Sorry last two posters, I don;t know the techncial stuff..

Anyway,
I have noticed that the new controllers have a crappy trigger button (r1 on playstation0. Seeing as I only play Pro Ev is makes sprinting difficult, is there anywhere you can order the original joypads?

They have always had them on the xbox, the PS3 has followed suit as well.

Wondering could you lads help me out?
I bought a controller of eBay and it comes on when you press the xbox button, but then when you try to sync it, it cant find the xbox.
I cannot get it to work at all, was just wondering are controllers region specific like the games.
Bought it from an UK seller so should be OK?
Could I sen it back to XBOX?

Are you pressing the buttion on the xbox and the controller?

not sure if it's been mentioned before but anyone know why i cant copy mp3's that i've downloaded onto my xbox and is there a way of doing it? i've tried copying them to a cd and copying them over but its no use.

Don't think you can copy from CD, put them on a USB stick .

Sorry lads, did not make myself clear.

When i got the xbox360 the trigger was fine, but when i bought newer controllers they had changed that r1 position trigger, sprinting in pro ev is far harder with the new style button. Looks identical but there is an extremely subtle, but crucial, difference.

Aye, got it myself on Friday, really like it though only played through about 15% or so, trying to get shadow complex finished first.

What sort of game is batman? I normally only play sports games but have heard good reports about Batman. Is it hard?

I normally only play shooting, sports or racing but I like batman.

I suppose it's a mixture of stealth and fighting. Can you not download the demo to see if you like it or even watch some videos of it on you tube?

Guys,
My xbox live account has ran out so I don't play online anymore, but the xbox is still physically attached to my router. On Friday it asked me to install an update. It took ages but installed.
I play movies I've downloaded off a usb hard drive plugged into the xbox. Since I downloaded the update, none on my mp4 or avi movies on the hard disk will play. It throws up a message saying that an update needs to be installed to play the file type, I try and install the update and it says its already been downloaded, I download again and it just continues in this circle.

Have any of the rest of you had this problem?

Also, when playing halo, can 2 people play online using the same xbox with split screen? think i might pay for xbox live again

Hmmm I had a problem like that few weeks ago but I went manually in to something to find the download that allowed me to watch the stuff and downloaded it again and it was fine. If you look through the marketplaces you might find it. I'm trying to find it here now but it's not connected to the net so I dont have full access to those sections.

Failing that Id ring them or even try the xbox forums, there's the offical forum and http://forum.teamxbox.com/, (which is quite good) maybe you could ask on there.
