360 W00t!

Jingo · 08-04-2009, 12:33

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.

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

Shall be splashing out on more games (especially co-op

) soon but in the meantime will be getting used to this dashboard etc

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

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)

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.

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!

) but thanks for the offer nonetheless
