Anyone knows what's the procedure to RMA a faulty disc? If it's even possible?
coz my Oblivion has stopped working properly. Started with the 'disc unreadable' problem. When it started working again, some textures won't load and stuff. I've noticed that now there are a few small scratches on the outer part of the disc. Which is done by the bloody console I believe. (from what I read)
I've had discs with far severe scratches than this and they worked like a charm. Hmm...

I googled this problem and it turns out that I'm not the only one having this problem.

for my scratch dvd game ( "thanks" to my old 360...)...........,currently i use Motorized SkipDr........and it works !..... If ur DVD only have light scratches but cannot play it,....i think....theres a possibility ur console got teeny tiny problem.

Not sure whether in KL got or not,...coz i bought it at digitalinnovations.com . Although the shipping is the same price with the products itself,its worth the money (for me...). Now, i have 2 scratched games in a working condition...
.

sounds good. yours had light scratches or what?

but then again, if I do the math, I might as well get another copy of the game. Hmm... how about this, you fix my disc for me using that thing and I'll pay you or something.

On second thought...

OMG OMG I f0cking fixed it!
toothpaste and hairgel FTW!!!

don't know how long it will last though.
hehehehehe. time for oblivion marathon.

April '07 Backward Compatibility Update

April showers have yielded us a Back Compat update The latest backwards compatibility update is now available over Xbox Live (or will be very soon.) This free update brings the complete list of original Xbox games that you can play on your Xbox 360 to over 300. Remember, your original Xbox games will look better than ever on Xbox 360 running in 720p and 1080i with anti-aliasing.  You can also play cross-platform between Xbox 360 and the original Xbox over Xbox Live.

April 2007 Back Compat titles added/updated:

Soul Calibur 2 UPDATED 

Unreal Championship 2

you can either save back at the couch in the security room, or the toilets.

You don't have to kill the convicts in the park. Killing them and riding their jeep will get you an achievement though. And the machine gun is fun.
Easy way to kill them - Get the submachine gun from Paradise Plaza, or a few guns from the zombie cops near the park entrance.
Try to lure them into ramming a tree and getting stuck. Then you can shoot them like a fish in a barrel.

When you get a certain scoop and defeat a certain boss (don't want to spoil), a survivor will unlock a hidden passage from Wonderland Plaza to Paradise Plaza, bypassing the damn park. This is a must if you want to save more survivors.

The chainsaw you get after defeating the boss in Wonderland Plaza can be durability extended to a ridiculous length by getting the following books: Engineering and Entertainment book from Paradise Plaza, and the +Bladed one in Wonderland Plaza. This triple books the chainsaws. This will also make the game a lot easier.

Anything else about DR you can ask me, I just got 1000/1000 Achievement Points for it today >_> not to brag.

Silent Hill 5 will spell a return to Silent Hill 2's direction and character behavior, according to series composer and SH4 producer Akira Yamaoka. Apparently, SH5 will be closer to SH2 "in the terms of the way the player is directed and the character's behavior." The camera style will also revert back to the traditional setup, instead of sharing the over-the-shoulder view from upcoming PSP adventure Silent Hill: Origins.

Which ought to be great news for any fans hoping for a return to the series' earlier, eerier and less run-and-bludgeon style gameplay.

For PC, lol.
It will be on Steam.

TheSpecialist sent us the update of HDDHackr(info) many of you were probably waiting for. With the release of an official 120GB drive by Microsoft you can now use this tool to make your own 120GB Xbox360 HDD using a Western Digital Scorpio BEVS-LAT drive (that's a cheap (~80usd for 120GB) SATA 2.5" PC/laptop drive):

soon sure can find the 120GB hddss.bin file from the net.

wireless controller already giving battery problem but hey wireless is the way to go freedom but headset i find it acceptable to go wired for it

You'll get shorter battery life on your wireless controller if you use wired headset, since the headset is sucking the power from the controller.

You'll get longer battery life on your wireless controller if you use wireless controller, but you need another battery life to worry for.

yea please do take note that the wireless headset battery is not replaceable :|
correct me if imm wrong

Isn't it rechargeable?

Isn't it rechargeable?

do you guys think the wireless headset is worth buying?    or I just continue using the wired..hmm

if u have spare change...why not........I use the wireless headset...its great......
...i buy it bcoz there is one incident that whilst i want to go to grab a drink,i forgot to take out my wired headset........so..i drop my controller.....silly me....thank god its only a 1 foot drop...

Ceh.... that kind of incident, tak hairan langsung. If you say you did some ahem2 stuff while the headset is switched on then only you got a hell of a story

I wonder if there's a real life case like that and a video of it made its way to youtube

guys, any comment for the Intercooler ???
i bought already and the performance is very very good, it makes my 360 cooler than ever ...
