The launch of Sony's long-awaited PlayStation 3 games console in Europe has been delayed until March 2007.

Save your money and have a Wii instead :D
Don't tempt me MB.. I was already working out money in my head after having the demo at your place on Sunday.

I wasn't particulary impressed with the 360s graphics tbh .. or is it me?

I've already told you - don't tempt me!
I'll most likely end up getting a 360, but I'm trying to be a bit careful with my cash so that I can get the new car sooner rather than later.

Gameplay > GFX. Where else can you kill a zombie with a shopping cart to the head? :D

Have you been to the 24hr Tesco at 4am......
Save your money and have a Wii instead :D
Tis what I'll be doing :D I'm really in the mood for something different, and the wii gives me that without raping me on price.
Well the xbox360 modding scene is hotting up now along with the *cough* scene. Once this is more established then i'll be getting one, but then again I am a very naughty boy ;)
I'm more interested in the Wii if i'm honest. After having a lot of fun with the DS, i'd like to see what they are bringing with it.
I want to get a Wii and a 360 :/
God knows where the money will come from though :(
Although there's no official release date for Europe yet for the Wii is there?
Q4 2006 I think. So it could be Oct 1st or Dec 23rd in time for Xmas :D
Bit late for getting around to announcing the official date isn't it? Wonder if that means it'll get delayed.
What sound outputs does the 360 have? I think I've used up all the optical inputs on my Amp but there are a couple of digital coax spare.
I heard there maybe an announcement on the 12th or 15th. October is too close, November is the PS3 launch. They should launch it a week before the PS3 just to make people choose the cheaper, better option :D
Is there a confirmed list of launch games, while we're on the subject, in a 360 thread :D
You know, my phone contract is up, and I'm seeing deals that get me a free 360....... :D

You do know the PS3 has been pushed back to next March don't you?

Damn. Knew I shouldn't have renewed. I got done over there. :(

Not sure that he was :)

Launch the PS3 a week before the PS3? Me thinks he was talking about the Wii :D
Haha. I meant in the *other* countries :p
November is the PS3 launch.
Thats the bit I was referring to. :p

I know the post was about the Wii but he did say that the PS3 is a November launch. :D
Ok, serious question time. These free 360 offers are all core's, of course, so what would I need to buy ontop of that to make me reasonably comfortable? I'm thinking hard drive & gold subs at the mo. Also, what video connectivity does it have out the box?
I believe the differences between the core and premium packs are: wireless controller (core has wired), xbox live headset, ethernet cable, HD component cable (core has a composite cable).
Out of the box, you'll just get a composite lead if you have the core package, but premium has an HD component lead.
Hmm, cant be having that. My TV will take component, DVI or VGA, and I'd better use one of them for the 360. I'd live with a wired controller for a while, have plenty of cat5 knocking about (including a box with about 60M in, some RJ45's and a couple of crimps :p), dont know if I'm bothered about a headset (would depend on how many people I actually know use it. No interest in talking to randoms).
So getting some prices off play, looking at about £15 for a component, or £20 for a VGA cable, and 65 BASTARD QUID FOR A 20GB HARD DRIVE :O:O:O
£65 for a 20gb hdd?? Jeez talk about bending over and taking it roughly!
I'm considering getting one, i've been looking at the price of games and they are normally about £40 where I have been looking. Is this right or is there a cheaper outlet? Just looking at play.com
I've been meaning to find out which would give me the best pic - HD Component or VGA (I'm already using the HDMI & DVI inputs on the TV). I do know what the 360 will upscale DVDs when outputting through VGA, but I've already got an upscaling DVD player hanging off the DVI port so that doesn't bother me.
Yeah HDs are pricey for the 360 :(
It was payday for me and it was better than expected.......I must avoid this thread now. :lipsrsealed:
/finds sneaky ways to trick Jen back into this thread. :p :D
I'd be willing to put a fiver on her having one before Christmas...
I'd be willing to put a fiver on her having one before Christmas...
Lol :p
I'm trying to figure out a way but I don't see it.
Got a birthday next month but no way I can ask for that for a present ;D
I still reckon Christmas is the only possibility sadly :( If I get lucky, maybe a housemate will have one.
Everyone needs a 360. :)
My copy of Dead Rising has not turned up today. I'm seriously considering going into town at lunchtime and just buying it there.
The media center extender is probably what's swaying me toward a 360 long term (as I have a media center, and I want to me moving out, so I can make proper use of that little niceness). If it wasn't for that I think the lack of Final Fantasy would have kept me waiting for the PS3.
I know nothing about xboxes but what's to stop you just putting any old hard drive in one?
Enchanted Arms looks a promising replacement for Final Fantasy :)

