You Ask, We Answer
Alphonse Romano ASKS:
In Guitar Hero 3, there's a code you can strum at the cheats menu that basically unlocks everything in the game, songs, characters, guitars, everything. Now it also notes that once you enter this code, it cannot be deactivated. Once you enter the store in GH3 after entering the code, it unlocks a few achievements that have to do with buying all guitars, characters, outfits, etc. Since GH3 offers you a cheat menu and created this code to be used, can Microsoft still reset my gamertag if this code has been enabled?
OXM SAYS:
Microsoft is not going after people who use cheat codes. They’re going after people who don’t even play the games – they swap save files and hack the system. Cheat codes will not get you in trouble with Microsoft because they are programmed into the games themselves and are part of the experience, if you choose to use them.

hi there
i have an elite which was built on April 2008
sadly it is not a falcon
how ever i saw the rrod twice but i just turn off the device and reconnect the electric cable
and turn on the device and it worked like nothing happened.
i live in Iraq and i bought the console for 650$
in 27/09/2008
now a brand new elite console cost 550$.
and in Iraq there are no service center for repairing the device.
because of that i consider replacing my console with jasper because if my console show the RROD or the E74 error there will be no where to repair it in Iraq and it will cost the price of brand new one if i send to the states to repair it.
so my question is:
Is the Jasper have the RROD the same as the previous consoles or not
please answer me ASAP

I think it was two years ago im not sure e3 had a gundam game trailer that blew my mind, later that year or something you had an article on it, It was suppoused to be like battle front and you talked about how it was geared for american gamers or somthing along that line. well that game finally came out... but instead of getting it here its exclusive to japan at the moment, why did they stop making mobile suit gundam operation troy (or the one year war)?
Many of the fan base that was looking forward to it have imported japanese xbox 360s just because they fail to ship it here, the sad part is most of the in game text and even NPCs running around speak english. Is it canceled for america? are we going to ever see it? I mean come on it was set for america in one of the first 360 e3 trailers and has even started a petition for it. If anyone can answer us its you guys. Please oxm in the cheesy star wars way your our only hope.

I need some help. I am a frequent player of Halo 3 online, and I recently ran into an issue, that I can not figure out. I can no longer play user created maps or view movies, even my own. I was able to do this for a while, but now suddenly I can't. I've checked my settings on the Xbox, and there is no restrictions, and nothing has changed, that I am aware of. Has Bungie placed a restriction on my account, or is there something that I am missing? Please help!

A few days ago I purchased a subscription for one year. I just checked my bank statement and I was double charged. I called the number on the statement and I got a recording about "This number has new information" it then asked to send me a text message which wanted me to spend $10 for some service I don't need. I've looked all over this site and can't find anywhere to inquire on how I can get my account credited with the second charge. Can someone from OXM please send me a message on who I need to talk with.

I have a concern about glitched achievements that I would greatly appreciate your assistance in addressing.
Glitches I know are no big deal, but so long as the companies agree to correct them: therein lies my and many others current frustrations.
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (GRAW2) has a very concerning glitch that is effected by UBISOFT's DLC. Their DLC causes those who fore go the tedious training, at the beginning of the game, to fail acquiring one achievement. Even if they go back and complete the training for the purpose of competing their achievement list, like many have tried to do, it's impossible to get the achievement (in every sense of the word) .
In this instance, UBISOFT appears to have set a dangerous precedent;one that I fear other companies may take example from and repeat unfairly at the gamers expense. UBISOFT has decided to not correct the issue. UBISOFT believes it to be an unjustifiable expense, but this should not be seen as acceptable. As other companies see UBISOFT setting this new bar for "customer service," I'm sure you can foresee this routine being repeated over and over.
The precedent that UBISOFT is setting, in deciding not to correct a flaw in their product, is unfair to everyone who purchased this game in good faith. Even car manufacturers recall their products to correct [both large and small] issues that are found later on.
I am hoping you can assist by bringing this to the forefront publicly and help UBISOFT understand that they need to correct this, to properly satisfy gamers needs.
This may be the first that you are hearing of this, but a sampling of their forums will immediately show that this is a widespread issue. It has even been made into a sticky thread because of how many people have encountered it, so far. The scary part is that many people are still playing the campaign and have yet to report the issue, because they haven't completed the game yet. As they will not discover this glitch until long after a reasonable time frame to correct this has indeed passed, this is even more unfair to them.
Please investigate if there is any way you can help us.
Thanks.

i just wanted to ask microsoft why have they not made a portable game yet. i mean nintendo made the ds,sony made the psp, but you guys haven't made one yet. think about it,portable halo. That would be so awsome that i would buy it the first day it came out.so i think you guys should make one so that halo could be played anywhere around the world.

Do you have a listing for downloadable content from past discs? I know in the past there were add-ons to Oblivion and some other things on the discs, but they aren't listed on the demos section as Bonus Content.

Has 2K Sports announced whether they will have DLC for Top Spin 3, specifically more players such as Rafael Nadal, Pete Sampras and my personal favorite Andre Agassi? Nadal is in the PS3 version of TS3 (What's up with that?!!)

To add to that, if you want to listen to music downloaded from iTunes, you have to download the optional media update. Hope that helps.

To answer Scars, I believe some of your pictures may not be .JPG. Otherwise they will show up if they are in the correct file format. And for the thinpack art, go to the downloads section...not sure if you want MEGA previous art.
