In it's lifetime the xbox 360 has had its fair share of problems. From disk drive errors to the red ring of death the Xbox 360 certainly hasn't been the poster child of a quality product. More recently, Microsoft has begun banning modified consoles. This ban removes the Xbox 360 Live feature functionality. With that said, when buying a 2nd hand Xbox 360 be it from Gamestop, Ebay, Craigslist or any other source there is yet another landmine to look out for. ... more.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.
Still a good game though.
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
Activision and Raven Software's 2006 action role-playing game, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, has found its way to the Xbox Store.
Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem
I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.
Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.
Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
This blog simply reiterates the obvious sentiment about purchasing ANYTHING used. Be it a console, car or even a home...you are relying on the habbits of the selling party to be truthful in the sale. While that may happen in most cases, it isn't for ALL.
Why did we need a post to express this distaste for being a sucker and buying used? Perhaps when it doesnt happen to you you don't care. When it does...you lick your wounds and try and sell it off to the next sucker. Just because this post is being stated wont change the mindset of those who go looking 'SPECIFICALLY' for used deals.
Why shouldnt MS ban modded consoles? It's their service. If you want to take risks with buying preowned, this is one of them.
I can say from personal experience that the used Dec 05 360 I got off a friend was not modded but I could not get it registered in my name for warranty service (regular warranty). It had been registered at the time of purchase by the store that sold it to him (strange but true). Even though I had gotten it in Apr 06 there would still have been some time left on the regular warranty. To register it I was told it would not be covered by support if something happened. This was before they changed their policy for RROD support issues. Sure enough mine got the RROD in Jan 07 and I called them and sent it in for repair free of charge.
In my case, second hand wasnt so bad. Yet I knew the console wasnt modded. Although, I am curious if those sent in for repair from RROD are detected as being modded when they arent really looking for that. Most of the time they swap the board and reconnect everything else in the case. Then they send out those that are repaired/refurbished and possibly modded only to be banned under a new detection process.
That would be an interesting article to read about. In the end, just buy new. You are guaranteed all rights and privileges, as declared under the terms of use agreement. Play it safe...play it new!
Thanks for your input maybe you should write an article that expresses YOUR opinions. But, this is my opinion, and in my opinion Microsoft telling people that it is their responsibility to know whether a console has been modified is wrong. The fact of the matter is that not even retailers can tell. Adding a punishment that renders an xbox useless to people that unknowingly purchased a 2nd hand modded xbox is bad policy. It fixes some of the problem, while increasing MS bottom line. I would guess 70% of all sales go through a store with some sort of trade in or used equipment function in their business model. The bottom line is that the policy leaves alot of loose ends that should be tied up by MS not the consumer.
