whats diff between premium and standard one, worth me paying more?
Posted by arien617
There y'are:
Posted by jcwhite_uk
The main difference is the 20GB hard drive. I would recomend the premium (sometimes called pro) system.
Posted by Danny_BFC
I would get PGR4, coincidently im selling mine
Only cos i have a backup XD
Ace combat is a top game aswell but a big shocker for me is how good ProStreet is. Racing on the highest difficulty, having to use the clutch to change gears etc. Its amazing.

ok, what does the harddrive store? apart from game saves ?
Posted by jcwhite_uk
You can download games, music, videos etc to the hard drive.

Game demo's, Videos, other downloadable contents such as game reviews, full episode of south park in HD (if it's still available), can download arcade games, can even download full xbox games.
Have to pay for some of that though.

I need to do that!
When I've got my 360 on the 42 incher there's no connection to XBL and I don't have £60 to blow on an adapter! I can't work out how to do ICS on Vista, need to find a tutorial!
Posted by jcwhite_uk
I am on XP. I just created a new network by going to network setup wizard. In that I told the computer that other computers connected through mine and it worked within a minute.

arien, I will help you but I didnt work for me :-/

Im pretty sure you cant do ICS on vista.
I searched for ages but then just went back to XP
Posted by arien617
Hello?
Is this what I should be looking at?
Posted by thomas93
Instructables Arien.
They have a vista guide on the XP guide
Posted by Cycovision
Bill Gates' Ultimate Guide to Internet Connection Sharing on Vista
Do all that first, then plug the XBox in and fiddle with it's connection settings on the XBox's 'System' tab.
Ignore the fact that the diagram on the M$ page shows a network hub, it's the same if you plug the Xbox directly into the computer's ethernet port.
And it does work too. I've done it successfully several times in the past , contrary to what some forums would have you believe...
EDIT:
Oh yeah, you might need to enable media centre in Vista too, if I remember correctly
EDIT (again):
Although a cheap router would be much easier...

I shall look into that Thomas, but Cyco has it all down here now, so I'll do that first when I can.
And it's because there's no wiring for internet near the telly. There's no phone sockets or RJ45s there. Wireless is the only option and Microsoft can stick that £60 adapter up there ar$eh0les!

Anyone know if there's anything new for xbox planned for E3 in July?
Posted by Danny_BFC
Metal Gear solid 4 probably
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Really? I thought the Metal Gear Solid series had always been PlayStation Exclusives ever since the PS1 took over! I kinda doubt you Xboxers will get MGS4...

Hi,
Just signed up for xbox live using the profile nicv27 when i tried using one of the other stored profiles to connect i kept getting an error message. Do you have to pay per profile or am i doing something wrong?
Thanks
Posted by ÈL ® ö B ì Ñ
No mate profiles are free and come with free xbox live silver which lets you add friends, download demo's and videos and other free content and send messages....Gold allows you to play online.
Maybe the pass or something is wrong on the other profiles?
Best to have your own new profile anyway mate, get your own achievements and add your won friends etc.

Is anybody here playing Race Driver: GRID online/ offline?
Absolutely brilliant game, it's weaned me off GTA 4! It's a very well polished racer
Posted by max99
ok want to get my 360 online, now i have a wireless network in my house, and my big tv one i use for the 360 isnt in room where I could easily use a ethernet cable to hook it up, is the only real option a wireless network adapter ?
Posted by Cycovision
^^^
Yes, pretty much.
unless you have a PC in the same room which is connected wirelessly to the network, then you could set up internet sharing over an ethernet cable between the PC and the XBox 360.
This isn't always easy to get working though, an xbox 360 wireless adapter would be a much better choice.
Posted by max99
ok how about i got my laptop wireless and then ethernet cable from laptop to xbox
how possible would this be ?
Posted by Burgaz
very possible...
You just have to enable internet connection sharing on yer lappy... Cyco know more than me tho
Posted by Cycovision
I posted a link and a very brief guide here, about halfway down the page

No it's not lol, I'm playing it also, but at the end of the day it's a very arcady game, the handling is terrible and the AI even worse.
Yes the GFX are pretty, but that's about all the game has going for it.

Each to their own, mate! We don't all want to play realistic driving simulators like GT or Forza 2 all of the time, you know
The handling is very twitchy, I agree, but you soon get used to it.

My 3 week old 360 is now going to have go to be reapired as it corrupts my gamertag everytime I turn the console on. It also wont recognise when I plug in a memory card.
Posted by thomas93
I hate how everytime I turn off the mains it loses the time :S
Also, why won't Vista share my connection?

Anyone got any ideas how long MS normally take to repair 360's?
Posted by Danny_BFC
1-2 months
Posted by ÈL ® ö B ì Ñ
You sure?
Turnaround is usually 2 weeks.
Posted by pmerryman
Mine was between 2-3 weeks.
Posted by arien617
2 and a bit weeks.
Posted by Danny_BFC
My mates, took 2 week to get the box delivered for them to pack it in, then a further 43 days, to be precise to fix it.
