I have several newbie questions to ask. I just bought Xbox 360 4days ago.

1) On my xbox 360 limited edition box (asia version), stated that free Xbox Live Silver membership and include one month Xbox Live Gold membership. How i gonna enable the xbox Live Gold with one month free?.
2) How do i change the picture (avatar) in xbox live gamercard provided by xbox.com other than what they have provided in the gamer picture?
3) My xbox is NTSC/J. How do i know which game support for my xbox?.
4) What is region free and region locked?. I have a game that prompt for region locked, is there any other way to enable it?


p/s: If others want to ask noobie question, u can also post it here.

2) Set up in your profiles
In the Edit Your Gamercard right?, what actually i mean is, i want to add my own custom picture, not what they have already provided.

2) u can only use microsoft approved picture (avatar). some picts u get free, some u can buy with MS points

3&4) when buying a 360 game, look for the NTSC/J on the top right corner

some other games with NTSC or PAL logo also works on NTSC/J Asian machine. check the lists^  frequently
when buying xbox game, look for the NTSC/J on the top right corner also &

O/T: erm, those pinned threads buying (FAQ, how to live, region-free) contains useful info, however those threads are also full of repeated Q&As. can mod & the threadstarter prune those threads to be more-like info threads rather than chat threads?

Ohh ic on the top right corner stated NTSC/J. I already read that thread, just want to gain more info. By the way thank u for your valuable information smile.gif

Another question.

How do i know that my xbox 360 is 1st batch or 2nd batch?. I bought mine on December 2006.

How to prevent from 3 Red Light Ring Of Death? (ex: Every 2 hours playing, rest for about half an hour. Or intercooler?)

It is nice to play offline too. I just finish the "casual" mode. Learn some technique from there and plan to play MP now.
this game can really last very long  blush.gif

ron4, look at the back of your console where the a/v port is. There's a label there that will mention your serial no. and manufacturing date.

I try to connect Gears Of War to join online battle. But every time i do that, this error message appear

Cannot play online

Your current gamer profile settings do not allow playing online games. To continue, all signed-in gamer profiles must be allowed to play online
.


What does it mean actually?, bcos i checked my gamer profile is already connected to xbox live. How do i connect to play GoW online with others, or maybe somebody need to invite me first?. By the way my GoW game is original one. Kindly please advice.

you need to subscribe to xbox live gold if you wanna play online day and night. but if you just wanna download from marketplace only then just use the silver account it's free then. for gold it's around rm180 something per year.

Ok thanks judge-the.