The hard discs don't go in the 360, they're external.
I just worked out what my gross pay will be this month (I get my new salary, 2 months of it back dated and my quarterly bonus) so come pay day I'll be a 360 owner.

Another thought on that note... Does it need powering on its own?

:( Git :p
I have the annoyance (as helped by my helpful Mum pointing it out) that I know if I'd just gone fulltime at work instead of moved, I could afford all this.
Ah well.

I assume they've introduced yet another proprietory connector rather than just using USB/FW/eSATA then?

That does it - Sony, you can kiss my arse. I'm F***ing fed up waiting for this damned thing to release.
Where's a good place to buy a 360 and which games are good on it (mostly prefer FPS but will have a go at RPGs - no driving games please :p)?
Stan :)

I don't believe so.
Hehe been watching the Dead Rising footage on YouTube, I want that game so bad!
Should get my freebie Core system through in the next few weeks from my phone contract, first stop hard drive, another controller and a couple of games I think! :D

Thats one very big reason why I didn't go to Uni, absolutely no call for it unless you're looking to get into programming or a very specialised area of computing. Even then with programming if you've got a good portfolio you can often get a job in the field. When I compare my financial status to those of my mates who've gone to uni and essentially just come out and done support work, I'm the best off, with better prospects. Even if you ignore the specific field of IT, I've been of a skillset and experience level capable of earning more than friends (am now on more than most of my IT graduate friends, and I'm underpaid compared to typical sector wages.)

Gameplay are very good for games and consoles, excellent delivery times and good prices. The games I recommend for you are Oblivion (FPS+RPG), Call of Duty 2 (FPS), Perfect Dark (FPS), Dead Rising (Zombie splatterfest), and Saints Row (GTA style game that betters it in several areas). All will keep you busy for some time :)
I'm highly likely to get a 360 now, but I want a laptop first. On the subject though, what's the most cost effective way of getting Live membership at the moment? I know there are a couple of cheap (~£15) games that come bundled with 12 months.

There were but you'd need to open an XBOX account and then port it over to the 360 account.

And that's a PITA?
Not really, I found porting over my Live details to be quite simple. Of course, it all depends on you having access to an Xbox to register your details in the first place.

I can't remember, but could you register 2 x-box accounts on 1 x-box? If so, you can do it on mine if you want Daz.
If that's an option, then sorted :)

Thanks Davey, I'll give that some serious thought. I have Oblivion and CoD2 for the PC (both of which I've started but only just, to get a feel for them).

**** it I can't go without anymore. My mobile contract is up soon, I'm getting me a core and grabbing an HD cable and a hard drive :D
The final straw was getting an HDTV and really wanting something to make the most of it. Plus Dead Rising sounds and looks like the best ****ing fun game for ages.
Which cable should a guy go for though? Is component sexy enough?
What contracts are these that offer a free xbox 360??
18 month ones (mostly, or >£45 a month) with the likes dialaphone and onestopphoneshop

Component will rock. IIRC that's what MB is using and the picture was very good. If you want to upscale DVD's to 720p or 1080i then VGA is the way to go, if not then component will do the trick.
Na, not bothered about that really, thanks for the info :)

I came back with this (http://www.hitachidigitalmedia.com/DMG/viewProduct_1.jsp?productid=534&drilldown=2&urlnumber=0) :embarassed:
I don't know how the hell I managed to get so sidetracked but at least I'll have something good to play it on when I do get it :D

I bought a VGA cable in preparation for the phone people sending me my 360 and it says supports all the res for gaming, and only 480 for DVDs... this is an official VGA cable as well. I thought that sounded a bit odd, but.. that's what it says.

