The Old XBOX Megathread

[DavidMarrio]

The new dashboard makes my eyes hurt it's too white. Probably get used to it in a bit along with the more robot like voice chat

[Dan]

Wonderful white wonderful dash.

[King Ellis]

It certainly fits with Dan's 'white is right' policy.

[Cactus Drags]

I like the 2d style over the weird going off into the screen menu system, but there is a little too much white on it.

[LL!]

I find it very pleasing. I enjoy it.

Has Microsoft blocked some kinds of credit cards or something? When I want to pay for some points, I use MBNet, which is kind of like paypal, it's a security measure, that creates a virtual credit card which accesses only the amount of money I indicate from my account. The type of card it creates is a Mastercard, by the way. Since last week that I can't buy anything on X-Box Live because it won't accept the cards, both on the actual console and in its website. Does anyone know anything about this?

[Your Mom]

Anyone know what I need to have to run Kinect if I dont have a new Xbox?

[EddieRuckus]

Because the Kinect sensor's motorized tilt mechanism requires more power than can be supplied via the Xbox 360's USB ports, the Kinect sensor features a proprietary connector combining USB communication with additional power. Redesigned "Xbox 360 S" models include a special AUX port for accommodating the connector, while older models require a special power supply cable (included with the sensor) which splits the connection into separate USB and power connections; power is supplied from the mains by way of an AC adapter.

So, in short, there should be a special power supply cable that came with Kinect, that you'll plug the USB end into a USB port in your older 360, and the other chord should plug into an outlet. If you have the new dashboard update that came out Monday, then you should be good to go once you calibrate everything.

[Your Mom]

Cool. Thank you very much sir

[EWB's Best Poster.]

And apparently a LOT of space. More than the PS move, because your feet need to be seen as well.

[EddieRuckus]

Yeah, it's recommended at 6 feet away from the sensor if single player, and that's assuming you're not tall. If it's multiplayer, then add another 2 feet.

[Benji]

Does the 360 allow debit cards? I want to renew my membership but for some reason everywhere is sold out of them in stores.

[EddieRuckus]

I use my debit card all the time for points, though it is a Visa debit card. Could always try it.

[zero]

Alan Wake DLC can suck my dick. Shit is fucking impossible.

EDIT

Luckily, I found a new strategy: RUN!

[Ruki]

Eddie ruined my gamerscore by calibrating Rock Band 3 on my TV, and the RockBand site not working to link the account.

[Fitzy]

You deserved it for inviting Eddie to go to your house so you could get more achievements.

[Ruki]

Yes, that is the only reason he came here

[Kaney]

Also, the sex.

[King Ellis]

Ruki got Eddie a cake to celebrate his new position on TrueAchievements but Ruki then ate all the cake.

[LL!]

Ruki is a horrible piece of shit. Especially when he doesn't answer his texts.
