What I Thought While on the Pot: XBOX 360 Rants

XBOX 360 Rants

I can't use my router with the XBOX 360 if I want to play Call of Duty 3 on XBOX Live. If I do, I can only join maybe 2 out of 20 games going on. Without the router, I can join EVERY game with the exception of some guys running servers underwater in the Ukraine or whatever. I'd say 18 or 19 out of 20 I can join when directly connected from my cable modem. I've tried setting up the 360 as the DMZ on the router, tried forwarding ports, opening the ports that the game purportedly uses, etc. Nothing has worked. Oh well. No big deal. Just a little inconvenient. It should be noted that all other games work fine and I am able to join whatever I want with the router in use.
I bought an XFPS keyboard/mouse adapter awhile back. Thing was ok, but "pretty much sucks" was the general feedback from consumers. I ended up using a work around which involves a Smartjoy Frag for PS2 and some soldering. Really works great IMO. I pwn n00bs all day in Call of Duty 2 and 3 with it. I don't play many other FPS games so I'm not going to list the ones I suck at. hehe...
Anyway...after months of feedback such as "your product blows and we have to mod it to get it to work right", the makers of the product, XCM, have come out with a new version of it with built in sensitivity adjustment. I assume they mean deadzone adjustment. We will soon find out I have no doubt. In my opinion, anyone who bought the original POS product should get this new version for FREE to try it out. If we like it and it works, we send in the old one if we want to keep the new one. Otherwise, they charge us full price for the new one. That would make a good deal right? But they aren't doing that. They expect everyone with a shit first version to pay another 80 bux for the new one. Whatever. They can suck my ballz.
