I am going to start playing God Hand for the first time this week. Will normal difficulty have me pulling my hair out? Should I start out on easy?

Does 360 output 1080p over component? Was setting up friend's new 1080p tv and the 360 would only output at 720p. I have used VGA connection since I got mine, so I'm not sure.

It definitely should work, maybe have them try checking their display settings on the 360.
 
What game should I play next?

Icewind Dale 2
Alpha Protocol
Monkey Island 2

Does the DLC games for Borderlands playable with a new character (starting @ lvl. 1)?

If I recall correctly, you can access the DLC, but some of it doesn't scale to your character's level. I know Zombie Island does, but I'm not sure about the rest.

Maybe. :P It's pretty tough, even on Easy.

So I have a PSP-2000, and I'm thinking of upgrading to a 3000, but I keep hearing about how there's a 4000 in the works, and that it's supposed to be released by the end of the year (which I doubt is still even true). When I got the 2000, the 3000 came out about half a year later, which bummed me out, so if I take the plunge and do get the 3000, I don't want the 4000 to come out a few months later.

So basically I'm asking, would it be a good idea to upgrade right now? My 2000 is pretty beat up since I didn't really take great care of it, especially during travel...
 
Is it cool to leave my ps3 on as I do my pc. Even when not in use I prefer to just leave my game on pause then go back to it later.
 
On Windows 7 64 bit, whenever I try to push the Windowed game I'm playing up off the top of the screen a bit to get rid of the top bar with the Minimize/Maximize/Exit icons, it always snaps it back into place on the screen fully.

Is there a way I can turn that off?
 
My X360 slim has suddenly stopped connecting to my wireless network, has been fine since i got it, played a load of fable 3, stopped a couple of weeks back then turned it on today again and no connection.

Go into network settings, run through setup again, it sees my network, enter WPA passcode again (which I double checked by reconnecting my mobile to wifi) and it cannot connect, error message is that my passcode is wrong but it can't be. Console hasn't been moved or anything out the ordinary, just been sat there. Any ideas?
 
Since the Xbox 360 was called that so the Xbox 2 wouldn't be going against the PlayStation 3 will the next Xbox be Xbox 4ever? I don't think they would want their full HD system being called 720

Is it possible to export a saved game from DS games to one of those R4 things people keep talking about? I'd like to have my Dragon Quest IX saved elsewhere in case something should ever happen to my cart. On the same note, if such a thing is possible, can I also turn around and transfer the file back to the original cart?
Click to expand...
Yep. You can even play it off the R4 and then transfer the save back.
 
Does buying used games on Gamestop.com give you a better chance of getting an actual cover insert instead of one of those generic cardstock abominations with the game title written in sharpie that you would find in store?
 
In RE5, do you have to get all of the BSAA emblems in one playthrough or can you achieve this over multiple playthroughs?

Dunno, I'v just always wondered, say if Sony sell £20 came card to retailer who then sell the £20 game card to customer for £20, then it's only Sony making any money from it?

In the same way I have have always wondered about shops offering top up credit for phones, do the shops get a cut?

Or do they only provide them because they know it draws customers into the shop and hope they buy something else?

I have no idea how it works.
 
Can the 360 play .wav music files off of my portable hard drive? All Google's results talk about streaming via PC, which I don't do.

The 4000 rumors have pretty much stopped, but a PSP2 announcement seems to be on the way. I would wait it out and see what happens.
 
I can't use the Gym in GTA San Andreas. CJ has zero muscle but every time I try to use equipment to work out, it says, "You have worked out enough today, come back tomorrow." It's been like this for a long time, I've tried all the gyms and have gone there on multiple days, I think it is just glitched. It doesn't bother me that much, but if there is a quick fix I'd like to know. Thanks for any help.

FYI, I'm playing it on PS2 from a save that I started way back when it came out in 2004

You know you can play chapters over and over again. There's not really a playthrough in RE5.

Easy it is! If the game is as good as GAF has hyped it, it sounds like a game that may be worth multiple playthroughs anyway. I'll ramp up the difficulty if I find it worth playing through more than once.

Disabling Mouse Window Drag Arranging

1) Open up your Control Panel, and then go to the Ease of Access center. From there, click on “Make the mouse easier to use”…

2) And then remove the checkbox for “Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen”, and then click the Apply button to actually save the setting.

technically it should but its been a long time since i researched this. i think its more an issue with the TV than the 360 if it doesn't go to 1080p. 1080p over component looks weird to me anyway; not to mention i had serious color banding on the TV i tried it on. you can't tell 720 from 1080 at an optimal viewing distance anyway.

I always heard that component can't do 1080p? From any source?

Not true, PS3 can do 1080p over component. You will run into problems with HDCP content though (pretty much all blu-rays and some games)

it depends on the display. some sets will accept a 1080p signal over component, and the 360 didn't even support it until about a year after it came out.
 
Is Amazon ever going to get the 250GB 360s back in stock? My 360 died and I have a CC through them as well as a Prime account so I can get it, next day shipping. I guess my question is, why is Amazon the only retailer that has not on 360 SKU in stock?
 
I just recently bought two copies of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Ultimate edition during the B1G1 50% off deal at Amazon. I intend on trading one of them back into Amazon so that I will essentially have bought Battlefield: BC 2 Ultimate for a measly $14. But I jsut thought of a way to potentially make more money (possibly $10-$15).

My question is if I keep the DLC cards from the copy i'm trading in, will Amazon still accept it? The way I see it, I'm trading in a used game. It shouldn't be a problem right?
 
Roto13 said:
You're planning to sell DLC cards? :lol
Click to expand...

Yeah, why let them rot right? I could sell them on ebay/craigslist pretty easily i think. If it nets me $10-$15 its worth it.

So does Amazon accept a used copy of a game with no DLC cards?

Oh god, I have 2 PC boxes full on my work desk. I wish I had time to scan the Space Quest 4 and 5 manuals/faux national enquirer.
