bump!

ok got one now. i really enjoy it, but only came with two games: cod2 and doa4. both are extremely fun in mp. will get graw soon too.

star (+others) buy one now! you wont regret it + the games comming sure looks fine. i feel pretty secure that i will be covered gamewise for a pretty long time. from rpg to action to racing... Smile

another thing i enjoy with the live function is the ability to bring home demos and trailers. its always nice to play games before buying and i dont feel like spending money on magazines just to try them out.

my gametag: nailbiter76, pm yours guys!

Nice to see your enjoying your new machine, I'll get one soon enough just dropped nearly £500 on upgrades for one of my PC's only a few days ago so thats my treat for this month covered. Very Happy

Completely agree though there are several titles that have appeared now which im really keen to play and the fact that some of them are multi format games makes little difference to me as the 360 versions look significantly different in some cases better and you don't have to splash out shit loads of money just to play the game at max settings and at a decent res all of that comes out of the box so to speak.

Oh and yeah couldn't make a post at the moment on any forum without prompting people once again to buy Guitar Hero, I freaking love this game.

Ive used my xbox 360 controller more on my PC than i have the actual 360
especially with tombraider legend and condemned, FEAR also controls pretty good with it
I guess it's because I cant afford the 360 games and thats obviously not a problem with PC games.

dammit headshot, you have like every game except those i have! thats ok though, i´ll get graw soon. fix the gold thing. i came to the conclusion thats its pretty cheap for what you get. the whole "money system" suck though. they could at least let me dl some backgrounds for free. and the media center only availablity is a shame too...

damn you to star, you should have bought the console instead of upgraded! but your console needs are probably being kept intact by guitar hero! sure looks like fun! Smile

cant wait for e3. heard we will get alot of stuff, ie demos, trailers on live to dl. games that i´ll keep an eye out for is halo3 (duh), ninja giaden 2 (!?!?), gears of war, alan wake, sc:double agent, and yeah, tons more.

why i actually went for the 360 instead of ps3 or WII is that i know what i get. i like the series on xbox. others might like more japaneese style, but i like western. even though some of my favourite games are in fact from japan. but overall. the only game that i missed on this generation was resident evil 4. but 5 will come on 360. Smile

i've had mine a few months now and love it. Could of spent the cash on upgrading my PC instead but TBH the lack of decent PC games and the shoddy conversions compared to the 360 releases (GRAW,FIFA,Tomb Raider Legends) that still don't run anything like or look anywhere as nice even with the best SLI setup as they do on the 360 , and windows vista requiring a new OS and new graphic cards for directX10 within the next year rmade my choice to get the 360, Its a bargin price machine that currently outdoes the best PC setup with ease, has great LIVE setup and is real good fun.

haha Ive had every decent game for the console but I tend to trade them since they are expensive and games like COD2 I have on PC and has no replayability for me. I played it on Live and it was lagged to the point of ridiculously unplayable! DOA4 I completed all characters and got a bit bored so that got traded too.

cod2 laggy? hmmm havent noticed. + there will come new maps soon! Smile

doa4 can be a bit laggy now and then on the other hand. but the game is the ultimate game in trash talking. too bad i havent won one single game in mp yet. i cant time the grab+hit (x-button). Sad

Maybe they fixed COD2 but not long after it was released it was totally unplayable due to lag issues.

Do you mean the counter moves in DOA4? They were hit and miss with me. Sometimes I could do it constantly and other times my timing was just plain crap lol

exactly how I fealt, true high end gaming on a PC is expensive now to the point where its becoming inaccesible for alot of gamers - its worrying when you see gamers with SLI setups and 2 gigs of ram complaining about not being able to run games in thhere next gen modes (see Tomb Raider Legends). Sure its easy to say that anyone with a job can either set aside money every month or anyone with a good job can just outright purchase one, but the real beauty of the 360 is that for what in direct comparison is a very cheap price, within moments you can start up the machine with minimal fuss, with no worrying about your specs or none of the cruddy ports. The Live service just continues to get better and theres also already a quite varied mix of games taking into account its a new machine.

Not to dismiss the PC of course, I wouldn't have just spent money upgrading if I fealt that way but from a pure gaming point of view PCs are very much being steered down a road which is slowly narrowing year upon year to the point where the majority of the games being released every year are FPS/RTS and RPG with a huge percentage of those FPS games being complete trash.

yup, i tend to agree. pc has lost much of its charm for me lately. as a gaming machine. i dont know if this is due to me being a lazy sod and wanting to lay down in my sofa, or if it is because of the games. probably both. Smile

of course i couldnt live without my pc, but as a gaming machine its pretty limited for me. dont feel like upgrading any time soon either. only games i have installed is ut, q3 and worms wp. but what a good 3 those games are. Razz

@ headshot, yeah counter moves. won a couple of games today! its nice that when beating people with higher rank, the points given out is higher. good times!

oh almost forgot. alan wake is going to get published by m$. wonder if this means that it will be xbox360 exclusive?

Alan Wake looks awesome. All I have seen is a trailer but Ive had my eye on it for ages now, plus its a Remedy game which are the guys behind the Max Payne games. I have high hopes for this title and a 360 exclusive would be sweet!
