Posted August 21, 2006 The whole points debate is a useless one, like 3rdChildren said each to their own. If you like getting points for whatever reason then continue doing so if you enjoy doing it. If you dont like points then just play the game for the pure enjoyment of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 22, 2006 You didn't answer my question.... I thought I did on the last page As for the Dead Rising metal case, thats so now worth paying another £10 for. If you order it at Amazon they give you a Dead Rising Faceplate free, which is nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 22, 2006 Whats different about the Limited Edition Metal Case over the regular? It's metal and erm shiny... beyond that I'm not even sure myself, probably comes with an extra disc with hardly any extra content or something, either way it's just down to preference really if you want to pay an extra £5 for a metal case that may or may not last longer than a lurid green plastic case and may or may not be more collectable in the future (probably not as there will be a lot of them produced) then the option is there.

Posted August 22, 2006 The metal cases are also apparently bulletproof (presuming they're by the same company who made the RE4 cases). Well at least according to the company that make them, never tested the idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 22, 2006 You will still only be charged £40 for the Metal case. They ran out of initial preorders so I guess they must of manage to get some more and are charging extra for them this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 22, 2006 http://www.bungie.net/News/TopStory.aspx?cid=8787 There's lots of the feel of the original Halo, where you'll find yourself in a huge (dangerous) and intrinsically fascinating environment and just want to go tool around and check things out... At this stage in development, the encounters are very carefully placed. Sometimes that means you're in frantic firefights (on a significantly bigger scale than in Halo 2, although all I will confirm numerically is at least one more Grunt.) but there's also time for exploratory reflection and the, "Oooh, maybe I can climb up there and check that thing out," sort of play. Don't get me wrong. It's not GTA - it's still Halo, but there's a bigger feeling scope to some of these levels that has me reminiscing about the original game. Makes sense, they want to release the game early, they'll just make the levels boring and all looking alike. Good for me, one less reason to spend money on a 360 soon.

Good for me, one less reason to spend money on a 360 soon. Yea, Bungie sat round a table 2 years ago and decided to make the game boring and generic. Great logic there, you should try applying for a job with Bungie with that attitude. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 22, 2006 I'm not going to be able to get Texas Hold 'Em for free because of UPS' shitty service Sorry about that Moria! I've had some unlucky things with couriers as well! There sometimes fantastic but often irritatingly rubbish. Have you got any memory cards etc.. or anything? You could give it to someone who has live and they can download the game for you? One question. If i was to delete a game-save of a game i no-longer own on my memory card will that take away all the points/achievements etc..? and show i have never owned the game?

Yes, it should work fine. Although this might be a little different since it's the first of its kind. I'd give it a shot anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
