i read somewhere around here that xbox360 cannot play xvid files, is that true ?

what video extensions xbox/x360 can handle ?

I got already dissapointed when i found that i couldnt record TV shows with it...now if it wont play some extensions im definitively out. :cry:

Well look what great news i got from gameplay.com and i pre-ordered the console on the second day of pre-orders way before the 23/08/05 cut off date. Nice of them to tell me 15 days before release. Is the UK getting like 10 xbox360s

"Due to huge demand for the Xbox 360 Console and low stock allocation into the UK we will not be able to fulfil your order for the Xbox 360 Premium Pack for release date.

We recommend that you still keep your pre order with us so you remain in the queue for the next allocation of stock. Your card will not be charged until we despatch your order.

Currently we do not know when the next allocation of consoles will be sent from Microsoft.

We would like to apologise for this situation but unfortunately we are at the whim of Microsoft?s stock levels. We will secure stock as soon as it becomes available in the UK.

If you have any further queries please don?t hesitate to contact us.

Had quite the relief today.

I went to my local gamestop and picked up some of my pre-ordered games (CoD2, Condemned, NBA 2k6, and PGR3) and told them i had gotten that automated GS call saying I could pick up my system @ midnight on monday. He asked if I had seen their list yet, and I said no. He pulled it out and showed me the reserve list. Out of the 28 consoles, I was #24 :). Then I asked him what time i should line up, and he said 11:45 would be fine, especially since there'll only be about 20 people there.

Well, I'm extremely happy and just had to post that. :D

[re_freshing]

Heh. I just realized the premium version has chrome. I want one for chrismas, but I'm betting they'll be sold out.

[Jeremy1]

I'll sell you mine... for $800. :devil:

[Starman]

Same here, esco. Turns out there are only 10 people on the VIP line, including myself.

[RAINMAN]

I actually did sell one of mine for 800$ :D

Been playing it all week. :cool:

[stanley porkchop]

Hey guys, haven't posted in a while.

Does anyone know if it's possible to transfer a current X Box Live account over to the X Box 360? I thought I read something about that a few months ago, but now that I have the next generation at my fingertips I can't figure it out.

[esco]

when it asks you if you have a Xbox Live account, you say that you're a member (initial setup, when u first turn on your x360.) To make thing easier, make sure your XBL account is linked w/ a MS passport. Then all you do is provide your email addy + password, and it's recovered :) See u on XBL like...tomorrow? btw, did u get any games..like did harry bust out more $$$ :D

PD0 rocks!! So awesome, and I love the collectors edition casing! :)

[stanley porkchop]

Nope, no games. But I'm planning on buying PD0 asap.

What sucks now is... I don't remember what credit card I used to set my account up. Sucks.

[agent lead]

one of the best games i ever played ^^

coop on live is so much fun..

[neufuse Veteran]

perfect dark zero looks good have it, and have madden which looks a lot better then previous console versions

Ok quick question ... I bought the 400 dollar bundle with the HD, does that mean I can play old xbox games ??? Can I play Halo2 ??

[stanley porkchop]

Yeah, you can.

the only backwards compatible games you can play on the 360 are the supported ones, which you can find @:

Yeah, it's THE game right now.

[Cloud Constructors]

Yeah, it's THE game right now.

I expected PD to be better - though I haven't played it yet I hear it plays much like the N64 version with updated 'shiny' graphics

Best thing to do is play it for yourself. A lot of people are having differing views on the game right about now, so the only opinion you should trust is your own.

[Homer]

Me and my mate are sitting here trying to get a 360, we've tried about 20 or so stores already, and no dice.

[Pc_Madness]

So whats the final verdict on noise/heat/overheating? For some strange reason Australia is getting a bundle with PDZ + a Game this week (even though we get the console in March :\), so I wouldn't want to buy it all and then come release time find that I've been completely turned off ithe console because of its issues. :p
