I think I’ll download that Pinata Theme…oh wait…I can’t. The update messed up my 360.
I think I’ll post that video on YouTube or something.

Well the Uno Deck and Viva Theme wasnt showing up in my marketplace menu this morning either…..maybe they had to pull it down for some reason…..sirharper, did you ever open your 360 up at all?

Deep breath Harper, I know it sucks being that I’m on my fifth (or is it fourth I’ve lost count) Xbox 360 but complaining here isn’t going to help anything.
There’s also a map pack out for Perfect Dark Zero Deaconblade, with two of the classic maps from the original Perfect Dark redone, I can’t wait to get home and try those out.

Nope…never ever. I took the faceplace off once, that is all.

I know man, I don’t know how you did it or why you remained loyal after that. Yours is one of the worst cases I ever heard.
I’m not mad, I still have my second 360 but I will not let it touch the network until my primary one gets fixed.
I do expect MS to man up and admit the problem and offer a free, fast fix. So far no indications though.
November 1st, 2006 at 11:04 am
You know the funniest part though?
Here we are with a CONFIRMED problem that affects a specific known build version of 360’s, was directly caused by an official Live update, and one that I have a video proof of that renders the 360 useless.
…yet a certain fanboy crowd will still go into the problems threads on the forums, deny the problem, 0 star the threads, and flame the people having the problem.
Yes UNSCleric, this means you ya POS.

The new PDZero maps are amazing, I’ve dreamed of next-gen Facility for years.
November 1st, 2006 at 11:15 am
Also, show me where I flamed someone for having a problem with this Dash update, I’m curious where you saw that, cause I haven’t posted in any of the whining threads in a long time, I’m too occupied with all the great threads, along with trying to find a Wireless headset for my perfectly working Xbox 360.
The only thing I see is you rating any thread five stars that is negative towards MS or the Xbox 360.
November 1st, 2006 at 11:20 am
I have a screen cap of it on my site for all to see. Fanbois did the same to our good man Intangible360 when he was having all his problems too. People of your thinking have no shame.
So you 0 starred the thread because I gave it 5 stars since I was having the same problem and Deacon was helping us? Thats pretty helpful to the community wouldn’t you say?
November 1st, 2006 at 11:26 am
Still not seeing any flaming or denying of the problem, even on your worthless site…
“yet a certain fanboy crowd will still go into the problems threads on the forums, deny the problem, 0 star the threads, and flame the people having the problem.

Lying about people also isn’t helpful. I can rate threads whatever I want to.
November 1st, 2006 at 11:34 am
You rated the thread 0 stars, I have a cap of that posted.
Nobody is denying you are able to rate threads as you wish, so will I. Your reasons for doing so out of self designated self-obligation to further the MS cause and any price is what is questionable.
Prior to yesterday both of my 360’s were fine aside from some lockups caused by software.
Lets hope they can fix the people in software shall we? Wouldn’t a recall on the eve of PS3 be just a big kick in the jewels?
November 1st, 2006 at 11:39 am
You said I denied and flamed people who posted update problem threads, that is a lie.
November 1st, 2006 at 11:40 am
Didn’t see the part about a recall in your comment, that’s classic. I’m sure you were one of the trolls last fall screaming for a recall as well right?
November 1st, 2006 at 11:42 am
No, I said people of your thinking and a certain fanboy crowd (of which you are a ring leader).
You no doubt agree with them.
November 1st, 2006 at 11:48 am
*UPDATE*
I recalled 1-800-4MY-XBOX again today and was now given the “give it a couple days” line and that I should “enjoy offline play until it is fixed”.
November 1st, 2006 at 12:01 pm
I’ve seen that posted as well.
November 1st, 2006 at 12:22 pm
Lol, maybe we should make a private forum for Harper and Cleric.
November 1st, 2006 at 1:01 pm
I challenged him to a live debate via phone with Deacon moderating once before but he didn’t respond.
That would be pure podcast gold for Deacon’s show. lol
November 1st, 2006 at 1:47 pm
I wish there was some Halo Trilogy picture packs. Also about that Kameo theme deck for UNO….
November 1st, 2006 at 1:51 pm
yeah i’ve heard that..
let me see if i can find anything.they pulled the deck so be happy i guess you got it free lol there was an issue with it.November 1st, 2006 at 2:04 pm
Maybe the new Auto Download feature had something to do with it.

The RS6 demo is awesome. I’ve been playing the OXM demo. Too bad I’ll be busy with GeOW to buy it.
MS is doing a great job with XBL and Marketplace. They are really getting a handle on this digi distribution.