Hmm, I wonder where I got that information from then? I've not actually tried any DVD's on the 360, no point as I've got an upscaling Pioneer DVD player connected to the DVI port on my TV.
Wooo its all arriving!!!
So far got
Core (free!)
Wired pad
Wireless pad
Hard drive
Pro Evo 6
Table Tennis
Official Component cable
Amped 3
And on Monday...have the Sony 50" RP Bravia arriving :D
Soooo annoying though, don't have a TV yet to play on till Monday so it's just sitting there...argh!

My mad brother bought one from Argos last week.
279 quid and he got console,20gb HD, wireless controller, wired controler, cables/leads, PSE6, Madcatz wheel and pedal set and a stand.
Outstanding deal if you ask me and the games look and play great.
I think at that price it is definetly time to buy a 360 if you have the Dough.

Was just reading a review of it and apparently it delivers more than initially thought. This was the game that made me want a 360, originally I was waiting for the PS3 and RE5 but I saw a demo of gears and thought it looked awesome.
I don't know much about Gears of War for some reason. Have to pick up a games magazine on the way to the station in a bit and catch up.
Buying dresses, overlooking games shops, and now this. I am truly :shocked:

oh god! Just been watching Gamespot's review of Gears and want a 360 with gears even more now :(
The best thing about Gears, imho, is that it has delivered. A year ago when PGR3, Kameo, Perfect Dark etc came out people were like "meh where's the next gen?" There were screenies of Gears floating around, and videos that people just didn't believe. Lots of people doubted that we'd see that level of gfx from the 360 and yet on Friday we will. I've watched the latest trailer a few times and its just insane how detailed everything looks. I bought a new vga cable just so I can get it in HD on my 19'' monitor. The trailer looks fantastic. The only problem I have is that my 5.1 system is downstairs on the 28'' *NON* hdtv and my monitor is upstairs. So do I take HD over 5.1? I'm tempted to go with the 28'' tv and 5.1 over HD as the sound will make the game more atmospheric and immersive.
leowyatt
14-11-2006, 14:32
Pete have you watched the gamespot review? if not watch it now :D
That chainsaw looks too damn cool. I think I'll go for 5.1 for single player than move it back upstairs for HD.
Can't wait to pick this up, looks aaaaaaaammaaazing!!!
We had one of these arrive in our new house yesterday:

I'd go for Amazon mate, they have deals where you can buy a 360 and top game such as gears for around £300 notes. That is if you want the premium package.
Brother just walked in having bought Saints Row :cool: What can you do over live with it, I notice it says 2-12 players on the back...
I need a sibling to buy me games :undecided:
BTW how have you got almost as many gamer points as me already? :( Git!

*whistles*
Hmmm http://dwuk.net/smile/eyebrow.gif ;)
All I've done is the tutorial on Oblivion and killed a couple of hundred zombies on DR. I've played more demos than anything else, stretching the legs of my new DSL.
50 points for the tutorial? Not bad!
I've hardly touched DR, I will soon, when I get more than 30mins to myself. Hopefully the weekend.

