Title: Xbox360 problem Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, November 15, 2006, 22:10:04 Richy boy has a problem with his xbox it seems. But only with Pro Evo 6. The game loads fine but when you go to play a match it says the disc is unreadable try cleaning the disc and restarting. Yesterday we tried cleaning the disc and also used a laser cleaner disc thing I have. Then today he swapped his game for a new disc (still pro evo 6).
The same thing is still happening. Tried deleting the saved game data (in case it was corrupt) and all the other games he has are fine. Any sensible ideas, or has anyone else had a similar problem? Title: Xbox360 problem Post by: DV on Wednesday, November 15, 2006, 22:15:15 xbox360 is shit

Get in contact with Microsoft and they will replace it. Title: Xbox360 problem Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, November 16, 2006, 19:13:21 I liked pro evo on the xbox but the controller always put me off a bit. The 360 controller has the 2 buttons on the shoulder so it's all gravy.
That new Nintendo thing looks shite and Wembley will be open by the time the PS3 is out. PCs are where it's at though kids. Title: Xbox360 problem Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, November 16, 2006, 19:19:20 OK Richy boy borrowed his mate's disc and that one works on my bro's xbox. Then my bro tried his copy on his mates xbox and that works.
The discs look different too. On the bottom side of the disc (the bit with no print) there are a couple of thick shiny rings on part of the disc. This isn't so on his mates copy. Seems fucking strange to me. I think his xbox is haunted Title: Xbox360 problem Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, November 16, 2006, 20:20:02 Quote from: "simon pieman" I liked pro evo on the xbox but the controller always put me off a bit.

Nothing to do with the games, I played loads of n64 last year, it has some quality games. But just look at the wii. It looks like it might live up to it's name. Those remote thingies look too weird.

Quote from: "simon pieman" It'll flop like the gamecube In all fairness though, the gamecube was never a flop, it was a massive hit with the underground animation gamers, but unfortunately with the advance in technology and graphics it was never going to keep up with shop sales of rivals of Sony and Microsoft. I think the Wii will cater to all those underground kids that yern to keep in touch with the old machines and games, but want to be able to try their hand at a few more modern games too - perfect combo. My only concern, and it was the same with the cube, is that their main game pitchers are simply not as good as the rest of the market. I mean Zelda? gone and past it I'm afraid, and thus they are left to pick up the younger market with their endless kids animation games. If they want to succeed, as they know they cant compete with the Sony and Microsoft brand power when it comes to games like GTA etc, then they had to release something a bit different - that they certainly have! I hope that its a massive hit, but even if it isnt - I still think they have done well to have the balls to be different, unlike the samey progression that Sony and Microsoft keep coming out with, becuase they are scared that they will fall behind if they dont keep pace with each other!

Ok, i can kind of see the point of the sword - and maybe the tennis since playing in the privacy of your own home means no one can see you playing such a gay excuse for a sport.

However, as I said before, now a days its all about graphics etc. It appears to me Nintendo are going back to basics and are focusing on game play of their games rather than anything else. If they can do that games like Zelda and Mario will be great....

Don't see as they had much choice. Continue to be dominated by Sony and MS and whither away, or come out fighting in a do or die effort. Agree with DV regarding gameplay. Case in point, EA Sports Fifa v Kick Off 2. The latter wins hands down in 2 player mode for gameplay, yet it looks like a bag of shit graphically.

Financially wise Nintendo are doing better in the gaming market than both Sony and Microsoft. They have the hand held market cornered with the DS, the only thing the PSP is good for is some home brewed stuff and Sony for some reason go out there way to stop it. Microsoft loose money on all their consoles but are trying to get a foothold. Sony is initially selling the ps3 for less than it costs them to make. In fact I'm sure if you look up there expected profit it's down about 96%. If your gonna get a ps3 then I'm sure it'll have some fun games. But then what's come out on the xbox 360 which hasn't come out on other consoles in a less prettier version? Do you really care if your character in Gta 7 and 1/2 looks slightly more realistic, are they changing the game enough to make in more interesting than the last, probably not, at best the cities will be slightly bigger. Anyhoo, fair shout to Nintendo for going for something different, a control system around an idea of being versatile and fun instead of just getting prettier graphics for your latest sports/driving/gangster fps game. Of course, Nintendo have their faults, they've previosuly been very strict about liscensing games for their systems. Apart from the cost of cartridges, one of the main reasons that the playstation one did better than the n64. There was a lot of crap released for psx but at least they let anybody have a go. It'll come down to the wether or not Nintendo have done the Wii at he right time. Are people fed up of the same games with slightly better graphics yet? are they willing to give up the latest fifa / proevo for a crazy Nintendo golf / soccer where you swing your controller around like a moron? Who knows. I'm sure there are enough people out there with money to burn to want to rince out their pockets on a ps3. But I'm sure I'd proably have more fun with a Wii. Also you can play old Snes games. Finally a Europe release of Chrono Trigger? Meh. [/geeky rant] anyhoo, sorry about that.

agree but even your arguments show the 360/wii to be flawed Title: Xbox360 problem Post by: The Grim Reaper on Saturday, November 18, 2006, 07:12:07 As a once Sony Playstation Loyalist who has recently purchased an Xbox 360 I have to say the 360 is superb in every way and miles ahead of the PS2 in just about every category. To be honest I have given up on the thought of buying a PS3. It looks like its going to be a white elephant. Yes, Sony will sell loads purely from loyal customers, but I think it will fail to live up to its billing. Once again on TV this morning I see there are production problems and a lot of them already sold in Japan have been returned with faults. Also when it was compared with the Xbox 360 graphically there was no difference.
Sony have made a pigs ear of the PS3 so far and I'd love to know what is being said in the boardroom of Sony for letting Microsoft getting a year's headstart on them! The big problem for Sony now is that Microsoft have already stated that they have been working on the replacement for the 360 for the last 12 months and will hit the shelves within 2 years from now. Title: Xbox360 problem Post by: Spud on Saturday, November 18, 2006, 12:48:17 ^^^ agreed.
Ive seen a video of Tiger Woods 07' for both xbox360 anmd PS3 and they look identical. Title: Xbox360 problem Post by: Simon Pieman on Sunday, November 19, 2006, 14:55:30 Faulty disc to blame. Went into game and he said they've had a few like that, go back to Asda and get them to swap it for you (again).
I don't think they actually swapped it the first time round, but if you ever buy a game with a thick ring around the disc (looks like a scuff/scratch) it's faulty. It's not the same as when people have titled their xbox whilst it is on, because that scratches the disc really bad. |
