that really sucks...

but yea, 360's will do that....

I actually feel like its a kind of rite of passage to have your 360 die on you, it's happened to almost all of us...to some more than once...

...maybe it can come with achievement points or a notice next to your gamer profile, like 5 years on Live and 2 360 deaths

:smug2:

Mine would say 5 years and 1 360 death back in 2008.

 

[Leftwich]

Mine would say 2. My one from launch that just died today and the one i got my dad for his birthday.

which was better? i always read the 360 version looked better

I didn't notice any graphical differences honestly, but I only played one game and it was at Soldier Field, an outdoor stadium. I know the indoor shadows and such are supposed to be the issues.

I was mainly referring to the online play. I never noticed a hitch. My buddy kept saying it played slower than how it usually plays, probably because I'm wireless, but it just seemed like playing it on The slow speed setting to me. The most important thing was that I didn't get disconnected like I routinely would on PS3.

And now my xbox is dead.

How old is it?

Edit: Never min. Just saw your post above.

Are you hardwired or wireless for your PS3?

Speaking of which, I have no idea why my Live only shows six years. I've had the same Live account since the original Xbox days, going back to at least 2003. No idea how I only have credit for six years.

Wireless. But I'm wireless on 360 as well and didn't have any issues. I hope to be wired soon though.

i have my 360 setup on a static IP because its the console u use online the most.

u may want to put your ps3 on a static IP. its very easy to do even if you have no experience.

check this link

then be sure to continue to the next link

they use the dlink in the example. but the same options are in every router out there.

I'm pretty sure I used that exact site years ago when I was having an issue with an older router. I followed it step by step and it ended up fucking up my connection to my 360.

So is Madden 12 as bad as I have been reading?

I guess everyone here hates it (bitter) but I'm having a great time with it. I realize though that it's never going to be perfect football.

 

[Rylo]

True. I'll probably still end up getting it regardless I just hope it isn't too unplayable lol.

 

[Leftwich]

Just took my old HD out of my rrod 360 and put it in my new one. That was too easy.

 

[Bomberooski]

So you're back up and running Leftwich?

Damn straight. Not even micro$oft can keep me down.

I like it, but the PS3 version has issues. Audio popping, muddy graphics in spots. If you get it get it for 360 so we can play.

Anybody doing any MP gaming tonight? I feel like maybe some UC3 tonight.

 

[Maynard]

i like madden 12. i just didnt feel like waiting around to see if they would fix the rain glitch and the undrafted fa glitch. gameplay was solid and i thought it was fun. playing in the rain every dam time was annoying as fuck though