16-11-2006, 12:23
I'll show you plenty of games at the weekend Jen, including how cool your character in Dead Rising is when he's at max level! :D

16-11-2006, 13:53

I know :(
It's been a stressful week and I think stress ruins my urge for gaming, I just end up watching TV instead :undecided:
Slacker :p Get back to games. Gears of War tomorrow \o/ Superman demo is fun. I've played that like 5 times.
I played the Superman demo a bit yesterday :) Wasn't overly impressed though. It was fun, just not very next gen like. Reminded me of Spiderman 2 though which I liked.
Yeah its not next-geny and it is basically Spiderman 2 with Superman but thats always a good thing as Spiderman 2 rocked :D One thing you shouldn't do is throw a fire engine at a fire. It doesn't seem to put it out :D
I accidently threw an ambulance at someone injured, that was funny ;D

I want to be on the happy live train 360'ing my time away knocking up a nice tally of stars :cool:
It's poxy xmas and not only do i have a daughter but a grandson an all, Numerous expensive trips down South yada yada yada :angry:
Maybe i can buy a 360 for little Alfie and keep it at my house till he is 4 or summit, Would that be fair :p
I just don't have a spare 280 laying around which really ****** me off as in the past i have had to much spare cash.
Getting used to the normal limits of money is one thing i don't think i will ever be able to do. Serves me right for spoiling myself i s'pose.
Anyways GIMME YOUR 360 now or i will throw sticky sweets in your hair, stuff Franks poo through your letterboxs and Destroy All your school books.
NO THIS IS NOT A ******* JOKE.

Woooo. Traded in Test Drive and GRAW for £45 :D Got Gears, Dead Rising and BF2142 all for £50 \o/ Dead Rising is £30 this week. Its cheaper than a pre-owned copy.
Anybody else got Saints Row? Wanna try this co-op stuff, but without a random if I can help it :)

Aye, I've got it. Sunday good for you? We're entertaining Jen tomorrow so I'll be free most of Sunday I reckon :)
I don't mind watching you play Saint's Row if you want to do it Saturday. :) Not played it myself.
I don't actually know what the plan is for tomorrow besides the basic rough idea :D
Davey_Pitch
17-11-2006, 16:33
I think the idea is to meet you in town, take you shopping and get some food, then go home and start the gaming :D
Aye, I've got it. Sunday good for you? We're entertaining Jen tomorrow so I'll be free most of Sunday I reckon :)
Sounds like a plan, I aint got much on :) Plan for afternoon/evening time and we'll just catch each other if you like :)
Aint got a headset yet though I'm afraid so we'll be text chat. Will sort that out if I get into Live properly. Prolly just get the webcam, £50 for it with 12 months live and a headset aint bad tbh.
Davey_Pitch
18-11-2006, 00:23
Aye, the webcam seems pretty good by all accounts, seen some decent pictures taken with it. A bit of a luxury for me though so it can wait a while :)
I'm not too bothered about it, but if I'm buying 12 months gold and heaset it's essentially free.

D'oh! Sorry Daz, completely forgot about this yesterday. Got caught up in Gears of War, then ended up playing some 4 vs 4 matches against some lads from OcUK (stomping on their heads!). I'll catch you online one evening and we can go through the co-op stuff then :)
No worries dude :) think I'm gonna order the headset and that this week so at least we'll be able to talk. You tried any of the co-op stuff yet?

maybe a daft question but if one was to purchase a 360 does it have wifi builtin?
Unfortunately not, and the official wireless adapter is quite expensive :( You can buy those ethernet > 802.11 bridges for a lot cheaper and it'd work fine, it's just something else to power.

ah cool, got one of them from Scan for the G3 Imac works a great, infact!! I can just plug the 360 straight into the router which is under the telly anway because that is where we had the cable modem installed. doh! :embarassed:
Camera and that is on my desk :) It really is not bad value for money, camera, headset, 12 months live, 200 MS points and 2 arcade games. I was only expecting one, and had no idea about the points.
Wouldnt mind a stab at those Saints Row co-op levels Davey if you're still up for it.

