I wonder if the graphic novel is similar to the game? That would mean:

 

  • 4 or 5 pages somewhere in the middle would be exactly the same, but with people facing the opposite way
  • Reading it on your own gets boring about 75% through it
  • Reading it with your friends never gets boring

Got some of the driving satunt achievements now, Hangtime, stunt driver, 2 front flips, etc. But i can't get the 115 feet in a vehicle, any ramps i can use? The guide tells me to drive up a building, but the camera angle changes funny so i can't do it.

No problem... just don't ask me WHY it works that way!

 

Also, not sure if you've got the "Throw a person X yards" achievement yet, but if not, just throw someone into the sea or river where it's deep. That usually works.

Just ordered a 360, finally buckled. Premium with GeOW, Crackdown and PES6 for £289 delivered.

There's this place in scotland that does it for £50 and then gives you a 6 month warranty. Obviously not official but I've heard good things about them.

Or, if you're willing to put some effort in, according to some you should be able to kick up enough of a fuss to get microsoft or the store to replace it for free under consumer laws because it's basically an inherent fault. Here's a thread on a footy board I go on explaining how to go about it:

Although I dunno if this will still work if it's "well over 12 months old". Worth a try though. People power!

You may get it fixed for free. Two of my mates had their 360s give the Red Lights and they werent launch consoles and they also had it longer than 12 months. They phoned Microsoft and they both got them fixed for free and they were back playing within less than a week..

LMBO funniest thing I have read all day. Also sent you a message on Live about Just Cause.

I'm trading in some games tommorow. I hope it comes out to over GH2's amount but it won't. It would be good to get it, but the proble would arise when I would have to go to my lesson carrying around a bag with the game in...I'll get round it somehow...

And it burns, burns, burns...

 

 

Thanks for your bundle/wireless bridge help people. I'm getting it at the weekend and I don't think the one from Play-Asia would arrive in time, so I'll just go with Game. Unless the 360 comes with a cord that lets me play it on my computer, and I can stick with ethernet?

If my monitor is a VGA, and I buy the VGA cable, will I definitely be able to plug in my 360 and it'll work?

Depends.

You might need a male/male adaptor. Depends on what resolutions your monitor can do.

 

It depends on alot of things.
