Probably the cheapest you'll get it. JB had it for $79 not sure if that's still going on.

All these games from HK, are these with original covers? Are the covers in Chinese?

Can they be traded down the track for 3 for 1 at EB?

How many days for delivery at play-asia.com.

ebay is cheaper than play asia

The same ethernet cable I use to connect my pc to my router will be fine for the 360 right?

It depends.. it is a blue one or a red one ?

Dont whatever you do use a blue ethernet cable with the 360. It runs at a different frequency than the red cables and has been known to cause the infamous RROD for 360's !!

*apologies for re-posting, but i figured no one will read the closed thread, and would love an answer*

is there a way to search thread contents, not just thread titles? Cos i'm about to raise an issue i'm sure must have been discussed before, and my searching so far has been fruitless.

I was getting frustrated playing some Halo3 (poorly unfortunately) on my 360 (Halo 3 edition) and decided to switch to watch a DVD. I put the disc in and it all starts up but my screen went black but i still had sound. I'm connected using component cables to my Dell 2707WFP. The monitor menu said "there is no signal coming from your video source". Why not? I've watched dvd's on there before and haven't had this problem.

So far the only fix seems to be to flick the switch from HDTV to TV, but why do i have to do that? Even selecting the lowest 480p resolution (switch on HDTV) doesn't work.

Also, it's an aussie box, and aussie dvd which i thought were 576i but i'm getting 480p only. What's up? Am i just wrong there, are our dvds 480?

Dennis writes...

My mate messaged and said his mum has mailed his key! Hopefully tomorrow night I can raid his place (or the night after, depending on the mail), take his PS2 and relevant games and trade myself up for a $99 360!

THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!

As I said in the post above, let's all hear it for the three wise men (bodogbodog, ablecross and mjolnir)!!! Let get their auras brighter than the christmas star! a little bit of a festive joke there..

How's the EB in toombul for PS2 games (preowned)? They still got some?

i dunno, if you find out let us know tho, cos im planning on the toombal store too:D

I just updated my 360 to the December Update, does that update the backwards compatibility on my 360?

Are those trade in deals of which Scott L speaks available for 360 games?

Woo!
Phoned up Game today and they are accepting the $99 deal for the ps2 + 10 games! I Have 15 but I have a lot of popular ones so hopefully I Have 10 which they accept!

Where is the best place to pick up cheap ps2 games in Perth? EB? Cash Converters? Ex rentals from Block buster?

No, that will download when you first run a xbox-1 game.

There are a number of extras that are seperate downloads including;

* MCX (media center extender)
* backwards compatibilty
* Media support (ipod, mpeg4, divX, xvid)
* XNA

Innaloo?
The guy did not seem to happy about the deal :))

Did you ask him about the 4 ps2 games for $2 COD game? I felt a bit cheeky asking for both at once but i will ask him in person tomorrow. He said I need to bring in my games for them to scan to see if they are valid or not.

Yeah, right.

The "grey" cable should work fine. As should a blue cable. Or the red cable.
A red cable is generally a crossover cable (used to directly link one PC to another).
A blue cable is generally just a normal network cable (used between a computer and a modem / switch / hub / etc.)
I have no idea about a grey cable. Same as blue, I assume?

ViciousPotato writes...

Yep

I have a cross over cable that is yellow that we've used to cross link XBOX's - but I can't say I've used it as a straight connection to the lan

Just use a normal ethernet drop cable to make sure

Re the colour - if my cable is yellow do you think that means it's a feeling a bit off colour? :-)

I wonder how much I'd just get for Viva Pinata?
I haven't even put it in my new 360, don't think I care to either.

Hey guys i posted this in Part 6 but didn't get a response, I was wondering if anyone knew what the deal was with going to a new console.

My 360 finally carked it and is out of warranty. It's not 3 red light related so i'm not going to bother sending it back. I am considering getting the basic package as i already have the HDD and all the A/V cables. My question is what happens with my gamertag in terms of going to a new console? I'm not worried about save games as they are stored on the HDD. Is it an easy transition to the new console?

