[Definitive] Xbox 360 Thread


Recommended Posts

Is the only way to store music and videos on my xbox through Windows-Media-Connect?

If so big bummer.

P.s Can we have this as a sticky again please? Surely it doesn't matter if it's against the rules because it's been released or whatever, just alot easier to find it that way.

Thanks :)

What is the better option, VGA or Component, my dell 24'' has both option,

Does component already come with Premium?

For a TV with 1080i, I think Component. The Xbox 360 VGA Adapter goes up to 720p. I'm not sure about picture quality either way.

I would think VGA, but I'm no expert on that.

Yeah I think so, it wasnt hard to set-up though, just wish I had a stronger signal to stream recorded tv with :)

Finally was able to get a premium system on Jan 1st... went right to Walmart after a party on New Years(3am)..was the 3rd and 4th there(me and my girl got there after another couple<--1:30am).. got to sit in the car till 6am or so since everyone agreed to keep their respective order.....around 6:45am walmart manager came out and said we have 4 premium and 10 core... so luckily I was able to pick up a premium for myself and brother-in-law... overall not a terrible experience... just was tired as hell for the rest of the day..

So as I said on the last page, I was able to order one online last week through Circuit City's site. I was very excited when I saw it shipped the same day too, although that was New Years Eve so I did not expect all that much.

Then I actually saw that the games and extra controller that were part of the bundle shipped seperately from the console itself. On top of that they only gave a tracking number for the console which was through FedEx, and the games and everything else were just coming via US Postal Priority with no tracking number.

So I check Sunday and I saw the console is coming in Thursday! (Y) Sweet right?

Well, it is almost like some sick, twisted form of torture since the games and extra controller came today!!!! :rofl: :rofl:

I am not complaining at all, since I know they are still hard to get, just thought I would share it so you guys could get a good laugh, cause I sure did.

Is anyone bored enough to take a picture of the Samsung 26" LCD (the 'official tv') playing a DVD via the Xbox 360? Saw one in the shop playing a dvd on a normal dvd player and it was just meh....so hoping its just that setup they had. :\

DirtyLarry:

Has the 360 arrived yet? :p

:laugh: :rofl: Nope, looks like tomorrow. This is absolute torture!!!! :rofl:

You think you've got torture?! I've got to wait another...57 days for mine, and I got the VIP pack which has PDZ + a controller in it.. I take it out every day or so and press the buttons :p

DL, did your gamefly games come in yet?

Nope, it also looks like my GameFly game will come in tomorrow hopefully as well.

If it does that is a pretty good turn around I can definitely live with.

And I forgot to say thank you in that PSP thread for that Mac app you linked to. Looks pretty damn sweet for sure. (Y)

And damn PC_Madness, I take everything back I said about torture. You definitely are going through an insane amount of torture!!! I truly do take it back...

however I do think that is classic though that you said you take it out and push the buttons every day or so. :laugh: (Y) Quote of the month as far as I am concerned.

I have to wait till Monday to get mine :-( It's not toooo bad I guess, I just want to play the FNR3 demo! I ordered mine from samsclub.com. 450 for a premium system, extra wireless controller and a play and charge kit. You basically get the play and charge for free which is nice.

Damn that is real nice. First bundle I have heard of that you actually get something for free honestly.

Enjoy when you get it. (Y)

And has it been confirmed the FNR3 demo is officially out?

I heard rumors it was tonight, but I have not read if it definitely was released for sure. That would be sweeeet.

i got a bundle from costco on dec 10. premium 360 (400), PGR3 (50), extra wireless controller (50), and play and charge kit (20). so that should be $520, yet they were selling it for $478.

that was the first time i've ever bought something at launch and actually paid less than MSRP.

that's why you most buy consoles/games from wal-mart and costco and not from game stores like ebgames or gamestop... :p

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
