Not sure if they changed their policy recently, but if it's just the expiration date that's off, it probably won't stop the transaction from going through. They charged one of my expired cards several times. As long as the account number hasn't changed, maybe just run it and save yourself a phone call. Otherwise, you may have to add a new payment method in order to delete that card and then re-enter it.

I'm still having the problem where when I turn my mic on in a Xbox Live Party, I get disconnected from XBox Live. It's really p*ssing me off now. It has only done it since the update a few weeks back and I haven't even heard of anyone else having the same problem.

Go to someone elses house and see if it happens there, if it does get a new Mic.

Has anyone heard of "Combat Arms"? I saw some gameplay on youtube and it looks like CoD but only sh*tter graphics. (It's from 2008 I think??)

Still kept giving me a bad error and I wanted it to download during the night so I just said f*ck it all and put on my PayPal account since it was way easier. I tried talking to one of those Ambassadors though at midnight and they weren't around so I saved myself some hassle.

It annoyed the sh*t out of me though since MS themselves had to send me those ''we don't know this PC you are using, we are sending your phone a code'' bullsh*t twice throughout the process. I've always used this damn PC.

A few days ago I posted on an issue I had regarding what games I should get for my XBOX. Just to recap I'm not taking my 'box' to college so I have one final month with it until December (I'm going to college in another continent) so I wanna enjoy this "in style". I ended up getting RDR and FIFA 12 (once again, 13 comes out in September so i decided to get 12). Any tips on what I should do with those two games once I get them? Order is only gonna get here on the 23RD when the new FIFA batch comes into the store's warehouse. My plan is to go through the RDR story quickly (even though I don't know how long it is exactly) and take small breaks with FIFA.

Personally I love the new tactical defending. I tried out the demo and got hooked on it. I used to buy all FIFAs for the PC when I was a kid until 08, and this is just exciting for me because it is such a great game.

Another new Xbox bundle to celebrate Halo 4.

I think this one is really cool. I seem to say that about most of them though
I hope they release the controller separately because its awesome. Even seems to have a blue LED light in the middle instead of the standard green, And so does the power button on the console itself.

[Seddo]

How does that console even relate to Halo?, what is it supposed to look like?

What's with the blue and white lines, it looks like when kids dip paint brushes in paint and then flick the brush at the paper.

In all fairness you havent played the game yet lol the pattern could be anything from a menu screen to a custom suit you can unlock.

If they released a Matrix one for example before the film we would all think "Whats with these sh*tty green numbers all over it?" But after seeing the film, we know what the numbers mean.

Maybe it will become clear soon, who knows.

Christ, that is one ugly console.

[Seddo]

@tms_junk, I suppose that is true .

Looks pretty cool in an abstract graffiti sort of way, i'll have to wait then for the Halo connection.

Gotta disagree with you. I really like the the splatter and drip effects.

My question is are people still buying new consoles? With the next gen just right around the corner and all. Unless you are just joining the console world or you need to replace a broken one, I honestly can't see any reason to buy a fancy dressed console that is going to be referred to as 'last gen' pretty stinking soon.

That's like saying don't buy a PC because the system you buy is ''last gen''

Seriously though, there has been no hard material stating when the new consoles are going to be released. Sure they might be ''right around the corner'' but to me that means in a year or more. Still, people might not want the next gen since they'd have no idea what kind of games will be out for it or even how much the console will cost. I'm pretty certain once these next gen consoles come out to market I wouldn't be able to afford it even after selling my 360...but there are little things called credit cards haha. Just think of all those parents who just bought their kids 360's for Christmas at the end of the year, then having them wanting those new consoles. The joy!

On the design of that 360 its too busy for my liking. Still each to their own and all that jazz.

But isn't that how it always works in the PC realm? . If you stay up on stuff then it is pretty much just piece meal to keep your PC at current gen standards. Slap the latest video card in and stuff like that.

Consoles are closed systems so you are forever stuck in whatever generation is current.

I don't really follow the console market and news, but I really thought we were going to start seeing the next generation of consoles in 2013...?

[Rebel]

I've really no idea when the new consoles are going out, like you I don't keep up with news. It will be nice however to see some new ones and I again have the choice to buy MS or Sony. From what I know, MS are pushing some other sh*t instead of the new generation console at the minute or will be pushing some new stuff in the future.

Anyone know if I can change my old hotmail (Live account) that is registered to my LIVE into my new Gmail e-mail. If I'm not mistaken you are forced to have a Windows live account by Microsoft but is there a way to bypass that?

[papanesta]

So yeah, the new update beta was announced, and full within two hours.

[glenn tha killer]

Oh god, I hate updates. I loved the very, very first XBL or the one when Fable 2 was just about to come out. God dam curse Lion head, they f*cked with the old version.

[fgcarva1]

I would actually participate in this BETA, just for the hell of it, but in less than 24 hours they have had enough BETA testers... and signing an NDA would suck.
