XBOX 360 QUESTION

I definitely think you should. Also, you should lend and/or sell me NHL 08, Skate, and Dead Rising! That's a v. good deal. Get a receipt if you can though, and ask where it was bought.

can a faulty RB button be fixed?

I doubt it, it depends on the damage, but in my opinion that bundle is definitely still worth $400, even with only one controller. If you wanted, you could probably resell those games for 40, 50, 30, 20, 40 and 20 dollars respectively, meaning the console is costing you like $200.

I might actually be into selling you those games you want. How much wouldja pay for the 3 of them?

ANYONE WHO WOULD EVEN ASK THIS QUESTION HAS TAKEN LEAVE OF HIS REASON

How much wouldja pay for the 3 of them? ...he asks, after I've quoted the amounts he could probably get for them on Craigslist. That was stupid of me.

Uhh... how's 60 for the 3?

EVERYONE ON THIS THREAD IS DERANGED

I'M CALLING THE COPS

$75?

Keep me posted on whether or not you've sold them... I'll have to wait another paycheck before I'm sure if I can afford to buy 'em (this paycheck is pretty much devoted to fixing my DS and paying my power bill) :)

why is everyone deranged antexit?

there's also... this.

i fucking LOVE that dude, i think i mentioned him in the craigslist hilarity thread.

I'M A SERIOUS AND YET FUNNY GUY, WE MIGHT EVEN BECOME FRIENDS:)

oh and make sure the console you buy isn't xbox live banned.

he sez it isn't... he sez.

have you seen that dude around the list before?

Yeah, I've seen that ad specifically a few days ago. I laughed a lot when I read it.

It's a good deal in theory. It depends on how reliable the guy is, mostly. I always buy new because I'm a rich idiot.

We should hang, poly.

We can go yachting off the coast of Svenborgia.

I haven't been able to stomach the idea of yachting since I caught my skipper stealing food.

it's the same guy selling both xboxes... sketchy??

oh, that is kinda sketchy... but you might even become friends

i hope so :)

okay the media sharing set up is some bullshit, doesn't say anything about troubleshooting.

following all the instructions, but media player on my laptop just doesn't see the 360 in its media sharing section.

the network map sees it fine.

the set up on the 360 is fucking hopeless, and made by three year olds or something.

any ideas? i turned off the firewall etc, but didn't help.

going thru wireless connection from laptop btw to modem
wired connection from the 360 to modem.

i tried setting this up a few years ago and gave up in frustration. that's all i got.

i just tried pingin it, and time out. could be my router i guess.

fuck it.

ot fucking money

Yeah I have no idea how to use the Media Sharing.

install PS3 Media Server on your PC or Mac. works like a charm, transcodes everything.

PS3 media server works on on 360?

yup!

has everyone been following the brewing EA/FIFA hack xbox controversy?

a friend of a friend has just had his bank account cleared (£1100 spent)

afaik you don't have to have played FIFA for it to happen...

whuuut??

been brewing for the past couple months

ohh man that's awful

just checked my acct, i'm fine.

i wonder how the thieves targeted accts.

im about to buy an xbox this weekend HALP!!

from what i gather this is just a brute force password attack? a significantly complex password should be safe, right?

ok someone please tell me that the dashboard doesn't look like an ad-infested piece of shit once i actually pay for xbox live gold

please???

The dashboard looks awful all the time, sorry.

Also you should be fine as long as you use a dedicated hotmail account for your xbox.

People I know who are very diligent are being hit by this. It's all over the place.

No credit card details on file, but there's what $4 of points sitting in my account. Whatever, like I'm spending it anyway.

yup MS have fucked up here and they're handling it badly, insisting it's phishing

... and, it's just happened to me

only lost £51 but still

wtf! i feel for you coz. so one should actually be nervous about this

especially if you've ever played an EA game (and not necessarily just FIFA. need for speed, burnout etc.)

that i have. though i just checked my account and the only credit card i had registered has expired

I fire off a friendly message. (Sorry, I didn’t even think to photograph my messages to him!)

“Hi, who is this? When did you add me?”

sake man. glad my deets are out of date (i lost my wallet and thus my bank card and the bank just closed my old account and opened a new one).

rinsed all the points (about 2300) I had sat in my account as well

don't think Microsoft will let you delete a payment method online if it's the only one stored. My card was still in date so I added Paypal and deleted the card, then logged into Paypal and cancelled the permission to send money to Microsoft

I want to live in a field

i just tried to edit my existing card to have wrong information, and it won't let me put in a wrong expiry date? wtf. hope the fake security code went thru

so what do i need to check, to see if i've been compromised here?

this is what my account looked like

they still haven't given me the points back.

from what I can follow they hacked EA's accounts and/or forums and if you happened to have the same login pass to your xbox live account, thats how they got you.

microsoft is saying it was phishing but I am 99% sure that is bullshit.

brilliant idea: maybe limit how many gold packs someone can buy in a fucking day?

no way I was phished, unless it's an inside job at google

how much were you stung for total, bnw?

I asked the MS whether microsoft's stance was still that it was phishing and not a brute force and he maintained that it can't be a brute force and then started casting aspersions on EA which was kinda funny...

the MS rep*

I had bought however many points you get for like $70. so not that bad since nothing happened with my credit card/paypal.

hacker created a FIFA team on my account and that was all as far as I can tell aside from buying all those gold packs. not sure if that was a necessary step in the hack or not.

MS should realize this makes paying customers a lot more likely to torrent the hell out of anything they want. that's sure how I feel.

damn, this sucks... i actually went xbox instead of PS3 because i was spooked from the PS3 hack last year!

at least sony apologized for it

otfm. MS's attitude appears to be sucking.

jeez guys, sorry about this. what a shitshow.

Gave new heavy passwords to my EA account and Hotmail account just in case.

i finally got my refund. if you are being jacked around by their support I recommend googling the BBB in Western Washington state. you can fill out a complaint online and that will get your case escalated in a hurry.

i didn't even notice this thread until just now, but i got hit by the fifa exploit as well in december for about $200. my bank (and it was BoA, of all banks) was cool enough to reverse the charges right away; it took microsoft well over a month to investigate it and re-enable my account.

their account reclamation process is completely insane, though - i can't believe i literally had to login to hotmail using the email address to which my windows live id was renamed by whoever stole my account

so i've been having an issue with my brand new wireless controller where the right joystick will drift to the left while stationary. i $hipped my controller to micro$hit for a replacement and the brand new replacement controller is showing the same issue.

xbox support insists that it must be corrupted game files (even though it occurs in most games, and one of my controllers works just fine) or a corrupted gamertag. has anyone seen this issue before?

I have two new-ish controllers one wireless and one wired that I use on the PC, and they both do this occasionally, then they go back to normal as soon as you move the stick.

yeah, mine stops when i move the stick but it happens far too often to be a simple annoyance. also with a game like ikaruga where for some reason you can control with either joystick, a drifting joystick can be the difference between life or death
