TeamXbox is a bit better... But they are both full of 360 fanboys.Originally posted by: Queasy

Has anyone played a decent game of DOA4 online without any lag? It seems like everytime I jump online, I can't even play it because it's so laggy. This sucks. This was the one game I was looking forward to the most on 360.

The lawsuit brought by a Chicago man displeased with the Xbox 360's overheating problems is due to be heard on January 10th, but Microsoft are trying to get it thrown out of court before it even begins. It seems that Robert Byers hasn't even contacted customer support about the problems with his own 360--and it's not even clear his 360 is malfunctioning. He may be bringing the lawsuit on the strength of others' complaints, which will make for an interesting argument in court.
In the motion to dismiss, Microsoft notes that "Significantly, Plaintiff omits the fact that his Xbox 360, purchased in November 2005, is still covered by a 90-day warranty, under which Microsoft agreed to repair or replace it, or issue a refund. In fact, Plaintiff does not allege that he contacted anyone at Microsoft about the alleged defect, let alone that Microsoft refused to honor the terms of its warranty. Moreover, Plaintiff does not allege that his Xbox 360 ever malfunctioned. He alleges only that "members of the class have experienced malfunctions" with their Xbox 360s - not that he has.
According to reports obtained by Gamasutra, a number of subscribers to the North American GameFly video game rental service have received messages regarding an Xbox 360 hardware fault that potentially scratches game discs, making them unplayable.
The issue has previously been discussed at length on a number of fan websites, with the problem being particularly pronounced if users move the Xbox 360 while it is in use. However, some consumers are reporting that their Xbox 360 hardware will scratch discs without being moved.
The disc scratching problem is evidently widespread enough that GameFly has prepared a 'form letter' to send to all consumers who return Xbox 360 discs with defects on them, commenting:
"We have received reports that certain XBOX 360 consoles have caused damage to GameFly videogames. Unfortunately, we have been notified that you recently returned a damaged XBOX 360 game.
As a precaution, we have removed all XBOX 360 games from your GameQ. Please contact Microsoft at 1-800-4MY-XBOX. Please do not rent XBOX 360 games until you have resolved this issue.
In the future, should GameFly receive XBOX 360 games from you that have been damaged, you will be charged a replacement fee."
Representatives from GameFly had not returned calls inquiring about the extent of the problem by press time. Microsoft itself has previously commented to VNUNet regarding post-launch Xbox 360 technical issues: "We have received a few isolated reports of consoles not working as expected. The call rate is well below what you'd expect for a consumer electronics product of this complexity."

Not sure about that. I tried using a usb wireless adapter and it didnt work. Think it has to be MS certified. I maybe wrong about that just couldn't get the one I had working with it.

Are these becoming more widely available? I just watched 2 auctions go for less than $475 on ebay. On both auctions the reserves were not met. I think its funny. Anyway, on a serious note, when are these supposed to become available on the shelves everyday?

Hackers have cracked the Xbox 360 puzzle game Hexic HD in order to discover more about the inner workings of Microsoft's new console.
Files from the puzzle game have been extracted, burned to disc, and booted from a standard Xbox 360 console. The game can also be run on PC.
I rather enjoy it but I have to admit that it's tough. Granted, I've never been very good at that genre.Originally posted by: Wingznut
Everytime I log on, quite a few of you are playing DOA4... I wasn't going to pick it up, but it seems rather popular.