Only played it once, but it was perfectly smooth. If you've never played it then it will take a bit of getting used to over Fifa, as the gameplay is vastly different, but also vastly superior if you give it some time. I have real trouble playing Fifa now as I just find it too clunky.

Well I've only played PE one and that was version 5 on my boss' xbox and I only played 1 match :( lost that one too which was a bummer ;D I'm sure i'll pick it up as I go along and from all reports it is much better than Fifa.

Game advice required people!!!
Just seen video reviews of Saints Row and Dead Rising. Both look cool, especially liked Dead Rising when you got a drilling machine and picked up a zombie on the end ;D
Saints Row has been the more fun game for me out of the two, purely because of DR's save system. That's not to say it isnt most amusing of course, it can just sometimes be difficult to maintain progress :)
Either that or I need to spend some more time looking for bogs.

Davey_Pitch
30-11-2006, 16:43
I love both games, and I've spent quite a bit of time on both of them. Dead Rising's save system is weird, though when you get used to it, it stops becoming an annoyance and starts adding to the atmosphere (you're in a zombie infested mall after all, it's not meant to be easy :)).
I personally would recommend getting both :D
Davey_Pitch
30-11-2006, 16:44
:huh:
To save in Dead Rising you generally need to get to the bathroom and save in there. There are other save points (the safe area you first start in, whenever you finish a case), but in general the toilets are where you need to save. :)

If I were forced to choose between the 2 it would be a very tough decision. I think I enjoyed Dead Rising's story and general gameplay more, but I think Saints Row has more variety and longevity to it. Both truly are excellent though, so if there's any realistic way to afford them both, get them. There is also the option of loaning 1 of them from me, it's not like you're that far away from me :)

Planning to devote a good evening to NFS:MW this weekend. :) Do love a NFS game.
I've finally got round to telling my Mum I bought a 360 :D So got GoW, Saint's Row and Quake 4 on my Christmas list now. Suggested she has a look on ebay as I'm not bothered if the game I get is second hand.
You're right Davey, a morning devoting some time to giving some actual thought to where I'm saving in DR has renewed my will to get it completed :)
I seem to have overtaken someone's gamerscore in the process, just ;)
Bloody 4 points in it :p
I'm hoping to play a fair bit of NFS:MW and TR:L tonight but have to see. Also getting pestered by some CS mates to play WoW with them :undecided:

I struggled with it for a while as well, but as soon as you do put a bit of time into it, it becomes a routine and you stop thinking about it so much. As well, when your character levels up more you need to save less and you become so much harder :D

People have just been asking what I want for Christmas and birthday so I've told them to get me saints row and dead rising. I've even offered to get them off the bay so they aren't too expensive. I'm not that bothered about them being brand new. Just looking on there now for games. How does this sound for a list?
Dead Rising
Saints Row
PE6
anything else people think I have to have?
Sound like good choices to me :)
I'd also recommend Call of Duty 2 unless you've already played it on the PC, and PGR3 if you like racing games.
I've still yet to properly get into Dead Rising but I know it's because I've not really devoted proper time to it :embarassed:

Never played COD on any system. I've only played the MOA on the cube. Oh add to that I've got GoW and TR:Legend.
I'm thinking of adding a racing game, which is better, Burnout or PGR3? I've played Burnout on the cube too.
Burnout Revenge is better :) More options for playing it over Live, plus it's just more fun. :D
I'd own it for the 360 if it wasn't for the fact I've already got it for the X-Box.
CoD2 I really like but i did love the original, just a good, fun FPS game with a good story.
leowyatt
02-12-2006, 18:07
So the consensus is Burnout instead of PGR3?
Well if it helps, I reckon Davey's going to agree with me :p
leowyatt
02-12-2006, 18:11
Hehe well if people think it's good I'll get it. I'm probably going to try and get it in the Jan sales as I'll have 5 games to keep me going by my birthday so will need to play through those. Really looking forward to finally getting it and getting online. Just to warn everyone you're probably all going to be pestered come Christmas :D
I'd say Burnout is probably more fun than PGR3 online. When I've played PGR3 online most people just need to smash each other off the road, so I can see why Burnout would be more fun as its designed for that specific reason.
leowyatt
02-12-2006, 19:40
Thanks I'll see where I can find Burnout then :)
Oh Pete, you are the only one left of my friends who is still pending :p

