"Has anyone had any problems with their XBOX as yet?"

Hi there,

I was just wondering if anybody has had any problems with their Xbox as yet?

In the light of what happened in Japan, I'm just wondering whether microsoft has managed to sort it all out?

regards

SINFIELD

That scratching stuff was just blown well out of proportion. There really isn't anything to worry about.

I just checked under strong light and there are very faint lines on the bottom of my Rallisort Challange disc. The game still runs perfectly so it not worth worrying about. What more strange is that my xbox version of Max Payne and Halo don't have the faint lines or at least very few. Why does one game have marks and the others do not? I think it may be that Halo and Max Payne dont load very often thus the disc doesn't have to be read.

Notice im not using the word scratches as they really are much too faint to be describled as that. If this is what all that fuss was made over the Japenise launch than I don't believe it. The games still work perfectly.

Yep there are fan noises but its very quite. I turned on my PS2 today for the first time since getting the Xbox. The PS2 controller felt rubbish. The buttons felt all wrong, it was horriable. Tekken Tag is a joke compared with DOA3. Also the PS2 was alot noiser than the Xbox.

If I remember right I think I'm on the third season of PGR's kudos mode. No problems at all for me - maybe you should take the game back and get it changed for another PGR.

:-)

By the way, has anyone tried their own tracks on the games yet ? I have and it fits in nicely ! :-) In PGR, they still put the radio bits inbetween your own music. :-))

project gotham racing crashed out alot! Couldn't open up the third season of races, in Kudos Mode, due to crashing!! Anyone else noticed this?

Amped is the dogs bo@$ox! Not problems at all

I think you mean Jan Lee. :-) I use him a lot cause he does the same martial arts style as me. ;-))

Have to agree with you - excellent ending. Very Bruce Lee if I do say so myself. ;-)

no problems here :)

it's all a-ok ;)

the graphics are absolutley amazing :)
i completed story mode on DOA3 last nite with that Chinese bloke. can't remember his name but he has brown spikey hair and he's well muscley. if u aint seen this cut scene..it's amazing! it's superb! it's almost like watching a DVD! that's the only way i can explain it. i think DOA3's gonna take me some time to get used to all the moves. i'll have to pick one character and stick to them. cause there's too many moves to remember each character's

No problems at all. :-) Everything is working perfectly and being cained by me day after day. ;-))

As for Your Honours comment, they probably don't like westerners muscling in on their country's territory, that being the videogames industry of course. ;-)

One thing I've thought of:

How come there were no mentions of scratched discs after the US launch?

I just wonder why Japan complained about it, but the US didn't.

Weird...
