i've probably played it 7 times or so since I got it back around when E3 was, and it's already given me more problems than my launch one. i'm fed up with the POS. if it breaks agin and they dont give me a new one for free, i'm raising hell. it's just unnaceptable.
not to mention every damn game is getting delayed and there is nothing to look forward to until around october or november. and wtf ... where is SF2 that was promised first Q of 06?

Too bad the blood money graphics suck.
I use gameznflix.com, and have been happy with them. I've always heard Gamefly only has a distribution warehouse on the west coast, where gameznflix has 4 across the country. Only one game I rented failed to show up within 2 to 3 days.Originally posted by: PaulNEPats
Who here uses Gamefly? I decided to give it a whirl but I've heard they're pretty slow for turnaround time for people on the East Coast.
Lots of talk about backwards compatibility online today. We wanted to get to the bottom of it all, so we went right to the team working on the next back compat update. We hear directly from them that they're in the testing phase of another update, and it should be out in the next few weeks. We saw the list they're testing, and it looks like they're hoping to add at least a dozen titles.
Long before the launch, we thought we might hit a few dozen titles, and we all feel pretty good about the list of well over 200 titles on the back compat list today, including many of the games that you?ve asked for. You all have heard us say the work isn't simple. Many games did unique things to take advantage of the processing power of the Xbox, and that makes it difficult to emulate, especially when we then have to make new code work with existing (and future) compatible titles.
But rest assured, we're not done yet.
We know for a fact that there are lots of people who continue to care about backwards compatibility, including the "Emulation Ninjas" who are working full time on the updates. And those of us posting on this blog. And, of course, many of you.
Stay tuned for more information about the upcoming update?
I am happy to inform you that the highly-anticipated Xbox 360 Dashboard update will be released tomorrow morning beginning at 0200 PT (See what time this is in your time zone.) This free update contains some of your top requested features including background downloading, boot to dash and others for a total of over 125 new features and enhancements. Read more details from the press release on Xbox.com or see the complete list of features here. Xbox.com's Elle also has this story on the update.
While the update is being released at 0200 PT not everyone will receive it immediately. It can take up to four hours for a user to be prompted to receive this update, so please be patient. There is no way to speed up the process, every Xbox 360 will receive the prompt to upgrade sometime between 0200 and 0600 (or the next time you sign in to Xbox Live.)

What cables are you using? If its the component one then you're gonna probably have to buy an adapter unless your computer has optical or RCA in. If you're using the VGA cable, I was thinking that it comes with a cable to plug into your computer, although I'm not really sure.

FYI - The patch for Oblivion is coming out tomorrow so hit up Dorian now for as much as you can.
My 4-year old son took my Oblivion disc out of the Xbox so he could play Kameo. Now I can't find the Oblivion disc. I haven't disowned him........yet.
