Of course, old school games aren't as graphically impressive, and usually not as expansive, but somehow - at least to me - they were more captivating. Is this because gamers like me, who grew up having to use our imaginations rather than having FMV and CG shoved in our faces, simply appreciated old school gaming more? Is it a psychological thing - are we just reliving our youth with classic games? Or are "old school" games truly more fun and inventive? I have lots of opinions here but I'd really like to hear from the community first :) Home Console Gaming Mon, 06 Oct 2008 19:30:44 GMT Peter Redmer http://www.techlore.com/forum/thread/24098/Are-Classic-Video-Games-More-Fun/#discussion?src=forumtopic_rss http://www.techlore.com/forum/thread/24081/x-box-360/?src=forumtopic_rss Any idea of an easy fix, after 40 min it shuts down w/ 1/2 left side (facing it) red lights fashing, rumble controller continues to rumble, unit does not feel hot?????? any help..appreciated Home Console Gaming Thu, 02 Oct 2008 22:14:00 GMT 1person http://www.techlore.com/forum/thread/24081/x-box-360/#discussion?src=forumtopic_rss http://www.techlore.com/forum/thread/23921/Modded-Xbox-360-controller/?src=forumtopic_rss I need help on how i can i mod my controller so it can shoot faster or whatever it does :) Home Console Gaming Fri, 12 Sep 2008 14:57:08 GMT thesickness015 http://www.techlore.com/forum/thread/23921/Modded-Xbox-360-controller/#discussion?src=forumtopic_rss http://www.techlore.com/forum/thread/23651/linksys-network-adapter/?src=forumtopic_rss Alright, it worked, not always well with the regular xbox. I got my xbox 360 and had no problems connecting, worked fine. One day, i take it to a friend hook everything up. Change network settings and get on live at his house no problem. Take it home same thing works. Tryed to do this again, could not connect at his house, and could not reconnect at my house. When I test the connection, it fails on wireless network. Any ideas? I am in the process of getting the xbox brand USB adapter. But that could be awhile so any help is appreciated.

When I got home, I put the game in the x-box and a screen came up saying: Cannot read disc. Make sure it is a DVD, x-box game, or CD. (Not exact words.) Well, we took the game back to the store and they said they resurfaced it. So I brought it back home and tried to play, but it only said the same thing. The thing is, all of my other games work.

I'm looking at the XBConnect. I'm new to this stuff but I'm pretty handy with the computer. I'm a beginner at advanced network setup. Okay, my son is interested in this xbconnect. His friend downloaded it on his computer. Here's the problem... The computer is hooked via wired ethernet through our router. We don't use wireless. The computer doesn't have a wireless hookup and our whole network is wired. The XBOX 360 is hooked up through a wired connection as well in the same room. What is the configuration if we want to hook this up properly. The link to the configuration page doesn't work. Can I add an additional ethernet card into the computer and hook the xbox up to that? I'm just a little confused here. Please let me know.
