encode the episodes to Mpeg, MPEG 2 or WMV ,

install MCE 2005 on the PC,

use media center extender on the 360.

:D Finally got mine. The tracker on Bens Bargains actually worked, placed my order through Circuit City, got my confirmation email, free shipping, and it says I should have it by 1/12 so I can live with that. :D

Thanks man. Me and a coworker of mine got lucky. Sorry about that. As soon as I announced I was trying to get it he hopped on too.

The real screwed up thing is when I was just trying to get the console itself, the site kept saying we have encountered an error. So I went to the main 360 Page and saw they had the bundle available. Once I added that I got it no problems. During checkout with the bundle they actually let you remove the items, but I was scared and thought if I did that maybe it would not work. I also figured I could just exchange whatever game I did not want for what I did want when I get the game. My coworker actually removed everything from the bundle except the console and extra controller, and he got it no issues at all. I was pretty surprised actually he got away with it but he did. So I really got the bundle although I did not need to, but no worries as I will just exchange Kameo for something else.

Basically it was all a huge matter of luck, as I have been checking that tracker every day since it was made, so it really was just almost all luck and nothing less.

I say just keep checking back at Circuit City. It seems the trend of all of the other places that have had them online are sell a few, make sure they have enough, and then they sell some more a few hours later. That is what the other people have been doing, so maybe they will as well.

Definitely Good Luck Though. (Y) I know you have been trying just as long as I have, so without a doubt good luck. :yes:

Nooooo! This makes for a good thread with random posts in it. :(

So post. The console has been released, so no need for a sticky on it. Every other thread in this forum is about the 360, since people can actually have things to say about it now that aren't rehashed blog posts. ;)

Hasn't been released everywhere yet mate.

No, but it's more released than the PS3 or Revolution is. Which means there's no reason to keep the sticky around for the parts of the world that don't have it yet, because the owners will post their own threads now, praising or asking for clarification on things, and the thread will lose its popularity.

I did not think this was a question worthy of a new thread, but I am curious does X Box Live carry over?

Meaning I still have X Box live activated for my older X Box, so when I get my 360 will it just carry over or do I have to pay all over again if I want the better plan?

TIA,

DL

Yes it carries over. Any Xbox Live subscription that you buy will work on both systems (and you can jump back and forth without doing anything special at all).

Nice. Glad to hear it. Thanks for the response.

How can i hook my 360 upto a dell monitor with DVI connection?

Do i need additional adaptors to whats supplied with the premium package?

You can buy a VGA cable to connect it to the Dell monitor. They're sold seperately from the system itself and support several resolution options. There is no DVI connection at this time. But if your PC is connected to the DVI port on the monitor, it's probably easier to have the 360 connected to VGA anyway (so you can switch without unplugging anything).

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
