Alright, I got a couple quick questions I was hoping the fine people at Destructoid could answer.
First, just recently my console has been acting wonky in regards to DLC. When I first got my Xbox I unlocked the whole thing so the Family Restrictions were off. Then I promptly downloaded the Bishock Demo, which is rated M. Just a few days ago I downloaded the Heroic Map Pack for Halo 3, which is rated M. And now, just today I try to download the HL2: Episode 2 Demo and it slaps me in the face with "This account is not allowed to download content of that rating." I find this odd and try to download the Bioshock demo again just to see if it will allow me to download content I've already seen. It again slaps me with the big X. Why is this?
Secondly, I noticed this when I got my Xbox, my hard drive already has about 8 gigs missing. All of the menus for my memory only have 100 MB, maybe almost a gig, but nothing that adds up to anywhere near 8 gigs. Where did this space go? I even deleted all the music they hide on the thing.
Has anyone else had issues with their CoD4 discs? My 360 has not even made a mark on any of my other games, but about 30 minutes after popping CoD4 in the thing gives me a disc read error. I take it out, wipe it off and see that in fact there are scuff marks. I put it back in and it works for about an hour. I get the same error again and am afraid to even play the thing again. One of my friends just got one today as well. Is this a widespread problem with these discs?
With the release of CoD4 last week the rush of amazing games has only just begun and I have a dilemma. I own a 360, and TECHNICALLY own a PC. Ok, I don't actually own a PC, I have a Mac. With the possibility of getting a gaming PC not looking good, what does Destructoid think about getting CoD4 for the 360? The only opinion I've really seen is from the PP community and they are the haven for PC elitists.
Since I am one of the 3 people here that doesn't have a 360, and can't watch as I download the Bioshock demo, my main concern is MP3.
The VC titles have been updated already, yet there is no sign of the two promised videos showing up. I have checked multiple times (I have no life) and have even watched the old trailers again (again, see last note). So where they at Ninty?
Also, a downloadable demo, even for 5 minutes of play would be awesome.
So I buy an Xbox a couple months ago to play about 6 select games before I get lost in a 360. I ended up buying Fable, Halo 2, Chaos Theory, Burnout 3, and KOTOR. KOTOR instantly became my favorite game of the bunch, it was just amazing. I soon went on vacation and returned wanting something different, I started playing Halo 2 hardcore online. So I attempt to pick up my KOTOR game again near the end of June.
I had gotten to Tatoine by this point and the first thing I see when I turn on my Xbox are three Dark Jedis. I start queuing up attacks, hit white and I hear "ZZZBEEPZZZZZ". The game had frozen. I gape, restart the console and it happens again. I do this about 10 times, trying different ways to approach it. There seems to be no way around it. I haven't picked up the game since, excluding an attempt to start over.
So my question is, is there no work around this freeze during the game? And if there isn't, is the game worth starting completely over to finish?
I have nearly every Nintendo system that has ever come out, I'm basically a fanboy, but I got a 360 about 3 months ago. Since the Wii is just a dust magnet right now I basically play KotOR, Bioshock, and COD4.
