Problem I've noticed recently is TV stations are jamming in more and more commercials on re-run TV shows. The original runtime for Seinfeld was 21 mins of show and 9 mins of commercials. Now in re-runs, my local station plays 19 mins of the show and 11 minutes of commercials. They have to cut out 2 minutes of the show now. One Seinfeld episode, everything lead up to the last 30 seconds of the show, and it was CUT for commercials!! How about going back to the old days when TV shows were sponsered by companies, and put that companies logo at the bottom right corner of the screen. The bottom right corner nowdays always have TV stations logo. Replace the NBC logo with AT & T for example. It's gotten so bad with commercials I set up my PC with 2 TV tuner cards and Windows Media Center. For the past 4 years, I stream recorded TV to my Xbox360 and just skip the commercials. This works awesum, and in 4 years it has never failed once. I understand we need commercials to fund production of TV shows, but they have gone way overboard.

Why not just keep the dificulty levels as they are, and let the customer select what they are comfortable playing?

Dumb idea locking a game to the most difficult level.

I think the ring is the point up to which information is burned onto the disc. If I am wrong the the tech geeks will swoop in like birds of prey and correct me...with gusto!

BigGhost_AJT

Correct! The 'white' ring is the seperation space between the video partition and the game data. As part of security for the 360, the game DVD spins backwards from conventional DVD's. Movie DVDs spin clock-wise, xbox360 games spin counter clock-wise. The very first part of the 360 game disc contains what's called the video partition. This video partition works like a normal movie DVD, so if you accidently stick it in a DVD player, it will play a looping video that tells ya to put the disc in a xbox360 This video partition on the disc works and acts like a normal movie DVD (spins clock-wise). When you put the game disc into a 360 console, it ignores this video partition, and moves right to the game data parttion (which spins counter clock-wise). So the whiteish ring is the seperation space between the video partition and game data. Take a look at a store purchased music CD, you will see rings seperating each music track. The ring on a music CD represents 4 seconds of digital silence (all 00's).

Try to right click on that uTorrent folder and make surethat folder is"shared". It should show up after rebooting your 360.

Stranglehold on hardest mode. After failing maybe 10 times on one level, the game asked me if I wanted to switch to an easier mode!! Thiswas the first and only time a games suggested I try an easier mode.

It feels different and fresh while still feeling like Halo. The armor abilities and loadouts add a whole new level of strategy and the new objective based gametypes are a lot of fun. There are some new weapons to keep things interesting as well.nate_c-12

I'd agree 100% with Nate. Don't forget about the holographic image abilities too. That "power up option" has come in handy in some situations so far.

would this allow you to play downloaded Halo 3 maps offline as well?

BLAS1AN

You should be able to play all downloaded game enhancements/new maps/etc all off line, with any profile. My one 360 hasn't seen LIVE in over a year, but all my downloaded game enhancements work with 3 gamer profiles.

Now arcade DLC is a little different. These DLC games are "marrried" to the console/gamer profile.

Best way to transfer DLC content to a new 360 is to do it all online, someone posted the link above. Let the webpage and your new 360 do all the work, sit back and watch your content being transfered. What you want to avoid is to download all your purchases DLC games onto your new 360 indemo game mode, thentrytorun the license transfer process.

Strangly enough, I just transfered all my DLC and game enhancements to a new 360 (along with gamer profiles), yet the 10 or so DLC and game enhancements still work on the old machine - even without the gamer profile I bought the DLC games with on the old 360. I think the next time I connect to LIVE, microsoft will disable the games (demo mode) on the old machine.

I actually like the game quite a lot. It takes a little time to get used to the right joystick to "lean" the rider to make tighter corners.

At first before playing, I thought the right joystick was going to ruin the game. Turns out i ACTUALLY like the leaning using the right

joystick. I recommend this game is you liked the original mx vs. atv