Davey_Pitch
03-12-2006, 13:40
Well if it helps, I reckon Davey's going to agree with me :p
You know me too well :D I would agree that Burnout is better than PGR3 in that it's more fun, but I certainly wouldn't dismiss PGR3, it's one of the few driving games I've played to completion (on one difficulty setting anyway, not good enough to do better).
As for other games I'd recommend, they are....
Smackdown vs Raw 2007 (you don't need to be a wrestling fan to like it, but it helps)
Oblivion (may take a while to get into, but I've put 300 hours into it so far so it must be good ;))
Hitman: Blood Money (make sure you play it stealthily, it's much better that way)
Top Spin 2 (best tennis game I've ever played)
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (like the X-Men Legends games if you've ever played them, only better)
Test Drive: Unlimited (play it online or offline, either way it's great when you get used to the handling)
Fight Night Round 3 (easy 1000 points if you want to be a score whore, plus it's the best boxing game ever)
Geometry Wars: Evolved (best XBL Arcade game)
I could recommend more, but I'm sure that'll be enough for you. I've got all of them (bar Top Spin 2 as I traded it in as I'd done all I needed to do) so I'm sure I'll loan you a few after Christmas :)
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (like the X-Men Legends games if you've ever played them, only better)
I'm still waiting for Play-Asia to ship that :( They've taken my money and said they'd ship it as soon as they get stock....that was mid November. :(

It really is a game you need to put some effort into before you see real rewards. I just killed a maniacal clown juggling chainsaws while wearing a dress (not often you can say that :D), gained a level and the games got distinctly harder. I'm currently trying to get two Japanese tourists out of Wonderland Plaza with little success. They keep getting surrounded and I run out of weapons to get them out, the Zombie count is huge :/
Might try that mission in North plaza instead.

I was like that as well, ended up restarting it several times, but after a while it does start to become habit, when you enter a new area you find out where the toilets are then go and save it.
I just killed a maniacal clown juggling chainsaws while wearing a dress (not often you can say that :D),

When you've killed Adam, you can pick up his chainsaw from the section in the middle by the ride controls. It re-spawns whenever you enter the area and you can carry more than 1 :) Also, go and get yourself the books Engineering and Entertainment from Bachman's Bookporium (by the stairs to the upper level of Paradise Plaza), and Criminal Biography from Sir Book-A-Lot (on the upper level of Wonderland Plaza, across from the bathroom). If you get those 3 books, your small chainsaw will last 27 times as long as usual. Get them, 2 chainsaws, and a few health potions and you can tear through hundreds of zombies without batting an eyelid :)

