For the last two years I have been addicted to the fantastic beast that is the Xbox 360. I have a wife to be (Oct 12th 2008) and 2 sons that live with me 24-7 so how can I find have a happy house when wanting to shoot some germans or alien scum?

Easy…. Microsoft gave the biggest gift to gamers in relationships and that is the Gamerscore (GS). My partner is the kind of woman that likes her man to be better than others and is obsessive compulsive with things such as the TV / Radio volume can’t be on an odd number and neither can my Gamerscore so she takes great pleasure in following my achievement unlocks during any game I play AND has a happy face whilst doing so!

How do I please my eldest son of 13 years old if he wants to watch TV and I want to shoot and shit? Easy…..I bought him an Xbox 360 too so we can now shoot each other giving me the best of all worlds. We can both compete for Gamerscore and if he beats me I can ground him…..Bliss

Bottom line is that I don’t want to be serious and political when I am winding down so I turn on the 360 instead. I would rather be home playing games against my son and with my wife to be than in the pub having a few beers to relax. How many of you can say that your girlfriend/wife enjoys watching you play games after a hard days work? Gamerscore – The solution to divorce

I have been playing my XBOX 360 on my 50″ Sony Bravia – Rear Projection for around a year now but lately i have noticed a nasty ghosting of the text an images.

This problem has caused me to actually die!! no really…. i have died numerous times on Call of Duty 4 and its all because of Sony, The bastards (My excuse and i am sticking to it ;p)

When playing games like COD4 and Assassins Creed it is unfair that you are unable to witness the true greatness and quality in the graphics so i was forced to smash up the TV and buy a new 14″ Portable……Well, actually, I found out how to solve the problem so my beloved TV was my friend again.

It seems there are settings within a hidden engineers menu in the Sony Bravia series (not sure if its the same in others) so im going to explain how you can do it yourself as this is a problem all the bravias will face at some stage.

Ok so here goes

To access the hidden menu, turn your TV into standby mode and press the following.

[i+] (little button with i+ in a kind of tv icon)

Press Channel 5

Press Volume UP

Press Analogue (its the middle button on the top of the remote)

Once you have pressed these buttons in succession your tv should boot up onto a new screen with large green letters. This shows that its so far so good and we can now proceed to the more complicated settings.

Press the menu button (At the bottom of the remote)

You will then be presented with a new menu down the left hand side of the screen.

Use the direction buttons on the remote and move down to the LCD Drivers option and press right to enter the menu.

You are now presented with a new menu / option screen.

There are three settings that need changing and all relate to the synchronizing of the horizontal RGB (Red,Green,Blue) and simply shifts the colours back into position.

Move down to “S H POS REG R” – The settings should currently be set at 10. Press right to change the value to 11. Do the same for S H POS REG G and then move down to the bottom of the screen keep pressing down until you see S H POS REG B and change the value to 11 then press the menu button to back out of the menu before pressing standby.

Now simply press standby again to start up your TV and your problem should be sorted.

If i helped you and you wish to bow down to my juicy goodness please leave a comment below. You dont have to register and it takes a few seconds. Scroll to the bottom of this page and tell me how fat and juicy i am.

Sit back and enjoy the full power of the 360 and its beautiful games. If you feel like getting shot at on COD4 then add me to your friends list. My gamertag is SN1PER UK.

Although, im still dying…. maybe Sony messed something else up .

Hopefully this will help others having the same problem.

Update: A lot of my readers are also sending me emails and have commented on this post that this is also the case for the PS3.
