^ I think there is a problem with the converter... try using something else with it...

dude, i bought a new converter, still getting those flashing lights in red. It couldn't be a RROD could it? it was working fine there :/

 

[Majawar]

Try the converter with any other 360......If the result is same then you know what to do.

Get the red lights again.. The red lights have a message behind em you can decode it..

When the next time the RROD occurs.. follow this procedure:
1: Hold up the Sync button and press eject.. Note down the number of lights
2: Do it again
3: Again
4: Again

Now if you do it again it'll go back to the 3 lights.. DO NOT LEAVE the sync button .. hold it up all the way..
Every 4 times you press eject the number of lights change..
4 Lights = 0
3 Lights = 3
2 Lights = 2
1 Light = 1

Line up the code in the order of the lights you saw.. and then post it here or message me..

Example.. You get a four light, four light, 2 light, 4 light that means you have 0020.. Which I once got when I had power issues and my Xbox 360 went mad for a while.. Lol.. It meant Possible Overheating.. But it was a different matter.. My 360 was confused thats all..

[NOTE: This is only if you have 3 lights flashing, Which means General Hardware Failure which has the message in it.. If you have 4 lights You have AV problem, 1 Light Hardware problem just reconnect stuff.. 2 for over heating..]

Quick memory question!

OK guys quick question im gettin an arcade 360.........wat i will do is get the console not the HDD yet cuz im also getting a new LCD.....My question is without HDD can i save games on its on-board 512mb memory.....Bassically can i save GTA iV without HDD..i dont want it to be like i only save few missions after which i run out of space though i will be overwriting my saves....So can i??

 

[snake2k]

If you mean saving games as in "Checkpoint" save thing? Yep its made for that.. GTA IV can let you save like 10 missions/checkpoints.. But if you mean "Installing" the game then no..

Pak gamers console price too steep.......

Hey guys just checked out prices at Bismillah Electronics at Saddar, Karachi......

Console Jasper (PAL) "Oct 2009" Rs 23500 (modded charges included)
HD Rs 3000
Plug and play Cab le Rs 600
HDMI Cable Rs 600
VGA Cable Rs 500


The question is why the heck is pakgamers charging 26000 for the same pal version of 360 which is of mfg April 2009? Why such a great difference and why do they state in the website that all prices are
-11% market price when its infact +15% market price at every accesories of 360 including 360 itself....are they rigging the customers?

let me clear it up wat im saying is Saving game any games obviously takes space rite.....now as im not going to getting HDD can i "save as in when wen i turn on my game again it will start from i wher i left it off" in 512mb space which 360 comes on on board wit the console?

p.s wat u mean by "Installing" the game?

 

[elvis840]

if u r banned from live,can u still get system updates from live or u dun for?

 

[Hypnotic]

^ u can get it from xbox official site and update through usb.

 

[Phatman]

does the boot shot method prevent u frm saving on ure 360 HDD? I knw shopwalas try to confuse u into getting other stuff done (in this case fw update for 2k)...but this one got me confused...

Yep it will.. The 512 mb space acts like a memory card but its builtin.. 512mb is alot of space.. each game file is like.. 1-5 mb or something...

Installing a Game means when you insert a game and you have an HDD.. The 360 copies the massive game files to the HDD which starts the game much faster and reads better and stuff..

I need a bit of a suggestion here. That should i buy a Xbox 360 NTSC-U Region or not? I mean i know its games arent available here in the market but are they available for download. Like if i burn them for my own self?
As i am getting it quite cheap from Canada that is for Rs16,700. So i would like to know that i hope i dont get much problems with the NTSC-U region here. =)

^All region games are available for download so it doesnt matter what region u have got....
