RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - FFX - Jan. 05, 2009
The only thing I didn't like was how you made a jump from xboxes to driving, otherwise, that was a decent attempt at the meme. I couldn't think of anything better. I guess the closest I got was
Yo dawg I herd you like racing so we put PGR4 in yo car so u can drift while u drift.

RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Roan - Jan. 05, 2009
Wow, that's carp scary. I hope nothing too drastic happens and I'll be thinking of all the people at Sony who are at risk for losing their jobs.
The world really sucks right now you guys.
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Rocky - Jan. 05, 2009
Yeah.....everywhere is closing down or being put under administration. I'm not sure where to buy things anymore. D:
I don't really believe Sony would stop with the PS3 though.....it's just too major a project. Though if they did then I guess that means that Microsoft won the console wars.
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - MuchWow - Jan. 05, 2009
NO nintendo did!look at the sales!
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Rocky - Jan. 05, 2009
.......................well in my mind Microsoft would've won. I don't particularly think that the Wii is a great console. But please lets not debate about that. It's just my opinion.

lol the Wii and the DS are on top of the sales charts by far.
Nintendo won this gen by abandoning video game enthusiasts, this type of marketing strategy is becoming the norm now. Wow, GH/RB etc.
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Rocky - Jan. 05, 2009
I must say I adore the DS though. Can't remember the last time I went out without it.
Still, after the failiure of the GC, I don't think it would've been wise to attempt a decent gaming console. Making something unique instead was a much better move for them, even if I don't like it.

Yeah don't get me wrong, I think its terrible and I don't want to see that happen. The last thing the world needs is another mega-corporation like Sony biting the dust.

"We don't have any such plan."
While it never good to say you lay people off and close division (although Sony do this a lot, Sony Wonder died because Sony did want brand to only do music, and IIRC they killed their Robot developers), I think it would only be salt in wound to lie.
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Jehuis Rad - Jan. 06, 2009
If this Xbox crashes one more time im going to kill someone.

PS3 + 3 Games ( GTA4, Warhawk and Rainbow Six Vegas ) = $350 ( I didn't care anyways, the PS3 is broken so anything i got was something ), EB Games were doing a deal on Xbox 360's so I got for $350; Arcade Xbox 360, 2 Games ( Which you get with the System ), Guitar Hero 3 bundle, Play and Charge Kit + 3 Months of Xbox Live.
Happy with what I got and there was really no point for me to hold the PS3 anymore since Tekken 6 is coming to the Xbox 360 aswell and plus on the side the 360 has a bigger variety of games and a awesome online service.
sucks it broke, explains why you weren't on psn LOL.
too me that sounds like a pretty good trade. still didn't you want hdd?
Ohhh man wishing I had one now, that new Menu update took up half of my Memory card
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Roan - Jan. 06, 2009
Yeah a hard drive is definitely a must-have for the 360. lol
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Sam - Jan. 06, 2009
tbh if i didn't plan on downloading anything i could use a memory card instead of a hard drive
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Roan - Jan. 06, 2009
I'm sure you'd change your tune after all the numerous (mandatory) patches, map packs and Rock Band songs filled it up in a heartbeat.
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Sam - Jan. 06, 2009
did i not just say "not downloading anything". map packs and rock band songs are downloaded things.
and you don't get mandatory patches if you aren't connected to xbl
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Rocky - Jan. 06, 2009
Dumb questions but I don't know all that much about the recent generation consoles....so does the Arcade edition not come with a harddrive or was that just his? What different size harddrives are there? How much space do games and whatever usually take up/which hard drive is the best to get?
I didn't get one of the new consoles when they first came out as they weren't in my price league. But I really wanna get an Xbox360 now......I think.
I think it's my fave out of the three but I'm still scared of it randomly breaking on me. D: And although I've played on them all at friends houses and stuff, as I haven't owned one I don't know that much about how they actually work. They're kinda different from the last generation what with harddrives and internets and downloadings and such. So I'm feeling a bit lost.....

Right now there are 3 different versions of the 360 available for purchase:
- Arcade: This comes with no hard drive and no HD-capable cables. It includes a controller (I believe its a wired controller but I'm not entirely sure) and a bundled game (SEGA Superstars Tennis).
- Pro: This is pretty much the pack to get. It comes with a 60 GB Hard Drive, Wireless Controller, Xbox Live Headset, HD and SD Cables (Its a 2-in-1 thing) as well as 2 bundled games (Kung-Fu Panda and LEGO: Indiana Jones)
- Elite: This is the higher end model that comes with everything the Pro has, only its a black-colored console and a 120 GB hard drive.
If you're going to be installing 360 games to your hard drive, most of them take up about 6 GBs of space. Installing isn't mandatory, it just makes a few games run smoother. Downloading stuff from Xbox Live Marketplace kind of varies, because there's lots of stuff you can download (XBL Arcade games, which are normally pretty small in file size -- usually less than 200 MBs), HD movie rentals (these take up a lot of space, 3-4 GBs, but they expire after a few days anyway so the space taken up isn't permanent), and other things like themes and gamer pictures and Rock Band tracks and what have you. Basically if you're going to be downloading anything at all, you're going to need a hard drive.
You can buy hard drives separately. There's a 20 GB HD that I believe is being discontinued soon as a separate purchase, there's the 60 GB Live Pack that comes with a 60 GB Hard Drive, a headset and 3 months of Xbox Live Gold, and there's also the 120 GB hard drive which is crazy expensive.
As for your concerns about the console breaking, the issues have more or less been resolved with the latest batch of consoles. Chances are more than likely that if you buy one of the newest models then you won't encounter any problems, and if you do end up getting a red ring of death, Microsoft has an extended 3-year warranty in place for that, so you don't really have anything to worry about at this point.
Hope that helps.
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Rocky - Jan. 06, 2009
Thanks a lot.
I was actually thinking of PMing you but it in the end it seemed on topic to put it here. Can I contact you if I have any other questions?Also, bah, my idiot dad is now saying when he said he wouldn't mind getting another console he was thinking of getting a Wii. Harry seemed fine with this. Me and my mum were just like 'what the carp?' She said she's gonna talk to him. XD
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Roan - Jan. 06, 2009
Yeah, you can PM me for questions, I don't mind.

My god this looks amazing.
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - FFX - Jan. 06, 2009
Depending on the version of arcade that you will getting, there is either a memory card or onboard flash memory on the Arcade units being sold. The 360 arcades right now a being sold with a wireless controller.
Hope that helps/
