    i suggest you look into getting either the 20 gig hard drive or the 120gb hard drive for your 360.

    with game saves and downloadable content like map packs for halo and such you will more then easily fill the memory card.

    also highly recommend gears of war. also if you want to play online you'll need a gamertag and to subscribe to xbox live which is like $70 a year, can you play the wii online for free???

    you can get a free silver account which allows you to download games from the arcade and all the other downloadable stuff like maps packs and other content, songs for guitar hero ect. but you won't be able to play against other people online.

    nice purchase too, if you do sign up for xbox live let me know your gamertag and i'll send you a friends request.

    Yeah the hard drive and the Xbox Live starter pack were gonna be a definite purchase

    Yeah you play the Wii online for free

    cool, sounds like you got it all sussed and you are set to go.


    the simsons game is good, but i rented it and finished it in a matter of hours, but it's still fun.

    but if you wanted to do all the challenges to get 1000 gamerpoints it would take a while.

    Might just play it for a bit and use it as part trade for GTA4 :D

    also i think you can go onto http://www.xbox.com.au and sign up for a free gamertag so you can pick out the name you want now, and when you got your live starter pack all you'll have to do is just enter your gamertag in the xbox and it will retrieve all the info you put in online and upgrade your account to a gold account.

    yeah i've traded a few games i don't play any more but EB give you shit trade prices, but sometimes you'll get lucky and they have a special like trade 2 games get "insert new game here" for $50 or even Trade 3 games and get "insert new game here" for $10

    one time they had a special, i trade 2 games i got for $20 each on a sale at target and traded them for crackdown not long after it came out for $10

    Wouldn't you be better putting games on eBay???

    yeah, but i'm too lazy, there always seems to be more hassel to put things on ebay. you know, gotta put the item on there, wait 10 days for the end of the auction, contact the winning bidder, wait for payment, send itme off.


    it's all too fucking hard, i can just go down to EB, give them the games, let the pimply little store clerk bend me over the counter and screw me for price. walk in with 2 games walk out with 1 new one and the felling of being ripped of. it's simple.

    yeah, i've just been reading up on it today, apperently the 360 version shits all over the ps3 version.

    the whole reason for the delay in the release last year was due to issues with the ps3 version.

    I forgot, Woz bought one :D
  • Oz JammerOz Jammer Posts: 9,858

    if i had $600 burning a hole in my pocket, i'd think about getting one. but i wouldn't get it for gaming, it would be purely a blu-ray player, that's it.

    but i guess i'll just wait for blu-ray players to come down in price any way, which shouldn't be to far off.

    i wasn't sure about half life 2 but i got it, and i was well impressed, but i haven't played it much since the 1st week i had it cause if got like 3 other games since then and it sort of got put on the back burner.

    i should get back to playing it, its pretty cool.

    I played it on the original Xbox and loved it. "Orange Box" is the new one on the 360 and it's supposed to be AWESOME. The Half-Life series are some of the best games ever created

    Give it a year and you'll be able to buy Blu-Ray players for around $200

    Well I'm off to bed. Take it easy people :)

    yeah the "portal" game that comes with the orange box was wicked, i pretty much didn't sleep til i finished that.

    and normally i hate games like it, i have to think to much, but this was just fucking addictive.

    i started playing through Ep1, but then got other games and forgot about it, but yeah i'm gonna get back into cause now i'm kinda over the other games i got.

    yeah, HD DVD players in the stats hit $150, but that might be a sign that they are losing the war.

    so it won't be long til blu rays come down. and if they did, the general consumer who has been confused about what to get, blu ray or HD, will now be more willing to make a choice.

    no one wants to spend $1000 to own what could be the worlds most expensive paper weight if the product they got loses the war and becomes redundant.


    i'm off to bed too, to watch I Robot on my Ipod.
