My name is great for gaming. People can either call me duffman or, more usually, just 'duff'. It's so much easier to talk to people with names like that. Even if it means you have a load of numbers after your name, just use a simple one.

The latest fad for gamertags I've noticed is <random adjective> <random noun>. Please don't follow that either.
That's probably due to the "alternatives" that Microsoft provide when the gamertag you want is taken.

For example, if I wanted just "Zen", which is taken, then it'll give me a list of (crappy) alternatives such as:

"WackiestZen"
"PersonifiedZen"

etc.

Edit: Phazix, I had exactly the same problem as you except it rectified itself and I was using an out of date credit card for Live for about a month or so. I'm pissed off that you have to replace a card with another card though so I guess there's no cancel option available.

No, there's only one or two games that have that ability. Shadowrun and...something else, I think.
Halo 2 :)
And Universe at War, Lost Planet: Colonies.

You don't need a Gold membership to play those online.

Not that anyone does play them anyway.

should be useful when youre able to install full games on the HD.


ive still got like 90GB (89.6) left on mine as i usually delete all videos and demos and such after viewing/playing them. cant wait til i can install stuff like mass effect, where the awkward loads and texture pop-in ruin a truly great experience. though i think ill only use it for games like that...and ninja gaiden 2, just so i can have a smooth experience, an awkwardly placed load time can really screw you up on higher difficulties in that.

Same I have 2.6 left. xD I really really don't want to have to buy another one either, but I probably will when the game download stuff comes out. All I need now is a job. :P

Microsoft is ripping us off on the hard drives. Hopefully when the 60GB Premium is released more widespread (it's been spotted in the NYC Target store already) the prices will drop a bit. They'll make a lot of money out of selling the drives cheaply when the install feature comes out with the next dashboard update...

It took me ages to find the cash to get my current 20GB one, I'm not letting this one go for some silly feature :P

I mean, what's the point? It'd actually make sense if it weren't for the fact you have to keep the disc in the drive..

Yeah, but if they didn't require the disc in the drive people could rent games and download them for free. Rentals and retail purchases plummet after that.

Could you not just put the game on the HD, make an illegal disk and then sell the original?
