xbox 360 red ringed question time yooo

[DWARFINATORclock]

The PS3 gets almost every game that the Xbox gets and visa-versa, so Idno what the hell you mean by that.

It doesn't matter what I say because you obviously can't read. Have fun playing Crackdown and Mass Effect on your PS3.

considering there are like 5 people online i'm just going to post this here and move it once i got the answers i require!

So anyhow my xbox red ringed (again) and im pretty sure my warranty has expired..in which case it's cheaper to just buy a new one. Butttt does anyone have any experience recovering their accounts on a new xbox? And where the fuck can you check what your password was, i logged into that fucker like 3 years ago. Also what about my harddrive? I mean when i buy a new one im probably going for an Elite.. but does that mean i have to pay for all dlc again or how does that work? Or do i have to switch harddrives when i play games with dlc content or something. Save games i don't care for much considering i was planning to play most games over from start regardless.

you can transfer shit from one hd to another, but really just lie to MS and send your xbox in and get a new one for free thats what i did.

Have fun playing mediocre exclusive games and paying extra for a service we get free

gears of war is mediocre yeah


also it comes out to the price of a game per year and the quality of the online experience is much better than playstation.

you can also get your xbox modded and get free games. no such mod exists for ps3

Nice that you have thievery as a pro. Not that I wouldn't expect that from you.

I own both, so I'm not taking sides here, buuut yeah Gears of War is pretty mediocre, and I notice no quality difference between Playstation and 360.

buying a ps3 means you can't wait for the juicy climax of the xbox and you blow your load at the first sign of 1080p and horrible gameplay.

games are for faggots

You can redownload any content you have previously purchased off Xbox Live for no charge. Thought for arcade games you will have to be signed on to Xbox Live if you want to play them. This is because all arcade games are saved to that one certain console so anytime you switched consoles any older games will need to be connected to the internet to play. Any games bought with the new console will not require an internet connection.

    Get an elite and just transfer all your information to your new harddrive. That's what I did last time my xbox redringed. You can get a free harddrive cable from Microsoft for free to transfer your crap.

I would also like to add as a owner of both a PS3 and a 360. The 360 is superior. Yeah, PSN is free, but they charge you for every single thing possible to make up for it. Pay for a PSN arcade title, pay again to use characters in the game, pay some more for more levels. Bah!

[PirateClock]

Im not buying a ps3 cause i have 25 360 games and not a working 360 to play it on!  

Also ill look into the data transfer thingy! The guy in the store told me there's also a way to let your computer think it's an external hd or something but im not qualified to do stuff like that. I can only press shiny button and plug in the proper cables as long as they are color coded.

Holy shit thankx!

Ok problem solved! Ill just buy an elite, order the free cable, transfer my shit, use the license tool online, done.

Neato, who knew this would be so easy. In a way this isn't such a bad scenario considering my old xbox is 4 years old (or more) and it's HD is full, no HDMI port and still the old dvddrive that's apparently shit.

Crackdown and Mass Effect are not mediocre.

Or you could just use that website and play them when you're not signed into Live.

How will this get me my save games and dlc back?

If you have the harddrive that the DLC is on, all you do is use the site to transfer the license to your new console, and bam.
