Hi,

I bought my HD-DVD this summer (for 80$) and I always used it to play movies (hd or not) so that I always leave my games in the 360. Anyway yesterday it started making a BEEEEEEPS noise every 3 seconds and the screen tears and pixelates. I tried unplugging and replugging, tried several dvds (they all work fine in the 360 drive) and I just tried HD-DVDs and it's even worse (freezing, sometimes message about licensing problem, etc. even the damn FBI warning bugs). I tried clearing the cache of the player and it didn't change anything. Anyone had a similar problem? My 360 and HD-DVD and in a pretty small enclosure but I tried them in the open and no change (anyway they waren't used for hours so they were cold). I keep them in my furniture which is small but in the past I kept them in the open and they died anyway (well the 360, twice) so now I keep my xbox in the enclosure and if it breaks again well I'll exchange it again I have a warranty. (just cleared that up for those who'll tell me it's something about heat)

Thanks

Just sent this in Creative forums, I'll try here as well;

Hi, I had an Iriver h320 wich I really liked, but passed away yesterday (well saw it coming had it for 3 years and a half). Since then I've been looking for a new mp3 player and back when I bought my Iriver I hesitated between this and a Zen Touch. So since I trust Creative for good sound, I'll buy one but now I'm hesitating between 2 offers and can't choose. 20gb wasn't enough for me, since I now have over 30gb of music, so I came across a brand new Zen Touch 40gb which Ican have for roughly 100 dollars. I knew someone who had one and didn't really like the touch pad (I neither really like the ipod one, but at least it's circular) and I heard the battery life was awesome (but irreplacable). But then, I come across another offer wich is a new modified Zen Xtra with a new battery and a 160gb hdd (well 130 since the player can't use more). I'll never have to worry about disk space, which really tempts me. Can someone who owned one or both these players help me a bit? Here's a + and - list of each:

Zen Touch: +100$ +more recent model +battery life +new so better warranty-only 40gb -don't like the touch pad Zen Xtra: +130gb +replacable battery (and 2$ spare batteries) -200$ -less good warranty

So please help me make my choice, thanks to any repliers

I send this email to microsoft days ago and they answered with something about region code and ntsc stuff; really attentionateemployees. Maybe someone here can answer me

Hi,
This is a question about multilanguage xbox 360 games. I live in Quebec and so far I had no problems since all games had english and french sound. But I bought Halo 3 a month ago and to my surprise it was only in french (my console is set in english so I had subtitles but I was really disappointed). I bought the game in a Wal-Mart and there were no english versions (I wasn't sure about the audio but the box was all in french). I'd like to know your policies about games in Quebec. I'm french but I really hate french voiceovers in games and Halo 3 was the first I encountered that was french only. Do game stores have french AND english copies of unilanguage disks or french only? I reserved Mass Effect in a store and I fear that the game will be french only like Halo 3 (probably for DVD space reasons). I'd like to know if I can preorder it in english or if I'll have to import it (if I have to I'll stick to the french version but I'll be disappointed). Thanks for answering

Maybe in europe the same thing goes on (different versionsin different languages)

Hi,

I bought Halo 3 in Quebec last month and to my surprise found that the game was french only (I hate french dubbing in gamesit's like areally really badmovie dubbing). The french only box should have warned me but it's the first game I encounter that is one language only. Luckily I found a store with a clean used copy of the english version and they exchanged it for me. I preordered Mass Effect last week and since Bioware said that the disk can have only one language I want to know if ALL stores in Quebec have french AND english versions of one-language games. I asked M$ but they answered something about region code so they didn't read my email at all (so surprising). I want to know the policies towards french games in Quebec since I'll buy it online if I can only get the french version. Or can I call Ebgames to ask them to keep me an english version? If some of you have a clue about itplease enlight me Thanks

Hi,

I'm thinking about trading my old PSPfor a slim one since I really really want that damn TV output. Do you think it's a good idea? How much do you think it will cost me? I don't use homebrew so I don't care about that... and anyone who has one can tell me about the TV out? Does it work well on an hdtv or does it look bad? Thanks for you advices...
