S.C.G Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I so hope they put the Spartan armour in the avatar store! I hope they put it in as a free unlockable with the next Halo game tbh because paying for avatar clothing seems really pointless, especially if it ends up being more than 50 or 100 microsoft points :/ you can get a whole arcade game for 400 points so to me, 100 points on some avatar clothing that doesn't really do anything sounds expensive, still I hope they make it available in the store for people who want to buy it I guess, I just think it would be better if they kept stuff like that free.
Pantsu Man! Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 The downloadable games sounds silly. You can download your games onto friends consoles if you have your gamertag. If you have your disc, you don't need your gamertag... It's one way to say to customers that your purchase is final I guess. Once you've payed and downloaded you can't trade it in or get money back. Pay for Avatar clothing? No thanks. I'll stick with the generic crap.
Jimbob Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 N:E, i have a question. I'm looking to purchase a few new games, one of them being Gears of War II. Would it be a good idea to re-buy the original before playing the new title? Also, anybody have some game recommendations for me. I like my shooters, action-adventures and stuff like that. Take a look at my gamertag for games i've played for any ideas as such. I'm stumped.
Bren Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 If youv already played gears 1 i doubt youll need a refresher, its an easy story to get back into. And shooters, Bioshock, Condemened 1, Halo, Battlefield Bad Company would be my recommendations
Jimbob Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) If youv already played gears 1 i doubt youll need a refresher, its an easy story to get back into. And shooters, Bioshock, Condemened 1, Halo, Battlefield Bad Company would be my recommendations I never actually beat the original Gears (please don't kill me) Downloading a demo of Bioshock as we speak, cheers for those recommendations Skunky Edited June 10, 2009 by Jimbob
Bren Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Ah then give it a play through then, the first's better than the second anyways :P Bioshocks a cracker of a game, such a good story, perfect game to play in a dark room alone and get lost with, its like a good book lol.
Jimbob Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 If i like Bioshock, i'll pick it up over the weekend along with the original Gears.
BeerMonkey Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 bioshock is awesome its one of my fav games on the 360
Jimbob Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Played the demo earlier and have decided to make this a purchase. Cheers for the recommendation
Tellyn Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Turned my 360 on for the first time in over a year yesterday. Got the NXE update, which takes some getting used to but the new dashboard is a marked improvement over the last one. Avatars are also fairly cool, despite the Nintendo fanboy in me sobbing to himself whenever I lay eyes on the virtual me. Doesn't seem to be much use for them right now though. I had a few games on Halo 3, heard some Americans mocking someone on the other team and laughing profusely at their own 'jokes' ("'Ello guvnor, would you like some tea mate?" When will they learn that we don't talk like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins?), somehow I completely forgot about the joys of Xbox Live. Bought Gears of War 2 for £14.99, should be with me tomorrow. I was wondering if anyone had a 1 month trial code for Xbox Live that they would be kind enough to offer me?
Roostophe Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I shat myself when I saw Tellyn was on Xbox Live yesterday. D00d, do you actually have a decent reason for not being online in over a fugging year? Goddammit!

Goddammit! Lack of fundage to feed my gaming habits beyond one console. I have a job now, with about £100 of tax coming back to me soon, so I'm splashing out. The first thing I did was get a name change, my original Gamertag was dire. I will have a look for you, Nathan. Thanks a lot Adam!
Hero-of-Time Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Thanks a lot Adam! No problem. Let me know if it works for you just incase I typed it in wrong.

Tellyn Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Why didn't you upgrade last year to NXE? :\ A friend bought a dodgy console off eBay as an early Christmas present and ended up with loads of games that they couldn't play, so I let them borrow it for a few months.

I haven't heard a single abusive word from randomers since before the NXE update.
Coolness Bears Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I need to get Gold again. I miss playing Left4Dead with randomers screaming in my ear TAAAAAANK!!!!!!!
Dyson Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 TRELLYN when I got uyour message I was fucking crazy., Did you change your gamertag? I could have sworn it wasn't always tellyn245, something else, wtf, can't remember though, bah. BUT ON THE PLUS SIDEL: I was epically happoy to see you bacxk online, truly. Look forward to you playing game swith us. GOW2 is beyond a azinbg.
Roostophe Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 His old gamertag was BAUER888. It's good that he admits that was a shit gamertag.
Kirkatronics Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Is there anywhere other than the official site i can get 500 ms points?
Cube Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 This is annoying. Xbox.com isn't loading and I can't view the marketplace fully on the Xbox.
S.C.G Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 This is annoying. Xbox.com isn't loading and I can't view the marketplace fully on the Xbox. A friend of mine had the same problem last night, seems Live is being shitty atm, it's probably why they have maint scheduled soon tbf, hopefully it'll be running a bit smoother again after they've fixed it.

Apparently it's people on Sky Broadband that have the problems.
Bren Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 yeh i can vouch for that, my market place is shite to load, takes so long to show "All Downloads" when i click on a game... shitty sky
