Lost Cities this week on XBLA. Some kind of card game, apparently...

Ooo? Lost Cities? That's a Reiner Knizia game. Could be good.

I've finally got my new Samsung 40" LCD TV sorted out with all the right cables and all the right settings. So last night at long last I got to put my Xbox 360 into 1080p resolution! The first thing I tried was Burnout Paradise. Wow. That looks amazing! I can't believe the difference compared to SD. Tonight I might just have to try loads of things to see how they look now.

Just bit the bullet and bought the play.com deal.

Premimum x360 and GTA4 for £199. Cant be bad. Only down side is I dont get it until 02/05/08.

On the plus side, that's a Friday which means a hardcore GTA weekend.

Shiny! Dont forget you can register yourself a gamertag before your 360 arrives. (Easier than doing it on the 360's joypad - well, unless you plug a USB keyboard in).

Although if he does the registering of the Gamertag on the 360 itself, he gets a month free Xbox Live Gold at the start.

IIRC he won't get a month free if he does the registering online via Xbox.com (even if he has the console).

Sure enough Lost Cities turns out to be quite good, if you don't mind it just being a card game ported to the 360.

Sorry for the total newb question ...

I've been playing GTA on my new 360. The user tag I gave myself was "Chunk". This is just a local tag that I havent used online.

I've now created a different tag online via the xbox live site. When ever I sign in to xbox live on my xbox, it connects using a new profile. How do I use my first profile with xbox live?

Thanks.

Blu-ray drive coming to 360? Apparently so according to this: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/xbox-b ... ,5272.html.

The only way to merge your online and offline accounts is to bloody pay for it! Looks like I stitched myself up by playing offline after setting up an account online.

Anyone know a way around this?

Why not just use the online account from now on?

Because my gamer score wont be carried forward. The stuff I've done in GTA whilst using the offline account will be lost.

You would lose your gamerscore anyway if you use the offline account to go online. Had a coworker with several thousand points before he decided to go online with his 360. His gamerscore was reset to zero when he went online with that account.

Seriously? There must be a way around that, it just seems ridiculous for there not to be.

I've logged a call with the xbox live help desk, asking them to delete the account I made online. I'm then going to attempt to sign up via my offline account and xbox 360. Have to see what happens.
