That's not really a double standard. WiFi and Blu-Ray cost extra meaning the PS3 initially costs more than the Xbox 360. Netflix and media center doesn't cost extra.Lance_Kalzas
Why do lemmings still tout Netflix? The PS3 has netflix, AND has a browser, Hulu and such? And I love how lemmings all of a sudden become casual when discussing the 360's price... Hard Drive? pffft 256meg will be more then enough for my gaming needs... Online? pffft online is to complicated for me, no appeal, don't need it. Rechargeable battery packs? What for? I'll only play my 360 for a day or so. Wifi? I don't need online remember! (granted some people like me can use wired, wireless is still so much more convinient)

[QUOTE="schims"][QUOTE="Wunderkid7"]Your pc windows ID is linked to your gamertag if you use the same email address. That is how you can get gamerscore for games for windows and xbox games on the same gamertag. Not sure if that is the issue but if you have been using that info for pc it might be causing the problem. You might just have to make a new account with a different email like the other guy said and see if that works.joecow678
That's for the help guys! I started another profile and it worked! Only problem now is I've taken the nickname I wanted, is there a way to delete my other profile?

You would end up having to pay 1600 micrsoft points(20$s) to get the name back as it would be 800 to change the first account name away from the one you want and another 800 to change the 2nd one to what the first one was. I think you can cancel\delete the first account if you call microsoft BUT i dont think that frees up the Gamertag(nickname)

Ok thx for the info, been trying to find a new nickname, this is going to be a pain :P Everythings taken!

When you made your new account you choose to have a silver xbox live membership, at which point it should have said you are entitiled to one month of free gold. Have you had an account before with that email by chance? If so you might have to use a different email for the account. Wunderkid7
I might have played around with live on the PC, but it's been so long I don't even remember, if PC live accounts don't count I really have no clue, this is my first day ever with a 360.

What I would do then is make another account. If that one doesn't get the free gold trial, then I would call CS.Legendaryscmt

Did you just make an account up on the 360 AND use a trial card, or just made an account?Legendaryscmt
I just made an account! No trial card, is a trial card supposed to come with the console? I bought an arcade if that helps!

[QUOTE="schims"][QUOTE="FirstDiscovery"]Its minor, very easy to do trust me. And 5.1 makes a huge difference, its so hard to go back to normal crappy 2.1FirstDiscovery
ya but my speakers are only 2.1 so =D Thx for the advice dude, your a life saver, as soon as I get home that plastic is flying into the river!

LOL okay, no problem. If youre speakers dont have ports for the Red+White cables, then there are other solutions.

I have my ps3 connected to my monitor via HDMI, and the AV cable has one of the 3 outputs connected to the speakers through a little adaptor, don't remember the color, but it's the audio, I'm guessing same game with the 360, it'll work prolly :P I was looking at cables before coming here and they are damn expensive where I live, my other solutions involved wasted 30+ euros which I much rather spend on a game :P Or live for that matter... But I think I need to buy Halo, I need to see what all the fuss is about =D
