Now that is a thread I can get behind. Can't participate due to my unmanliness, but I did enjoy. We could fight for a special title of "Patchiest" or "Most Shameful".

I am planning on getting the limited edition of Halo 4. I am going to preorder it. Now they have announced the Limited edition of the new Halo 4 Xbox console that comes with a copy of the game. so will i have two copies of Halo 4? Are you going to buy both? The answer to that question answers yours. If you want the limited edition of Halo 4 and the 360 you will have 2 copies as the Xbox only comes with the standard edition.

Any PS3 exclusive, really. There's about 6 or so games that I would love to play that are PS3-only, but I really don't like the Playstation controller and have had a hard time justifying the price of the console for only 6 games. I would never say never, though, as Sony is being aggressive with the PS3's pricing and I'm about to start a new job on Monday that should give me some extra money. I don't plan on buying it anytime soon, though.

transfer all our Xbox live achievements, games, info and stuff onto the next-gen console. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do that, but you never know. Achievements likely wouldn't even need transferring since they're just on a server. Games gets trickier; that will depend more on what Microsoft does hardware-wise as far as supporting backwards compatibility. DLC will be dependent on the games, obviously, except for music games (they often have exorbitantly strict licensing). Save data seems possible too since Microsoft already has a system to transfer data from one system to another. All they'd have to do is make sure the next Xbox supports the 360 data transfer.

I think the next Xbox will come out in 2014 and I expect to see it at E3 next year. I think Microsoft is going to want to do a lot of what they did with the 360, meaning announce + launch the same year, so I think it'll be 2013, especially since Sony apparently is in rough enough of a financial state to prevent 2013 from being feasible for them. I'm hoping so. The Xbox seems to have been out for a long time now! Will it be HD/3D do you think? What do you mean by HD/3D? Of course it will be HD, the 360 is HD. With how negative the overall response has been to 3D, I think they'll support it like the PS3 does but it certainly won't be a mandatory feature of every game like HD is for the 360.

All you need to transfer your data is the transfer cable, the old hard drive, and the new 360. There are instructions all over for it. All of your data (with some exceptions like installed disc games) will come over. However, in order to play with any of the content offline, you'll have to do a license transfer. A pass code is to prevent other people from signing in with your XBL account. It's kinda unnecessary unless that's actually a problem in your current living arrangement.

You can use any generic USB stick just in case you didn't know, the xbox will format it to it's own memory storage holder thing(terrible description i'm sorry) Just be aware that if you do this that formatting means wiping the drive clean, so be sure to get any important data off of the stick before doing it.

I find I enjoy playing ranged healers the best. You stay out of the mess and you still get your share of the loot without getting your ass kicked as much. Of course then you get griped at by every Rambo who gets himself killed as he tries to solo a boss. If you find a good party, they'll yell at the Rambo, and not you. Trust me, I learned how to play my class well after getting chewed out on a few Flashpoints for playing like an idiot. If you like Star Wars enough that you're interested, I think it's worth your time. They have some interesting stories to tell in SWTOR and they have the novelty of Mass Effect-style conversations in an MMO.

I played it for about a month and quit when it started to get too grind-y for my tastes. The reason why everyone says they're eventually going free to play is because of the free trial. They adopted that deal faster than any other MMO out there (I believe) and that does not give a good impression on EA/Bioware's feeling on SWTOR's performance.
I played a Sith Marauder, which in MMO terms is a Melee DPS character. For the time that I enjoyed the game overall, I enjoyed playing that character.

So, I have to pay to play online? Impossible to do that without having the gold card? Oh, and +1 for taking time to reply. Correct, if you don't pay for the Xbox LIVE Gold subscription, you don't get to play online (or use Netflix, HBO Go, Hulu Plus, etc.). On the whole, Xbox LIVE is a best-in-class service, so I'd argue it's worth it. They occasionally do free weekends where every Xbox LIVE Free member gets Gold functionality. Games used to come with 48 Hour trial codes, but I don't think they do anymore.

Hi there. I have just bought an XBOX 360. Seems like it's one of the most recent series. I don't have buttons but I just need to touch (not sure about the word, but tactile? with haptic perception). Anyways. I don't know how to use it properly besides playing. By properly, I mean the Live services/options. What is that? What can I use it for? How to use it? Thanks to anyone who will help me. Xbox LIVE is Microsoft's online service. In order to play online (or use any of the many apps available for the 360) you must have Xbox LIVE Gold, which is $60 a year. You do not have to have Xbox LIVE Gold to download add-ons for your games, though many of those add-ons require you to pay for them. For more in-depth info, this page at Xbox.com should help.

Yeah, I'm not sure what the deal is either. This seems exclusive to WF because I can visit other proboards at 2 AM without any notification of backup maintenance. Very annoying. The functionality is clearly from Proboards, not WF. I imagine they have everything on a staggered schedule and most of the boards they backup aren't as old or popular as WF so there's less to backup.

Also, I'm fairly certain backwards compatibility requires the 360 hard drive. You say he has an Arcade 360. Does he have a hard drive?

Has anybody downloaded this yet today? I can't believe 1.85GB for a new cutscene when Dawn Guard for Skyrim is only 600mb. Keep in mind that the full Skyrim game is less than 5GB, while Mass Effect 3 is 2 7.9 GB discs. The games are built significantly differently, and I'm quite sure that Skyrim has zero out-of-game cutscenes, which ME3 has plenty of (and the EC DLC brings more than one and makes other changes). Spoilers in white: I think that many of the changes, on the whole, make the endings better. However, some of the explanations seem largely unnecessary. I didn't need any more explanation about the Catalyst, origin of the Reapers, etc.

aliens? what? i hope that isn't the focus of the next game. sr3 was too over the top compared to sr2 for my tastes. I don't think SR4 is going to get less over the top. SR3 was very successful for THQ.

If you have a Barnes & Noble nearby, I'd try bringing in there and talking to someone face-to-face about it.
