When I am playing by myself the Kinect picks up everything I say and that plays over the TV and it is very annoying to other players....any way I can turn this off other than to disconnect the Kinect?

OK i have 2 stipulations

1. must be from Best Buy (have a gift card)

2. must play blue Ray disks...lol

i dont need Wifi, dont need 3D, dont even need internet access of any sorts. just a straight up blue ray player. get at me

Just got a 360 slim on black Friday 4gb. I wondering if I need to have a hard drive to play MW3 multilayer. I don't want to open it up if I am going to have to shell out another $100 for a HDD. I I already have the older 360 with a hard drive so that's why I am askung

Thanks in advance

SO my cousin is going to sell me his ERIS for $25....i wont be activating it since i dont want to pay the smatphone plan....will i still be able to connect to wireless with the wi-fi and DL apps and stuff and surf the web, and do almost everything a connected phone would do...or will i just have a nice looking brick? need an answer fast.

thanks

OK so my wife, her mom, and her sister are on a family plan with their "dumbphones" (all samsung rogues), the family plan INCLUDES unlimited data on all the phones. basically i was wondering if i could get on that plan as well with a smartphone. i know the smartphones require a data plan, but is it any different than the unlimited data plan they have already?

in short, will the Droid Eris work with this family plan of dumbphones? or will there be an extra $30 charge for me simply b/c the Eris is a smartphone?

so we just got another cat, and since we brought her home, the other cat and her have been fighting. we usually seperate them and kinda scold them when they fight, but it is pretty much happening every night now. usually it is the old cat "stalking" the new one...the new one growls at the old one...and the old one attacks. what do you think we should do?

So i got what i think to be a spider bite on my leg...has the typical "bulls eye" look to it, with soreness and swelling in that area to the point were i have a slight limp now. Just wondering if it is worth my time to go to the doctor since i have read that it is nearly impossible to diagnose a spider bite. is there anything a doctor can prescribe me for this?

I think it is starting to get a little better now as it doesn't hurt as much as it did last night but it would still be nice to get rid of it quicker than just letting it run its course.

thanks

OK so i just picked this up so i could put my movies on it and play them on the xbox 360...but the 360 can only read FAT or FAT32. so i need to change this. i have ZERO content on it so i am not worried about that. also i am running Windows XP if that matters. i dont want to pay to do this as i know it is possible to do it without paying for a 3rd party software...i found a link but it was dead, so any help would be great. Thanks

OK so i just got a new 360 with HDMI so i was going to use this as my upconverter DVD player for regular DVD's (i bought it about a year ago when they were $50) so i plug it in, it has power because the disk tray opens up when i hit the button. the hd dvd drive is plugged into the 360 using the supplied cable. but it still isnt recognized. i tried to use the software to install it (disk that came with the drive) and it still wouldnt work. it used to work great for about 6 months, then it just started to crap out and not work all the time...so i put it in the closet.....now it wont work at all.

any help is appreciated. and does anyone know if these things are still under warranty with MS? and what will they do if it is broken...are they really fixing these things still?

OK so my buddy just bought a 360, he downloaded all the map packs (the 4 that have been released) but it says he cannot play the ranked slayer or any other ranked match, and also cant play social big team battle. myself and my other buddy have no issues with this. what is going on? should he re-download the map packs and try again or is there something we missed.

(he has Heroic, legendary, mythic, and cold storage map packs downloaded, as do I)

thanks

OK so i just got the RROD :( I have one of the OLD consoles and never had a problem until now i bought it used....i read about the 3 year warranty. my mf. date is 4-7-2006 (so over the 3 year mark...not sure of the original purchase date (since it was used) the seal on it was broken by the previous owner. do i have a chance of getting it fixed by MS? doubt it :( how much does MS charge for the RROD repair. i heard $100....i would rather pay the extra $100 and get the arcade with HDMI (always wanted that anyway) then get mine refurbished.

OK i know it is possible using the wifi...but that would take forever i would think. just wondering if you can have 2 seperate zunes hooked up by USB and transfer movies from one zune to the other? the only reason i ask is B/C i am getting the Zune HD in september, and want movies i have on my 120GB zune to be on my ZHD...but i dont have the HDD space on my computer to transfer the movies to the computer and then to the zune.

if no one knows....can you tell me how long it would take to transfer a full length movie over wifi??

thanks

so with all the info we know about the zune HD....do you think it will take away business from apple. we all know apple makes up like 80% of the portable media players out there. but do you think the zuneHD can even the playing field?? the HD has everything the touch has and more. music/movies/pics/podcasts/and internet browser are standard on both, but the zune HD also has HD radio and HD video output (720P and possibly 1080P) it also has a power sipping OLED screen and the power sipping but super powerful Nvidia Tegra Chip. it is said the zuneHD will be able to play 25 Days (yes days, not hours) of music on a single charge as well as 9 Hours of HD quality Video.

it is also said that the ZuneHD will get full intigration into Xbox live (ipod touch cant even play music off it in the Xbox 360) and it will also get the full Windows mobile app store once that gets put into one place. i hope the zune takes over....it has the tools to do it....just not the Logo.

as long as the price is on point I am for sure picking one up the day it comes out (early sept) i have really disliked apple for the last 10 months, but always liked the idea of the ipod touch...just never bought it because i didnt want to hand my arm and my leg to them for 32GB of storage.

so i have a 37" toshiba that i just bought about a month ago. it says right on the box 720P/1080i.....today, just for S%#@s and giggles i try to display my xbox 360 in 1080P just to see what happens (figuring it would go down to 1080i automatically) but it doesn't...display in the 360 console settings says it is 1080P...i hit recall on the TV (this displays the resolution at that time) and it also says 1080P...how is this possible....not complaining just wondering. is there an up-scaler built into my TV??

here is the TV i bought

So i have been happy with my 360 for about 2 years problem free....i just got a new HDTV with HDMI hookups and i want to have the option of doing it. so i was thinking of trading someone my non hdmi 360 for thier HDMI 360. just wondering what i can use for advantages to the older 360's so it will seem like a good deal. i heard it was easy to mod it to play backup discs...is that true?

OK i am getting a TV this week and it is down to these two. both are 720P/1080i, and both have the necessary connections for my needs and both are the same price ($597) Vizio is from Walmart with site to store, Toshiba is from BB with the that price being the price in the store. which one should i get and why????

OK so i am going to be upgrading my RAM...just want to know if there is anything else i should be looking for in my Memory. i know i need PC2700 DDR sodimm....is there anything else to make sure it is compatible?

i have a compaq V2000 notebook.

OK so i bought the licensed version and it is still in effect (bought it about 3 months ago) it was working fine for maybe a month, then i started getting a message about my computer may be at risk. so i open up norton and click on where the antivirus is turned off and it wont let me turn it on. i have tried everything and nothing is working.

i am running Windows XP on a compaq V2000 laptop for anyone interested.

OK so i am running windows XP on the laptop above. yesterday i deleted a bunch of programms that i didnt need or wasnt using and i think i may have accidentally deleted the driver for the CD/DVD because i tried to rip a CD last night and nothing would come up in Windows Media. said something about no CD/DVD drive recognized or something like that. is there any place i can download the drivers again?
