GTA IV freezing up; PS3 fix suggests deleting data, starting over [update]

Apr 29th 2008 5:12PM (Joystiq)
I'm guessing the 360 freeze is the normal "delete your cache" problem that has been happening every single game since the launch of the 360 with games that rely on the cache, which is basically every single game. The first game that really encountered this was Oblivion, which not only caused freezes, it also caused very long load times. Which is the same problem Lost Odyssey was having with 1+ minute load times. Go to the system blade, select memory, select hard drive, press Y, press X, X, left bumper, right bumper, X, X, select yes when prompted to perform maintenance. I thought everyone knew about this by now with it spanning basically every game released.
I haven't actually encountered freezing on 360 GTA4, so I can't verify if it's the exact same issue, but I have a feeling that it is.

Microsoft apologizes for Xbox Live issues with free Undertow download

I already owned Undertow. I called MS tech support and received 800 points refund from a lady who laughed at my jokes and had a cute laugh. If that lady is reading this message, please contact me..

Poll: Have you been affected by the Xbox Live outages?

Jan 2nd 2008 10:00AM (Engadget)
To be completely honest, I gave up two Thursdays ago (12/20/07) when I couldn't log in. Considering there was shoddy service during Thanksgiving, I knew there was no chance in hell that Live was going to survive through Christmas week. I prefer to stick mainly to Live gaming most of the time, but I stuck to playing Literati on yahoo games and some WoW PvP.

Major Nelson speaks about recent Xbox Live issues

It's been up and down since Halo 3 was released. It's probably errors or a massive overload in the video playback system. That's a lot of data going through the servers. If there's a million people playing Halo 3, that's over a TB of information in under 10 minutes. It's all speculation, but I have a feeling that's where the problems lay.

Bungie lays out matchmaking map changes

Dec 27th 2007 9:57PM (Joystiq Xbox)
To be honest, I think Bungie removed the flare and jammer because the average players were figuring out how to use it finally. Before I abandoned Halo 3 for CoD4, I used the Spiker the most outside of the obvious selection of the BR, I see them removing the spiker next.

I joked around about Halo 3 being Halo 2.5 when it was released, but in a few months when they "balance" the rest of the weapons since all the crybabies will be complaining about the Spiker now. Those people won't stop complaining until the spiker is gone now. Congrats Halo matchmaking players, you will soon have Halo 2 with slightly improved graphics, a giant hammer, a bubble shield, a laser, no clan support and a few extra maps for $60. I won't be surprised if they remove the laser and hammer after the Spiker.

Bioshock Tuesday: win an Xbox 360 and a copy of Bioshock

Earthbound for SNES. Easy to play RPG, quirky and interesting story line that makes absolutely no sense from the beginning, and makes even less sense the longer you play. I could go on forever of why I love Earthbound, but this comment will likely never see the light of day.
