360 W00t!

[Jingo]

Yesterday I managed to finally get my jammy mits upon a 360 :)

Due to winning a graphic design competition I had £250 to spend in a UK electronics retailer, plus a handy £75 voucher and a staff discount rate :)

So I managed to bring home a new 360 60gb, additional controller, resident evil 5, lips with 2 microphones and a Wii Fit (so my poor wii doesn't feel left out) for the princely sum of £7. :D

Not the cheapest deal on the xbox around sure but it had to be spent there and then so I still think I achieved fairly good value for money :p ;D

Shall be splashing out on more games (especially co-op :D) soon but in the meantime will be getting used to this dashboard etc

Prepare for the impending torrent of "how do I..." questions.

:eek:

Shall be looking to the following games shortly : Left4Dead, Fallout 3, Mirrors Edge, Fable II and Guitar Hero/Rockband (unsure what's best as of yet) :)

[Desmo]

Nice one matey :D

Will add you to the friends list later on :D

[Justsomebloke]

Get Forza2.

If you haven't played GH/Rockband before it might be worth trying it first as I know a couple of people at work had bought it and not liked it. It's not everyone's idea of a fun game (mine included :))

Oh and agree with JSB get Forza2 if you can :) I could chuck you a couple of cars if needed.

[Jingo]

I've played GH before which (despite playing both electric/acoustic REAL guitar) I found good fun - I haven't played Rock Band before but I guess it's pretty much the same kind of thing (?)...

Cheers for the advice boys & girls - Sorry JSB/Jhadur - Racing games aren't really my thing (except mario kart! :p) but thanks for the offer nonetheless :)

[Psymonkee]

Get Rock Band over GH games.

Cheap (wired) controllers at Argos

Congrats, don't forget to look at the launch day games and indeed the console's very early games as they are amongst the best compared to the present stuff.

[Wossi]

Good work Agent!

Crackdown. One of the best games there is. Get it.

[leowyatt]

For some good fun get yourself a copy of Call Of Duty 4

[john]

Call of duty 4 is a must. I also agree with Rock band over guitar hero. The games longer and there is better download content

Shall be looking to the following games shortly : Left4Dead, Fallout 3, Mirrors Edge, Fable II and Guitar Hero/Rockband (unsure what's best as of yet) :)

Fallout 3 > Mirrors Edge > Left 4 Dead > Fable 2 > Rock Band.

In that order for me. Though there are 2 better games than those mentioned in The Darkness (yay, get to mention it again \o/) and BioShock. Also, look at the PGR series, maybe PGR4 for you, as it's brilliant!

[DanTheMan]

I'm missing my 360 so much. Can't wait to start work so that I can get myself one again.

There's a good years worth of games that I need to catch up on and I'm looking forward to MW2 and Fifa '10.

[Justsomebloke]

No Forza2 :'(

You may redeem yourself by getting Rock Band 2, Then rent Rock band 1 & spend 400 points transferring all the tunes over. This will turn you into a Rock God like me. :cool:
