How can you tell if a game has pausing in cutscenes programmed in without trying it? I've found that some do but I'm reluctant to test it out on games because if it doesn't pause, it might very well just skip the scene.
I found that hitting the 360 dashboard button will often (but not always) pause it, hitting the PS3 home button usually NEVER pauses it, and the Wii home button ALWAYS pauses it.

thanks ultron
new question: I read (from here) that letting your Xbox Live account expire can cause some headaches down the road later if you try to renew. Something about your gamertag might not necessarily be available anymore, can anyone clear this up for me? it sounds totally bogus

When I did customer service for Xbox, I was told that once someone claims a gamertag, it's gone forever. Even if they change from Apollo1 to Apollo2, Apollo1 will never be usable by anyone ever again.Gryphter said:
If that's still true, I doubt they'd let someone else take your name. That was a few years ago, though, so I don't know if anything has changed.

If you add a pirate version of a non-valve PC game to steam (in the Add non steam game section), how fast will you be busted for it?

Does anyone have an audio file or know of a website that has the audio of the gargoyles in Fable 2? They were my favorite part of the game, and I wanted to hear their taunts again.

if you upgrade from a 360 elite to a slim, how do you transfer HDD date? does the latter come with a cable?
also, is there any use for my memory card upon getting such system? i like being able to take my account/saves about with me.

You can use a USB memory stick to transfer accounts/game saves (it will completely format the memory stick first though so be warned). Then you can transfer your license for all the DLC and redownload it to the new console. To do the transfer follow the link below.IrishNinja said:

It all worked for me...
friskykillface said:does anyone know if a 12 month xbox 1 , live card work with a 360 system?
i think i heard that the old xbox 1 xbox live cards don't work for the xbox 360.
the ones that usually come in these boxes, i saw one for $3 and wanted to know
so i can pick it up.
I bought a couple for £1 each and they sure do! Or did when I bought it just over a year ago, the headsets also work with the 360 controller.

ah, hadn't thought of that...thanks man! now all i gotta sort is if my memory card can still be made to work...
Not sure if this deserves its own thread, so I'll just put it here:
Which is the best Mario Party? Me and some friends are thinking of getting one to play over the ongoing break, and we obviously want the best one. We own all the consoles that it has appeared on, so that won't be a problem. We also already have 2nd and 4th installment.

New Super Mario Bro's for the Wii is awesome. It's also the only one I played. I also never played Mario Party so I probably didn't answer your question. Sorry
My question: My MW2 is messed up. I installed the game to my 360 so I can play it. This worked flawlessly for months but now..when I joined a game and the map was loading, there was blue and yellow squares on the map image. As soon as it was suppose to start, it would freeze the whole system. What I don't understand is, if it's installed, shouldn't it not have to run off the disk (therefore not get messed up?)
I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling but now every time I get to the 'Start' screen it says unable to read disk. Wut teh fook? :[

If anyone's on the bench about cracking open their old xbox 360 harddrive and sticking it into the new 4GB slim, do it! It is so freaking easy. I broke open the old one, and grabbed the harddrive, then just plugged it straight into the new one. It's super easy, do it and save yourself a lot of $. It's cool to, because it doesn't void your warranty, get you banned, or ruin anything. And it even displays it as an official Microsoft HDD on your dashboard.

Where did Mega CD store it's game saves. A few of the games I tried didn't seem to have a "delete save" option either, so did the storage fill up after time?

In CoD:MW2, how the fuck do people aim+shoot+go prone all at the same time?

on the internal memory/ram , 64KB one ( yeah SEGA is so awesome and was always years ahead of everyone ) , but it's small so you need a ram cartridge/Megacart (that you put into the Megadrive slot and then it work as memory cart) if you want extra saves storage.

In Resident Evil: Director's Cut (here accessed via psn) does the music seem like.. completely awful to anyone else? Like someone just facerolling the keys over and over? I swear the original RE had better music.

I'm going to chime in on this one and say that Mario Party 2 (which you already have) is the best of them. Though, many would say that the very first Mario Party is still the best, so take that for what it's worth. I'd say either Mario Party 1 or 2 are good choices.Jokab said:
If your friends feel like sticking to Gamecube stuff, I've only played 4 and 5. They both have decent minigames. The latter has more interesting board layouts.
A sensible ordering would probably be 2>1>4=5, when it comes to the Mario Party titles. I will say that I've played MP8 as well, but....it's not even worth mentioning.

Does Media Go count as one of your 5 devices for PSN accounts?
The HDMI is busted on my PS3 slim. I've tried with multiple cables, including brand new ones. It works for ten minutes and just dies. So I've been playing games in SD, which is pretty awful but its better then not playing games at all.
However, GT5 is coming out soon and I am not playing it on SD, so I'm considering a component cable for now. I looked at the PS3 Component Cable on Amazon, and it looks like the end which plugs into the PS3 is rectangular, which can be either the regular composite out or the HDMI one. Obviously, if it plugs into the HDMI out, it's most likely not going to work, and in that case I shouldn't bother and just send the system into Sony. If it's the regular composite out, then I'm good.

How well or poorly have Phantasy Star 1 - 4 aged? I've kind of been in an RPG mood lately and I have Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection so I have all four of these games. I'd like to play them in order, but not if they're too annoying. I don't want to have to stop to grind every ten minutes.
I've never played them before so I don't have any feelings of nostalgia for them.

I'm really no expert when it comes to the series but I would say Phantasy Star 1 would be pretty tough to play unless you like to map out the dungeons on graph paper while you play. Confusing first person mazes basically. The rest should be less of a chore to play though. I'd say start with 2 though I don't remember it all that well.

I played through the first Phantasy Star (GBA version) for the first time in 2008 and it wasn't that great. It was most likely a very impressive game back in the late '80s, but unless you're nostalgic for the series you probably won't have that much fun. All characters have fixed skills and there aren't many items in the game. You're also going to need some graph paper to make it through the dungeons (or GameFAQs). It's fairly short. I completed it in less than 20 hours (with downloaded maps).
EA Sports makes NBA (Live) and NFL (Madden) series of sports video games, and they also make the NCAA series of those respective sports. Is there any difference between the pro and college versions of the games besides the choice of teams you can play as? I'm not a sports guy, so I can't understand why anyone would want to buy the NCAA version when they can just play the 'professional' version. I read that NCAA doesn't even license the players' names in the games.

I recently picked up a fairly complete SNES console. It's missing some of the inserts and watnot. My main question though is, Is there a resource for what was included with different old school console bundles. I'm looking for as much detail as possible with pictures and everything, even down to twist ties and plastic wrap. Thanks in advance

So is this the only PS3 game with an alternate colour for the bar on top of the cover? I'm tempted to get it just for that
