The Old XBOX Megathread

[Captain Eo]

You were one of the million people banned!

But sorry to hear that, that is pretty shitty. Hopefully Gamestop gives you a new system.

One million banned?

I might actually just keep this one and by a new slick MW 2 console. Maybe I can find someone in my area who can put an emulator of some kind on the one I have since its modded it should be capable of that. Have a SNES/MAME 360 would be pretty awesome.

[Ruki]

Apparently Xbox went around banning modded systems, anywhere between 600, 000 and a million people were banned.

[Captain Eo]

Woo me, having a modded console for 7 months and not knowing it.

If I didn't have the download speed of a 800 pound tortoise I would take advantage of my situation and grab me a copy of Dj Hero, I've been dying to play it, but simply don't have the funds for that whole getup.

[Cactus Drags]

Can't imagine it's any fun without the turntable anyway.

Lol.

I forgot that it's absolutely required.

How are you enjoying it?

[Cactus Drags]

It's really well put together, the mixes are top-notch, the controller's pretty intuitive too. Bloody hard on the later difficulties though. Really need to be familiar with the songs and what's coming up where on the highway. it's almost like you need to read the highway twice, once for the crossfader hand and once for the scratching/tapping hand. It'll come, but it's pretty frustrating for me at the moment, and 5 starring everything on expert looks a long, long way off.

I totally agree with you on the expert difficulty. I don't think I'll ever get more than 2-3 stars on each song outside of Boom Boom Tap which was quite easy to 5 star. The game certainly has a lot of challenge to it.

[Cactus Drags]

Mr Big Stuff is an easy 5 star on expert. And if I ever work out the scratching on expert difficulty, that'll probably be the track I get the 300 streak on as well.

[King Ellis]

As I signed on just now, I had a strong feeling I would have a friend request waiting for me. Sure enough, a 10 gamerscore player with, what else? Smackdown vs RAW 2008.

In other news, i'm gonna kick some ass at 3 on 3 NHL Arcade (WHOOOOSH, BLORP!) . I'm not sure who has it outside of Dragsy.

No idea if you can get them in the upcoming season (19th November) and/or if that season is still free but if it is, we shall answer some questions, amp up and get some achievments.

[Ruki]

Some of those achievements will be a bitch to get: Group Hug, Hair Trigger, Game Show Guru.....

[King Ellis]

Maybe if you're playing with idiots or are an idiot yourself. Myself, Dragsy, Kaney and +1 could have got all of these in the beta, probably.

[Ruki]

....dammit Fitzy!

[King Ellis]

'Which planet do you live on? A- Earth B- The Moon C- Mars D- The Sun'

"Mars "

'The correct answer is A- Earth'

" :/ Oh come on"

"What the hell, Fitzy?!"

"No harm. "

[LL!]

Game Show Guru might be the only one that is a tad difficult in the three Ruki mentioned.

[King Ellis]

The live show questions were always easy on the UK one so i'd imagine it'd be easier there. Not to say 12 isn't possible on extended play.

[Fitzy]

....dammit Fitzy!

There were plenty of times we got correct answers in a row...

[Ruki]

Lies!

And now I am tempted to get NHL 3 vs 3!

[LL!]

Keep wasting money, Ruki! I can't wait till you're poor!

[King Ellis]

Lies!

Cheap and an easy 200? I'd be heavily surprised if you didn't get it!

[Ruki]

Keep wasting money, Ruki! I can't wait till you're poor!

I have a spare 400 points, have been waiting for something to come along that I want.
