The Old XBOX Megathread

[King Ellis]

FUCK YEAH

I got the final smash! All that for only 20 points.

[Ruki]

I don't think 400 smashes is worth 20 points.

Fuck all games with insane amount of collecting (GTA and the birds? Fuck you)....Fallout was ok, because it was a small number that is manageable.

[Cactus Drags]

I wouldn't mind so much if there was some sort of checklist. I know that sort of defeats the point of going out searching, but if they're going to mkae me search blind, there shouldn't be so fucking many of them.

[King Ellis]

Are you referring to GTA or Burnout there? Burnout at least does narrow it a little by listing how many you have in each area but still, White Mountain stretches from the entire left third of the map to the top of the middle third above that big lake thing so it's still a lot of area to look around.

[Sick N Twisted]

So, I got some questions.

1) Achievements are stored to my hard drive, correct?

2) Are the hard drives multi-regional? I'm going to be moving to Canada, so want to know whether I can take my 360 hard drive to use on an Xbox over there.

[King Ellis]

1) I think achievements would be tied to your profile which is on the hard drive.

2) I'm pretty sure all hardware accesories are region free.

I'm going through the RROD return service from Microsoft and just received my UPS returns label through the e-mail, my only problem is I don't have any box/packaging for the Xbox and I guess Microsoft doesn't do the whole coffin thing any more:(.

What did everybody here use when it came to shipping to MS? Where can I buy a box that would fit an Xbox, that also offers protection during delivery?

[Slogger]

You should be able to buy different size boxes at the post office and doesn't Xbox's come with some kind of foam supports?

[King Ellis]

You can always shove a load of torn up newspaper into the box for some support. That or pick up some bubble wrap or those little polysteirine things. Though really, there is a chance they will send you a new Xbox anyway so it wouldn't matter if anything happened to yours enroute.

[Ruki]

1) I think achievements would be tied to your profile which is on the hard drive.

2) I'm pretty sure all hardware accesories are region free.

Isn't achievements and stuff stored online? Since you can download your profile onto another Xbox.

[King Ellis]

Yes but I don't think the online one has your achievements that you acquire offline so if you download it again they get wiped.

[Ruki]

This is true. Just make sure you go online before you move

[zero]

Speaking of which, has anyone transferred data from one hard drive to another? Whenever I get a job (lol), I'm probably going to pick up the 120gb hard drive since I'm almost out of space, but I don't know anyone that's ever used the transfer cable.

[Slogger]

I did, It's quite simple really, Just make sure you have something to do while it transfers.

[Toe]

Does anyone want to play some Left 4 Dead or CoD WaW after 11?

[RoyWill Rumble]

Yo. I'd probably be up for some L4D. I just have to remember, basically...

[Ruki]

It's like....in 40 minutes.

[Toe]

L4D time!

In order to celebrate Super Bowl XLIII, Call of Duty: World at War players will receive Double-XP this weekend. In addition, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 users will receive two new playlists to wage war in: Team Tactical (4v4) and Mercenary TDM (no parties allowed). This special offer beings today and will continue through Super Bowl Sunday.

[King Ellis]

Yes, Superbowl...Call of Duty, I can see the similarities.
