Isual gave me this link with some good info: http://www.flexbeta.net/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t5676.html
I got my Imation 700 mb/80 min CD-RW 1x-4x to eventually work. I think the key is to burn them at the slowest speed possible. The lowest Roxio would go for me was 4x, but I heard 1x is the best.
Sorry, I mean for music. I've got a huge collection and its a lot easier to burn my fav songs to CD from my playlist then rip to the xbox then to do it from each original CD. Besides, about 20 or so songs were downloaded.
I think I remember somewhere reading Sony (imagine that) brand was compatible. Im gonna bite the bullet and try that tonight. I'll keep you posted dude.....
So there I am burning CD's to rip to my xbox. After the first one finishes, I pop it in and get the "can't recognize" statement. After trying again numerous times, and other burned CD's, I've come to the conclusion that Imation brand CD-RW's aint getting no love from my big mean green and black machine.
Anybody out there know of any definite brands that's compatible?
P.S. If this was answered many times eons ago and is buried deep in the back of the Xbox thread, then I apologize for my laziness.
Like almost everyone here, it comes down to being cheaper and EB/GS will normally have a deeper library than your average department store (Wal mart, Best Buy, etc). I know this is def. not the case, but when I trade in games they are pretty much in the same condition I bought them in, to include the books and everything, but I stay optimistic that if I buy a used game it will be in the same condition, which again is not always the case.
To me, the used games business is kinda twofold: While in one light that extra money that the store is making could go into the pocket of the devs and publishers who spent the time and resources to make the game, If places like this didn't exist what would you do with games you either didn't like or just didn't want anymore? Lets say you've been gaming since like the NES days, by now you would have accumulate somewheres 200 plus cartridges/CD's just lying around with nothing to do with them. Even is you just say "I'll sell them on Ebay" or something similar, isn't that the same thing as the stores because the companies are still not getting the money as if your buyer was buying a new game? I mean I love gaming just as much as the next man, but If my living room start looking like the 40-year old virgin's, I think I'd have to do some reconsidering, seriously, lol.
Lastly, though not directly related, my view on new games is this: If I rent a game and don't like it, okay 8 bucks down the drain; If I rent, like the game, and buy a new copy, its the full price of the game, plus like 8 bucks kinda down the drain; But If I buy a new game straight-up-its-gonna-own-no-doubt and it turns out to blow hard than that's like 30-35 bucks (generous) down the drain if I trade it in. Morale: rent it first
I had XBOX, PS2/PS, GC, and N64. I don't think there is a voting category for that, lol. I don't count it but back in the day I had a Genesis, SNES, NES and like an Atari 4800 or something.
