Not as scarce as people would have you believe

[Whipped]

Look what my dad picked up by simply walking past Game at just the right moment*

http://whipped.me.uk/360.html

*The right moment being just as the clerk put a sign out saying. "Limited xbox stock. 25 available."

 

[Ch3tan]

Yeah there are quite a few around, including premium ones. We had regular deliveries at our bigger stores over christmas.

 

[Clown]

Game told me they don't know when they get them in, they just randomly have them delivered.

 

[TdC]

now do this to it

 

[Yaka]

get pgr3 f00

 

[Dommers]

Yaka your signature doesnt work any more

 

[Whipped]

now do this to it

Saw that today teeds. Well, I ordered one from Argos yesterday for myself. Should be here Friday and I'm taking next week on holiday Just need more than two games now

Also, I've already bought some things on the marketplace. Anyway to transfer it from my Dad's 360 to mine without a memory card?

 

[Whipped]

Well, decided against selling it.

Only problems so far.
1) Need to get a scart switcher so I can plug everything in at once. (No HDTV for me yet )
2) The thing is so heavy the glass shelf in my TV Unit collapsed this morning Need to do some rearranging.

 

[PLightstar]

well I pre-ordered mine back in Sept in Play and I haven't seen anything in the way of them sending it to me, yet I see places like Dixons and PC World offering deals with them in stock. So I don't know wether to hold out for Play or go elsewhere, its driving me mad.

 

[Whipped]

You may as well cancel your order and get it from somewhere that has stock. Even if Play get stock in, you'll still have to wait if they run out again before they get to your order.

glass shelf in my TV Unit collapsed this morning Need to do some rearranging.

Get a nice hi-fi rack from alphason like I have It took the weight of the original black hole forming xbox as well.

 

[Aada]

I'm bored of mine now waiting for more games to be released.

 

[Yaka]

god it aint that heavy its standing upright on the glass shelf on my desk, but the fucking thing is noisey:/

oh and i suggest getting a vga adaptor, at leat you will be abel to play at 720p and pgr3 needs it, if you play that

 

[PLightstar]

Managed to get one now for £330 off ebay, bit much but hey. Its the full 360 I could have waited but im to impaitent, been listening to Major Nelsons podcasts over the last few weeks and I kept getting excitied on what this thing can do. Now roll on March/April when Obilvion comes out.

 

[Whipped]

If I had the room then I'd gladly do something along those lines. Off next week, so may have a go at re-arranging the bedroom at some point.

At least until I can offord to buy a house.

 

[Aada]

Yeah Oblivion will own.

 

[Whipped]

Just checked Play.com's tracking. Looks like condemned was delivered today, so I have something to play tonight now

Its pretty awsome.. but gets really boring good job its a short game.

I think the worst game i have is PDZ man i hate that game.

Best game is probably NFS:MW online is good fun

I like PGR3 but its not as fun as NFS:MW its more of a in a serious mood game.

 

[Talivar]

Kameo was one of best games, condemmed great aswell but short,same for kong,Call of duty 2 seems good but im not so into normal fps, quake 4 went back to shop same day i got cus very crap and finally pgr3 was good
Thats my views anyway

 

[Ch3tan]

Kameo is too short and waaaay to easy. control system is almost as bad as perfect darks... RARE seem to have a problem here.

 

[Aada]

Yeah im not liking rare atm but they won't have another game our for about 5 years knowing them so no worries here.

Kameo didn't take to me either just couldn't be bothered with it.


Infact the only game i completed out of the 7 games i have is COD2 which was awsome from start to finish.


Im too addicted to pc gaming atm

 

[Talivar]

Im opposite PC games dont feel as good to me anymore,Dont get me wrong i loved the old rpgs like Bladurs gate ect and i was addicted to daoc/mmo like any1 else but that feels in the past to me and the consoles feel the future.
Ofc i bet a new MMO is released now and im addicted again just to prove me wrong

 

[Aada]

Its all about the online interaction for me now.. sure xboxlive is nice but it doesn't feel the same.

 

[Moo]

Don't forget that you get the best bang for your buck by buying a 360 over a gaming pc anyway, i mean if u bought a pc that could play games like quake4 it would cost u over 600 quid at least, and would not be playing the latest games in 3 years to come - which the 360 will be doing for a mere £210 or £280


they're still fixing mine

 

[KevinUK]

BUT Quake 4 is what, £40 - 50 on xbox 360? More like £20 on PC or maybe even £15.

So £300 for 6 games or £150 max for 6 PC games.

I will get a next gen console but not at those current prices. And to play Q4 mp I would have to pay £40 for xbox live? Well its free on the PC.

Talivar - you say you have gone off PC gaming, so why buy an Xbox where at least half of the line up games are also on PC


(I like consoles really but I always end up back on the PC).

 

[Talivar]

Main launch games i went for tho was Kameo and Condemmed Both of which i loved,maybe im unlucky but PCs cause me headaches with parts breaking or needing replacing but consoles its all simple
Im not a normal FPS lover so that genre holds no sway for me, RPGs are my main game and lately the PC has lacked for them (not inc MMO),if pc was to have a return to the day of baldurs gate ect it would be differant but atm the future of PC games looks mainly FPS or strategy or MMO.

 

[GDW]

Well the shops in Belfast are full of the core systems. Its the premiums that are as rare as hens teeth because of the harddirive production issues. Why people are paying premiums on ebay for the core system baffles me
