I would just like to offer a word of warning to anyone on here who's left their credit or debit card details on their Xbox Live account. Your account is most likely to get hacked and stolen. I'm speaking from personal experience here as my Xbox Live account was hacked on the 20th Aug this year. Luckily I was using my Xbox at the time and got an email notification of 2x of 5000 Microsoft points being bought with my card. Managed to get Xbox support to stop them getting away with the points and freeze the account. However, I was told that the investigation would take 21 days to get my account back and a refund for the points bought fraudulently on my account. Today is day 31 and all I've had in relation to this was one stock response email with a free month's gold subscription. So I'm not best happy with the muppets at Microsoft right now

Ouch. C'mon Saddened, tell us again how much better than PSN XboxLive is? You pay for this???

At least when Sony was hacked the card details weren't accessible.

Mind you, WiiConnect24 is sounding like the best service right now...

Downloaded FIFA today, it's going to take some getting used to having to use so many buttons for defending, but it was a little bit too easy just to win the ball.

The impact engine however is shocking. I think we played about 10 games, and I can think of at least 4 times that players have fallen in a stupid way or flipped 180degrees from a slight nudge.

Hopefully just demo glitches and the actual game will have these sorted.

What difficulty are you on? I've been playing on World Class since I downloaded it and it's not easy to win the ball. In fact, most of the game is spent chasing the AI to win the ball back -.-

LOL. WiiConnect24. What does the 24 stand for? The number of people who will use it? Wii's online was an embarassment.

As for Xbox Live security, I don't really see how it's happened. It's some going unless he had an unoriginal email adress and password combo. There are people out there who can hack into the American Military systems, so 'doing' a gaming service isn't going to be too hard. I'm surprised it's not been targeted more given that it's Microsoft's baby.

Oh Live does get targeted a lot. This comes direct from one of the service managers. However, it's individual accounts that get attacked rather than the network en masse.

Another year another enormous mess up on FIFA. Ultimate Team that was supposed to released yesterday isn't working.

I think the collision system is a vast improvement, any problems will get ironed out, be that before the game comes out or through patches.

Maybe Perfect Dark?

The expectations were massive - bigger than any game i can remember.

I remember Ocarina of Time selling out in a lot of places when that first came out.

Anyone gonna be getting Rage when it comes out next month? Saw an advert for it the other day and it looks pretty good.

Also saw a video for Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - not generally my sort of game but I love the Fallout games and the graphics and environments look pretty amazing.

Re: PS, Xbox, Wii, PC and other Gaming #9 : Wed Sep 21, 2011 5:12 pm  

Not sure on Rage with the likes of Skyrim, AC, Arkham City and probably Hitman on the horizon.

Not too sure on Borderlands 2, I sort of enjoyed the first one, I think.

Re: PS, Xbox, Wii, PC and other Gaming #9 : Wed Sep 21, 2011 6:12 pm  

I'll always remember my 9th birthday and I asked for Super Mario Bros 2 on the Nes, was sold out everywhere according to my ma and pa. Mi old man probably said that to me though so he could hog Paperboy all day. Never got a look in on my console back then!

Re: PS, Xbox, Wii, PC and other Gaming #9 : Wed Sep 21, 2011 8:23 pm  

Ultimate Team is now kind of back up. Existing users can get their free packs.

Totally wish I hadn't. Best two I got were Lucas and Maxi Rodriguez. About as wanted as the clap.
