Now you will always know for sure if your TX products are the real thing and not some dodgy clones that are crap quality and will get absolutely no support and no warranty. We will be adding a unique code to all TX products over the next few weeks, however the first product to have a code already printed was the CR3 Lite. As suspected there were many CR3 Lite clones on the market and the quality was pathetic. Cheap quality crystal oscillators, incorrect circuit layout, poor quality build, really shitty glitch times etc. They even tried to clone the serial numbers but must have gotten bored and just duped the codes.
Fakes / Clones:
The problem is (or was) that users will come here reporting that their CR3 Lite is bad and demand support / warranty and the reputation of the product is turned to mud – when in fact it's a perfectly great product that out performs every RGH device on the market (except the CR3 Pro of course).
We would understand it if we charged so much more money for the originals – but these clones are being sold wholesale for only $1.80 cheaper than buying the originals direct! Cheap f***ers indeed.
Well now you can see if your code is valid and that your product is real. Once you enter your code you will be given the option to claim it and leave a message that is to be displayed (we recommend you put your forum nick in there somewhere in case you require support in future so you can prove that you own the real product).
We have also implemented a check limit on each valid code. It is presumed that a retailer may check the code to see if it's genuine, and the end user may check the code – so that's 2 allowed. A further 2 are allowed in case it ever gets sold but then that code will be blacklisted if its checked more than 4 times. So make sure you PROTECT YOUR CODE!
The system also protects you from making duplicate checks so you don't have to worry about hitting refresh a dozen times and your code count sky rockets
We are also currently working on a reporting system where if you have a clone you can report the retailers information so they can be blacklisted too.
If guys want to copy our stuff – fine – just add your own dumb name to the product and dont try to hype off the back of ours. We have to protect our brand quality and integrity to enable us to offer the best possible support for our customers.
If you can let me know about any bugs I'd appreciate it it – also let me know if you were able to claim your code successfully or if your code was invalid.
Remember this is for CR3 Lites only at the moment – other products will be added once we are confident that everything is running smoothly.

FakeAnim v0.60b by our friend BioHazard, is a nice
app that allows you to run a custom boot animation in the form of WMV 9
encoded videos, so they can be played on the console prior to showing
the dashboard. Overview: This release will allow for fake
animations in the form of WMV 9 encoded videos to be played on the
console prior to showing the dashboard. Since this file is only loaded
after the console is ready there will be a minor increase in boot
times. This has no impact on glitch times since the glitch occurs prior
to this file ever being loaded. The Delay and Calibration settings are
designed to allow the user to tweak the video to their specific system
and display. This tweaking makes it so that the video does not get cut
off. Please read below for a full set of instructions:
Installation & Configuration: Important: Do NOT attempt to delete bootanim.xex if you are unable to restore to a previous NAND dump via hardware. Requirements: DashLaunch v3.03 is required for this to work. Installation:
Copy over all files in the archive to the HDD or USB of the 360.
Edit your launch.ini to have fakeanim = point to the fakeanim.xex
Reboot the console and make sure the application runs. Ignore the Red Screen being present for a while.
Once you have verified the application is launched remove bootanim.xex** from the consoles Flash. (Use FS3 or FTP).
Reboot the console and pay attention to how long the red screen is displayed.
Calibration takes place in the fakeanim.ini file and should be checked with a cold boot in order to force the GPU to initialize.
Once calibration is complete edit the fakeanim.ini and set calibration to 0
Calibration Notes:
To adjust the length the red screen is shown. Add to the number to increase the time take delay. Take away to decrease it.
The delay function is used to ensure the video does not get cut off
during the monitor and GPU starting each "delay" is 250ms. Valid
entries are between 0 and 100.
For slims start around 5.
For Phats start around 13.
The goal is to get the red screen to show for the least amount of
time possible on the Evil Laugh wmv when performing a cold boot.

As sure as Christmas comes every December, just a few weeks before it
comes a Need for Speed game from Electronic Arts. This time it's the
heavy-hitters from Criterion - the team that brought the world Burnout -
at the wheel. Two years ago criterion delivered their first NfS game
with a reboot of Hot Pursuit, this time they are giving a turbo boost to
another previous NfS title - Most Wanted.
