Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
NXE, That new Xbox Dashboard Thing?
Posts
I need someone to put points cards on sale. When looking at my past transactions, pre-NXE I purchased only Rock Band songs and Rez. That was it.
Since NXE, I've purchased Uno, a theme, a gamerpic and will now be getting Dig Dug. It's way too easy to spend what looks like "fake M$ funbux!" and then wonder why I have no real money weeks later.
:sadface:
Check a local Circuit City that's going out of business? Maybe they still have some. (They were 10% off a week or two ago.)
You're muckin' with a G!
People who previously didn't even know the Xbox had this sort of content now have it right there when they turn it on.
You know what else I'd do? I'd buy a Blu-Ray drive for my Mac just so I could rip BR movies and stream them to the 360 in a strange extremely ironic sort of way.
There's a Mac forum I frequent that goes over the basics of doing it properly. I'd get a TB external HDD and just load it up.
So when I got my new XBox, I sold my roomate the old one. I used my memory card to move my saves and stuff over, and then used the DRM tool and re-downloaded all my XBLA games and DLC. I tested it all by unplugging live and it still worked, so I was good to go. I gave my roomate the XBox, but didn't delete the DLC and XBLA games because I didn't see the need to - I had used the DRM tool to switch console licenses, and my profile wasn't on that HD anymore. Nor would he have XBox Live when he moved.
So I see him last night after the move, and gave him for Christmas the Fable 2 Pub Games. He wanted the hat, headband and moustache and I figured since he'll get the internet back someday, he could use it then. I had the Pub Games when we lived together, and he was mad I got completionist and he didn't. He tells me he doesn't need Pub games because MY copy still works on his XBox. He also thanked me for Rez.
I thought the DRM tool would make it so the licence to the console changed? So even if you use the DRM tool, the console you originally purchase it on gets to use it, no matter what the gamertag is?
I don't know why you thought using the DRM tool would automatically disable previously downloaded content since it had already been 'tagged' as valid on the original 360. Unless they have it set up to where the old 360 logs in, attempts to validate the license, and then it's turned off because the license has been moved, all old content should work without issue.
The DRM license transfer is so that you can use content you've purchased even whilst offline on what is considered a different console.
You're muckin' with a G!
Blu-ray Discs currently have 2 layers at 25GB each, so about 45 to 50 GB maximum capacity, depending on how you count it. When making an ISO of a Blu-ray Disc movie, you'll find they don't necessarily fill the disc to absolute full, it could be 5 or 10, etc., GBs less. (Also, there are single-layer 25GB-only BDs. Movies tend to be on BD50s, but not all of them.)
And yes, if you play ISOs of your Blu-ray movies, like from a PC used for home theater functions, you will probably need some extra hard drive space.
But I wouldn't play the direct ISO, I'd encode it into whatever the HD varient of MPEG4 is.
I guess Im more upset because he's enjoying Rez, Pub Games, ect... while I don't have access to the stuff he purchased (we split XBLA games while we roomed), because it's never been on my console. I was exaggerating, I really don't care, I was just surprised.
I really did think the DRM tool disabled non-Live content on the original box and transferred it to the new box. I figured with how nuts Microsoft is about DRM, they wouldn't want more than one box to be able to share content. It was surprising just because had I known that earlier, there was a million ways we could have downloaded and purchased stuff so that BOTH of us would end up with full working copies (basically buy all the stuff under my tag, he physically pays me back for it, and then I do what I did with the DRM tool on a new box). It's just funny how trying to do it fairly here at home (We alternated who bought games we were both going to play), wound up giving him a ton of stuff free - which I know is against everything MS stands for.
But I was exaggerating, but really did think the DRM tool disabled use on the original console.

Earlier in the thread we had a huge discussion about not discussing this.

So the other people in there are your friends or something? I don't recognize any avatar except mine.
Also, the avatars are all painfully gay looking (not that there's anything wrong with that). My girlfriend says mine looks like a lesbian with a beard. They all have small girlish shoulders and skinny arms & legs. It would have been nice to give us some controls so that you could be a tad more masculine instead of all looking like pre-teen girls.
I understand that there are limits to cut down on resources, but how hard would it have been to adjust shoulders, hips, and leg lengths? I think I'd rather have a Mii than look like a rejected Bratz doll.
It could with 100 megabit or gigabit easily.
Ah fair dues.

Yes. You can connect the drive directly to the 360 and it'll work. I don't know if it'll route through the Mac, though, because as far as I know the 360 shares the WMP11 Library.
If you can get a small .avi file you can see about trying to configure it to stream to 360, if hooking the drive up to it straight is a big deal for some reason. Also you can't save any 360 data onto that drive, obviously.
EDIT: Just played it, and it's not even good. The Draw Four is now a Draw Until You Get A Skip or Reverse, and that's the only change except the sound effects.

You know what makes a game fun? When you take the already simple rules and then start adding shit to it just to fuck with everybody else. It's not quite Calvinball, but you paid for the privilege. (280 pts too... What a rip!)

Unfortunately Connect360 doesn't work at all for me, but it used to on my old Mac.

Nope. Can't be done.

So, no.
That wouldn't be nearly as painful if they would only bring out some games that are worth the money they insist on charging. I would give my left nut for a port of Munch's Oddessy - but noooo. Let's port Zapper over. Pricks.
