Sounds like your sd card is dying, probably should test it with H2W test. If it fails, I recommend getting a new SD card.

Yes, it does, but it wont be needed yet. How many titles are on your home menu?
about 45
sd card is saying on 5.6gb free space but I know its not right as I have 2nd 3ds with more games on and has about 32gb free space so something is wrong. is there anyway I can format sd card and but files back on easily?

Copy all of the files off of the SD card to a spot on your computer, format the card with H2testW (It may take a little while). When it is done, copy all of the files back onto the SD card and try then.

sounds like corruption either in the files on the sd or within the sectors of the sd card itself . . . copy everything from the sd card to your pc and run the h2testw program assuming your sd card passes with no errors put the files back . . . if it has errors get a new sd card and repeat testing

how do I format on h2testw?
you dont it just a test

33gb data lost on a 64gb what do I do now?
your sd card has a massive amount corruption (its possibly a 32gig resized to read as if it was a 64 gig). . . you could attempt to salvage it but in all honesty the best advice is to scrap it and get a new sd card then test the new sd card assuming it passes with no errors use it . . . if it fails repeat the process until you have a card that has zero errors

did you buy them online? regardless if its only been a week they should still fall under the sites/stores return policy . . . honestly you should test the others the same way if you got them online the seller could just be running a scam (selling nothing but resized cards) in witch case you can forget about your refund as the seller will vanish when you request one or put in a ticket about the issue

yeah the other sd will likely give you the same 33gb lost result if it does (then its a scam &) the seller will vanish when you try to set up a refund/return . . . did you pay via paypal they usually side with the consumer on matters like this
Not long got home from work. Doi g test on other sd card. Also I have contacted ebay and if I haven't had refund of selling with in 8 days then they will get me a refund. So it all good other than got to get some more cards now.

Looks like you got scammed, had that happen to me a few times with mis-advertised sd card sizes once they reach their capacity they just start overwriting from the start and start corrupting your data, ebay/amazon is usually quite good at refunding them.

    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant

    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
