[Definitive] Xbox 360 Thread


Recommended Posts

Because 400 would be what the USD version will cost, due to currency differences. In reality, according to the currency converter, the Xbox 360 Premium package should be $484.

399.99 USD = 484.408 CAD

1 USD = 1.21105 CAD

1 CAD = 0.825730 USD

So if in fact it is 500, we are being ripped off.

I'm pretty sure it'll be 499.99...

We're for sure going to get ripped off

On behalf of all the people in the UK, you are still getting a better deal. :whistle:

I posted this in one of the other topics, but i thought I'd get more answers here. I'm planning on selling around 70 of my xbox/ps2/gamecube games to help pay for my xbox 360...splurging ($1,101 on launch :pinch: .) Should I trade them into Gamestop (they said they give an extra 20% if it goes towards the x360) or should I sell them as a lot on eBay?

i emailed GAME (im in UK too) and they replied saying that as of yet it is too soon to be thinking about bundles (if you mean games included) but im guessing that maybe a week or two after release we will be seeing bundles. Im guessing both packages + one game or something like that. Which is why im waiting till January to get mine...

Not wanting to go through the entire thread to establish my questions just wondering..

I went into work today and checked our computers for the Xbox360. I saw two entries for pre-order, a 1gig model and a 20gig model..

Is this correct as I thought one package did not come with no hard-drive at all ??

You're correct, not the computer. The core package doesn't have a hdd, but the premium (well, not really premium, but th[reali>[/b]b>) xbox 360 comes with the 20GB HDD

September 01, 2005 - Intec today announced its new lineup of accessories and peripherals designed for the Xbox 360. Intec plans to have its entire announced lineup on store shelves on November 4th, which is the date Intec expects to see the Xbox 360 launch.

Taken straight from Intec's press release, the announced lineup includes:

"Perfect for the mobile gamer, Intec's TFT Screens for Xbox 360 come in an 8" model (G8601 / MSRP: $169.99) and a 9.2" model (G8600 / MSRP: $199.99).

"The A/V Selector & Storage unit (G8618 / MSRP: $39.99) for 360 features four inputs in addition to the Xbox 360. This unit comes with two integrated storage compartments to store the remote control, memory cards and various accessories, and includes component video connections for higher quality video demanded by high-definition TVs. The A/V selector also features Internet-ready jacks.

"Next, the Vertical Stand w/ Game & Memory Storage (G8645 / MSRP: $19.99) for 360 allows users to secure their Xbox 360 in a vertical position while at the same time displaying their selection of favorite games. The vertical stand front is finished with a chrome look to match the new 360 and stores up to 10 game cases and 2 memory cards.

"Customized for the Xbox 360, Intec's Pro Gamer's Case (G8660 / MSRP: $39.99) features compartments specifically designed to fit the new Xbox 360 and protect it while on the go. It features separate compartments for 2 controllers, attachments, and even games.

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements.

It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support.

Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