Once again,the action takes place in a large open world environment,
along the lines of the one Criterion introduced to the racing in Burnout
Paradise. This time, it's called Fairhaven City. Unlike most other
driving games, almost every car is available from the get-go. Each car
has events tailored to its particular performance and handling
strengths. Complete them all in your own time, and your preferred order
to rank up. Awesome exotica such as the Lamborghini Aventador LP-700,
Marussia B2, and the Koenigsegg Agera are joined by down and dirty
drivers cars like the Ariel Atom, BAC Mono and Caterham Superlight R500.
Every car can be modified to make it drive and handle the way you need
to complete the mission in the game and get the drop on the cops.
As the title suggests, you're the cops favourite person, but not in a
good way. So as you compete against other drivers in NfS signature
long-distance point-to-point races, you'll also have to dodge and weave
to avoid the police's attention. In the single-player game, you'll
campaign to be most wanted, in races that let you choose your own route
to the finish, so it's as much about exploiting the shortcuts as it is
about driving the fast and clean. But remember, the better you get the
more the cops will be on your tail.
Criterion has been instrumental in bringing some of the best online and
multiplayer features to the arcade racing genre, and this game is no
exception. Along with the usual head to head realtime races, there are a
host of other online competitive and even co-operative challenge modes.
Most Wanted will continue to feature the innovative Autolog system to
enable you to compete with friends even when they are not online through
leagues, rankings and goals system. This time round Autolog is more
closely integrated into the game world, rather than being separated out
in the menu system.
As you free-ride around the game-world and pass each jump, speed camera
or Jack Spot, you'll get a quick glimpse of the leaderboard. Think you
have a chance? Just take a run up and have a go. Get the biggest air on a
billboard jump, and it'll be your ugly mug that other gamers will see
in their game.
Most Wanted features the all-new CloudCompete social gaming system, and
this introduces revolutionary cross platform competition and levelling
up, so that progress gained using your profile on one platform can be
continued on another.
Toy Story Mania! showcases an array of entertaining games based on the
iconic characters and humor from the popular Disney/Pixar “Toy Story”
franchise at the new Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort
attractions. That's right, you've had the games of the films, now it's
time for the game of the ride of the film!
Toy Story Mania! is the first video game to place characters from the
Toy Story films into a carnival game setting and is likely to resonate
with fans of the films and the attraction, as well as gamers who like
pick-up-and-play party games.
In addition to galleries adapted from the attraction, the game includes
new and original galleries and a series of mini games, all hosted by
beloved characters from the movies. The thematically-connected levels
are designed for up to four players of all ages with competitive and
co-operative multiplayer options.
WWE 13 is not the thirteenth game in THQ's well-loved wrestling series.
In fact, it is the fifteenth! And as you would expect, this latest title
is the biggest and the best yet. Taking a retrospective look at the
Attitude Era of WWE (back when it was called WWF), the game features 35
classic characters such as Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock and The
Undertaker.
Built on the Predator Technology 2 engine, WWE 13 features more fluid
animations than previous versions of the game, and buggy collisions and
transitions have been fixed. The game engine now provides over 300 new
moves. This is the first WWE game to feature "Spectacular Moments". This
feature allows you to perform environmental moves such as ring breaks,
barricade breaks, and mid-air catching.
Game sound is enhanced to enable both the crowd and commentators to be more responsive to in-game events.
Divas matches return, and have been updated to allow up to six Divas to compete simultaneously!
Previous games' Road to Wrestlemania feature is replaced with the
Attitude Era Mode, which enables you to play through a season of classic
Wrestling action over a two-year period. The player takes the role of
several different characters as they progress through different chapters
of the storyline. Video cutscenes help players to understand the
stories, rivalries and feuds that defined that period of WWE.
The Creative Suite enables players to manage powerful in-game
customisation. Not only can you create and customise your own wrestlers
and divas, but you can also build your own arenas in which to battle. To
top it off you can then edit your own story mode.
