Grand Theft Auto IV - Did you buy it?

I’ve finally heard back from Microsoft and they let me know that they’ve been able to fix the “known issue” I was experiencing that was keeping me from connecting to the Xbox LIVE service with my Xbox 360.
The only thing I’ve really done online at this point is to play a few games of […]

An Update on Some Past Issues

I’ve been getting some activity in the comments about some of my previous posts and thought I’d share an update to announce how things are going and where we’re standing on a few different topics:

Xbox 360 - Xbox LIVE Connection Issues Follow-Up

I finally got a chance to call Microsoft (1-800-4MY-XBOX) about my issues with connecting to XBOX LIVE.
After a number of minutes on the phone with one customer service rep (Thanks Frank!) I was escalated up to another tech that informed me that this was a known issue and I should be hearing back from […]

Xbox Live Connection Issues

With my recent AT&T U-verse install, I decided to install the wireless router in my living room right next to the TV. Part of the reason for this was so I could run a wired ethernet connection to my Xbox 360 again and get back online and use the Xbox Live membership I’ve paid […]

Xbox 360 Spring Update Launches

Microsoft has announced the release of their spring updates for the Xbox 360 console and Live service. Saying it’s just for Xbox 360 though would be not quite accurate.
With their latest release, anyone with a Windows Vista PC can sign onto Live and play the same games you’ve been falling in love with through the […]

More Xbox 360 Fun

My son and I have been enjoying more of the features and entertainment that are available with the Xbox 360 Live system. He particularly likes the variety of free little retro-games that are available to play. We’ve ended up downloading and purchasing the full versions of Uno and Contra so far.
My problem with all the […]

Gears of War

My brother-in-law got this game and said he’s got to come over and play it with me on my TV. He and I played Halo and Halo 2 together frequently when they came out. He says Gears of War is better than Halo. I’m skeptical, but from what I’ve seen it looks like a pretty […]

Microsoft and EA Privacy Spies

Be careful with that new EA sports game you just bought for yourself and your Xbox 360. With the NFL football season starting, Madden ‘07 is going to be the big popular title and will be available August 22nd I believe.
Did you know that when you keep clicking on “I Agree” when signing up for […]

Halo 3 Is the End?

Announcements today that Bungie Studios will be releasing Halo 3 next year. That’s some really great news, of course I’d love for it to be 2006 instead of 2007, but I’m upset too.
Bungie announces Halo 3, the third and final game in the Halo Trilogy. Halo 3 will be released for Microsoft’s Xbox 360 in […]

Xbox Live Diamond Card

Got an e-mail today letting me know that my Xbox Live Diamond Card is on it’s way. Honestly I can’t even remember the benefits of having an Xbox Live Diamond Card. I’m sure there’s probably something I need to really get my Xbox Live account going again. Ever since I got my new Wi-Fi G […]
