If you're looking to buy an Xbox 360, I'd go to Game or Gamestation at the minute. They're doing the elite, plus Forza 3 & Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 for £199.99.

I spent all of yesterday running around Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Street and this was easily the best deal I found.


I FUCKING WENT AND GOT AN X-BOX YAY!




The only problem I have is that for some reason the picture shows on my piddly TV, but not on the main big TV.

You tried changing the settings via the dashboard?

[tr0tsky]

Erm, that I know not how to do.

Basically, the big TV plays our virgin digibox fine, and when I unplug that ting and put in the x-box the TV's not interested.

But on the piddler, it's all systems go.

Start your XBox up without a game in then press the middle button on your controller. Then scroll right and it's summat like system settings and there should be some stuff to mess around with regarding your telly. I run mine through a hdmi cable but used to have a lead going into my XBox which had a switch on it for HD telly's or otherwise so try that if yours is the same.

Nah telly isn't HD it's the three coloured plug thingies into the adaptor for scart.

Yeah but check the other end, i.e the end going into the XBox, and make sure it's not switched to HD (if the lead's like that).

That's what took me a good hour to figure out when I got my xbox. Always best start with the simplest solutions

Forza Motorsport 3 is ridiculously sick. Getting my box reincarnated tomorrow.

Good luck, blud.

Plus, although the online gaming features on PS3 were crappy, the gamers were alot more casual, laid back, pleasant to game with and, well, in touch with reality! XBox gamers, if i can generalise for a moment, are generally bad tempered, overly aggressive, developmentally impaired, racist, and happen to think that console gaming is actually an acceptable primary role for them in life.

Sounds like you're gaming on the Asia servers...

Nah there's no switch on the lead or where the lead goes into the console.

WTF is going on this is killing my experience.

You tried changing the settings in the dashboard yet?? Seem to remember summat about changing from 50hz to 60hz when I first got mine.
