My xbox 360 came today, plugged it in, worked for 3 min then switched off and wont power up. Smells like burnt capacitors. Surge Protector was working so me thinks the xbox is duff.

Was it a brand new 360, or had it been in for repair?

Well, I can finally sit down and write about my time on Frag Doll Friday. (Yeah, I know, it's over twelve hours since it ended, but I had to rush off to work and this is the first time I have to do this).

Anyway, I had lots of fun while I was on. OK, I spent more time getting shot at and being taken out, but it started getting kind of fun after a while, especially when I finally started getting into it towards my final game. There were some fun times--like at the warehouse level, which was my last game, I was running down the hall, when I spotted someone in black just standing there looking right at me. Next thing I know, the person in black took a shot at me and took me out. Then came the words, "Sarin FDUK (552 Commando) Arc14716" in red. It was Sarin standing there in her black outfit which perfectly matched with the darkened room. I should've just started firing the second I spotted her, but I just had to hesitate for a split second. (I did get her back later on though).

Then there was the time in the Trainyard map where I took down someone three times. I did get good with gernades after a bit too.

Anyway, good games everyone. I really liked it this time. Looking forward to the next session.

And Kitt was a good host as always . . .

and Sarin was a good player as always . . . .

and so was everyone else.

Yes, they were. Except when I was shot in the arse, off a ladder on two separate occasions. Cheers for that Sarin and Rob! The sheer indignity of it... Or when I died and was subsequently flung across the room by my own grenade...

I played most of the games without radar enabled like a complete spanner

You are more than welcome, any time mate

Good games everyone, 26 hours in and I am really starting to enjoy Vegas 2!

It was a brand new xbox Jam from Amazon.co.uk

It's been sent back to them, they're sending it to microsoft's repair people and if its a duff one I'll get a new one. Else I've just wasted £180

If it was brand new, Amazon should replace it immediately, by law.

They have to determine the cause of the fault before they can give me a new one. but yes by law they have to IF the product was unintentionally damaged by carelessness or other means then I wouldn't get a new one.

thing is microsoft wont give you a new one thell fix the old one. i recently sent and got back my first gen 360 and even with a fried motherboard and buggerd dvd drive they didnt send me a brand spanking new one oh no they just replaced the parts.

Saw this on the FDUK website on their schedule:

Apr 7 (7-8pm) R6 Vegas 2 Sarin

As I type this, the session is already over . . .

and I missed it!!!

AAAAAUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!

It wasn't there yesterday. Where did it come from? When did it get added?

Well, there's another one on April 17th. I hope I can make that one.

How did things go anyway?

I was wondering where you were Arc! I thought maybe it was a bit early for you but then I remembered you have made the session at that time before.

I'll look forward to shooting you on the 17th instead

You'll soon have a reason not to take a shot at me on the 17th . . . and I will be there for the 17th and on Frag Doll Friday.

((Now what do I mean about the above statement? Ask me about it then.))

'Twas some rather nice games of TF2 last night. It seemed to be just Jam and I talking away... Mostly about GTA4 with the odd bit of other stuff

It's a pretty hardcore game isn't it? Though I finally managed to get those pesky "play as all classes" and "play all maps" achievements!

Ok, my 360 is starting to act up. It's been freezing after several minutes of playing Vegas 2. I tried another game, and it did the same thing.

So, it looks like I'll be calling Microsoft soon to find out when the warranty on my 360 is up and take it from there.

I hope this isn't a sign of you know what because I would hate to miss out on the Vegas 2 sessions.

Good games last night - I am now convinced that all bad guys attend terrorist school where they are taught about weapons etc and how to speak like bad guys - elocution for baddies? Hmm...

Though, in hindsight, I felt kinda bad seeing as you were ill and tired, Sarin. Like we were making you play when you should've been in your bed!

I am all over the Haze Co-op Community night on the 14th, assuming that N.A. has the demo by then. Hoping we get it on this Thursday's update.

Guess I could get myself a PAL account on the PSN and download the demo today.

Here, is the GRAW2 Legacy Edition just the game with the co-op packs?

Ack! What happened to the Mario Kart Wii session? Has it been rescheduled? I was so looking forward to do this.

Also, it appears that GRAW 2 Legacy Edition is available pretty much everywhere, except one region:

The United States.

click here for the news and also here.

So, it appears I will have to download and pay for all the extra maps instead of getting them all in one nice package.

Dunno, arc. I think it was changed to a GTA4 session which came to nothing...

Probably cheaper DLing them anyway!

Hello chaps,

I'm afraid that due to crazy schedules, the Haze night on the 14th is now CANCELLED. Apologies! However, we have published a lovely interview with the developers to make up for it Check it out on the front page.
