XBox Live Arcade Games Turned Into Trials

I need help. All my Arcade Games for xbox live turn to Trials everytime Im not connected to Live. I checked out other forums and they said I need to transfer the License from my first X-Box to my new one.

Heres the Problem. My old X-Box got the Red Ring O'Death and it wont turn back on. So how do I transfer the Licenses from my Red Death XBox to my new one?

Im at work right now. I can not access that site nor do I have internet at home. So this forum is the best I can do to find information concerning this.

Well then you're up shit creek because you need to transfer your licenses onto that website link by logging in under your xbl name and password and tranfer your licenses through it.

I need some help y'all.

Does the 160 gb ps3 come with the proper cords to play in HD? or do you have to run out and buy one? And if so, what are the cords that are needed?

As far as I can remember, all PS3 models require you to buy HDMI cables separately.

Yes yes I'm sure of this now. Man that sucks. I don't want to have to go out and spend yet another 60 or something bucks for a cord. That's around how much they run for right? At like best buy or something?

So I just run in and ask for an HDMI cable?

yep

but it's not necessary to buy an expensive monster cable, a short 20$ cord it's more than enough.

If I'm not mistaken, HDMI signal degrades the longer the cord is, so that's why there are expensive long cables available... but it's not necesary anyways, you'd probably have the PS3 sitting next to the TV, so a short, cheap cable should do.

... my HDTV died last saturday, I was browsing through the XBL marketplace when it tuned itself off, and never turned on again... and I bought it 6 months ago 🙁

it's on repairs right now, have to call tomorrow to see if it's ready

Oh alright that sounds fine. I wonder if I'll be able to get a 20 dollar cord at Best Buy. Or wherever would be a good place to get one. What do you think bro?

Walmart or Toy'R'Us usually have good deals about such items.

but the cheapest one you find should be enough, HDMI is a digital signal afterall, It either works or it doesn't. any other difference, if any, should be difficult to see.

The Belkin cable retails for 20$, the Niko for 30$

just look at this Psyclone one, retails for 100$, but it's on sale at 8$ (but only online) 😄

tomorrow I'll now whether my TV is good to go or not just yet.... three days with SD has been a real pain 🙁

HDTV is definitely worth every cent ✅

I held a 30 dollar hdmi cord in my hand yesterday, but asked a clerk at best buy why I should buy the same cable for more money. Apparentely the quality becomes clearer the more expensive the cord.

Luckily I had a 50 dollar gift card to best buy handy, so I picked one up for 13 dollars!

AND OH MY GOD IS IT INTENSE! Blu-Ray is absolutely ridiculous! And I popped in Street Fighter 4, Oh MY god!

you can get cheap hdmi cables of ebay from like china or something, my friend did it and he spent less than $10 im pretty sure

I just installed PS Home, after realizing that I should just use the wireless network of the PS3. Anyways, it's actually quite fun, I made my avatar and cruised around a bit, watching Watchmen stuff...will explore some more...

Since I got my PS3, I really haven't touched my 360. Any game multiplatform game that I buy, its on the PS3 because of free online. It's pretty cool.

lucky bastard 😛

right now I hate not having Live, since my gold account expired last week.... damn it.

Last sunday I was playing both PES09 and Resistance 2 online @ a friend's... it was sweet.... 🙁

on the bright side, I finally got my TV back... I love HDTV! 😄

That's odd, as soon as I got my PS3 I have played nothing but my 360....

You would play it if you bought games for it, dummy.
