I live in the country the closest electronics store is 90 minutes away and that's Best Buy. So I made the drive to Best Buy to pick up RV2 and drove back. I didn't get a chance to play it until today. Well today my gold account expired and i thought nothing of it. So I decided to try the new online multiplayer it gave me the message that I don't have mutliplayer privileges. I never knew that silver accounts couldn't play online. I don't have to pay to play online on my PC or PS3. I could understand paying more if I were guaranteed lag free gameplay, but frankly Live has the most lag and slowdowns compared to my other gaming mediums. Sure we have a pretty more user friendly store then PS3, but I never use the store. So I go to renew with my credit card through Live. M$ rejects my credit card funny seeing as how I have a 0 balance. Called customer service they couldn't do anything about it right now and suggested to buy a gold account card at a local store. Great local for me means a 3 hr round trip. I think online gaming should be free, but use of the store should be paid for. Paying for online play is another excuse for M$ to bleed gamers of their cash. I know someone will suggest moving, but living in the clean air, peace and tranquility, and beauty of these mountains more then outweigh the occasional inconvenience. What do you think? Should online gaming be free to all 360 owners?

You can get a 13 months gold subs from many reliable sources around the web for just 30 bucks. I find it funny M$, richest company on planet makes you pay to play online but .. what you gonna do uh? Live is not that bad and for 2,77 USD per month you just CANT complain.
I think this is the only thing a Xbox 360 needs right now, just to improve performance in games and decrease popping etc like in GTA IV or GoW although they are not that noticeable for the common eye.
Recently I've noticed, it must be a bug. Why? Because when you insert the dvd in the Xbox it automatically loads up your last saved game. But, hey! where the hell did the console get the saved game if it doesn't know where to save them...
I got the Xbox 360 recently Falcon+Benq and it came with COD 4. Well COD 4 only asked me once where to store my savegames, I selected my 20g official Microsoft hard drive and that was all. Everything always saved automatically.
Now when playing GTA IV, everytime I restart my Xbox 360 it asks me where to save my savegames, I select the hard drive and as long as I don't turn off the console it will automatically save my advance there
Isn't there a way to set as default storage drive my 20 Gig HD for GTA IV? In the dashboard or somewhere?
I've been trying for months to find the proper TV/Monitor for my XBOX 360 that offers me optimal resolution. I can spend up to 580 USD/Euros for a new Monitor/TV
Around 20" or so would be the best. I've got a Sony KDL 20S4000 which I'm going to turn back for refund since it says "1336x766" resolution, hdmi ready but VGA is capped at 1280x766 , it looks like crap in games with jaggies everywhere.
I don't know what Monitor or TV should I buy, I'm so lost with this kind of technology. Anyone who can help me please
