Call MS and try to get it fixed. If nobody registered it before, you may be in luck.

 

If they refuse (perhaps on the grounds that you aren't the original purchaser, which they mighty discover if it was registered to a previous owner), or you don't want to go that route--how did you pay? If it's PayPal they have buyer protection policies that should get you a refund back on it. It's a DOA system, after all.

I got it through Paypal.

 

I'm going to give the seller until tomorrow morning to get back to me...I've sent him two messages telling the seller to contact me effective immediately.

 

If I don't hear back, bad feedback, and I'll go through whatever methods I have to.

Played the Conan demo.

 

"God of War clone" kind of oversimplifies it...

 

But let's see--a horizontal and vertical strike (called "light" and "heavy" here, but they still are H and V...), a block, jump, and throw button, using right analog to roll, context-sensitive button commands for counters and interacting with objects (at the very least), orbs collected from defeated enemies (green to restore energy, red ones for upgrading abilities). Oh, and a zoomed-out, uncontrollable 3rd person view. Feels sluggish compared to the real deal, though.

See, I was calling it a more Ninja Gaiden Clone. Of course I have been Ninja Gaiden recently so I guess that would account for that.

 

It definately feels sluggish though, but can be kinda fun.

I got in contact with the seller over Ebay...Here's what I sent him:

 

"Here is the exact sequence of events.

 

I received the Xbox 360. I hooked it up, and attempted to play Halo. It got to the title screen, and then locked up. I rebooted the system, and was able to play for a period of time. When I was attempting to set up Live, the screen went black with no response. I rebooted and tried again only for it to go black again. This happened several times until finally, instead of going black, the screen was checkered.

 

I waited a period of time, and restarted the console...this time I received the "red ring of death", which indicates a hardware failure.

 

Now it gets a bit weirder.

 

I waited a few hours more, and tried it again...this time it completely allowed me to boot. I was able to play a game for a period of time, before it froze. I waited a little longer, tried again, and since the 360 has been running flawlessly.

 

I am baffled by this, but I have a feeling it won't last. I've downloaded updates, tried different games. Please give imput."

 

Like I said, I am BAFFLED, because since late last night, but Xbox has run 100% flawlessly. I have a feeling that it's just being kind before it dies off, but a part of me is hoping. I DID turn the Xbox on it's side standing up after a suggestion from a friend, and since then it's worked good. So...I really don't know.

 

I DO know I'm getting really fucking attached to this goddamn machine though. It's so AWESOME. :(

So, apparently the xbox Elites have fucked HDs and that's why they're not being shipped around - at least in the UK. Most stores have been out of stock for 3 weeks now. Apparently the HD's aren't working fully and stop people from playing games such as Blue Dragon and Halo3.

So my roommate has a 360.

 

(yay)

 

But I have a question:

 

I made a new gamer tag just for playing around offline, I didn't "associate" it with online stuff.

 

If I want to take that name online and play Gears (the only game he currently has) do I have to buy my own XBLG subscription??

Or you could just play on his account. My roommate just got one too, and that's what I do. You can play together on Live as well, but you'll just be a guest of his when you're on simultaneously.

Also, keep in mind that many games do not allow guests online.

If there is anyone lookin for a 360 they are bundling Forza Motorsport 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance and it will still be 349.99, I'll pick that deal up and sell those games and trade them in for Dead Rising or put it towards somethin else

I might consider that. When is it going to be available?

I picked up the bundle yesterday at Target. Made me happy.

 

As a new 360 owner, I have a question about the streaming media. What video codecs can I actually play? It seems like I have more options when I use the Media Center Extender functionality, as opposed to just streaming video using Windows Media Player's sharing option. It looks like AVI's (divx) are out. Can I only do .WMV?

 

Edit: Got answers to my question. Only .wmv, .mp4, .m4v, .mov, amd mpeg2 through media center extender. DivX is NOT supported.
