Hey guy, i have had the xbox 360 for over a month now and i need a few questions that i need answering ...

1) Are achievements saved on the net or on the actual hard drive? And it is it possible to lose achievement like if i change my hard drive?

2) When does the xbox live marketplace update?

3) Does installing a game on your hard drive make it better than not installing it or is there no difference?

That's it for now guys.

It is saved on Microsoft's servers (so no worries about losing achievements), and Xbox LIVE MP usually updates on Wednesdays but I did hear somewhere it could be changing to Thursdays (not completely sure) and installing games on the hard drive is better because it puts less work on the DVD-ROM drive and the noise of a disc spinning is greatly reduced.

I hope they drop the price, and get rid of the dreaded errors and problems, or at least lower the failure rates to 10-15%. Then i'll definitely buy it.

The consoles are actually fairly reliable now..most of the RROD problems have been addressed (still exist, but not as prevalent). And a price drop is a hit or miss..I think if there's a Slim 360 announced then a price drop is almost imminent.

I thought it would be much more popular.I think it is great one of the best this gen

Definitely not the best, it's a great game though, but it does feel like it could have been so much more to it. I wish there was more guns and better puzzles..and ultimately the ending was a joke. I'm not really interested in the DLC content either. The graphics were lacking as well..so all of these elements combined could lead to it not being interesting to many people.

[QUOTE="spazzx625"]I see no downsides to achievements, really...If anything, they increase replay value. I play games to play them, but I also play to get achievements if I don't have to go to too much trouble.

I agree..and trying to get the achievements is actually fun, and to hear that pop up sound Microsoft seems to have masterfully crafted makes me feel accomplished (in a gaming sense of course).

And when you finally do go to a site you wanna be on, the PS3 web browser can't even display it right or play the videos etc. Honestly, I don't even use the web browser no more because it crashes so often and I don't like having to unplug my console to reset it (if you have the slim like me).

If I were to go just off of videos I would think the reviews were spot on. The game just looks terrible imo.

I personally hate the ame for the following reasons

-noobtoobera

-claymores

-campers

-maps sucks

-spec ops sucks

-lag

-new kill streaks

What do you think about Modern Warfare 2?

Well you're in the minority on that one, because this game is the best selling game racking in over 1Billion $$$

Untill you break it again!

That's when it'll break!

ShAbInAtOr

It's not his fault it broke odds are, the hardware is faulty. It's really inevitable so it's really Sony's fault. And from the sound of it, his maintenance fixed the issue. Or are you just gonna defend a big corporation selling defective merchandise? I'd love to know how anyone can break a video game console unless they're beating it (which is highly unlikely)..it just sits there for christ sakes..lol..it's not like you take it to the store and it acidently gets dropped. These consoles breaking IS NOT user error..it's DEFECTIVE!!!
