Gio001 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I'm thinking of getting an Xbox 360 elite next year for myself, mainly for Resi 5 and xbox exclusives Halo, PGR etc. I'm in no rush to get one as at the moment there's lots of games on the wii to keep me busy such as mp3, galaxy, umbrella chronicles. I would appreciate some advice as i'm thinking of getting an xbox arcade for xmas for the kids bedroom and i would like to know if the arcade games that come with it are either on the memory card, are downloaded to memory card as theres no hard drive or do you have to be online to play them as you only get 1 months free subscription to xbox live ? And has it got slower load times due to it not having a hard drive ? Thanks in anticipation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Xbox Live Arcade's arcade games come on a CD and are non transferable. The memory card is capable of storing quite a few games (its 256mb) as well as game saves etc. The HDD on the 360 is rarely ever used by games, so no it will not effect loading times. Regarding XBOX Live: You do get 1 month free Gold. Once this runs out you can either: 1, continue to pay for XBL Gold 2, Go on XBOX Live Silver. This gives you all the same features as gold, just no online play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Played Halo 3 campaign and online today. It's quite good, but far from the best first person game this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Played Halo 3 campaign and online today. It's quite good, but far from the best first person game this year.

AshMat Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hah, jsut got a big relief. I had to set my 360 to connect to live through the router i'm using (because the BT Modem from before isn't compat with Vista), so i'm worreied thinking "shit this is gonna take the piss". I plugged it in, set IP to automatic, and it worked straight away. Better than using that ICS bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshMat Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 It's not the homehub no, old USB Modem. EDIT: While i was at it, i set up file sharing to my 360, because it doesn't work through ICS, but works now i'm all wired up to a router. Damn this router's been helpful.
