Guest Jordan Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 No. My suggestion is wait till the 30th and buy GRID. Or (if you haven't) finish the entire Orange Box.
CoolFunkMan Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 I'm getting a HDTV soon, and my 360 has no HDMI port (it's a Core that I got at launch.) However, I've seen some great offers on ebay for Premium systems, with HDMI ports. I'm going to attempt to get one (for around £120-90), then I'm selling the Core to my mate for £110, then the extra hard drive and a wireless networking adapter seperately. There's also possible extras I'd be able to sell. But then I'd also need to get a HDMI cable... Is it worth it? I deffinitely want the extra quality...
Guest Jordan Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 HDMI is basically the best of VGA and Component put together... but is it worth selling your console? Probably not. If you want sharpness, go for VGA. If you want colour go for component.
CoolFunkMan Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Fair point, although I might be able to make a profit out of this, so that'd make it worth it! EDIT: Also, if I were to use a HDMI cable for my 360, would I need an official 360 one, or could I buy a different kind?
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 GET rock band instrument edition + solus £140 Never in a million years will I get Rock Band. Not after being jerked around over the release date and the price. There's only so much abuse I can take.
gaggle64 Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Wasn't there a thread for GRID around here or did I just imagine it?
Guest Jordan Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Wasn't there a thread for GRID around here or did I just imagine it? It was talked about in this thread... but there wasn't a seperate one.
Bluejay Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Never in a million years will I get Rock Band. Not after being jerked around over the release date and the price. There's only so much abuse I can take. I want to boycott too, but my friends want to buy and split the cost and that makes it affordable, but still it is awful what they have done.
Domstercool Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Why I bought just drums and game as my guitars work with it! WOO!
Shorty Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Apparently my 360 has been shipped back, which is a pretty quick turnaround considering the status page seemed to indicate they only had it for about 1 day. Why can't I shake this feeling that it's going to come back exactly the same except for a post-it note saying "have you tried a different AV cable?"
Dante Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 MS Selling Old Consoles as "New" (Europe) - Buyers Beware! "French website logic-sunrise who is usually pretty clued up on these things indicates that Microsoft's new 199 Euro's Xbox 360 packs with 2 games and 2 wireless controllers are in fact OLD machines. After opening 10 of them, they found that the machines have been converted to new and all have non-falcon motherboards, old Hitachi 47 or Samsung MS25 drives and the repair center sticker on them. They suggest that you do not buy these packs and if you want a brand new machine, then fork out 199 Euro's for the arcade pack or 269 Euro's for the premium pack" www.maxconsole.net

LegoMan1031 Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 I have a problem. Re-bought a 360 today (yay) got myself an elite. Plugged everything in. Re-downloading the map packs for gears ov war. Turned off the console to do the turn off after stuff has been downloaded. Console stays on for like 20 seconds when the lights goes off and then shuts off. Tried this a few times and does the same thing. Also when turning the console back on the wireless adaptor wont work. I have to unplug and re-plug it for the xbox to recognise it. It's downloading fine when the 360 is on... I have also checked the setting and auto-off and off after download are both enabled... Help!?
CoolFunkMan Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Not in order of purchase: <Saving space> Enjoy That's a pretty decent lineup of games you've got there. Here's my collection, also not in order of purchase: Gears of War CE Perfect Dark Zero CE Halo 3 Legendary Edition Naruto: Rise of a Ninja Tomb Raider Legend (I did have it, but it sold it. Mistake to get rid of it imo. ¬¬) Sonic the Hedgehog (yup, the crappy 2006 one. ¬¬) Prey Quake 4 Dead Rising The Darkness Condemned Burnout: Revenge Assassin's Creed Devil May Cry 4 Doom (Arcade) Mortal Combat (Arcade) (and I have a feeling that I'll be getting Guitar Hero III for my birthday. ^^) Hmmm, I need more games. Well, I'm probably going to get round to getting GTA IV at some point, and Condemned 2, once I've actually managed to complete the first one. EDIT: I've just realised; a lot of the games you've listed I own on PC anyway.

Guest Jordan Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 I've had my 360 since release and a nice flow of money.
