AWESOME – I’m so changing my msn to the Capture audio when someone signs into msn

niceeeeee downloadedddd

The potential for awesome is great with these treats. I’ll have to download them when I get home but I think a new ringtone might not be too far off.

Thanks!

Nice, I think the PKE Meter is going to be my new Twitter tone on my phone.

Downloaded
Wish you could customise the sound of popups on the 360… that would be awesome.

Screensaver Ghostbust’in Time. “I ain’t ‘fraid no idle time.” Thanks.

:sigh: Now if only I had the game.

Incidentally there is something I have not seen covered.

If people in the UK import the US version of Ghostbusters – is that classed as owning the game before release and so risking a wipe of our gamerscore?

Links appear to be broken

Can’t Download it , says that the file doesn’t exist.

broken for me too.

I hope you guys love it!!!! Major rules!

i have same problem file dont exist

Getting a “file does not exist” error.

Link is broken

Could someone who already downloaded the file could upload it and post the link here
if it is allowed here.

thanks

I’m still laughing about the GhostBusters PS3 exclusive !!!!
thanks to activision for this region free and multilanguages game

Looks like we broke Libysn…let me work on getting that fixed

404 = tears.

All fixed! Try again.

awesomeness Major…. awesomeness

work now – thanks.

@Alex Atkin UK
The game is out and you imported it. Your score shouldn’t be affected. Early games are legal, it’s the ‘theft’ and pirating that is wrong. The thing you might want to worry about is if it is region locked – not sure if it applies, but better to be safe than sorry. Right?

Just an FYI. but the MP3 file download is broken again.

It downloads as a 44kb file (and shows as a damaged archive if you attempt to uncompress it).

The WAV file still is downloading properly.

Thanks again for the files!

it works for me thanks Major!!

I’m having the same problem as Baron Brain:(

Hey Major, sorry to bother, but the summer clothes still are not available for everyone.

Thanks!

Thanks Major!

I love that you do this. I still use the Bioshock clips you posted a while back on my iPhone. Time to switch things up a bit.

is this true Major?…can’t see it myself,if it did happen,i hope they are nicely priced

http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/20041/Rumor-Microsoft-to-Release-1TB-Hard-Drive-for-Xbox-360/

Thanks Major… you really delivered! Shame there are only 4 sounds as the GB universe is FULL of great audio!

Lame. The game itself was horrible and likely only sold because of nostalgia (which this game ruined for me). I still like the Ghostbuster movies but this game was horrible and Terminal Reality has terrible developers. Not to mention that the Infernal Engine is garbage.

@DNAgent did you play this game on someone else’s 360 or on a PC/PS3?,its just that Ghostbusters isnt in your played games,and i have heard nothing but good things about the game..unfortunately i have to wait for the game to be released in Europe,if it ever will

Sweet, I love it when devs put out stuff like this!

IPhone3G ring tone

MP3 link works grand….thanks….

@metallicorphan Just import it (like me). Game want £45 for it in store and play.com want £40 online (for the PS3 version) I paid about £42 including postage to import it and delivery was less than a week. Check out videogameplus.ca

I’m having the same problem with the zip for the mp3s

Love the sounds. Thanks.

@metallicorphan [Off Topic]
Hmmm, not sure how I missed that. But they pose a good question:

Would you pay for a 1TB hard drive in order to start buying downloadable Xbox 360 games that are also available at retail stores?

With that kind of space, I’m sure I’d purchase it, but not download just retail games only (I like to have a solid product), more for videos and my own personal music (disconnect my FlashDrive). Sounds great, but will it be SSD? Or will it be as fast (or faster than) the Western Digital Raptor X hard drive?

And with digital downloads, there is are no shipping, duplication or import fees, etc, which means cheaper games? Thanks metal, even though it is just a rumor.

@DNA Agent

Um, are you sure you played the same Ghostbusters game that so many others are playing? The game is pure win, one of my favorite games released this year. Sure it has it’s Nostalgic draw to it, but it is easily THE BEST GAME BASED ON A MOVIE FRANCHISE EVER! I’ve played through the game twice already and have easily spent 10+ hours on the multiplayer and still can’t get enough. Any Ghostbusters fan should love this game, and most gamers should atleast have a entertaining play through of the story mode.

