Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Turok is looking pretty damn amazing.Executions Gameplay: Normal - http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21228.html HD Quality - http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21227.html Ranged Massacre Gameplay: Normal - http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21226.html HD Quality - http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21225.html Also, if you were worried about purchasing an Xbox360, then worry no more. Microsoft is extended the warranty to 3 years for the Red Ring of Death. Covers both repair and shipping costs, and anyone who has recently paid for repair costs will be reimbursed. http://kotaku.com/gaming/no-brainer/microsoft-expands-360-warranties-275370.php How does this bode for refurbished models?

Bigfoot Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 How does this bode for refurbished models? Same coverage or no? I wish I knew the answer. People were asking about that, but I dunno if they got an answer. Honestly, I don't feel like going through 200 comments to find out heh.

DJ Skratch 'n' Sniff Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Well, sweet Jesus, that's damn awesome. Hey, has anyone heard about the first broken PS3? It was user error. I guess some guy put duct tape over all the vents because he was afraid of dust getting in his console. I'm still in tears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Moore himself said you should get it mailed to you and to expect a check in about 10-12 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sega. Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Owned. But seriously, they REALLY needed to do this. Confidence was being drained by the second, and they sat up and took notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Are 360s now being sold with that new heatsink? If so, how can you be sure that you're getting one with it? Different model number/upc? Or is there no way unless you buy one when a new shipment comes in. I'm probably going to wait until after E3 to buy it just in case of a price drop.

Or is there no way unless you buy one when a new shipment comes in.I'm probably going to wait until after E3 to buy it just in case of a price drop. The only way to tell is by actually opening up the box and getting the system out. Shine a flashlight into the bottom end, and if you can see the DVD drive reflection, then there's no heatsink. To be honest, it's pretty safe to buy a 360 at this point. The disc-scratching and DVD drive issues seemed to affect units manufactured in the launch window almost exclusively and I believe that problem has been remedied for the most part. If you're worried about your system dying due to hardware failure, MS has you covered for 3 years for free. If your system will die, it will die within the first 36 months. By the way, keep on eye on the marketplace this week as there will be demos of both Blue Dragon and Ace Combat 6 because of E3 (and probably more). I'll be there in person, and while I won't be doing my usual yearly writeup for the OCR forum (since I have a lot of work I'll be doing for GamesAreFun), if you want me to check out a particular game at the show and give some impressions, I'd be more than happy to (and that goes for all systems).

Airwalker Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Is anybody else watching the Xbox 360 Spotlight? It's G4, so you know there has to be a lot of commercials. It bugs me, there's 4 minutes of commercials every 10 minutes, and it always seems to be break time when they announce something. It's a commercial event, and yet, we need more commercials. Ick! Well, hopefully they will announce something cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I'm watching it right now, and posting because of a commercial break lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airwalker Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 !!!! You can watch it commercial free on G4's website! http://www.g4tv.com/e32007/spotlight.html Turn off your TV; stop giving them AD money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I'd rather watch something with better quality than that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airwalker Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I'd rather watch something with better quality than that.. Yeah, I turned it on for the Halo bit, but then they put commercials in the middle of the gameplay trailer! That's how evil they are.

I-n-j-i-n Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 They didn't have any shocking news for 360, except that they point out that they have a lot of good games on it. I miss the old, chaotic E3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soma Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Yeah, I turned it on for the Halo bit, but then they put commercials in the middle of the gameplay trailer! That's how evil they are. Yeah the g4 coverage was awful. They barely showed Mass Effect. and they cutoff the Halo3 trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 So no uber awesome 360 news out of E3 I take it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-n-j-i-n Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 So no uber awesome 360 news out of E3 I take it? The most 'shocking' news is the new Resident Evil 5 trailer for 360. They reminded me that the 360 had Devil May Cry 4 and a lot of games we all knew about a year ago. Their press conference reminded me of the Sony conferences in the PS2 days. Always pointing how their games are selling the best, how they are in control of the current generation, lots of games, etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternal Zero Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I personally thought there were two shocking things: 1. The afore-mentioned RE5. NOBODY saw that coming. 2. Playable Assassin's Creed looked AMAZING. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
