The 360 thread!

[Jonesey]

Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn starts on October 5th. It can be watched HERE but I'll probably be watching it on Waypoint.

I won't like it, though.

Y'know - teenagers feeling "ways" about "stuff".

Anyway it looks like John 117 shows up at some point.





So...there y'go. Anyone who's out there, arsed or otherwise.

Trying to play the Oblivion expansion packs is driving me nuts. Am I doing something daft?

I am unable to install the add-on packs "Shivering Isles" and "Knights of the Nine" onto my 360. I am trying to install the packs from disc; and I have tried unsuccessfully with both the original Shivering Isles stand-alone disc and the Shivering Isles disc from the recent Oblivion 5th Anniversary Edition.

I can run the main Oblivion disc and install it to my hard drive successfully. The software is version 1.2.1 which is, according to Bethesda's website, the latest version.

When I insert the add-on disc, the Dashboard doesn't show a picture for the game - it just states "play game". I click on this and the software runs, reporting "Expansion Pack Installer" and that "An update is required to install this expansion pack. Update now?". I select "Yes, update now". An "Installing" message appears for about half a second. This 'update' doesn't seem to work like updates for any other 360 game; no download (green bar) appears.

Afte this half-second update, the option "Install Expansion Pack" appears. I select this and then "Install selected" (both add-ons are automatically ticked). An "Installing" message appears but after a few seconds the message"! Expansion Pack Installer - Can't install one or more items" is reported.

As I say, I've tried with two different pack discs and I have successfully used the discs before. I recently "started from scratch" (formatted) my 360 drive but I haven't had this problem with any other games (including Bethesda's Fallout 3 / Vegas). I have also tried emptying the hard drive cache.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

...sorted it out. I "only" had to back-up my game saves, format the drive and re-download all my games again.

I can now load up the add-on packs without any problem. Very strange!

My Xbox died and wasn't repairable or at least that we what I was told. Picked up a pre owned one and that died so went to game today and they replaced it this morning . Few hours later and it's dead so back to game tomorrow. Seriously peed off with this

Are the newer ones more reliable?

[Jonesey]

Nice!

Yay, finally got my Dashboard updated today.

Nothing spectacular, but I like how they've removed the "heavy mist" that used to occupy the bottom half of the Dashboard background. My Fallout 3 theme is now clearer; the desolate, decimated wasteland now proudly acts as the backdrop for my navigation into the Games tab :-)

[Jonesey]

Blimey! Episodes 3 and 4 of Forward Unto Dawn are pretty riveting. Worth a goosey for even non-Halo fans.

Yup.

Yours is the first post I've seen of a failure of the new style 360.

It wasn't the newer model that failed just 3 elites before I ended up buying the newer model . Now have some WiFi adaptors to sell

Not as cool as if you were an American who has been on Xbox Live Gold since it started - they woke up to a limited edition Xbox360 anniversary console for free.

Only a select few got the console, not every 10 year Live member.

The Walking Dead episode 1 is free at the moment, and the other episodes are only 200 points each. So you can get the whole lot for 800 points. Today only!
