I love Tiger '07 too - except for the fact that it won't let me play it online anymore.... Legacy is a tad disappointing - but I'm still cracking on with it now and again - and I haven't had any problems with Raw v Smackdown.

In other news - Game online now has HD DVD players in again, and mine's expected by the end of the week! Woohoo!

Only 3 more weeks until GRAW 2 thumbs-up.gif


I'm currently play Tiger Woods '07. I have a slight glitch on mine though and was wondering if you had the same problem.

You have to acheive certain things in order to unlock clothes/clubs etc. One of the clubs I want/need says I need to acheive 100% of approach skill in order to unlock. Well I've got 100% of approch skill (infact it's at 106% with modifiers) and yet it still won't unlock?!?!?!

I though GRAW 2 wasn't out until the summer. Oh well, I'll be getting that next month then.

Not really noticed that.... I have two items that still haven't unlocked. One is the club you get for reaching the 100% complete mark on the game, and another one is a shirt that according to the official x-box 360 forums is glitched and simply won't unlock. Apparently though the good news is that this doesn't effect the game-complete percentage.....

I only need four trophy balls now. I've done 44 out of the required 50 tournaments for one - I only have two more courses to get all of my par five eagles on. Then the 100% complete ball and the collect every trophy ball ball should complete my set!

I've not got that far on it yet. I'm more of a casual player. I play it when I'm bored of my other games.

I remember playing Tiger Woods 05 on the Xbox and how easy it was to get a hole in one. I've still not got one on 07 yet, but I've been close.

Do you know if your able wear the Arsenal shirt the dude from Milton Keynes wears? I've not seen it in the Pro Shop so I'm guessing the answers no.

You need to press and hold the little white button on both the controller & the 360. Both lights will flash for about 5 seconds and then it will connect.
Loki
If that doesn't work, you can try (from the controller being off) holding down that little white button on the pad and turning the pad on with it held down. That seems to do a fuller scan.

To be honest though, my 2nd controller never remembers it's paired with my 360, it's rubbish.

I got it on launch date and still playing it now and again. Single player has very little replayable value (As you might expect) but multiplayer more than makes up for it, especially when you get 12 v 12 games with no lag. I'd give it 79% biggrin.gif

Blockbusters have a good deal on at the moment.

If you trade in a chart game, you get a brand new chart game for £15.

Chart games include:

Fifa 07, Saints Row, Gears of War, Call of Duty 3, Rainbow 6, Tiger Woods 07, Smackdown v's Raw 07 and a couple of others that escape me.

I'm taking in Gears of War & Tiger Woods and getting GRAW II & Crackdown.

Now a couple of you have had Crackdown for a while, who's it cracking up <=== See what I did their?

Yes it is considering they also take into account that if the game you're taking in is worth more as an exchange and actually brings the price of the game you want down even more.

For example, I took back Gears of War Special Edition & Tiger Woods 07 and managed to get GRAW 2 & Crackdown for £24.

Both of these games are priced at £37.99, so I got £25.99 exchange rate for each of the games I took back.

If I had gone to CEX, GRAW 2 is priced at £38 & Crackdown at £35. The exchange rate for Gears of War is £24 & Tiger Woods £18. So the games would have cost me £30.

That might only be a £6 saving, but the games at CEX are used, I got them brand new.

So their!

The original TMNT arcade game from 1989 is now availible for download on Live market place.
I had a quick blast after playing the excellent GOW - I loved TMNT in the day but I came to the conclusion that memories are often rose tinted.
Dai
As far as Im aware, those "New 360" rumours are just that, rumours. Theres been no official confirmation at all about it. Therefore, its highly unlikely that an unannounced new version will be released in a matter of weeks.


Im probably going to buy a 360 in the next few weeks. I havent seen any good deals to counter the PS3 release, though, which I find suprising.

This will probably be a stupid question...BUT...if you don't have a HD TV, do you not really notice a great difference over say ps2 or xbox graphics?

The difference is noticable. But I've not played on a HDTV yet so I don't know how much different it would be from my TV. My TV isn't shit, I get a crisp picture from my games and DVD's, but I know it's nowhere near HD quality.

got a question i wanna get a VGA cable so i can play the xbox in HD on my pc monitor but i don't know what wire to get, should i pick up the official one or go for one of the cheaper ones like on here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/xBox-360-HD-VGA-AV-C...1QQcmdZViewItem
[nothing]
Okay, so it seems that the Elite is now official (although it was in little doubt) for a UK price of £349 (against a converted dollar price of around £270). Surely this is a big mistake. I know few people as yet care about the next generation movie formats (HD-DVD/Blu Ray), but for Microsoft to go so close to the PS3 without built in HD-DVD support at this price, this machine looks a whole lot less tempting now.

