So, anyone had problems with an xbox refusing to read any game disks?


I'd not played it for a while, but turned it on on Sunday, and played for an hour, no probs (although I did think it was slightly slow). Yesterday I turn on, and it just wont read disks. It will read an audio CD, but not a game or DVD.


My daughter has been pressing the on/off button a bit when we've taken our eyes off her, but can't really see how that would damage it. It definitely hasn't had anything spilled on it or anything like that.


Have tried a lens cleaner disk, which has made no difference.


Any ideas? Could it be something as simple as a setting that's been changed accidently, or do I need to go and have it looked at, which will probably cost as much as I paid for it?

I have a real soft spot for this game, its as repetitive as a Status-Quo compilation album but theres something so satisfying about setting fire to dry grassland...wheres me Swan Vesta.

Definitely on the ipad, prices are higher than the old days ? but considering the same game on, say, a DS with lesser graphics often costs best part of ?30 compared with the 2-3 on the pad, it?s still an easy bargain. Especially considering the screen and battery life


Must try that one out tho

Bought Red Dead Redemption. Never really got into any open story games like GTA or Zelda before and always thought I was missing out on something.


Played it for 5 hours or so and I still don't think it is a genre I'll ever go nuts for. The game is really impressive and the scale of it is mental, loads to do and side missions and storylines all over the place. Quite like the hunting and scavaging aspects but it is ultimately unrewarding as it just seems to plod on. Going to perservere and give some serious hours to it to see if it changes my view. I just like games with distinct levels, or missions and I don't like find from a 3rd person perspective.


THe most enjoyment I have had so far is killing Marshalls and seeing how long I can stay alive, a bit like the odd foray into GTA and trying to get the SWAT guys out (i think SWAT can't even remember now!)

Massively - I am sure I have waxed lyrical about Deus Ex before on this thread. I am not sure I'll like it on a console so much but I will purchase this the minute it hit.


COD to come first though from the other studio so might not be great.


Anyone want to swap Red Dead Redemption on the PS3 for anything?

Hello fellow gamers anyone still messing about with MW2 I tend to go-online around 10pm when family is asleep.. feel like a secret lemonade drinker... Would love to get games going with fellow south Londoner's just to see how bad I really am

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
