Hey freeola,

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to separate the Xbox 360 cheats into 2 sections (or change 360 cheat conditions) as people tend to post a whole list of achievements in the cheats section, even though they aren't cheats. A lot of what is posted can actually be found through the 360 guide button and it just seems a waste of space publishing them - and money for you as people have won GADs for it.

What I would suggest, is if people do post the achievements, either write a guide on how to obtain ALL of them (i.e. walkthrough) or post it as a cheat explaining how to get it to unlock, rather than the conditions of an unlock.

Sorry if I've confused anyone, but if any of the staffies are 360 fanatics/users, you may understand.

I only ask as when I see a cheat for a game, I'm often a bit put out to find it's ony a list of achievements.

Cheers

It's more of a fact to do with the cheat submitting than the console itself. Again, somebody won a GAD for submitting content copied directly from the 360 guide button during a game.
