Speaking of which, I've opened far too many Special Gold Packs, and the best I got was an IF Brad Friedel - 84. I've seen my mates get much better packs and made hundreds of thousands on the market. Anyone on here had any big money players?'"
Had two Sergio Ramos's, an Eto'o, Modric, IF Ramires and I have an IF Gokdeniz Karadeniz stored in my club for a later sale. All of those I've had from packs, but I've bought an IF Guarin, who I paid about 14000 at the time, but he's now price locked at around 40000 so I could make money on. I make most of my money just signing players late at night, then selling them for bigger fees during the day. I've not been well for a few weeks so I've given the PS3 a miss over Christmas, but I'm hoping to get back into it.
If I were you mate, I'd just spend a few nights signing a few players in the later hours. Do a bit of research and you can usually make yourself easy money. I just can't get over EA 'taxing' people coins for selling players, how pathetic is that?

I've got a staff I can't get rid of. It's part of a quest but the quest hasn't triggered because I somehow found the staff too early. It can be fixed by putting the staff on the weapon racks in my house but wait a minute, they are also bugged
Most of those aren't bugs. You can't drop quest items; that's part of the dumbing down to ensure you don't throw away important items. Hardly a bug though as it's by design.
I did find a few bugs by the way, like completed quests staying in my quest log, duplicated quest items (still in my inventory after completing/giving away the item). But nothing major; I finished it after 120 hours, completed all the main stories, side quests and multiple factions etc.
As your on Xbox, as is mine, be thankful you don't have backward flying dragons like on the PS3, now that version is stuffed.

| No mate it's nowt to do with the items been quest items. The weapon racks don't work in some of the houses and certain quests don't trigger correctly. Thankfully I had a spare few k of gold so I bought a house in Riften on the off chance the weapon rack might work. It did and I've finally managed to get the god awful Staff of Charming out of my inventory. The amount of quests I can't get out of my log grows by the day!
It's still an awesome game though!

Looks like I have been hit by the XBox Live FIFA hack, just had an email from EA welcoming me to FIFA 12 (despite not owning the game, I also haven't logged into XBox Live since June) knowing about the issue I immediately logged into my xbox.com account, and to no surprise I saw 9 purchases of Fifa 12 DLC at 240 points each had been made
Anyone know what I should do?

Update - quick google search comes up with this result:
forums.xbox.com/xbox_forums/xbox ... 72574.aspx
Anyone else on here been hit by it?

Xbox is pretty much hackproof if you use it properly. Firstly, ring Microsoft and get an unauthorised access investigation started. They will refund your money and restore the account to you. It will take a while, but if you're not using it, it's no biggie. Then change your Live password but also change your email password if it's the same as your Live password. In future, and this goes for every other Xbox Live user out there, never use a credit card on Live. Use prepaid Live points/membership cards instead. They are cheaper than using your credit card and if your credit card details are not stored, you have no financial exposure beyond the prepaid card value, which you will always get back from Microsoft.
The hackers use FIFA as it's such a popular game that the content they purchase can be sold for real money. I'm not sure how much, it must take them weeks to get any proper money together. But I'm convinced that EA's forums and interactive features such as Ultimate Team app and creation centre are also responsible for the leaked information in the first place. The hackers are not getting into Microsoft's vault, they are getting them from EA, I'm sure, but they won't admit that. Another thing I don't understand is how the hackers continue to do it, as surely their Xbox is perma-banned from Live once they are reported in an unauthorised access case. Do they make that much that they can buy another Xbox each time they do it?

Thanks for the info, thankfully I have only ever bought the pre-paid points cards so there's no danger of them accessing my bank details. I'll give MS a ring in the morning.

| This whole thing is rather odd here. When you go on the FUT web app, there's constantly been things about not giving this info out, not believing this type of email. But when you see some people saying I haven't been on Live in X amount of months and I don't have Fifa, it does make you wonder what exactly is going on. I can't understand how people can just gain an email address and password without hacking something, it baffles me.

There is definitely some hacking going on somewhere. I know about the importance of PC security and haven't given my password to anybody, or used the same password anywhere else.
Gametrailers talk about it very briefly here for anyone interested, about 30:30 into the video:

| Yes, breaking into peoples live accounts that are attached to Xbox accounts no doubt. It won't be a hack as such, but more guessing the no doubt simple password (or luring people into giving it up) or more likely answering the usually very easy secret question.

| Say what you want about the security issues the PS3 had, but at least Sony were quick to spot where the breach occurred, acknowledged their mistakes and were quick to put a stop to it.
Microsoft continue to bury their heads in the sand and just deny the whole thing while their users continue to be victimised.

It happens on PS3 just as much, like the hardware failures always did as well. The thing with the PSN issue was that it was the network itself that was hacked. It lead to it's users having their details exposed and could have had their identity stolen, never mind their gaming account. On Live they are getting the login details from somewhere else, not Xbox Live itself, so it's hard to see what Microsoft can do about it. They always refund stolen money/points if they can see a valid unauthorised access has occurred. Microsoft's customer service on the Xbox has been great.

| Enough of this hacking talk!
I've gone out and bought Dead Island and AC:R earlier. Had a quick half hour on DI, seemed okay but nothing much happend early on. Just strolled around on the beach. Installing AC:R, I've had the previous games and loved them so can't wait to get into this!

| Just reading the rumours about the coming games conferences and they seem to be suggesting that the next xbox console will be a tablet rather than a traditional box console.
All sounds very gimmicky and Nintendo-ish to me. I just can not see how they would fit enough tech into a tablet to make it sufficiently powerful? And would it be a tablet plus a controller, or is the tablet used as the controller as well? Or even tablet plus kinnect and no controller? The mind boggles. At this stage I hope it's not true.

| I saw a concept photo of a tablet PC that was shown off at the CES that's going on right now, so the technology is certainly possible/plausible. But, like you, I don't like the sound of it.
The Wii-U looks absolutely ridiculous imo and definitely won't be getting one. I much prefer my consoles in the traditional sense, something that lets me play using a nice, big flatscreen tv with a regular controller in my hands.
Digitally distributed content is fine as it is, there's no way it should be replacing fully boxed DVD/Blu-Ray games.

Dead Island is only really worth getting for the co-op/multiplayer. The campaign is pretty gash. Revelations starts off a bit slow but once you get some of the side quests out of the way the story makes a lot more sense, and I have to say I enjoyed the last 2 or 3 hours more than the other 2 Ezio games. I do hope though they don't continue to produce the AC games every year as I think the AC series would be even better with an extra year of development. Oh and the latest update is bugged, some of your achievments won't work.
As for the tablet thing. That should not be allowed to happen.
