Blow on it, then try again with your 360 upside down.

If that doesn't work, glare at it until intimidated into submission.

Seriously, this 360 freezes less rotated 55 degrees clockwise from the vertical.

 

[Captain N]

It's probably worth the risk. You need in as soon as possible, and the only thing you've got in your house is possessions.

what be your gamertag yo?

 

[thatbox]

anohako! Hit me up!

 

[+Aliken+]

ah, I got the code!

now if only the working day would end...

 

[Captain N]

anohako! Hit me up!

your achievement score sickens me.

 

[MrDaravon]

your achievement score sickens me.

I looked thinking it was going to be really high or something :lol

 

[Aaron]

If the Crackdown download is good within the next hour, I'll be up for games. I wasn't all excited about this, but now it's so close, the waiting is murder.

 

[Captain N]

I looked thinking it was going to be really high or something :lol

haha yeah..not quite high enough..thatbox..did you get the system just for this halo 3 beta?

 

[Tieno]

Heh, the H3 beta Red vs Blue is great!:lol

I've only had Live for a week - got it just for this. It was 460 on my original account of cetteboite, but there was a snafu and I had to switch, losing all of my hard work!

I was only kidding, but I'll see you on Halo 3 in like a half hour when it finishes download..

 

[Captain N]

according to Bungie.net it has started.

 

[thatbox]

According to my sixty dollars and all-nighter it hasn't

 

[Captain N]

According to my sixty dollars and all-nighter it hasn't

same here..I am waiting for it..this is driving me crazy.

 

[luffeN]

According to my sixty dollars and all-nighter it hasn't

yeah, whats up with that.. we literally payed for the beta but enough of this, have fun to those already playing

 

[thatbox]

also i just got a disc error

 

[AtomicShroom]

according to Bungie.net it has started.

Here it still says there's 54 mins to go on Bungie.net. Which seems about right.

 

[sevenchaos]

also i just got a disc error

Ouch. I hope that doesn't happen to any of us once the beta is live.

 

[Melhisedek]

54 loooong minutes :/

 

[Son of Godzilla]

Bungie.net is based off local time. Or something. Mine was counting down to 4 PDT.

 

[thatbox]

Ouch. I hope that doesn't happen to any of us once the beta is live.

Got another, but it's working now. I'll make sure not to exit out of Crackdown again until I'm downloading the thing!

 

[Eric WK]

Why do I have a feeling 8:00 is going to come and go with us yet to be downloading?

 

[Hyrup66]

Why do I have a feeling 8:00 is going to come and go with us yet to be downloading?

cough* Prey demo *cough

 

[darkressurection]

Why do I have a feeling 8:00 is going to come and go with us yet to be downloading?

Because Microsoft is trying to meet a release date for marketplace.

 

[Gav]

50 minutes to go.

Or about 5 and a half hours for me. Damn work

 

[thatbox]

Why do I have a feeling 8:00 is going to come and go with us yet to be downloading?

I was going to say that too. I have very little hope of this going off without a hitch.

 

[Eric WK]

cough* Prey demo *cough

Lest we forget.

 

[AtomicShroom]

I was going to say that too. I have very little hope of this going off without a hitch.

Watch as the download goes at 0.2k/sec.

 

[Sho Nuff]

49 minutes

I don't think this will end well

 

[NinSoX]

You guys are still waiting? I'm glad I'm not in your position. My enjoyment for this game in September will be magnified

 

[sevenchaos]

49 minutes

I don't think this will end well

Tragedy in the making indeed.

 

[thatbox]

49 minutes

I don't think this will end well

Ending in any form requires starting. Which is looking very questionable.

 

[Sullichin]

Well, i'm a little pissed that the beta codes got sent out to the rule of 3 people, but at the very least it's going to take some of the load off when the beta launches from crackdown. This is ****ing microsoft, if they can't provide the servers to download this, no one can.

 

[thatbox]

This is ****ing microsoft, if they can't provide the servers to download this, no one can.

We're doomed.

 

[darkressurection]

I don't think MS can afford screwing this up because if they do the backlash will be ENORMUS!(sp? it is early give me a break)

 

[Patrick Bateman]

I don't think MS can afford screwing this up because if they do the backlash will be ENORMUS!

Millions of angry nerds crying at home?

 

[college_boy]

And 111 pages later the open beta begins, have fun everyone!

 

[sevenchaos]

And 111 pages later the open beta begins, have fun everyone!

What exactly are you trying to say?

 

[Eric WK]

Well it appears some people who got in through the first couple of phases are yet to receive codes or got codes that don't work.

I'd rather be in this position than in theirs.

 

[thatbox]

And 111 pages later the open beta begins, have fun everyone!

I'm going to go with option A, that you're a Rule of Three guy who's going to make fun of us all when nothing happens at 8 EST?

 

[Sullichin]

It's not up in crackdown yet. 5 more pages of bitching and waiting.

 

[darkressurection]

Millions of angry nerds crying at home?

Exactly.

 

[Gantz]

**** why I can't I download the beta with my Crackdown disk. Oh crap I just got a code in my email to download the beta from Marketplace. It's downloading fast though

 

[thatbox]

The position of a method that has been demonstrated to work seems better than the position of a method that has been left out in the cold so far.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Actually, isn't the opposite? We don't have to wait for an email.

Go away!

 

[Sullichin]

No, but we have to wait for a magic button to turn blue and hope that our 360 reads the disc whenever we want to play.

 

[Eric WK]

Yeah, but they seem to be in the minority. Much more likely to get ****ed over.

 

[thatbox]

Actually, isn't the opposite? We don't have to wait for an email.

But people have been getting emails, downloading and playing the beta all night/morning. My faith in the de-greyification of a menu option in a game that can't even consistently load road geometry is significantly lower than my faith in the communications medium of email.

 

[SonnyBoy]

Why is it telling me the demo isn't available yet?