Sorry if this a lame question. I'd rather ask here and see everyones opinions.

Thanks in advance

dayun writes...

If that doesn't work, then you can recover it from xbox-live.

Hey guys, as I mentioned in the previous thread (6)
Cashed in on that Game deal tonight. got my PS3, so now I have both systems - wow, from no next gen consoles to 2 in a week (and a Wii possibly soon)
Crazy

Those trade in deals at game are crazy (4 games + 10$)
I got 2 PS3 games and a Wii game for 10$ plus the cost of 10 crappy Xbox games (overall, maybe 150$)

Sadly Mass Effect is not on their trade in / up list :( and no other X360 games interested me (enough to pay $)

Cool thanks for the response. Am i right in that you have to pay to recover your Gamertag? I think i tried doing it once and it asked for MS points. Anyone know about this?

If the gamertag is over 30 days old, you've lost it forever, I believe it has something to do with Microsoft being FLAPPING IDIOTS or something, but don't quote me on that one.

I actually called them Monday. The guy I spoke to begrudgingly agreed. He remembered me from the last deal and said "Why do you want another one???".

My problem is games, I don't think my mate has many and I don't want to get all the way to toombul and find out the EB is out of PS2 games (or at least cheap ones!)

My conosle was offline for over 5 months and never lost my gamertag, so beleive this is incorrect.

You dont have to pay to recover your gamertag it is just one of the options on the console. You only have to pay to change the gamertag to something else.

With www.play-asia.com, which version do you buy? USA or Asia? Normally most games come up with both options.

If your live account is disabled / cancelled for more than 1 month.
If you don't use it for 12 months but still PAY for it, no worries.

I had the same problem as you Scott and as frustrating as it is... thats just one of those silly rules.

Trust me.. if this is the worst thing that happens to you in life then you're not doing too bad. Maybe its time to accept that MS as a corporation has some silly rules and move on.

So what if I buy an Xbox 1 and put live on it?
EDIT, to clarify.

What if I purchase an Xbox 1 and try to recover my Xbox 1 live account then transition to 360?

Are there any decent aftermarket carry cases i can pile the 360 and all its wires controls etc into for regular domestic flights?

Going to get a 360 today hopefully pick up a pro pack sub $500.

Scott L writes...

Really?? That's not what I've heard.

I have to agree with Sunny, I've got live accounts (silver) that I don't use for months at a time (some probably haven't been used for 6 months) and they are all still fine.

With the xbox 1 things where different, but they didn't have a silver memberships then.

why on earth wouldnt you try and get it for 300ish with the $99 + ps2 + 10 game trade in deal?!?!

Scott L writes...

As long as it has been converted into the new 360 format, it will be fine. That is if you can recover the Xbox 1 live account. Recovering a xbox 1 live account is where the issue is....

Depends on the game, which game were u looking for? Usually the asian version is cheaper and often the aussie version. But you have to make sure there is a tick in the PAL box...

I have a few to order, including Orange Box, Gears of War, Crackdown, Virtua Tennis 3 and Timeshift.

So just make sure PAL is ticked.

What is the difference anyway? Covers are different? Asian version, covers are in asian not english? Manuals are in english?

Dennis writes...

Actually just look at only the region free section and you should be fine...

What is the difference anyway? Covers are different? Asian version, covers are in asian not english? Manuals are in english?

Depends on the game, some covers are different, others are aussie, best way to know is just look at the photo of the cover. Eg. Click on Orange box in that section linked and you will see that its got a japanese cover. The game itself will be fine and in english, but for that one manual may not be in english. Apart from Orange box and GOW, the others have english covers. Although you can buy the US version of those games too, but they are slightly more expensive but have english covers/manuals...

Hopefully its clearer now...

All I can tell you is that our GAME store there is a deal where you trade in 2 Wii/PS3 or 360 games and can choose from several games for $9.95. 360 games inc Assassin/Guitar hero 3 and some others. Can find out. Not sure what PS3 game as included. There is an exclusion list (different to the ones for the $99, 360 deal) on the GAME site. Will send link if you can’t find it.