Online action has been beefed up too! Players can now test creations
before downloading them into the game, and computer controlled players
will fill in during online matches when not enough players are
available. All of this will be backed up bey additional downloadable
content packs.
Assassin's Creed needs no introduction, because despite the number on
the box, this the fifth major instalment in the historical open-world
action stealth series. The series jumps forward, once again, as we're
transported in time and space from middle ages Europe to revolutionary
America.
This is the first major break in the series narrative, and while the
mission-based structure of the game is retained, the "Animus" characters
and environment are all new. The main protagonist of the AC3 is a half
Native American, half English man born Ratonhnhakéton, who goes by the
English name of Connor Kenway. Connor's real-world modern counterpart is
still Desmond Miles, who has been a constant part of the AC series.
Continuing a trend that began in the last AC title, AC3 features more
playable sections featuring Desmond.
As has been the recurring theme of the series, the Templar/Assassin
conflict is the subtext that is being played out both in the modern
world as Desmond, and in-game as Connor. As one would expect from the
later timeframe, firearms feature more heavily in the game this time.
But in line with the North American location, hunting bows and the
Tomahawk also take their place in Connor's armoury alongside the
traditional hidden blade.
Unlike the last two games, which were essentially very extensive level
and mission packs for Assassin's Creed 2, this game is all new, and has
been in development for three years, alongside the previous two games.
As a result, we see a host of new capabilities as well as a host of new
environments. For the first time in the series the player can brandish
and use two weapons simultaneously. In keeping with the game's location
and time period, hunting plays an important part in the game.
But it is the American revolutionary war that gives the game its main
drama and drives the narrative. Connor inhabits the world of and
interacts with characters such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin,
Thomas Jefferson, and Paul Revere while travelling between his native
Mohawk village, the colonial frontier, Boston and New York. The Eastern
seaboard will also be a theatre of conflict, and Connor can captain a
ship and take part in naval combat. Connor does battle with the forces
of evil as a member of the Assassin's brotherhood.

Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts 2013 is a brand new adventure in its successful
Dangerous Hunts franchise that introduces the all-new Top Shot
Fearmaster wireless controller. This innovative new controller features
its own heartbeat sensor that integrates the player’s own heart rate
into the game, bridging the gap between controller and authentic hunting
experience to make hunting gameplay more realistic than ever.
The Top Shot Fearmaster utilises a biometric heart rate monitor to
propel players into the world of hunting. Sensors are built into the
controllers’ grips and gameplay varies based on the player’s ability to
control their fear and maintain their cool. Players that successfully
control their heart rate will increase their accuracy, deal more damage,
or slow down time to line up the perfect shot. The importance of a
stable, even breathing pattern and a steady hand is vital to the best
shot while out in the real life wilderness, and that is no different in
Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts 2013. With the all new Fearmaster controller
and on screen monitor, players will recognise how keeping their breath
steady will decrease their heart rate while also increasing gun
stability and ultimately accuracy. The Top Shot Fearmaster for Xbox 360®
video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation 3
computer entertainment system will have heart rate and motion stability
sensors. The Top Shot Fearmaster for Nintendo’s Wii™ system will only
measure motion stability and will not include the heart rate sensor.
Powered by the all-new Prowler AI system, predators in Dangerous Hunts
2013 are now smarter, and deadlier than ever before. Animals now have
the ability to form pack social hierarchies, coordinate complex group
tactics and take advantage of the surroundings to set up deadly
ambushes. No two scenarios are alike and what worked before will not

Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts 2013 features an epic story penned by writer
Andrew Kreisberg (Fringe) where two brothers are torn apart after the
death of their father at the hands of a grizzly bear. Ten years later,
the estranged brothers reunite for the hunt of their lives. One beast
tore them apart. Can another beast bring them back together? The game
also includes a new horde-based “Maneater” mode allowing for two-player
co-operative gameplay where teamwork is essential as both players must
work together to strategise and complete missions in order to survive
for as long as possible. The game will feature both symmetric and
asymmetric missions in Maneater mode.
