don't rub it in

Anyone else played Deadlight on xbox live? It's pretty good.

[Placebo]

I played the trial and thought it was ok, apparently it's really short and linear so I won't be buying it.

[Carl]

Played the demo and was like, meh, not worth 1200 points.

I will go play more of Shadow Complex for a side on type adventure that has better controls I think.

[jaygrim]

As Mr P said it was pretty short, not worth 1200 points.

Anybody from the Middle East have an Xbox and buy Microsoft points? I want to buy some from the web and not from live. Is this possible?

I can only see us, uk and Europe points when I search. What do people use in other countries?

I have a UK Xbox and gamer tag and my card isn't working on live for some reason, so I need a site where I can buy points that I can use in Israel. I can't find anything by searching on the web?!

If you want I'll buy say 4200 EU Xbox live points from Ebay and send you the code, if it works you send me the money over paypal, if it doesn't work I'll just use them myself? It's about £28, not sure what that is in Isreali shekels

Cool that is very nice of you, I can pay in pounds 😃

[Placebo]

Ok will find the best deal and buy them now, will have the code probably in an hour or two at max, will you still be around then? No idea what time it is in Israel

[BobbyBox]

Yep I will be around, it's 10am here at he moment, cheers matey!

[Placebo]

I went with a seller who does 4000 points for £27.99, there's a couple that advertise very slightly cheaper but I bought from this one last week myself so I know he sends the codes by email and I know he's reliable, do you have skype/msn by any chance? We can continue there if so

[BobbyBox]

Yep I will send you my msn email

[Placebo]

Hurry up I have your code now

Guys - having a bit of noise come from the Xbox when I load up a game. Put on the PES full game and it sounds like the fan is spinning at full speed and it stays like this for a little while but then stops. No performance impact though and everything is ok. Also get that noise if I load up the FIFA demo which is on my hard drive but there's no DVD being used, obviously.

Any idea what it could be? It has the same sound as when you exit a game back to the dashboard and it's loud for a moment, but in this case, the loudness doesn't stop for over a minute.

p.s. Could it be the hard drive as I've also heard a bit of grinding/clunking? It's an Elite version (maybe 120 gig?) and the HDD is about half full.

[Placebo]

When you play the Fifa demo do you have a DVD in the drive? If not then it's probably the cooling fan inside the 360 maybe?

[CalcioCalabrese]

Yeah when I load up the FIFA demo I still have the PES disc in the tray. I could try without a disc in the drive.

[Placebo]

I would suggest that as it should identify if the problem is overheating or overspinning

[CalcioCalabrese]

Yeah - although it's weird since it stops after a minute or two but if it was overheating or spinning too much wouldn't it do it all the time. Hrmmmm.

[CalcioCalabrese]

Ok - I took out the disc and booted up the FIFA demo. No noise. Put in Grand Theft Auto disc and booted it up, no noise. Played that for a while and then put in the PES 2013 disc. Booted the game up and the noise was back lol. Stops after a minute or so. The game is installed to my hard drive so I'm not sure if it's that disc or what. No other problems after the initial noise.

[Placebo]

Your 360 is probably rebelling because of the game you're trying to make it play

Perhaps try uninstalling PES, doing the clear cache thingy then reinstalling, probably won't help but can't hurt!

[CalcioCalabrese]

I was waiting for a joke

Yeah I might try uninstalling and running straight off DVD...then clearing the cache. Worth a shot.

[Tim7]

Maybe there's a slight scratch/problem with the disc? Even though games install to the xbox HDD, the console still has to verify that the correct retail disc is actually in the machine before it runs it.

[CalcioCalabrese]

Thanks Tim - I'll neeed to check it. Hopefully not, since it's only 2 weeks old. If there was a problem though, I think games come with a 3 month warranty from defect don't they?

[jaygrim]

Does that mean we can all take Fifa back?

[jaygrim]

My kinect has stopped working for some reason. Just get a red light on it and nothing happens. The green light has gone off the power lead too.

[Jamesy]

Ours did that just before Christmas last year, and had to send it back to Microsoft.
Once they received it they sent out a new one, but took a deposit. That way if the original one wasn't defective they'd charge you for a new Kinect (bit crap, but luckily mine was knackered). Once they tested it & found it was broken they refunded it.

Thanks, can't see a kinect option tho.

[Jamesy]

If you click on "Start A Repair" & sign in, you should be able to register your Kinect (if you haven't already), and then select "Request A Repair"

Just copied the page link, hopefully it'll work for you:
