Terrifying, isn't it? :(


It's embarrassing is what it is. Everytime it even does the console equivalent of a cough you live in terror of it shitting itself before having to be packed in a box and sent to strawberry floating Germany.

I was so glad that when I pulled out the ethernet cable it seemed to be fine. I hope it's sorted by tomorrow though, I am looking forward to epic FIFA clashes. 8-)

Was working fine early evening as I went in and set Pro Evo demo downloading, I then powered off and left it background downloading. Tried it around 8pm and it was dead all night.

If still having problems, I might try deleting the pro evo demo stuff as above, wonder if that is contributing - maybe the demo download corrupted when Live went down.

Got Fifa today so hopefully it'll be working tonight so I can try some of the online stuff out on it.


Hey mine seemed to go wafty after I'd started downloading the PES demo too. Is it known to be dodgy?

It's even scarier when it freezes whilst trying to load a video or something. You press the guide button, hear the little "swoosh", and nothing happens. Normally after a few minutes it un-freezes itself, but it still gets me going every time...

My 360 was crashing all the time last night when i first got FIFA/started downloading the PES Demo so i thought it would be one of those that broke it.

What i did was unplug the wireless adapter, manually go and delete the PES Demo data from the HDD then plug the adapter back in. After that, went to active downloads and the demo was downloading as it should and FIFA was also working

I reckon there is something corrupt with the PES demo...

I was half expecting the red lights to come on at some point which would have driven me mad!

You're right, I didn't. And now I feel like I'm missing out. Where is it?

I know it has something to do with Cyburn, right? I'd like to be let in on specifics too.

Someone should do a thread keeping track of the forum memes, can't be everywhere at once you know.

PlaySONA reached a certain milestone for number of members while everyone was in the cross-over period between GR and wherever else, and Cyburn posted it on GR as a topic, along with the immortal words, "LETS CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES COME ON."

And we adopted it as a forum meme.

Actually, I do remember that. :lol:

My current favourite is Hugo's "Unfortunately, Guitar Hero remains full of crap"

I've got bad news regarding that Cyburn meme, but I believe it is crucial for the survival of GRcade that I set the record straight:


He did actually use an apostrophe for 'Let's', and it wasn't in caps lock. The only omission was a lack of a fullstop.
