Wow that is absolutely terrible. Sorry that happened to you, Peaches. Hope you can recover some of what you lost, but it seems like Microsoft isn't going to give any help on that.
NES, Sega Genesis, N64, Dreamcast, PS1, Xbox, PS2, Xbox 360. I think I have had a total of 6 original Xbox's. I still own 3. One has a bad drive, but will still occasionally work, one fully works, and one is hard modded. I've had too many 360's to count. I know it's over 25 because I had 16 at once, at one point. But currently I have 3 working and two with red rings that I will fix when I get back home. I'm thinking of selling my JTAG and buying a RGH Slim at some point too.
Pulled these off my HDD. They should be patched correctly (hopefully). http://www.mediafire...lzgjh5213gzc00a Feel free to remove my link if you don't want this posted in public, Peaches.
Also, another added bonus that you might want to look into is the free Xbox 360 promotion that is going on right now. Certain stores are selling select laptops that are $700 or more and bundling them with a free 4GB Xbox 360. This promotion is for college students only, I believe, though. I'll be buying a new laptop this month and that's what I'm most likely going to do.
Simply put, if you don't have a modded Xbox, then you're not going to be able to get the maps unless you already have them. There is one way to get the maps on a non-modded Xbox, which is to buy the disc that has the first three (I think) map packs. If you have a flashed Xbox, then you can burn a copy of that disc and get the maps. If you have a JTAG or RGH system, then you can just get the maps and ***le update and easily put them on your console with pretty much no effort.
I would do something with the font (not sure if you changed it). I think the Metro UI font is like Segoe. Also, maybe something with tiling. I'm not sure where that would be applicable, though.
Looks good. The only thing is that it doesn't really remind me of Metro UI and that's what you said you were going for. The only aspects of it that remind of Metro UI are the blockiness of buttons and the navbar. Don't get me wrong, I still think it looks great, just giving you my two cents.
