Lems, answer this...(GTA4)

What are you gonna do after you pay for the DLC for GTA4 and you get the RROD?

So much for the better version!

no argument here

360 has the better version because of DLC

of course that means little if you can't actually enjoy it on a functional console

I had my 360 for well over a year and it hasnt died yet. black_awpN1

You sound like you are overdue.

not definitely

but if it does, then having the better version means nothing ;)

Doesn't 100% have something wrong with them?

Funny how it is the persons fault for sending his HDD with his 360 when the info sheet that came in the replacement box said not to send it and so did the customer support people.

And all he has to do is go to his download history and redownload everything anyway.

I wonder if people who bought the 360 have to live in fear that their system will rrod. I probably wouldGunSmith1_basic

me too

it's why i avoid it

ummm, won't it still have the better version regardless of the RROD? I don't see what hardware errors have to do with the fact that the xbox360 version is superior to the PS3 version.jack_russel

Its saying that if you download it, and you rrod and they send you a new console, you are SOL as the dlc wont be able to be used with your gamertag.

This is also the reason I laugh when people talk about how drm is the future instead of blu ray or other means of "hard copy". There is just too many things that could go wrong. DRM will never be the leading source of items. Only 34% of Americans who have internet (and its only like 61% of the US have a computer) have high speed. Of that remaining 64% who have internet, high speed is only available to 19% of them. There is no way that digital downloads can appeal as a mass market item. Then add into them these type of problems. Its simply laughable.Dilrod

Plus, can you imagine how long it would take to dl a full HD movie that's the size of a blu-ray disc?

Not every person will get the DLC. I don't know how that relates to your post, but I'm sure it does somehow!

You seemed like you knew everything about the RRoD.

1) glad i don't have to deal with that hassle

Hmm, my 360 just died a month ago and I got a new one at Best Buy, logged back in and downloaded all my content I purchased from XBL. What's this DRM issue you speak of, because it was smooth sailing for me.BioShockOwnz

IF you read the full article, you can see that is not how it works. It links it to the system itself, and since M$ gave him a different system he cant use them on his gamertag. He can't simply go and redownload everything.

You're confusing DRM with digital distribution. DRM stands for Digital Rights Management, which is a broad term for various security features designed to stop piracy. Digital distribution is the term for online services like XBLM and iTunes that sell digital "copies" of content rather than physical copies.

No, I am not confusing them. I know they are two different things, but one does not come without the other. A form of DRM will have to be used on any kind of Digital Media to ensure you dont download it and give it to 1,000 people.

How original. And yet, even though I'm on my second 360 (I originally had a launch console), my 360 still gets a lot more play time then my ps3. So good luck with the whole thread thing, but I'd like to see more effort in the future.

I have had my 360 since Dead Rising came out, but I am starting to get a RROD every now and then. It seems to work after being reset, or being allowed to cool down. Different for different people though i guess.

As far as gta goes, do you think I should pre-order? It's usually hype, but GTA Vice City was one of those games where even teachers were bunking off just to buy and play.

I exchanged it for a different one under my warrenty at Gamestop. But I only exchanged the console and kept the HDD.

I just popped in my HDD and everything worked the same.

i would definitely pre-order

looks to be an awesome game

Why would you set up your replacement xbox with a different gamertag? *head explodes*

Doesn't bother me. I have a Best Buy which actually honors the PRP that I purchased along with it, instead of shipping it back to MS for me. I took in my old broken 360 and received a brand spankin' new one, plus money back on my account since the price was lowered. Woot for me. :)

Umm, I got a differnt system, recovered my gamertag, and had all my content available...

More pathetic damage control. Its pretty much gotten to the point where all people do is say but but teh RROD.

Blackbond

but but teh Just Wait, same thing.

And according to Gamestop standards are you still waiting for your first AAAE? 360 RRODs. You send it back you get a new one in weaks. PS3 doesn't get a AAAE. You wait a year and half until MGS4.

See I can fight a fanboy comment with a fanboy comment if I have too :|

Just wait actually affects a game library. How does RROD affect the amount of good games on a console. Congratulations on turning this thread into something that it wasn't even supposed to be.
