The Old XBOX Megathread

[Fudge]

Just got the two red lights bollocks right in the middle of playing Fifa 10 demo. Now I have to wait hours for it to cool, even though it was only turned on for twenty minutes in the first place.

You must have it in a boxed in area or something, I've never had any overheating troubles at all.

[Fudge]

It's not. It's got plenty of room around it and has been there for nearly 3 years. I'm actually glad this happened because I can go to GAME on Saturday and swap it for a new one, aswell as buy Fifa 10 and Batman AA with money I just remembered I have on a store card. Woohoo.

If my XBox live Gold subscription is set to auto-renew on a bank card that is expired(on an account that is cancelled), what happens? Does it just fail to renew? Because I got an e-mail saying it had been renewed.

[Captain Eo]

Prepare yourself for a major headache.

If Xbox did indeed say it's been renewed they've processed the transaction through your previous bank. The bank will probably just send you a letter saying you made a payment through a closed account and send you a bill for the damage.

Xbox however is going to suspend your account with this fine message. When it happened to me it was a real bitch to get everything fixed. I called the Xbox support number and they said there was nothing they could do until a added another renewal option. Thus I only use prepaid cards now.

"Your account has been suspended due to a problem with your payment option. Please use a different payment option or update your current information in Account Management."

I tried removing the old bank card number because I was going to start using prepaid cards(they're cheaper and I think I actually get a discount on them through my job), but it wouldn't let me take it off. I figured it would just be declined because the card is expired.

[Captain Eo]

Had the same issue Mr. Storm.

If you just want to get the bank details off your account you have to call Microsoft. Seems like a burden, but I guess there's some logical reasoning for it somewhere. Surprised it didn't show up as declined. However, if the actual account is still open perhaps that's why. You r debit card can be expired and the account will remain open.

Holy shit, Maxx! Yay!

What made you want to trade in the PS3 for an Elite?

[King Ellis]

What made you want to pick up Operation Darkness? Horrible!

[Ruki]

Because it sounded like a fun game, and it is a fun game. Even though it got shit ratings (to be fair, the camera AND graphics are a bit shit), but it is fun. I tried the demo before, and wasn't amazed because it threw you into the heart of things without actually explaining anything.....

It's a fun game, and if you like nazi's, zombies, nazi zombies, and shooting people in a turn-based setting, get this game. Plus! You can play it on XBL somehow.

[Captain Eo]

Thank God for Ruki.

He's the Robin Hood of decent games you were told sucked but in all reality are just on the borderline of mediocre and horrid.

I went to that bank and closed the account in person some time ago. But I called Microsoft last night and according to the two guys I talked to, the renewal was cancelled and hadn't actually been taken out yet, so I should be good.

[Captain Eo]

Good mate ^_^

New Modern Warfare trailer is up and looks sick.
