Ok I went and finally ordered a Via sata card with the proper chipset, and a stack of Verbatims. Something just dawned on me though, which I had totally forgotten for some reason - the 360 will only play games from it's own region, am I right? I know that there are a handful of games that are region free, like Ironman. Have these been made region free or were they produced like that? It's just so I know before I start sucking down 360 games from newsgroups

That's what happened to mine. After years of working ok it refused to work unless in 1st place. Even now I sometimes have to use the 'Boot from' menu when the PC starts up, usually F11/F12, and specify the drive or it refuses to boot into Windows.

Make sure the drive is set to first in the list. My old ATA drive won't boot if I have it 2nd, 3rd. It only boots if it's in first place. Also, did you try fixboot? Any time I have had similar problems fixboot has worked when fixmbr didn't.

Console games have roughly cost the same as far back as I can remember, starting with the NES/Master System through the SNES/Megadrive, Saturn/PSX etc. Back in the SNES days games were relatively easy to develop. No cut scenes/FMV, voice acting, online considerations. A game could be knocked out in a few months. But very few developers deliberately developed crap games. Making a 8/10, 9/10 game is a skill, it's not like time invested == amazing game. Developers took advantages of licences then, and they still do now. Making average, pretty looking licensed games which they know will still sell because of the brand attached, rather than the gameplay. In fact, it was almost always a red flag when a licensed game was released. If you bought it, 9 times out of 10 it was because you had some attachment to the license, not because you knew you were getting a Mario Kart or Sonic 2.

See my post on page one on how to update those addons yourself. It's easy, besides, they might never be updated or it could be a while!

Well pretty dull match for the most part. Russia definitely deserved the win. Arshavin was impressive again. He was a target for my team Everton before the Euros started, I guess we can write off him coming to us now, he'll be wanted by a lot of top teams

Builder's Block and Intelligent Qube on PCSXbox. Been trying out a load of new puzzle games, most of the better ones seem to be PSX exclusives. Also Devil's Dice and Battle Balls, via ePSXe as they won't work on XBox.

Lol. I don't know what that means, but it doesn't sound very nice Damn I tried that 32X game.. not good I do like the arcade game from 1991, but then my local arcade had it so I'm probably being biased/nostalgic.

It looks like he has finally come out and stated he wants to move to Madrid - BBC Sport Tonight's match should be good. The Dutch have been great to watch so far

I don't know if he has anything to do with this, but Bush has received many millions of campaign donations from a lot of the major TV/Studio Networks like Disney, Fox, Time Warner, CBS, NBC and Viacom, amongst others. Why wouldn't he profit from other industries?

Spiderman 2 is much better, and Ultimate Spiderman too. Anyway, there's been a few good Spiderman games on GB, GBA, SNES, and Arcade. There existed a world before 2002, seriously

I just got my Xbox back up and running finally. If I have to finish testing every single game myself then I'll do it. How this hasn't been finished yet is hard to believe.

Down memory lane with Fletch and Fletch Lives. Good stuff. I hear there is another sequel in the works too.

Glad you got it working, without the extra holes.

This one covers a lot of ground.

Please, give me some credit. I have been here long enough not to get fed that 'average guy' line. I was just winding you up anyway. It's all good

I've known people to admit to a lot of things on forums, I wouldn't be surprised at all. Maybe you're a member? Maybe you are a member? Reason as to why you keep asking if someone else is a member, maybe you are in desperate hopes of meeting a fellow NAMBLA? Indeed, maybe we have both been members for a long time and not realised it until now. It'll be our little secret. Your reputation as a 'ladies man' shall remain untarnished

Yep, as long as you have it set up properly. Internet Connection Sharing should do everything for you automatically.

Yes you can share your connection with your 360 over ethernet using ICS. If you want to stream movies/music over the network then you will need either Windows Media Connect, Zune, or WMP11.

It would need to be repeated exposure over a considerable amount of time. Like it says, people who work on the assembly lines who are in almost constant contact with parts. I'm going to open mine probably next week, once I get a proper SATA card. If anything goes wrong I'll leave you the 360 and all my blank Verbatims in my will

He plays well in the big games in the Premier league. Hell, Man Utd could get 5 years out of him and still sell him for a huge sum of money. The owners are billionaires anyway, 'cashing in' isn't that much of a priority, plus they said they wanted to keep him too

You cannot be serious? Have you heard of Google?! Congrats on the thinly veiled rom request btw

Are you a member or something? I did read it properly. I asked a perfectly legitimate question, as it was unclear what the point of the post was. I just thought he was trying to bring the site to our attention for some reason. The point is he didn't say if he was a member or not. He should have stated his intentions, or posed an actual question. As for teck, how did you think people would react when some guy posts direct quotes from, and a link to, a man/boy love site? I know you are defending your friend, but you can see the potential for a misunderstanding.

They face either Croatia or Turkey, in other words they are almost guaranteed to reach the final.
