Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted April 24, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted April 24, 2009 Here's one for y'all: Â I just got a missed call from a bit of an odd number: Â +263 And then a series of numbers that really don't look like any phone number I've seen. Â Apparently +263 is the international dialling code for Zimbabwe. Other than that I couldn't find anything on my initial search. Â IAnyone know of any particular mobile phone scams that might be responsible? I've never had a phone virus or had my bill jacked up by any dodgy schemes, but I'm aware that it happens and would like to know what to look for just in case. You could see if they have it listed on the "WhoCallsMe" site, JLM. Type the number in. Â Link is below. Â http://whocallsme.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro_y Disco Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 My brother's XBox 360 is completely kaput (and he's voided the warranty by trying to fix it himself). If he buys an Arcade 360, will his old hard drive be compatible with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JLM Posted April 24, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted April 24, 2009 Yup. A lot of people with dead Xboxes are buying Arcade consoles as back-ups. You can unclip the hard drive and put it in any 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Ron Simmons Posted April 24, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted April 24, 2009 I hate the Xbox. Even more than that I hate the PSP. It has great games, but the most painful control system in the history of gaming. My question is, have any of the new versions of the PSP fixed this thum-crippling problem?