They also have a PS2 Deal similar . $9.95 for some games (inc Smack Down 2008) for $9.95 if you trade in 4 Xbox/PS2 games.

And a PSP and DS deal same as 360/PS3 one.

I am off this afternoon to buy two 360 games second hand (25.00 each) and trade for Assasin for $9.95. Might get Guitar Hero 3 as well. Will cost me $120 for both games.

I have found games in our local pawnbrokers that are not on the exclusion list. Games are $25 EACH. So $50 + $10 to GAME = $60 per new game.

Is there a list of games which can be purchased with this trade in deal?

MrSlippyfist writes...

Did you have to trade in games to get this price?

Yes. I traded in 4 ps2/xbox games for a new xbox360 title. The deal is only available at GAME Windsor store. So I bought 8 ps2/xbox titles from a 2nd hand store for $64 total, and traded them in for AC and MassEffect.

Thinking of getting an xbox 360 but have a question.
How do you connect to xbox live? Most peoples phone lines seem to be nowhere near their TV nor is mine.
So does everyone use wireless adapter or is there another way to connect without needing the console to be near a phone jack?
My wii uses wifi which makes things easy.
I noticed the xbox wireless adapter, but it's 150 friggen dollars. I also read you can't use a usb adapter due to drivers, I already have one of those for my 2nd computer.

Some people just use really long ethernet cables.

I was thinking would i be able to place my wireless router in my lounge room, run from it an ethernet cable to my xbox and get wireless adaptors for my 2 pcs. Would this work? or does my wireless router have to be plugged into a pc?

TIP OF THE DAY : Just do what I did. Get a trial of Foxtel and as part of the installation they need to run a telephone line to behind the TV. Cancel it at the end of the trial and there you have a new phone socket ;)
It cost me $39.95 for 3 months full Foxtel and a new phone socket :)... oh and I still have the satellite on the roof too hahah

That's a really good idea:) I'd have to remove the satellite after the trial, they look horrid.
Problem right now with that idea for me is they will probably use my main phone line, my alternate phone line has my adsl on it. I'll look into getting it done anyway as internode are expanding their adsl2 coverage soon, hopefully it'll be in my area.
Also the deal on their website has a contract and fee for breaking the contract. Where did you get the offer from?

you could always do it through the rooff, but apparently this is illegal to do yourself.... I just bought a 50m cat5e cable from ebay for around $20 including postage.... ill consider my options when it arrives.

Well I ducked over to Toombul with my mate's old PS2 and his 9 games (only one on the exclusion list, but some on shaky ground (ie, Fifa 02'... not exempt, but 03', 04 etc are...)

Went to DSE for a $10 game, all on layby.

Went to EB games and went to get some $17.84 preowneds (was going to get 3 for 2)... Thought, "what the hell" and asked if they'd match the deal.

Sure they say.

So I bought ONE $17.84 game

They gave me $11 for the PS2 memory stick and $1 for the extra controller

They then gave me the $99 trade in deal.

Cost of Xbox 360 premium pack (Lot 742 with 175w power supply) came to $104.84...

I thought "what the hell" again and asked if they price match Big W's $58.84 controllers. Sure they said. So I picked one of those up too...

What a bargain! $164 for a 360 with an extra controller! Thank god my friend moved to Ireland!

he has a laptop that he connects to wirelessly

Im looking at purchasing a Xbox 360. The pro pack seems to be going for around $500 mark which is ok. Are there any other good deals out there? I dont have a PS2 to trade. Just wondering if its worth my while to try and find one second hand with 10 games?

Exactly... I have an Asus G1 laptop and I use it wirelessly. .. go the salary sacrifice for personal laptops.. about half price and no GST ;)

I have a house in QLD that has a raised timber floor so I could always run ethernet under the floor to another room if I really wanted to.

Get a used PS2 from eb for $90 and 10 games from eb for $137.50