Im using the ROAR of the StayPuff Marshmellow man as my wake up in the mornings on my iPhone !! Wooo Hooo

I hate you Sony
I love you Atari

MP3 file is still broken as of a moment ago. It downloads a ~44KB file which is corrupt.

I love the StayPuft Rawr as a wake up call HAHAHAH

I love the StayPuft Rawr as a wake up call HAHAHAH

Can download the MP3.zip but it won’t work.

the WAV unpacked fine but the MP3 is broken. only displays “tubby soft squeeze” roar #2.

@warrengonline
-
i WOULD pay for a 1TB HDD,and then i WOULD start buying games through this download thing
-
but i would not pay a stupid amount of money for the 1TB…some for PC can be found that are cheaper than the 120HDD for the 360!!,but i certainly would like to have 1TB,i install a lot of my games also,and at the moment i am juggling stuff on and off the HDD which is a pain,i have a lot of Arcade games,but i have had to delete some of my Xbox Originals(Nanja Gaiden was 6gig)
-
still not sure why Microsoft doesn’t let us use a USB external HDD,and that would be problem solved

@metallicorphan
True, I would purchase maybe two or three casual titles. Being one with a 20GB HD with only 13GB to use, I’ve been juggling for a while. Games that have my slightest interest usually get skipped over, I’m just getting around to Kingdom for Keflings, although I’ve purchased newer games such as Peggle, Metal Slug 3, etc… I am not cheap, but when people buy stuff and not even take in account what they are getting it becomes standard, it worries me just a slight (I’m guilty of that too). I know the Xbox360 is not a PC or is it? And an External HD would be great, but we saw what happened on the Xbox System – Hacker Heaven. MS has to re-coup the losses somehow. Most need to understand that, but like you said, I will not overpay for something such as that personally.
-
I have a 16GB flashdrive for $39.99 (Radioshack: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3605639 – that’s a deal for my portable office apps) – keep in mind ‘No moving parts’. I’ve purchased a load of Burnout Paradise’s current DLC, won’t belong before Halo 3, Rock Band and Gears of War DLC is knixed off my HD for space.
-
As for installing games, I installed Mass Effect, played it for 5 minutes and uninstalled it. My personal experience was null as it took up 6GB of my HD.
-
“Whatever happened to just buying a game, playing it for a month and having pure fun?” Even better I wonder why we are still using optical when gruvi, microSD, SDHC, CompactFlash have made leaps and bounds in capacity and technology?

And lookie-lookie: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10884495 ; wow.

doesnt work for mac users :/

Really like the sound effects. I will probably use them in my Visual Effects Compilations (Personal Stuff)

The MP3 file is now fixed.

@Major Nelson
Think you can get this some attention:
http://www.digitalspy.com/gaming/a162217/sega-moonwalker-re-release-unlikely.html

It would be nice.

Even the original on XBLA as a part of the Sega Classics would be nice.

This has been a sad, sad, sad past 30 days. David Carradine The Ku Fung Master, Ed McMahon the Great, Farrah Fawcett the Hottest Angel in the Galaxy and now Michael the King of Pop and Unique and Original Dance Moves.

May they all rest in peace and never be forgotten.

Yay!

Hey Major, were you going to make a post about 1 vs 100 being available to Silver members this weekend, starting tonight? I just found out about it on g4tv.com. http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/696914/Microsoft-Allowing-Xbox-Live-Silver-Members-In-On-1-vs-100-This-Weekend.html

Is it just me or does Major actually have a game in his gamertag played games called Xbox 360 beta?

Wonder what that is.

Also Major.

Can you guys seriously up the amount of reminders we can make for 1vs100?

If your going to put out that many in the schedule for us to set up reminders on it would be nice to set the reminders up on all that are showing.

Thanks Major Nelson!

The MP3 download is definitely now downloading in full! Woohoo!

