Bren Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 i downloaded that last night, will have to DL it again in a few days to make sure im in that comp.
skarmachild Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 Woo, I played the 360 lots today in Virgin. I played Hexic HD (I think that's its name) - AWESOME. Kameo loads - Moderately Good and King Kong woulden't work. Oh well, I want the 360 but I'm skimp, so I'm entering compos everywhere to win one.
cubeboy101 Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 one ugly console its the birth child of xbox for sure dam big dam ugly and that controller is as obselete as a cavemans tool set bring on the revolution bring on the 3d free hand controller bring on the free toi play wifi online set up pay for oplay go suck bill gates
Guest Jordan Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 ...What the crap man? the 360 is a damn sight nicer looking than the original. The joypad is the best "conventional" joypad ever made and no one is forcing you to buy XBOX Live, but it is the best thing about the 360. Stop being a stupid fanboy and accept other people like other things. Jeeze. EDIT: I love the look of them both actually...
The3rdChildren Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 Fascinating discovery. When I copied his post into Google images and searched, it returned this curious result.

He is defo a fan boy his name is "CUBEBOY"
CVD Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 Cheers for the info, Jord, but Feburary 6 is tomorrow and not Wednesday. Seems Xbox.com have fucked up.
Guest Jordan Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 Cheers for the info, Jord, but Feburary 6 is tomorrow and not Wednesday. Seems Xbox.com have fucked up. Indeed, exactly what i thought Colin.
Arragaun Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 So, does anybody know of any lists of backwards compatable games that have been compiled? When I get a 360 I won't be buying any of the fifty quid games soon after. So yeah, Xbox games that'll go on the 360 anyone?
Matt Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Don't bother, there's only the two Halo games that actually run well. The others all have a lot of slowdown and stuff.
Guest Jordan Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm Google is your friend, my liege. EDIT: Matt is right though. Some of the high profile games and later games aren't supported yet. But a few more are coming on this month and more into March. I PRAY and the Renderware engine is succesfully ported. Daddy needs Burnout Revenge (version 1!) and BLACK for his 360
Arragaun Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Loyal Jordan, I shalt never again misuse these forums when I can just ask you to tell me to check Google.
Bowser57 Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 that controller is as obselete as a cavemans tool Like an axe you mean?
Fierce_LiNk Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Like an axe you mean? Hehe. Just humour the guy for now, people. He's well on his way to a banning anyway.
Chuck Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 either (by the photo) he has just been stabbed in the back with a knife, goes to a speicalist school, or has been playing to much DOA4 lol
rokhed00 Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Found this on another forum. I orginally posted this at xbox.com, but it was deleted. Enjoy. Talked to my old college roomate. I haven't talked to him in 7 years until he got my number from a mutal friend and gave me a call to invite me to his wedding. Turns out he has been working at MS for the last 3 years in (and here's the kicker) the gaming division. Of course the first thing I asked is, What can you get me for free? Well he said he'd work on that, but thats not the great news. He told me some intresting stuff. Only thing he said was you didn't hear this from me. So to me thats a difference between don't say anything and don't use his name. Anyway hear is what I was told. 1. Sometime around november 2006, MS is launching a complete media service on the marketplace. This will range from 99 cent songs, to 3.99 streaming movies. (just said the prices, you do your own math to convert them to points). 2. AT next E3, MS will announce a parternship with Blizzard that will bring World of Warcraft exclusively to 360. The deal is done, and Blizzard is working on porting the game and a console controll scheme. This game will also include a unannounced expansion that the PC gamers will have to wait about a month to get after we get this game. The other news, I don't know if this is good or Bad to you guys, but only 360 gamers will be on specific 360 servers, he said this was because the game will include voice chat, and it wouldn't work with PC gamers, unfair advantage yada yada.... 3. Wasn't sure on a exact date, but said Halo 3 will be out before X'mas 2006. Exact words were Quarter 4 of 2006. And the best for last at least to me. There will be over 50 Sega dremcast games on the xbox live arcade within 2 years. Launched a handfull at a time, he said the first game will be Bonks adverture, which should be out in September 2006. Every dreamcast game released on 360 will be priced at around 10 dollars. or however many points that is. Now believe me, don't believe me, I don't really care. I thought it would be nice to let you guys know what I had heard. I'm pretty active on these boards and I have never came up with any **** eyed conspiracy insider information threads before. Fact is I wouldn't do anyting like this unless what I was told was true and from a person I trust. So before you flame me with the usual smart a** posts of I heard from my cousins, sisters, brothers, boyfriend that........ All I ask is that you get on your knees and beg forgiveness when this is confirmed later. Or at least say sorry. Don't know if there's any truth in it, but it'd be nice if there was.
Stocka Posted February 7, 2006 Author Posted February 7, 2006 I was believing that until I got to the Dreamcast part.
Matt Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Yeh, I can't see the DC thing happening. They'd have to convert them all into 720p, and then they'd be MASSIVE downloads. Bollocks.
Chuck Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 and the 360 extends to new limits if its all true... leaving ps3 and revolution at the bottom :wink:
CVD Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 WoW on the 360 would be immense, while the streaming movies would also get custom from me. Dreamcast stuff does sound strange and out of place, but it would be a welcome addition to the marketplace. Another note: Crystal Quest is out now on the Xbox Live arcade. Going by the demo, it's a bit shit and no multiplayer modes are included.
Bren Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Ok, as it is a rumour, the WOW on the 360, wot do you think the probability (sp?) of it coming on the 360 really is? I think that it will, well at least one of the nxt gen consoles, as theyres a lot of money to be made of it. But , i wudnt really wanna spend 9 quid a month subscription after spending 50 quid on the game.
