Xbox Live 360.com. Games and Games.

when you try to connect to Xbox Live you may experience some issues & then you'll find it asking you to test your connection on the System area on the Xbox 360 console dashboard, The connection test screen is divided into 8 parts when of them will fail to connect & it will be the reason you couldn't access to Xbox Live so let's go on these 8 parts & see how to resolve the issue of each of them:

1. Network adapter.

2. Wireless Network.

3. IP Address.

4. DNS.

5. MTU.

6. ICMP.

7. Xbox Live.

8. NAT.

And there is some information like new terminologies that some of us may face while connecting to Xbox Live so i gathered some of them in this link.
If you have any further inquires please don't hesitate to send it to me.

Halo fans will definitely appreciate this. It's a replica of the MA5C Assault Rifle from the game. Although it doesint do much, the fact that it is from a game some of us have spent alot of time on makes it a collectors item. It also has a working display of how many rounds are in the magazine. There isint much information on the gun but if this guy decides to sell it im sure he would get his worth.

These 3 staff badges where once worn by John Porcaro from Microsoft marketing team. They each feature unique hand drawn characters. On the back of the badges are a bunch of emergency phone numbers. I don't ever plan on selling these, but in the past I have seen employee badges sell for over 50 bucks on eBay.

Earlier this year MS and Rare held a massive Pinata party, thousands of kids were invited to attend and participate in some fun activities. They also featured the worlds largest pinata at the time. (That record has already been beat by the mexican government.)

This swag pack was given out to the kids. It includes about 5 pages of stickers,trading cards, 3 viva pinata silly putty eggs , a tutorial cd, a shirt and a nylon magazine bag. Everything features the VP logo.

If you want a cool free faceplate, make sure you stop by your local Circuit City and get your copy of Crackdown. You will get this faceplate free with your Crackdown purchase!

The 6th and final issue of the Perfect Dark mini-series has finally been released and closes the gap between Greg Rucka's "Initial Vector" and the second novel "Second Front". If you haven't been following the storyline of any of them, I recommend you check them out; the stories are far better then the 10 minute write up that could be called the Perfect Dark Zero plot.

My hope? Greg Rucka does the game story for the next Perfect Dark game and makes it as interesting as his books are.

You can pick up the whole comic series at Prima or you can order the compilation book of the comics coming soon.

Upon some random eBay browsing I ran into these rather interesting toys, some range from just your regular Xbox logo related characters to some Ninety Nine Nights figures. They definitely be something to pick up and put on your work desk.

Check the link here for the eBay seller's shop.

I a received an e-mail with detailed pictures of the Blue Dragon figure set courtesy of Xenosphere. He was given these a few months back in Japan. I think its a pretty sweet set, if I can ever find one at a good enough price, I might pick it up.

Well guys, Its that time again. Im looking for a couple of steady bloggers. This site is growing by the second. More Xbox fans are being born everyday and they loooove their junk. What are the benefits of being a blogger here? Well really nothing, besides the fact that you can put it on your resume and I may potentially hook you up with some swag if you do some quality work. You never know, maybe it will be a game, maybe a keychain. Either way if you do decide to contact me don't do it because you think it will make you look cool or because you expect something in return. Do it because you are an Xbox fan at heart. Send your name, age and various other info here.

Heat your head with this embroiderd Crackdown beanie. Its pretty cool but I think the tin is alot cooler. It would be great to store some change or baby rabbits. I have no clue where you can get this item outside of ebay. So click here to visit the auction.