Not sure if people will have seen this but it appears Alan Wake has been delayed till 2008, well according to the US 360 mag. A post on the AW forums says there has been no mention of a release date and they are happy with the progress.
I never knew it respawned :D Nice one dude, that's a big help :)
Also, if you give them both those ridiculous plastic lipsticks from the perfume counter they're actually pretty lethal with them!
Got them done now, was really easy with uber chainsaw :) Slipped back into a bad habit and forgot to save before walking into a shootout with brad and that guy with a sniper rifle, so had to go back and help that guy who couldnt walk out of North Plaza again though, oops.
Only tried twice with this guy (I died once, Brad died the next time) but I think I'm in a big of a predicament. I dont have time to go and kill whoever's guarding the gun shop, so I'm left with no projectile weapons, just a sledgehammer and chainsaw. Whenever I'm lucky enough to get close to him with some health left (one shot from that rifle takes 2 bars), he either barges me or smacks me with the gun.
I get the impression I need a gun of some sort :/
It's really difficult with a gun due to not having time to aim. The only way I was able to do it was later on when I had a lot more health from levelling up, and just running in with the chainsaws.
I'll have another stab later. Might try a bit of a wild card option and grabbing a hockey stick or golf club from the sports shop, see what I can do with that.
Really starting to get the bug for it now though, I've been offered tomorrow off and I might take it just so I can spend the afternoon playing this :embarassed:
;D That's the kind of thing I'd do :D
I'm well into NFS:MW now, want to get it completed before the Swansea meet. :)
Davey_Pitch
05-12-2006, 13:10
I've beaten Carlito with both guns and the chainsaw, and I don't think one method is easier than the other. You can aim quickly while he's trying to shoot Brad so that makes it easier. If you want to chainsaw him, use the pillars as cover and move close towards him while his attention is on Brad. You'll get hit a couple of times but you only need to hit him 3 times with the chainsaw and he's done.
Probably not even that, Brad does a decent amount of damage himself. It's probably easier than I think, but you know what it's like, couple of quick attempts then you cant help but think about it after you've put the pad down :/
Hopefully I'll have plenty of time after this to go and have fun with another psycho or two. I pushed it right to the limit going to get wotsisface with the bad lag and get back in time for this.
Starting to see how the whole 3/5/7 day system wont get annoying. Sure, you have to go over the same stuff again, but being at a higher level means you can do them in different ways and have more fun with it. Well, I hope anyway.
I got the wrong end of the stick - thought you were talking about the guy in the gun shop. :/
The way I did it was with the uzi. Hide in a shop the other side of where Brad is shooting from, and when Carlito turns his back hammer him with bullets. I did it again later on with a chainsaw and a skateboard!
Skateboard is a top suggestion! I've got more chance of finding one of them than I have any decent weaponry.
Finally had a bit of a decent go at DR tonight.
Starting to see how much depth there is to it. And the satisfaction of being able to smash a cash register into a zombie's face :D

Try getting a frying pan, adding cooking oil to it, then putting it on a stove to heat it up. Then introduce pan to the face of any passing zombie ;D
Didn't realise you'd be able to do something like that :D
Have to say I'm impressed by the physics engine that I've seen so far, as well as the ingenuity of the game designers just from what I've heard.
Hopefully have Sunday free to play it to my heart's content. Only really loaded it up today because NFS:MW was pissing me off :embarassed:
Poor deprived zombies.
It really is a brilliant game. Quite complicated, but brilliantly executed, and great fun if you dont want to consider some of the complexities.
Should be leaving you a good score to work at over the weekend btw Jen. Not done yet ;)

I want to complete NFS:MW before Swansea but I don't think I'm going to manage it. :(
Especially not now I'm liking the look of DR at last. :D
I'll probably go back to DR when I've done a bit more on Lego Star Wars II. I've finished all the episodes but need to re-do most of them to get all the minikits, true jedi & free story true jedi. Fantastic game.

Bah, I need someone to have a gamerscore race with, it'd give me extra motivation to finish some stuff I reckon.

I was having one with McDingle, but he pulled away a bit :(

It is fun.....but I'm not sure if it does my competitive spirit good. :embarassed: I'd done so well to hide it until this ;D
Does give me the motivation to complete games though, which I've always been crap at getting round to doing. So I suppose in a way it means I'm reaching the full potential of the game which is always good. :)
Although worryingly I'm now sitting here thinking how interesting it would be to do some research on how the achievement system has changed gaming, aaaaargh.

Ditto. Even if I plan to trade in the game I now complete them just to get the achievements and gamerscore. It does give you that extra nudge.

Aye, I did that with Top Spin 2 (so far my only 360 game traded in), I spent a couple of house beating everyone in exhibition mode to get the extra points :)
