Online Consoles Follow-up
As a follow-up to some material covered in episode seven of our podcast, here are a couple quick bits of information and reading: – At E3, Microsoft announced that they had one more title to bring over to “Xbox Originals”… and then it’s done. We can probably safely assume that no more software updates will…

Xbox 360 License Transfer Issues – Resolved
That was a pretty easy fix. My Xbox 360 license transfer issues have been resolved, and it legitimately took nothing more than a simple phone call. I received a follow-up voice message two days later, as promised, letting me know that the license transfer was still being worked on, but it would be resolved soon…

Xbox 360 License Transfer Issues
Hey. In the new house. Let’s blog, again. So as you may have read on the site and heard on the podcast, I received a replacement Xbox 360 last September. I did not have a single problem since then (knock on wood). I went through all of their directions and re-downloaded items from my “Download…

Xbox Live Experience: Classic “TMNT” With Friends
Yesterday, our buddy Kevin coordinated a cross-country gaming date for the evening over Twitter. Myself, Andrew, Kevin, and our buddy Ryan all joined up for a little play-through of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles classic arcade game over Xbox Live (10:30 pm eastern time, 7:30 pm western time). Seems like an easy enough recipe for…

Thank goodness I can disconnect!
So I had finished editing some stuff and wanted to burn it off to CD-R for transferring around. Don’t have Nero installed on this computer, and turns out I don’t really have anything installed over here for advanced burning. OK, no problem. I’ll just go grab CDBurnerXP, since I don’t need anything all that special.…

More “Rock Band” DLC Problems…?
So this morning I tried to download another one of those songs that I’ve been dying for and drowning in anticipation for: “Under the Bridge” by a certain band with Chili Peppers that may or may not be Red Hot. Note that I’m not really the biggest RHCP fan in the world. In fact, I…

360 Woes: Update #5 (Final…?)
So my 360 is finally back. Insert huzzah upon huzzah here. They tried delivering it on Tuesday to the future-in-laws’ place, but no-one was home, so right back on the truck for the next day it went. Thankfully, someone was going to be home all day the following day, and it was indeed scheduled for…

360 Woes: Update #4
Holy crap! I checked early this afternoon, and Microsoft’s customer service / repair site said they hadn’t even received my console yet. Log in tonight, and what do I see? Completely skipped step #3 (“Device received at service center”), and went right to step #4 (“Device shipped to customer”). This is either a wonderful or…

360 Woes: Update #3
Before I get into the meat of this post, please note that when episode three of the podcast first went up, it accidentally had a random 10 seconds of silence before we read e-mails. It was corrected and reuploaded within half-an-hour of its initial posting, so in case you’re looking for a fixed version… it’s…

360 Woes: Update #2
So while I was picking Jeff up at the train station today, I received a voice message from “Joe” at Xbox customer support telling me that there was a problem with getting the box out to me, and that I would need to call them back to iron out these difficulties. Being that it’s been…
