying to find a UK based repair center or going to see what Uncle Sony has up his sleave.

Here's my question. Is there a 360 version which is not showing any signs of failure or put another way is there a version that does not fail?

I'll make sure to send in a question next (this) week! But I assume that you are going to have a barrage of questions now that you asked for them! :-p

hell, you could have answered my unanswered question from over a month ago...

although I suppose you dump that inbox weekly.

still want to know why all my zune subscriptions songs don't work over my internal network to my 360, or when my zune is connected directly to the 360. (different ones from each method, which just adds to the confusion).

same MSN ID attached to both my XBL and Zunepass, hell, same tag for that matter...

they share my points, why can't they share my songs?

(of course Xbox says it's zune, and zune says it's Xbox)

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is a terrible game and I don't understand why it's getting great reviews. It is an ugly, buggy, unfun piece of crap.

Idea: A+
Execution: D-

Honestly, I wanted to like it, but it's frustratingly bad.
