Topic: The Xbox 360 Thread

Yay! I needed to pick up a copy for a gift anyway and this will save me some cash.

@Fox.... thankx... i still havent really seen much on it at all. Its sounds like fun, but Im still too new to the game to go buying DLC. Game is really fun though.

One of my most anticipated XBLA game is going to be released on July 7th: Blacklight - Tango Down. In case you never heard of it, check out this video which gives a pretty thorough description of what to expect of this digital download only FPS... GET EXCITED!!!

Dammit, embedding disabled... click on the video box and check it out on YouTube. Try watching it with the vuvuzela button activated just for kicks (no pun intended).

I don't think it looks very good. Sci-Fi games in first person have never worked for me. And I really hate developers recently. If you are going to make a game set in the future, don't make it in the near future. The near future is always so boring. I want super-advanced technologies in my future.

One of my friends does the PR for Blacklight, it does look truly amazing. Hopefully I'll blag a copy;)

Currently playing Crackdown 2. For those who don't read my Tweets/Rants, it's like a pair of comfy pants. Nice to slip into, great feeling but when it comes down to it, it doesn't add anything new to the equation.

Whos down with some Super Street Fighter IV.
as soon I renew my X-Box live

Not I, but play as Juri Hotness for me!

I hadn't heard much about Blacklight, but after watching that video I'm going to give it a shot.

Crackdown 2 is one of my most anticipated titles this year, if only because of how pleasantly surprised I was with the original.

@TheFox, the full game just feels like more of the original. So far, I'm not really experiencing anything new.

OK, I want to get the Slim. Is it possible to transfer everything from my current HDD to the one on the Slim?

Of course, but you need a transfer cable.

OK, great. I'll ask for it for Christmas, and sell my original once the transfering is complete. Thanks.

OMG OMG Castlevania: Harmony of Despair due out August 4th!

Who's playing with me? Dibs on Shanoa! (Unless we can pick the same character, maybe different color schemes or something...)

If you have a usb key laying around, you could just use that...

@eripmav :
I was kinda afraid of that regarding Crackdown 2. I think maybe I'll wait until a sale before I pick it up.

@Dezner:
That's a day one download for me. I'm guessing it might run in the $15 range, but no doubt still worth it.

Day One for me as well! What's your gamertag, by the way?

@Dezner
My gamertag is Feral Critter. You can find me online several times a week, although I frequently go without my headset.

My brother just got the Red Ring of Death recently but somehow, it worked five minutes later. Was he just lucky, or this can happen? But now i'm thinking it would have been better if it didn't work because the 360 Slim has built in wi-fi.

@turtlelink
I have heard cases of people getting the red ring, turning the system off only to have it work fine the next day. Usually it was on borrowed time at that point, though.

From what I hear, the Red Ring isn't always fatal. There are ways to get around it, there are videos on youtube that show ways to overcome this flaw, which contrary to popular belief, is quite common on all consoles. I know more people who went through more PS3's and Wii's than Xbox360's... myself included. I'm on my first old Xbox360, second Wii, and no PS3 'cause the first and only one I bought broke 30 seconds after I turned it on, after that and going through 3 PS2's I will never buy a Sony console again.

Edit:
Anyone here get Blacklight: Tango Down? Add me if you want to play. Gamertag in Sig.
