I'm going with my family and we have the flexi ticket things for the theme parks etc. I want to go watch some sports there, and I want to know the best stadium to watch baseball is, and whether it is necesarry to go watch some football as well. I'm going in October and also wanted to know if the season is actually going then (pardon my ignorance) :P

1. Fifa 11

2. Red Dead Redemption

3. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Laptop? Maybe it is too dusty. Open it up and air blow the CPU heat sink. It is possible the dust blocked everything thus the CPU overheat.magicalclick

Well I've given it to a friend who's a sorta specialist, Do you mean just take the bottom off of it? So all the circuits etc are showing?

How old is your computer? Sounds like some of the hardware are failing.magicalclick

1 year and 9 months, damn. Does this mean I'll have to get a new laptop or is this fixable? My desktop computer has been going for like 4 years :/

Thanks for the reply anyway.

I have a Compaq CQ61 laptop, I never download anything except if it's from a trusted site. The only thing that maybe slightly non trusted was something called dosbox, but I downloaded that about a month before this problem occured. For the past couple of weeks, the computer has been turning off, then booting up with a screen that said 'consider replacing your battery' or something along those lines. We ignored this because it worked fine afterwards. Then, just today when I turned it on, it came up with a message saying 'Windows failed to start, this may be due to a hardware or software failure', it gave me two options; 'Launch startup repair' or 'start windows normally. I have chosen both of these, but moments after I choose either one the computer just switches off I have tried pressing 'Esc' when it's starting up to get a menu up, but once again it just turns off. I have tried with the charge plugged in and without the charger plugged in. Please help.

TL; DR When I boot up it says Windows failed to start, when I choose the options it powers off.

Meh EA are a business and if there's a chance for them to make money then they should. They have used online passes already with Fifa 11 which is one of the biggest selling games this year and the end of last year. Since battlefield 3 is a big title and lots of people are going to buy it, and undoubtedly some people will want to buy it used to save money, they may as well make more money. At the end of the day, EA are a business and the online pass thing makes money for them so if thye want to make more money then they have the right to, don't hate on them for making money.

Is it definitely a ring that goes right the way around the dsic, 'cause thta usually only happens when you move the 360 with the game playing in it. I had a game like this, and I rubbed toothpaste on the ring (i know right :P) then wiped it off with a tissue, and then it worked perfectly. You can also install a copy of the game onto your hard drive then the laser burned game will work fine. If your 360 is laser burning games wihtout being moved though, I think you may need a new one.

P.S Google the toothpaste thingy for more indepth instructions 'cause you gotta be careful when putting stuff on your games.

erm... you're f*cked. if you're gonna get a new xbox, get one of the new slim versions.

the venom vx comm's 1. it's under £10 new and is really reliable and great sound quality. Someone from here actually recommended it to me, I'm sorta passing the baton :P

Modern Warfare 2 was miles better in my opinion. I for one didn't like how you could buy attachments and camos in Black Ops, I sorta liked unlocking them after a bit of hard work.
