XBOX 360 live

[mulder]

I have a brand new xbox 360 and I need some info on how to use it. First, where can I have it modified para makalaro ako ng pirated games, mahal kasi ung original e. Meron ba itong hard drive and how will I know how many GB. Pde ba magdownload ng games and save sa HD then doon iplay? Is the 3RL still true to the units juts manufactured or was it fixed already. Hope to get any feedback. Thanks.

My Xbox 360 is dead for 4 months already. Non-repairable daw. 3RL is 1 out of 3 Xbox 360 problem WORLDWIDE. So it's a hit or missed for your unit.
If you plan to play Xbox Live, Dont modify it. You'll be banned.

From what I've read last year, units produced since June 2006 have had a new motherboard. And since last year, the warranty on 3RL has been extended to 3 years.

Mine has been produced and purchased before 06/06 and I've never had the 3RL. The 360 would've still been working perfectly up to now, in spite of the abuse we give to it, had it not been for my son's mistake of jamming the drive. It now has difficulty reading discs, going through a few disc insert/eject cycles before starting a game. A replacement drive is expensive and troublesome to flash ... I think I'll give the DIY laser calibration a shot first if the problem gets worse.

Harddisk here [SIZE=4]↓[/SIZE]


The TOP side of the console is where the harddisk is mounted. To find your HDD's size, go to the 360 dashboard (by holding down the power button), go to the System menu, scroll down and select Memory, press Y for the harddrive options, and you'll get the device summary.

BTW, you can legally download demo games from Xbox Live and store it on the harddrive.

my local video game store manager told me this too. i guess there's some way for MS to detect this once you go live. don't know if there's a way around it, pero ingat na lang. i suppose you could have a hacked offline box, and another legit box to go on XBL with, pero medyo magastos yata yun

want to get on XBL? all you need is a 360, a credit card (USD 50 per year sa amin) and a broadband connection

Take my word. I got banned in XBox Live cause my console was modified.... My XBox is dead too. Damn you Microsoft!

Parang puro negative feedback ah. Parang bibili na lang ako ulit ng bagong PS2 kasi nasira na nga ung luyma ko kaya nagpabili ako ng XBOX 360 sa US sa kapatid ko. Does these mean na buti pa hwag na ipamodify ung Xbox? Hindi kaya sa modification kaya nag 3RL ang mga unit?

3RL is not because you modified it, something is really wrong with the design of the Xbox 360. If you get banned it dosen't mean you can't play the console anymore di ka na lang makaka Xbox Live so no more downloads and online gaming puro single player games lang...

So what would you suggest? Should I have my unit modified or not? Thanks.

Modified or not, The chances of getting 3RL is 33%. And some stores are now refusing repairs.

If its modified you can't play online games. But you can still play your "ahem" games.

Xbox 360 has great games, but faulty hardware. Microsoft is losing billions with this faulty design. (Extended warranty, repairs, customers service, etc...)

Get a PS3, Its more versatile than Xbox, has more bangs for your money. Unfortunately PS3 cannot be modified.

[tidus1203]

Xbox 360 has better games overall than PS3 by the way.... Yun ang problem naman ng PS3 right now....

[StraightSix]

It's your choice ... Do you enjoy playing with others more or would you rather play with yourself.

Anybody here with a busted Xbox 360 that was manufactured June 2006 or later?

[Jun aka Pekto]

I guess it looks like a PS3 for me. Can several PS3 consoles be hooked together for pc gaming-style network play?

damn I got a free Xbox360 just couple of days ago I haven't opened yet no time. and I checked the games price it's almost $74 for a single game. can I play online with out having buying any game cds. what speed I need to get it online

[Karding]

I heard..
If you want to modify your 360 without getting banned, it is best not to play online until after 3-months of game release. I just dont see the point of not being able to play the game when it's released.

BackSpace, you NEED to have a game CD before you can play online or not.

Yes, XBOX has more games than PS3. Out of those games tho, which ones do you really play?! I made a mistake, I only play COD4, NBA Live, Madden NFL and all of which are available on PS3. Why did I F'n listen to my friend! :seeth: On PS3, there's no fee for playing online and I can use a USB mouse and keyboard for FPS games!!!!! FPS keyboard and mouse adapter for 360 costs $90.00 (yea, I prefer kb and mouse for FPS)

You can play games on the Xbox 360 even without a game disc. There are demo games available on Xbox Live that you can download and play. Demo games usually become available on Live before its release date.

But before you can do that your Xbox 360 must have a harddrive to store the downloaded game. And you must have a Gold membership on Xbox Live before you can play an online multi-player game (demo or full version) otherwise you can only play single-player games off-line. On Silver (free) accounts I think you can only download and chat.

Cool.

Well, that about signals the end of pc gaming for me except for flight sims (Flight Simulator X).

I will be buying a new XBox 360 soon after my first one died February this year. This time I am getting the Falcon unit, much more reliable than the old Xenon units. WIth good games coming out like Gears of War 2 and Fable 2 I finally decided that its time to get one.
