Time to buy an XBOX360? - Page 249

well finally managed to download the film but it took ages and ages to sign-in.

I think the options to sign automatically you press the guide button, press A on your gamertag and then it's one of the lower options.

EDIT: has anyone come across videos which play on the xbox with sound but no video?

I'll live

Think I've got most of the 10 games anyhow.
Thanks Leo, got it sorted

Was too tired to think properly last night when I was setting it up.
Just downloading 300 now as I managed to just about get it in time before I went to bed last night but only downloaded a couple of percent.

Now to go see if there's any games I want with my Christmas money

When I wasn't able to sleep and tried to get it at half two yesterday morning it took about 15 minutes to sign into Xbox Live.

When I tried yesterday just before posting, it went in in seconds - The post on the xbox forums saying the price had been sorted had been posted just two minutes before so I must have got in quickly. I've not checked to see if it's downloaded yet but I'd hope that it has by now.

That's tonights telly sorted though

Good news that you got a box Jen.

Not a bad haul there from the sales.
I picked up a messenger kit because I've been meaning to for ages, then CoD3 and Tetris Evolution for £30 and The Golden Compass for £30.
3 games and a chatpad for £85, not bad going

They may seem like odd choices of games but I've had my eye on them all really. I know CoD3 is meant to be nowhere near as good as the others but I really love the series so I'm sure it'll be fun if I keep open minded.

Keep meaning to get the chatpad myself.

Haly · 30-12-2007, 01:13

It already looks like a great time saver

Not the most interesting way to spend £25 but convenient

I love my chatpad. I don't use it all that much, but it's great for entering a quick message, especially when you get used to where all the essential buttons are

Haly · 30-12-2007, 12:36

I'm actually feeling mildly overloaded with games now

I've currently got to play The Golden Compass, Assassin's Creed (which all I've done is check it works since Christmas), Viva Pinata: Party Animals, GH3, CoD3 and Tetris Evolution. Plus Feeding Frenzy 2 and Luxor 2 which look fun, and finish off Bladestorm. And I've still got Blue Dragon and Condemned to play from my birthday

I'm going to be pretty skint till February though as I'm hardly getting paid in January so I suppose at least I've stockpiled ready

Davey_Pitch · 30-12-2007, 16:45

For me, I've got Mass Effect left to finish, COD4 to finish, Assassin's Creed, Orange Box and Smackdown 2008 all to actually start, and various other games to finish off achievement wise. They'll keep me going until GTA4 or Rock Band come out in March-ish

I got Assassins Creed for Christmas sooo when I can get the missis off Puzzle Quest I've got thet to play!!!! Oh and the last couple of levels of Conan and Bioshock, and Samurai Warriors.... maybe I really should complete some games before moving onto the next :s