No new insides either, it uses the same chipset as the Core and Premium, which makes the only difference the black casing (which wouldn't match my white HD-DVD drive), the 120gb Hard Drive (which is little use to me, i've gone nowhere near the 20gb limit of the last one, and unless download speeds get better for the UK, I won't be using the HD movie download service by autumn/winter) and the HDMI output, which would be nice, then I wouldn't have to keep swapping component cables over everytime I want to use my Wii.

Grr.
Mitch
They really should have put Wi Fi on the elite model.

The 120GB hard drive has a horrendous price tag in the USA - looks worse value when you can use any brand of hard drive on the PS3.

I'm sorry for asking one of these questions again, I did make a seperate topic but that hasn't had 1 reply.

How do I connect my XBox to my modem for live play?
Please be aware I am a tool when it comes to stuff like this. (Even more so than JTTS)

I have Wanadoo/Orange broadband which is not wireless. I use a Speedtouch USB modem.

The Ethernet cable provided does not fit anywhere aside from the back of the Xbox. Reading some of this thread I understand I can buy a USB/Ethernet converter cable which will then able to to connect it to my PC.

Is this correct?

I hate this stuff. sad.gif

Ive had the red light before what does it mean?

3 red lights basically means hardware failure and it's an extremely common fault.

If it's within it's warranty then take it back and it'll be tested and if the fault is found by staff then the machine will be replaced.

Not sure how it works for the 360, but for the original Xbox, I had a set-up similar to yours, and bought one of these:

http://www.amazon.com/Zoom-4PORT-Router-ga...l/dp/B0009JR3QQ

After setting it up, you put the phone line in this, and use a wire to connect the XBox and the router.



I know you can just use a wire to connect your PC and your Xbox, but not sure of the details. Im guessing THIS would work. Can anyone confirm that this would work? If so, would any additional software need to be downloaded?

The 3 rings of DEATH. (or so they call it)

QUOTE
3 Red Rings?? READ THIS!
what your Xbox360 is trying to tell you when you get the three rings of light. There is a code that will flash if you hold down the "Synch" button (White button near the memory slot) and press the DVD Eject button. You will notice the quadrant of lights illuminate and each time you press the eject button you will get a different code.

It breaks down to this:

All four lights illuminate = 0
One Light = 1
Two Lights = 2
Three Lights = 3

Example:

Turn on your "dead" xbox. Wait for the 3 red lights. Once you get them hold the "Synch" button and the eject button down simultaniously. All four lights flash. (0) Press the eject button again and only one light (1) press again and all four light up (0) press again and two lights (2). Error code is 0102. compare this code to the table below to find out what is wrong with your X360. Is it overheating? Power Cord? Hardware?

The Code I got is 0102 which means the computer does not know the problem as it is not hardware or heating or anything like that. Could be dust, loose solder or static! I use a can of compressed air and my X360 IS BACK!!!!!! I do not know for how long but I played last night for several hours and had not one Hiccup. This after a whole week of the dreaded RINGS OF DEATH!!

OVER HEATING PREVENTION SUGGESTIONS
To try to prevent this problem, use the following precautions:

Do not block any ventilation openings on the Xbox 360 console.
Do not put the Xbox 360 console on a bed, on a sofa, or on any other soft surface that may block ventilation openings.
Do not put the Xbox 360 console in a confined space, such as a bookcase, a rack, or a stereo cabinet, unless the space is well-ventilated.
Do not put the Xbox 360 console near any heat source, such as a radiator, a heat register, a stove, or an amplifier.

Big thanks to a friend for the info

Good Luck!!

ive only ever had red lights once but luckily it was only a loose power cable. I have a fan attatched to the back of my 360 which the power cable has to go through into the xbox so now and again it needs a wiggle.

Getting right into the swing of things (ho hum!) with Brian Lara 2007 at the moment, never touched this since the good old Mega Drive days and time has been kind. Sensible Soccer style typos to get by them missing the official licenses for players from the ICC (i am guessing EA trumped them for it) and generally all round good fun. Hard as fuck to master but not yet infuriating, spin bowling is a fucking charm and proving a nice challenge.

Anyone else on it?
