Hi All,

Does anyone else use their 360 at 1080p over VGA because I found a nasty bug
on mine at those settings?

Inside Xbox doesn't work. I just get a screen full of garbage and the audio
as normal. It works fine if I drop the resolution back to 768p but fails
every time at 1080p. Everything else seems to work fine at 1080p, its quite
odd. First time it happened I thought the GPU had packed up.

Alex.

Re: [Xbox] Final Fantasy XI & 360's: HDD glitch

Actually the bigger hard drive might be a good idea.

When I went from the 20GB stock to the 120GB it was MILES faster loading data.
Granted its a bit bogged down again now with so much junk on it, but I have a
hunch the stock HD is only 4200RPM 2MB cache but the 120GB is 5200RPM 8MB
cache.

I may be wrong, but I seem to recall I checked the model number of the 120GB
while I still had the transfer cable and it was a far higher spec than the
stock 20GB. Even if I am mistaken about those specs above its still most
certainly a faster model than the 20GB so that might help.

Just don't get the arcade package. The Pro has a 20g dive and the Elite has a 120g drive, both play compatible xbox games that are on the official list.

Dude... Vertigo! I used to get that playing Descent on the PC years ago
and still on some stuff like Portal. Totally screwed with me. There's a few
things you can do - Dramamine or other motion sickness stuff's the easy way
out but I've discovered how you're playing also has a major effect and you can
DIY your way back to game play.

1) Lights. Backlights, things that allow your peripheral vision to
'see' things
around the room and not suck you totally into the game. Once you get that
tunnel-vision thing going, you'll be horfing soon after (or at least
feel like it).

2) Back that ass up. If you're right on the TV or you play within a couple
feet and have the room blacked out, you're gonna get it.

3) Sit in solid, comfortable furniture. Nothing causes Virtual Reality feel
like a rocking recliner or something not steady during gameplay, kinda adds
to the effect. To help get rid of it, get a comfortable and stationary chair!

Try those, rent a game that causes it and see if it goes away without taking
the happy dope. Then, if it doesn't, try that as a last resort so you don't
miss out on the solid games in FPS out there!

Gee for what the 15th time? I ain't calling Vegas for the odds yet, E3's a

into a 'Burn Sony' convention and I'm gonna get me a front row seat!! LOL

[Xbox] Rumor: More Xbox 360 price cut, 60GB 360 talk

http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/06/30/rumor-more-xbox-360-price-cut-60gb-360-talk/

Filed under: News, Rumors

Ever since last week, we've known about a rumored $299 Xbox 360 Pro price cut thanks to a leaked Kmart adscan and have also heard grumblings of a new 60GB HDD equipped 360 being announced at E3. Well, the rumor mill keeps on a churning as two more sources are reporting that the price cut and 60GB 360 rumors are indeed true.

Ars technica is claiming that, according to their super secret source, Microsoft will only be cutting the 20GB Xbox 360's price to $299 because it'll be discontinued and replaced with the newer 60GB HDD model. They also claim that the new 60GB 360 will roll out to retailers sometime in July, refuting the August release claims that were previously rumored. Finally, Hollywood Reporter is jumping into the Xbox 360 rumor pit, with claims that their sources tell them that the Xbox 360 Pro price cut will in fact happen prior to E3, but no information regarding the Elite or Arcade is available.

This is how we see this playing out: The first week of July, Microsoft will announce that the Xbox 360 Pro and only the Pro will see a price cut to $299. Then, the second week of July during their E3 press conference, MS will announce a new 60GB HDD Xbox 360 console priced at $349 to replace the old 20GB model. Simple.

[Xbox] AP: The Who coming July 15 to Rock Band

http://feeds.joystiq.com/~r/weblogsinc/joystiq/~3/323263300/

Filed under: Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, Online, Rhythm

Buried on the 11th paragraph on a story about Rock Band 2, The Associated Press reports this morning that 12 tracks from The Who "ranging from 'My Generation' to 'Who Are You' will release for Rock Band on July 15." Neither of those tracks are from the long-awaited album Who's Next, but at least this is something, right?

Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos confirms the rumors that Who's Next's release has been delayed due to missing master tracks. He said The Who's Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey helped get a best-of soundtrack together of what could be found. The songs will be $2 a piece or sold as a pack for $20. We've sent a request to Harmonix for more information and we'll update as soon as we finish putting this brick in the wall ... oops, wrong band.

Re: [Xbox] POGO - got any stargate beta invites

it's not my problem.it's their problem for not letting me in yet.. Though..I'm not sure it's even IN closed Beta yet.

Sign ups are still there, but I've not heard word from anyone about being IN beta yet. Though I think it's supposed to

be released in AUG.. if that's the case they are really running behind...

Ok, I know this'll hit a limited audience but we're trying to lock
down what's causing the problem. This is my other half's passion,
I got bored with it early on so I'm half-familiar with the game.

On the 360 version of FFXI, gameplay's normal but during two
intense data movement missions called Besieged and Campaigns
the sucker likes to lock up. It appears to basically get bogged
down and simply 'sticks'. Sometimes the logjam breaks and
you can continue play but most of the time the sucker has to
be rebooted.

Apparently it's common on 360's, but this game is a huge HDD
hog for openers. Like it eats up most of your stock 20GB HDD.

So what I'm thinking is that there's minimal cache room because
the drive's filled to near capacity so the 360 can't really make it's
version of a Page File like on Windows to handle the data packets.
Now the packets on FFXI are incredibly small to begin with but
during these two sessions you're playing with a ton of people,
sometimes upwards of over 100. So that means a boatload of
data being shoved around like an elephant through a keyhole.

Anyone here play FFXI on the 360 and have a 120GB HDD and
you don't experience these problems? Every 20GB person we've
spoken to has it, so that's why I'm wondering if it's a bit of a
glitch due to the drive size?
