I'm not too sure if this topic has surfaced here or not, so what the hell- I'm making a new thread....
Anybody here got an Xbox Live Gold Account? Want to share your gamertag?
Ours is JaegerBox. ( My Wife and I )
I would love to play some kick ass retro Arcade stuff multiplayer with my Turbo Brothers and Sisters!
-
Mine is Puldura but I rarely turn on my Xbox360 and I refuse to pay for a Gold account so I only have Silver. I mostly play PS3 where online is free and seems to work just as well... actually better since it is free! PSN name is Redifer.

Will do. It's high time I played some Rez HD anyway.

Mine is SuperDeadite just like here. I mainly play The IdolM@ster and Raiden Fighters. Both of which are JP only though.

I do not have an Xbox live account yet. :(

I know the feeling dude, I hope to pull aside a few minutes tomorrow to power up the 360. Does anyone else cross their fingers when they do that? I do cause I'm worried that the RROD will get me!! hahah
-
Black Tiger, you play PSU!?
My wife is HUGE into that game, she just made me a character..
We should set some time to play one of these days!!

Yup. A friend of mine just bought a RROD 360 on Kijiji a few weeks ago, but managed to fix her up right good like. Works like a charm now. But yeah, it's pretty sketchy. They don't make 'em like they used to...oh wait...Duo...sound capacitors...hmmm....
-
Yeah, well, the Duos didn't fail out of the box.
I think future generations of gamers will have a hard time collecting for the 360, since so many will fail.

I actually never really thought about retro gamers wanting to collect for the 360. But yeah, anyone wanting to get into 360 gaming in 2022 better be willing to put money into them.

I think someone told me here that some Duos actually do come out of the box with the sound issue already active. Even if true, it's obviously not nearly to the extent of 360s coming out the box with the RROD. Microsoft really pisses me off. lol. They can get some things bang on, like Xbox Live, but why do they always release things with lots of bugs and function issues, i.e. Xbox 360, Windows Vista. Hell, even the original Xbox had problems with the Thomas DVD drives that were present on their first production run. My Xbox actually has a Thomas DVD drive. :( It's not as bad as some, but when I put in Burnout Revenge the drive will sometimes have a hard time reading the disc and I'll get that dreaded "Disc Read Error" message. At some point I'll probably get one of the more reliable Samsung DVD drives and replace the crappy Thomas. I also have a really noisy fan that makes a god awful sound when I first power up my Xbox. Apparantly, Microsoft put these fans on the first production run, but eventually removed them. Fortunately, the sound is otherwise harmless and goes away after about 10 or 15 seconds.
Here's a link for anyone with an Xbox and wants to know what DVD drive they have:
Thomas is teh suck, Phillips is pretty good, and Samsung is the best.

add me if ya wanna Digichan2006
Just expect your 360 to fail even if u buy it brand new.. That way if it DOES break down at least you wont be dissappointed.. Well anyway mine broke down twice during the first year although I didnt get any RROD on both those times.. but anyway the nice heat pipe they added means that on days when the machine is on for 14+ hours it hardly ever goes over 38 celcius.
There are a few ppl I know that still have theirs since 2005 launch and still running
and like the Wii marketplace there are some great games up there to download/buy/try :P

From what I've read, the extra two weeks don't have any medals, exp bonus, reduced enemy hp, boosted rare drop rates or anything other than allowing you to simply play through those maps again.
They're basically working over players once again by delaying the rewards. The only good thing about the extension is that we should be getting a grinding bonus as our next reward.

this is necroposting and is frowned upon in our Turbo Loving society.
I just got another 360- recovered my gamertag- JaegerBox.
So if you've put your gamertag in this thread I may have 'Re' added you to my list.
Let me know if anyone else here is gaming some retro goodness on the old white box of death!

Is anyone on here "DocHoliday" on PSN? I am trying to figure out who that is, as he is one of my best friends ever on the PS3. I wish people would use their forum names.
