ReZourceman Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 My mate wants to play a Baseball game but there aren't any PAL ones. Is there any way around this?
Cube Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 My mate wants to play a Baseball game but there aren't any PAL ones. Is there any way around this? The Asian (not Japanese) version of Major League Baseball 2K8 apparently works on a PAL console.
jayseven Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Google tells me; ou can get MLB 2k8 for the 360. The NTSC-J version is PAL compatible and its in english. Not worth getting unless you have live though because in its release state its got atrocious frame rate and crashing issues. The patch pretty much clears it up but its not perfect. If you have the patience to hunt down and implement some slider settings then your in for a seriously good sports game but you will still have to over look some rather obvious glitches. eg. The opening commentary always gets cut off mid sentence!! Its actually quite insightful and context specific and it grates big time when it just chops off mid phrase. There are numerous other bugs in the commentary and game play but nothing truly game breaking. The controls are a stroke of genius in my opinion and far out do the Show. Although the levels of polish in that game are obviously scary compared to this. (cheers BadSneakers, whoever you are) Perhaps check out some backwards-compatable xb games too?
spirited away Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Nothing really on the horizon atm. Next notable game to be released?
Kaxxx Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Just re-bought a 360 Elite, the lure of Gears of Wars 2 became too much.
Aimless Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 My mate wants to play a Baseball game but there aren't any PAL ones. Is there any way around this? If you aren't specifically after a 360 game apparently MLB '09: The Show is very good, and as it's a PS3 game you don't have to worry about region coding. I think there's a demo up on the US Store if you want to give it a go.
jayseven Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 pssst... it's the xbox 360 thread EDIT: Blarg you knew that. I'm just jealous because I saw someone say that on google.
Aimless Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Remember that Coca-Cola promotion that was supposed to be happening? Well there's some free tat on the Marketplace, so I imagine we'll be hearing more about it very soon.
spirited away Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 riddick, by my book. 24th o this month. Getting that in later this week, at work where i'm getting experience. Looks like a pretty good game actually and is getting some impressive scores. There's just nothing i'm really hyped about though atm. E3 I hope will deliver on this front.
jayseven Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I just bought Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty 3! DO people still play the latter?
BeerMonkey Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 got the american version of GH: Metallica whilst at houston and it works fine so dishwasher...any good?
Columnar Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Yay, Sega have confirmed an April 15th release for OutRun Online Arcade and an 800 Microsoft Points price:yay::yay: Was convinced it was going to cost more but hurrah for some sensible pricing. Anybody else getting it next week?
BeerMonkey Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 the strummer on my guitar controller has fucked up great just typical thats the 3rd one to break for me now. (first one green stopped working....2nd the yellow button and now the strummer when i strum down)
Gizmo Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 I just realised something: The three games I'm most looking forward to this year are all the sequels to 07's big new IP. Namely: Bioshock 2, Mass Effect 2, Assassins Creed 2. The only thing missing from the big second half of 07 as I remember it is a new Orange Box.
Dyson Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Red Faction had gotten a lot of interest from me since playing the demo. Give it a whirl; seriously good fun.
Shorty Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Red Faction? Isn't that like, a ten year old PS2 game? I'm feeling out of the loop.
gmac Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 there's a new version coming out Subtitled Guerilla iirc
Hero-of-Time Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 I hate customer service! I have just phoned them up as my credit card has been comprimised so I cancelled it and want the details removed from Live. I had to talk to some indian women who didn't have a clue what I was saying, took me a good 5 mins for her to get my gamertag right. After about another 10 mins of repeating myself she told me I couldn't remove my cards details as its in use with an active account! She then spent another 10 mins trying to explain what I had to do, which I already knew.
