    Hey Major, 3rd Broken X-Box in under 15 months. Getting tired of this. You know what happens, I send it in, and get sent back an older model X-Box that inevitably breaks again. Can you help me out, because this isn’t fair to me or anyone else who this has happened to.

    Why must those that service overseas be punished? Me and my husband are proudly serving our countries and yet we cannot download new content for games? We have american xboxes and american accounts yet we are in Belgium, and Afghan and we cannot download the new maps for COD WOW. XBOX lives response, “move back to the states,” thanks for the support Xbox live, the next time my hubby comes back from trying to find the Al Qaeda, he can play by himself since he can’t play with all the people that have the new maps.

    Would be good if I could actually connect to either the marketplace on my 360 or the website. None of which work at all.

    Great day for DLC. I was playing Big Surf Island all morning. Highly recommend it to anyone that’s a Burnout fan.

    Haven’t downloaded the CoD maps yet but I’m sure I’ll get them at some point.

    Happy to see some free Saints 2 DLC. That game is a lot of fun.

    Wonder if the CodWaw maps will have the same effect on the Top Ten rankings that the Mythic Maps had on Halo 3. If not, perhaps we can finally lay that “Halo 3 in only #1 because of its new maps” argument to rest?

    Yeah, I hear your pain, GuerillaDust. I just got my 2nd RRoD in 25 months *sigh* (still nothing compared to some of the RRoD horror stories I’ve heard about though). Luckily I live within a couple hours of a repair center, so hopefully I’ll get a replacement back in 3 days like the last time. I had the same problem though: when I got my first replacement, I noticed that it had the EXACT same manufacture date on it as my original one. You’d think by now that they’d realize they’re only perpetuating this seemingly endless cycle by giving people replacements that are just as bad if not worse than what broke in the first place! I understand that they’re probably just trying to recycle 360s or send out excess stock at the repair centers to save money, but this huge financial gaping wound is NEVER going to start to close if they don’t give people better-running later models as replacements.

    When you get back your XBOX 360 from repair – SELL IT AT A GAME STORE!

    Then just buy a new one as the newer model (Jasper), runs much cooler & therefore will be much much less likely to RRoD.

    I recently bought a new console as the old launch model had died & i was out of warranty – & i can tell u that the difference between them was night & day.
    Old launch unit (Xenon) was loud (DVD + Fans), & ran v.hot – but the new one i have is much quieter & is much much cooler!

    Seriously – anyone in this position should do the above (unless you like sending your console in for repair over & over again).

    From what I’ve read, the German version of the map packs don’t include the Nazi Zombie maps, thus the lower price.

    @ K1LLER HORNET: When you got your new Jasper 360, did you get a new 3-year RRoD warranty for it too, or is that no longer available with the newer models? I’m thinking about doing this, but while the new Jaspers are less likely to get a RRoD, it could still happen, so I’d like to have that coverage if possible.

    A note to everyone getting the Burnout Paradise Big Surf Island DLC, you need to download Burnout Paradise 1.9 off the XBLM as well in order for the Island to show up. (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/offers/0ccf001d-0000-4000-8000-000045410806)

    After you download 1.9, you can go to your HDD and delete any previous versions such as 1.8, 1.7, 1.6, etc.

    StaticRest and Cavalry Arty,

    I know how you feel. I’ve been complaining to Xbox support and MN about the ip blocking for about a year now. The best I can tell you is setup up a vpn connection, like I did, so that XBL thinks you are in the States. It will cost you about $155/year if you go with a service like StrongVPN, but you will no longer have blocked XBL content and you won’t have to deal with online stores canceling orders because your ip address is outside the U.S.
