Microsoft Xbox Fails with Hard Drive Migration Kit’s

Microsoft Xbox is really starting to fail at the moment. Why? Because of their Xbox 360 Hard Drive Migration Kit’s. You can NOT find these in-stores. You can only order them for approximately $14 through them by calling them. I would really, really like to know why is this? and what genius thought of this. Because he or she is not only a fucking moron but should be fired. Maybe I am sounding a bit harsh but not really, read on.

Here is my problem: Xbox 360 dropped their prices this past Friday. On Saturday my launch system console received the E74 error message. Coincidence? I would think not. My Xbox 360 is obviously out of warranty since it’s a launch system console, almost 4 years old in just about 2 1/2 months. I do not want to just give away my launch system for $99 only to get a refurbished one so instead I decided to order the Xbox 360 Elite Fall 2009 edition from Amazon.

Here is where my problem gets worse, I want to transfer my 20GB HD over to my new 120GB when I get it tomorrow. I would love to start using the 120GB HD right away. It is almost for sure I will not be able to tomorrow and I will have to wait at least a week. No store sells the Xbox 360 Hard Drive Migration Kit. How ridiculous is that? I am so, so surprised no one on eBay is selling them either because 99% of people should not need them after they have used it. Yes, you can find third-party ones from Hong Kong on there. But the disc to transfer probably will come in PAL format, be unreadable and I am not waiting weeks for it to get here from Hong Kong. So that is not an option, the only legit one I found is from Canada and that will still take too long to get here.

So to end this, Microsoft Xbox, you should really think about putting the Hard Drive Migration Kit’s in-stores. Why you don’t all these years is beyond me. Especially since you sell them WITH separate 120GB hard drives in which my case, that would be a huge waste of money since I have a 120GB HD coming with the console. Also the fact that I have seen that it does have its own packaging so why even bother making packages for it if you still have not put them in-stores? You may as well just not do that to make it look pretty and throw them in a box when you ship them to someone.

Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition Unboxing

Hell mother fucking ya! Real fucking night vision goggles. Count me in for this one for sure, I bet it’s price will be $129. Either way, without a doubt already purchasing this one. This is probably the best “special edition” packaging to ever come out by ANY video gaming company.

Cheat Codes in Video Games

Remember years ago when there were many cheat codes to use in Video Games? Now a days there seem to be much, much less of this. While we all know a lot of this has to do with games being much easier to play, difficulty wise or not. Also due to Achievements on Xbox 360 or the recent addition of trophies of PlayStation 3.

Now I am not writing about missing them, wanting them back or anything like that. Things are fine the way they are. But having seen a tweet on Twitter weeks ago is what is making me write a post about this. Now time to time, you do find cheat codes have been added to some recent games and even some allow you them to be used to gain achievements (not that you in a sense are really achieving anything by doing that).

But just take a look at how games use to be really hard back than where it required you to use a cheat if it were available or use one to make it less frustrating from you, games like Contra or Bionic Commando and much more that I am sure you can think of by yourself too.

Hell there were many websites, some more popular than others that allowed you an easy place to get those cheat codes like CheatCC and more. They still exists though and probably always will. But they are just nothing like they use to be and probably as visited as much as they use to be too.

Well I just wanted to touch base on this a little and not write too long of a discussion on it, much more I could say though.

Bethesda Announces 2 More New Fallout 3 DLC

Bethesda announced today two more new Fallout 3 Downloadable Content for all versions including Xbox 360. The first DLC is called Point Lookout and it lets you explore a massive new swampland area filled with new quests and content. It will be released in late June for Xbox 360 and PC for 800 Microsoft Points ($9.99).

Mothership Zeta is the second DLC, scheduled for release in late July for Xbox 360 and PC for 800 Microsoft Points ($9.99). In Mothership Zeta, the aliens have returned, and they’re pissed. Experience an alien abduction first hand and find out if you’re tough enough to survive.

I am much more looking forward to Mothership Zeta not that I expect Point Lookout to be anywhere not good though. Bethesda has really been pushing out great new DLC for Fallout 3 this year and it has all been great so far, I am getting so much more out of this game then originally thought.

XBL Gold Subscribers finally getting a feature over Silver members.

Did you know that Xbox Live has never given its Gold Subscribers nothing over Silver members? Well finally that day has come and even later than it was suppose too. Back when the NXE update came out in November 2008, a new feature was to come to Xbox Live called 1 vs 100. Now finally, it is coming this Spring.

Do not count on them giving you more though now over Silver members. While Xbox Live is not too expensive and other consoles do offer it for free, Xbox Live is still the best experience. But when you really think about Xbox Live and nit pick at it, it really sucks sometimes minus being able to play online with friends of the features that Silver members do get still, even if they have to wait a day to get some of them (like demos).

Fallout 3: Broken Steel arrives May 5th

For you Fallout 3 fans out there, get ready for May 5th as the third final part of the announced DLC content comes out, Broken Steel. This is a much larger DLC than from the past 2 DLC releases. This not only fixes the main story line allowing you to continue from the ending rather than not but it also gives you a level cap increase from 20 to 30. Yet alone, many more hours of Fallout fun, more main quests and side quests along with a bunch of new perks to choose from when leveling up with to 30. Enemies will be much harder to defeat too with this.

Fallout Movie or TV show in the works?

Fallout may soon be making the big screen jump. Bethesda Softworks, the company behind the most recent Fallout game, Fallout 3 has registered a trademark, claiming the Fallout name for “entertainment services in the nature of an on-going television program” and in another filing, securing the trademark for “motion picture films about a post-nuclear apocalyptic world.”

I hope either or comes true. Fallout is such a great game, especially with all the new DLC content and next one coming out May 5th as well as Fallout New Vegas being announced the other day that will not be a sequel but still be in the same era.
