Time to buy an XBOX360? - Page 342

Just read this on the official ms site:

Games for Windows – LIVE makes great Windows games even better, now offering completely free online multiplayer including TrueSkill™ matchmaking
• 1 gamertag, 1 friends list, 1 list of achievements and gamerscore for your Windows-based PC & Xbox 360
• Experience cross-platform gameplay with Universe at War, Lost Planet: Colonies, Shadowrun, and more.
• Games for Windows – LIVE is available in every country and region supported today by Xbox LIVE®

So that could mean playing the PC version and getting all the achievements instead of playing the 360 version? If so, I hope COD4 achievements transfer over as I can let my dad play it on veteran on the pc for me

COD isn't Games For Windows Live, just Games for Windows - no achievements etc.

Gamestation are doing a 24 hour deal jobbie (new deal every hour). Might be worth keeping an eye on

Good price for NG2

Random question - how much do Game give you for trade in on the 20GB hard drive? Bagged me a bargain on the 120 and cant decide what to do with the old one.

Sorry dude no idea. You'd need to phone a store. Care to share your bargin??? I'm probably going to invest in one before the fall update.

Same reason I had one

Just a good ebay find. Guy was selling one (boxed retail with the transfer kit) but lives dead close. Had high delivery charges (which was keeping the bidding down) but offered collect. Will probably sell the transfer kit on, and if I actually sell the hard drive rather than trade it I'll get my money back.

If I could trade the hard drive for Rock Band solus I would though. Haven't geetar'd in a while but fancy some new songs.

yeah "probably"

means we wouldn't have an aircraft taking off in the front room every time I played a game

Decent price for NG2 there

I've still got to go back to that, never seem to have the patience lately

Few i'd like there, namely Civ Revolutions and Resi Evil 4 if it's on the wii. Can't though

Might be tempted by Halo. Fancy going through it on Legendary in co-op eventually. We'll see.

Tell you what, this new hard drive aint half fast. Games library/achievements/media are very very snappy (games library in particular, was impressed by that when I saw Davey's), plus save game access etc is blasted through. Unexpected bonus! Even loading the live blade from boot seems quicker tonight, though I'd be surprised if that was actually down to the drive (I guess there's a lot of caching going on, so it would help there... dunno!).

Anyway, zippeh and lots of space. Splendid.
