I also have another wireless joypad reserved too :jump [/quote'] That should give you 2 wireless controllers. I'm jealous for 2 reasons: 1) I don't have the time at the moment to play too many games. 2) I don't have the spare cash to get one. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyndorf Posted November 27, 2005 Author Share Posted November 27, 2005 2) I don't have the spare cash to get one. Neither do I :lol But, needs must and the council tax and food will just have to wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Game.net sent me a confirmation email this past friday telling me my XBOX360 has been picked and packed and is ready for dispatch for delivery by December 2nd, I can't wait. I got the Premium one along with Perfect Dark Zero, King Kong, Condemed, Project Gotham Racing & Kameo. Also ordered 2 Extra Wireless controllers with plug and play kits for both of them for when they need charging. Going to cost a small fortune, but it should be worth it!

Al Stevens Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Im heartbroken that i wont be able to get one of these untill probally next year (money problems mostly). However i will be getting on of these bad boys the second i can. Also a question with the DVD fuction do you still need to go out and by a Remote kit?

Andrew Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Not this time around no, but it will be easier to use. I know that the remote comes free with the initial batches of premium packs, but they won't be included in later batches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popsi Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 i reall want to buy one of the new gen consoles but is the 360 the best? I mean of the others that are coming out do they compare well to all of the stuff of the 360 (which i have to say looks amazing), or is the 360 the best of them?

Drake Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Well I didn't preorder the 360 cause im saving my money for my beloved PS3:wub It should be fun after they come out and see what console got the most sales and what console do the people think it's better.

big pau hoolinator Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I ain't gettin' the 36 'till I got my Revo which I have 130 quid saved towards..but will be bout 280 soon 'cause I'm not going on holiday this year stayin' home with my dad which gets me 100 then gonna sell some games to get the rest... When I do get the 360 I might actually get the core version even though it seems fairly poor I don't need the fancy stuff I just wanna play games on it...

Al Stevens Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I think when the PS3 comes out i will do the right thing and buy that. Because lets face it limiting yourself to one platform is just down right stupid imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 360 is out NOW, the PS3 probably won't be out for at least another year, and the Revolution for about 6 months. So, if you get a 360 now, you can save up for the Revolution and then the PS3 as there's a 6 month gap between each. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popsi Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 what sort of games are out for the 360? as in ones that have been around for previous consoles that i may have heard of? Ill only buy one if i get one, im not keen on having more than 1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Anyone know where you can get one, before Christmas? All the shops round here stopped letting you pre-order months ago. Can you get one, if you get the dearer package? (I heard that somewhere, but don't know if it's true or not). Ta for any help :) what sort of games are out for the 360? as in ones that have been around for previous consoles that i may have heard of?One game I played that looks incredible, is Call Of Duty 2. I don't know how other people rate it, but I thought it was fantastic. Brilliant graphics, and great gameplay. Need For Speed (Not sure which), looks good as well.

Andrew Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 It's going to be hard to find one now Jack, the console pretty much seems sold out already. If you seriously want one though I'd suggest going to your local Woolworths and WHSmiths as these two seem to only have started to take pre-orders. Other than that I'd say it's going to be really hard to get hold of one before 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFill Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Anyone know where you can get one' date=' before Christmas?[/quote'] You might try eBay, but you'll be paying over the odds as LOADS of people will want them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christof Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Maybe go through amazon or online with game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popsi Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 You can indeed advance order it from amazon, 279.99 for the one with all the fancy stuff. But you wont get it this year, see below: Platform: Xbox 360 This item will be released on December 2, 2005. You may order it now and we will dispatch it to you when we receive it from our supplier. Please note that release dates are subject to change. Due to limited supply from Microsoft, we are unable to guarantee delivery of some Xbox 360 pre-orders for Christmas. Please also note that all pre-orders made on or after November 2nd, 2005 will have expected delivery dates in 2006. We are working with Microsoft to ensure the consoles are delivered as soon as they become available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anime Otaku Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 meh, Microsoft are evil anyway I'm getting a PS3 when it is available on preorder and maybe a revolution too :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Still doesnt mean the 360 will be crap. 360 is gonna rock.....HALO 3 will be the reason for buying thr 360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 See I respect people liking Halo, but I really dislike it. I really don't know why all the people are so high on Halo, I played it and it wasn't anything that made my jaw dropped. People were like,''OMG This is the best game ever'' well it isn't to me. I consider any GTA series far better than Halo IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Halo really shines when you take it on XBOX Live, it really improves the game when you're killing people from around the world. So much more fun. XBOX Live is for me the major selling point of the console and it will be for the 360 as well. Christof mentioned trying to use Game.net for XBOX 360 pre-orders, bad idea at the moment, at the moment they've only got enough stock to clear orders placed up to midday August 18th....they put it on sale August 17th. Madness but that's the way it is at the moment. If people seriously want one before Christmas you're going to have to go hunting for them, Tesco, Asda, Whsmiths are places where you won't expect to find them but some stores are getting them. Just a heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've played many PC games online and even singleplayer and playing them on both I've enjoyed them. Like I said before I still don't get all the fuzz about Halo being a great game but I guess we all have different tastes.:thumbsup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