Also, being a Mac user, I can absolutely confirm that both audio archives uncompress correctly and work perfectly on Macs! (If you’re having a problem, make sure the required Quicktime codecs on your system are not missing or corrupted…)

@Warrengonline

Actually, having an external drive does not mean hacker heaven.

Its plenty easy enough to take the HDD off the side of the 360 and view its contents, but its not at all helpful except for transferring Xbox savegames and custom soundtracks for backwards compatibility (not savegames are compatible this way) or keeping a backup of your 360 HDD contents on your PC. Beyond that, you are no closer to hacking the 360 other than the save game hacks which Microsoft are banning people/wiping their gamerscore for using. The DRM used for the 360 protects everything else so they could just as easily be sat on an external USB drive.

It would be extremely useful to be able to download videos from marketplace to one even if it could only be viewed on the 360 it was downloaded with. It might be useful for Arcade games too, but it might not work for full game downloads or game installation as USB uses a lot more CPU time than native SATA does and is also a lot slower (in theory).

However as the 360 uses a 2.5″ SATA drive to begin with (which btw you CAN’T get a cheap 1TB drive in that size, a 500GB 2.5″ costs the same as a 1TB 3.5″) the drive speed may only be a problem for full games. I suspect installing a game to a USB hard drive would make it load a LOT slower than from DVD directly. However, I personally would probably prefer that to the noisy DVD drive although mostly, I just wish Microsoft would release a 500GB upgrade HDD for the 360. If it was the same price of the 120GB upgrade they would still be making a good profit.

Once full games are released for download people are going to get pissed at running out of HDD space. It would certainly be a big factory stopping me from downloading, my 120GB is always full and I wouldn’t want to delete one game to download another. I only keep games I play often on the HDD as its quick enough to install a game from DVD. If I bought a downloaded version of a game then did not play it often, I wouldn’t be able to delete it as it would take so long to download it again. So I would be unlikely to risk buying it in download format.

anyone else think that Major is teasing us with his xbox 360 Beta tile card and his Xbox logo T-shirt on his avatar?

The “Xbox 360 Beta” is for those individuals who are internally testing the Avatar Awards program announced at E3.

lol awesome im so putting this on my ipod lol worked fine for me by the way

@Alex Atkin UK
I’m sorry, I combined modding with the ‘hacking’ crew. The Xbox allowed any owner to add ad PC drive to the it which allowed loads of pirating and emulation add-ons. The Xbox360′s HD is some weird mac/win format and can only detect and use up to 120GB (partitions up to 120GB). So a ‘standard’ HD would not work. And even though the Xbox360 can see HDs & Flashdrives formatted in FAT (not sure about FAT32). I would love to have a 500GB or 1TB for saving: photos to to share in Photo Party (and download from Photo Party), share my music (with friends while playing racing games – i.e Burnout Paradise – bandwidth issues), download ful retail games, but be able to license them to a portable media (SD, mcrosSD, CompactFlash) not just to my new bigger HD. As you said the Xbox360 uses a 2.5″ SATA drive, wasn’t the HD Drive external?

I was using the Xbox as the hacvker’s subject as it was, most still rejoice on what they could do to or with it. I personally skipped the system as the controllers really did not fit well in my small/medium hands. We can only hope and wait for a larger drive. I’m surprised that HD watchers aren’t demanding it.

MS and many companies would stand to profit LOADS via Xbox Live DLC and Retail Product just by offering a larger HD. More content (not just retail games, photos and videos), customizing (games where the character could be anything from a human to a race car named Desire), and more. I’m ‘IFfy’ on the retail game download and lately if an Xbox Original that is worthy of playing – I look it up on the net and get the CD to save HD space.

Sorry it took me so long for this reply, Little Big Planet is quite a nice game, but PS Home is well, has a lot of ‘nothing’ to offer currently. Thank God for NXE.

Major Nelson, any word on when the DRM Transfer Tool will work again? Seeing as it’s been over a year and it keeps saying “Your next chance to use the tool will be 6/26/2009
