OK, can someone please tell me? How was this delivered? Canada Post? UPS? FedEx?

Mine didn't show today, so I'm curious.

Don't you have to install drivers from Xbox Live to get any BC to work? Only Halo 1 & 2 works out of the box if I'm not mistaken.

I'll work on the BC soon. First piece of bad news - the D-Pad SUCKS! It doesn't register like 10% of the time which is really bad.

Here's a pic I took, I already regret it :lol

100-127?

Damn, that sucks. I will have to add a bulky converter to an already bulky power supply, it´s going to look a monster. Thanks for that info (I asked my system to a shop in Canada, but I doubt it will be in Spain tomorrow :()

Please!, a need a clarification and it must be fast...

It´s true that the system requieres 207 watts?

I don´t know any converter capable to get me 207 watts. If this is true I could´t import the system at all (and I have it preordered). Need to know soon to cancel it if possible.

I would appreciate an answer.

Watts? (looks at plug) 203W. I dunno if that's you were looking for.

And I can't get on Xbox Live. Well... it knows its on Live, but it won't sign me in. I tried signing up two different ways, both didn't lead me to getting online. Anyone else get signed in yet?

And Fable does not work BC out of the box. I can't find my Halo 2 and I don't own Halo 1 so I'm out of luck on BC for now. Sorry.

According to the impressions I linked to no one has been able to sign in although it lets you get online.

F****, why the hell they need so much power?

Thank you a lot for the fast answer. Seems there won´t be Region 1 american Xbox 360 for me (In case I can cancel, if not I will have a nice useless white thing of 400$ :p).

Why isn't backward compatibility working?
Click to expand...
it's working for the two games that have support on the HDD... the other games won't work until an update is downloaded, and nobody can connect to LIVE with their 360, so BC is dead unless you have one of the Halo twins

I missed the UPS man because I had to be at school for my midterm today. :(

I was sad so I went and got Mario Kart DS and Castlevania DS at TRU ($10 off all DS games in Canada!).

I played the Kameo demo at EB and it confirmed my initial thoughts about the game. I'm definitely Ebaying it as soon as I get it. EB is only giving C$20 in trade for it. It's like they already know it's going to suck.

$20 Canadian for a game that hasn't had its console officially launch? :lol EB is stingy this year.

Just what I got.

Sorry I just got a shitty webcam, so really there isn't much I can show.

Congratulations on your win, if you have any games...feel free to start playing them now. That way when your Xbox 360 can connect to the service, your achievements will be uploaded for the world to see.

No. Microsoft should clarify that 7GB of the 20GB hard drive are consumed out of the box. 33% is a lot of hard drive usage for them to overlook it.

Have you bought a PC hard drive before? Hard drives never have the capacity stated on the box.

Not 7GB worth of space though. Windows (I forget what it actually does) reserves some space on the HDD itself. But i've never seen anything past 1-2GBs

And Arne never answered what took so much space since the emulation software was 35 MB. =/.

Just for fun, what if there is a game locked inside the hard drive that will be unlocked on launch day? Half-Life 2 and other big releases could easily fit in their entirety in 7GB. Hrmmmmmm.

Perhaps he was only referring to the emulation program itself, and the actual software .exe files take up the rest of the space.

Some of those preinstalled HD vids could easily be culprits. Definitely if they are pretty long videos each.
Click to expand...
The titanic ones are 15 minutes, the other 3 are about 8 minutes. So its about 40 minutes worth of video. I think they're all HD.

I said it before, but the D-Pad sucks balls. It doesn't work well at all. Did I get a defective one or is this just how it is?

7GB? Seems like a lot of space for execute files and what not. Besides, any future additions to the BC list would quickly decimate your hard drive space if they add more to the 200 already available (well, on the 22nd that is).
