I think my 360 is heading for a breakdown in the not so distant future. Half of the time the tray eject button doesnt open the tray; it clicks but I have to push the tray for it to spring back and open lol It just doesnt seem as good as it used to but thats probably due to the summer hols and weather

What post?


My 360 decided to show the 3 red lights 2 days ago, but thankfully it was only a power brick fault.. Useless piece of american crap.

Im getting a ps3 & wii i think.

could be subnet masks, and stuff trying to use same IP. make sure you set settings on xbox to detect automatically. (this is technical post in non-technical jargon cos im stupid )

Oh and does your modem have the internet on permanently or do you have to login on the pc to start the internet?

Bit of a tricky bugger that, i think you get an error message and code on the xbox live test? if so, just search that on the net...

Or.. Disable the firewalls on your computer, as that can sometimes prevent the 360 from connecting.

Speedtouch modem is a bit simple ain't it? All i can suggest is running the test again, take note of the error code, and research it on the net.

i have orange broadband & it's not gone wrong and i've had it for 3 years now.

but apparently im in a good area & get 8.4meg speed..

theres one good thing u have seen now..

Im conteplating getting the 360 but after seeing this list I think I might be getting the ps3, what do you think of it:

No power brick - Depends where you're putting the console. Yes, it's a relatively big adapter, but not at all hard to hide away with the rest of the cables from the TV..depending on setup of course
Very quite compared to the 360 - One of the major flaws of the current 360s, though the new revision with HDMI making its way to stores soon is rumoured to be quieter
Wonderful up scaling DVD playback - The 360 does as well, though you do have the fan noise still
Wi fi and Bluetooth built in - Depends if you actually need these; I don't, but useful if you do I guess
Wireless controllers have built in charge kits - But the batteries are not removable so more hassle when they die eventually. I think I read Sony will replace the controllers free of charge when the battery dies though...don't quote me on that one though
Full 1080p support - Debatable how useful this actually is; the 360 can upscale to 1080p, though no games are rendered at that level of detail
Blu-ray built in out of the box - Useful feature if you want high-def movies and is cheaper than buying a standalone player, but a fair chunk of the PS3's large price tag is down to this, so an expensive addition if you only want to play games
Free online gameplay - Another plus point, but Live! isn't that expensive; about £3.30 a month or half that cost if you buy a years sub from eBay
Cell processor - So...?
Reliable - Time will tell, but it does indeed seem more reliable than the current crop of 360s, though the new revision should sort the existing problems
