2nd shipment system here with no problems. People that have had theirs die are going to be more vocal than thoes with no problems and with the high failure rate(32-35 ish %)thats a lot of complaining. The main issueI see is everyons geting Refurbished systems when they send theirs in.

I personally buy the theory that its caused by low grade solder on the board unsticking connections on the PCB when the system overheats. Otherwise I dont see how the towel trick would be effective. I dont see how they could fix this issue without replacing the board in the unit and if they do that they may as well give you a completely new system.

I don't think the Gold service should be free, but I think things should be set up a little differently in regards to what Silver offers and what Gold offers; for example, Silver should allow online gaming, but without voice communication; downloads, but at half the transfer rate; no leaderboards in any game; that sort of thing. It rubs me the wrong way to have to pay to host a multiplayer game on my own hardware, for example.OremLK

You hit the nail on the head. If they want us to pay MS should use some of that money to pony up for some dedicated servers. Paying to host on your hardware is a major ripoff. As for free being a bad idea look at batellfield 2 and 2042. Much better online experience than live IMO with no crappy 16 player limit.

live gold ought to be free anyway for what you get. I could see paying for dedicatd servers but local hosting is a joke. So is the 16 player limit on most games. Give me the 32 and 64 palyer experience a la battelfield. Pluscanceling your gold account is a major hassle. For me gold was a waste of money.

Planescape Torment

Not nessicarily a sequal but something in the same setting would be nice.

Oh yeah and Betrayal at Krondor

And to have it xbox related Escape from Butcher Bay I think that one is actually in the works.

[QUOTE="chief_527"]slutsveitari

It's the one case when In-breeding was a good thing. :P

lol I love it

Chaism I hear ya on Fallout 3. I'm trying to remain optimistic that it will be more than just Oblivian with guns. I hope Bestheda will listen to the series real fanbase.

sorry for all the bad typing guys I cant seem to hit the spacebar tonight. Or spell for that matter.

This is almost as bad as learning when Interplay died. I mean Bioware I almost in a way grew up with there RPG's as they were consistient and offered great games. Infact I think I remember key devs from Interplay in Bioware when it first started. So who knows maybe the same will happen to Bioware.

P.S correction it was Black Isle that went to Bioware, And people from Interplay went to Black Isle(Correct if wrong) so I mean the dev team is not against making new companies it seems and getting people to surrport them.

Chaism

Its been so long its hard to remember. IfI remember right asome of devs left Black Isle for Bioware. Interplay(publisher) owned Black Isleit died andmost from Black Isle formed Obsidian(also under interplay)which is still alive(under Atari)and some of Black Isle went to Trokia which died after Vampire bloodlines. Black Isle and Bioware colaberated on Bauldars Gate(at leastI remember both names on the box)and planescape torment(licensed thegameengine from bioware if Irember right). There all so tied together its hard to keep it sorted out. and of corse Interplay kept the fallout IP and sold it to Betseda except for th mmorights so i think all the major westeern RPG devs have managed to get in bed with each other somehow.

The thing is I don't want the BIO games to disappear or to be developed byEA's developing team. OOHH GOD Please NO!! But if bio stays, most likely the things you wrote will happen, and we, the consumer will only get mediocre to average games. chief_527

I was just trying to point out there is hope that even if EA screws Bioware over the truly creative people at the studio will move on and form new and innovative IP's under a different name. I Almost cried when Black Ilsewas disolved but a lot of the talent fromBlack isle went on to from Bioware, Obsidian, and Trokia and I've loved a lot of the games from thoes studios although Bioware got the majority of the talent. Same with Origin they went on to form Digital Anvil and made a few good games after that althogh the space opera seems to have met an untimely death IMO.

I hope Bioware survies but it wont be the end of good western RPG'sif they don't. True talent will move on to where it can flourish.

hopefully the developers will quit and create their own company, because EA is way to close minded and probaly wont allowthe game ideas thatBIo suggest. One can only hope :?chief_527

Its happend before and if they dont get the time/creative freedom they need I'm sure it will happen again. If EA has the good sense to leave Bioware alone they could continue to flourish but I doubt it. At the very least I expect time constraints to be put upon Bioware if not ceative infringment. That just seems to be EA's buisness model.

When Black Isle died we got Bioware, Obsidian, and Trokia. heres to hoping that if EA kills Bioware it spawns simular studios.
