How to unlock the Press START to Play achievement in The Simpsons Game - Definitive Guide

To begin, place your copy of The Simpsons™ Game into your Xbox 360 Disk Drive. Proceed to scroll down to the The Simpsons™ Game icon on your dashboard, and press A using your Xbox 360 Controller. Wait for the initial company logos and loading screens to pass. You should now be viewing the official The Simpsons™ Game start-up screen. The words "The Simpsons™ Game" will be viewable upon the top of the start-up screen. Below you should see the words press START. Continue to press the START button on your Xbox 360 Controller. The START button can be located directly above the RS Analog Stick, and to the right of the Xbox 360 Guide Button™ on your Xbox 360 Controller. Once you press start, a screen will appear saying "No storage device selected. You will need to select a storage device to save games." The achievement should at this point unlock.

Be careful, if you play in a second controller, and press start on it, you will NOT get this achievement... Of course, you couldn't probably restart the game, and press start then instead.

By on 10 Oct 2012 14:02
i dont think 5 pages would cover it, i mean you would need to describe how to buy the game which involves getting money through work, parents, stealing etc, then shopping, then how to unwrap if bought new..... i think you should write a whole book instead, bestseller among achievement whores! : )

Wait wait wait, slow down. Now, do I put the disk in my disk tray with the picture displaying "The Simpsons Game" facing up? Or is the shiny side supposed to be facing up? I think you need to be a little more in depth next time sir. There are people out there who really need some serious help with this achievement.
