GRAW backlash: "1200 MS Points? Kiss my ass"

Jun 23rd 2006 12:52PM (Joystiq Xbox)
They should have offered this DLC in a different way.

Option 1: the full pack, 1200pts

Option 2: multiplayer (non co-op) maps plus the guns and camo, 600pts

Option 3: co-op maps plus the guns and camp 600pts.

Sony's Blu-ray player thrice delayed

The quality of the playback wont be as good, or at least when comparing high end DVD players to those found in games consoles the differences are huge, particularly when viewed on a big TV.

R.I.P. Xbox 360

Bummer, this is one of those things which makes me so very glad to live in the UK. Here all manufacturers have to, by law, give a 12 month warranty.

I went through 16 original Xboxs, never had one longer 2 months before I got constant dirty disc errors, eventually just gave up with MS and chipped my Xbox.

Thankfully my 360 seems to be okay, only problem I had which gave me any concern was the first I booted DoA4 I got told that it wasn't a supported disc. Rebooting the console fixed it and since then other than the software bugs (PGR3's xbox guide bug) I aint had a single problem.

I know exactly how ya feel, hope the repaired console works okay.

The Xbox 360 VGA cable has width issues (Xbox 360 annoyance #016)

Carl: Don't bother, if you are getting a HDTV anyway just use the component lead the premium pack comes with. It's arguably a better picture as well.

If bribery permitted?

If it is I have a substantial quantity of high denominational used notes ;)

Ah you yankydoodles.

Come over here to the UK (and Europe) to try and play games using the VGA cable... it doesn't always work.

INstead we get a lovely message saying that we should go and change our display settings.

This is because the VGA cable automagically sets the Xbox to PAL-60 mode, which a rather huge chunk of backwards compaible games don't support. Halo, Halo 2 (the map download screen) any Tom Clancy game... yeah it's great fucking fun.

Ya know that Outfit demo? Nope didn't work either.

And Microsofts lovely solution: "Go and hook it up to your normal TV when you want to play a game which isn't supported"

Grrr!
