Other than that you should be fine.
I got dead rising with it and after about 2 weeks I was bored.
I spent like 6 hours unlocking the buster cannon to make the game last longer just so I could use it for maybe another 10 hours of playing.
I want to play bioshock and oblivion, but I just can't afford to pay for games.
I got a job last summer just so I could buy a wii, because I thought brawl was coming out dec 1st and it is just sitting there and now my 360 is suffering the same fate.
by the time all the really fun games are going to be in the 5$ or 9.99$ bin, the xbox omega or some crap is going to be out.
*sigh* I hate my life.
I don't see how you guys are able to afford so many games.
Jobs.
The irony here is that as many of us are older with better jobs and more money to buy games, our free time to actually play these games often suffers from an inverse relationship.
Hence, I can afford most of the new games I want, but I've got a wife and a business, and not as much time to play as you likely do.
Someone once said something about youth being wasted on the young. I'm sure he wasn't talking about video games, but he could have been.
What is gamefly?
Also, I don't know if you are quoting Jude or Anberlin, but I love you either way.
This. I ,within reason, can buy pretty much whatever I want game wise these days. However due to my severe lack of time my backlogue is something along the lines of completely stupid at this point. So despite really wanting to grab burnout this week I decided to pass for now because by the time I would have the time to play it, it will probably be a hell of a lot cheaper.
Still even if I was a student I would have at least a part time job to pay for some games. Shit when I was 13, lol 18 years ago, I had 3 paper routes to pay for games because my parents wouldn't buy them for me even on holidays. The good news is there are a lot of really great cheap games on the 360 now.
www.gamefly.com it's like Neflix but for video games. You add games to your queue and you keep them as long as you want. When you're done, you put it back in the sleeve they send it to you in... And they ship your next one as soon as they get it. It's either $15 a month (for one game out at a time) or $22 a month for two.
You can also keep the game if you want for a cheap price (I have Blue Dragon in from them, and if I choose to keep it they will charge me $35). If you choose to keep it, they ship you the original case and instruction booklet.
Welcome to life. Anyway, I've got to run now, work is done, then I'm off to see the girlfriend tonight
You call yourself a gamer. You bring shame on our order.
go have sex with your hot girlfriend and go take your kids to football. But never come back you hear. Never!
Or you can buy an old router and flash the firmware, and use that to pickup wireless and then plug that into your xbox.
I dont know any details on the latte,r just that it's possible for some routers
What made you decide to get a 360 and not a PS3? I assume it's the game selection, but I'm curious so I thought I'd ask.
Ebay.
Yeah it's more the selection right now, and I really like the concept of Achievements. It also seems like, right now at least, the online is integrated much better with the 360 (I'm really missing the online play when using a Wii).
Achievements are bloody awesome and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
The amount of great games I might not finish or play fully due to time restrictions in my life frankly frightens me, and achievements are a great way of keeping tabs on what you might have missed / left incomplete.
Plus, some of them are funny / creative / entertaining in themselves.
And sometimes, however much beating a particular section, playing well, or performing a difficult task is rewarding in itself, hearing that little "ba-dink", and seeing "Achievement Unlocked!" pop up on the screen can really add something to that fist-pumping sense of accomplishment.
I picked up Dead Rising cause everyone says its amazing but I found out quickly I absolutely hate the game with a passion. I can kill 10 zombies with a Katana then its broke, and the game is on a timer so I can't roll around doin' stuff. Oh and the Humvee in the court yard is a nice touch.
I think I'll pick up Crackdown and OverLord today.
Crackdown is awesome and Overlord is good but not worth a purchase if you ask me. Definate renter or maybe even purchase if you can find it cheap or used.
Also CoD4 is awesome as is PGR4 if you're into racing games.
I got CoD4, beat and layed down the law online but it gets boring playing the same levels over. I picked up PGR4 but I found out quickly I hate the fact that you can never get used to a car because you're always being forced into a new car over and over, so it was a waste of money for me.
Dead Rising requires a different mindset than most games to have fun with. Your first time playing the game you should ignore the story completely and just mess around, explore the mall, and have fun. After you've done that a while, start over with all of your XP and knowledge carrying over and thrash the story mode without all that frustration.
Also, defeating the psychopath in the rollercoaster area is highly recommended. Not only does it give you a powerful weapon (mini-chainsaws), but it unlocks a secret passage that allows you to skip using the courtyard ever again.

It was mentioned before but I'll be clear for you. You need to buy the add-on from MS or use a wireless bridge. You can buy a wireless bridge, the xbox1 wireless adapter is your best bet. Or you make one using DD-WRT firmware and a cheap router.
Or you can spend like $8 on a hundred feet of Cat-5e.
Best luck!
Loving Mass Effect, don't miss it, the only (weird) thing is that the load times are not bad as I thought for what everyone was saying, perhaps I'm too early on the game, or I got used to Witcher loading times hehe (more likely) and the inventory is not that bad.
Ok thanks for the help.
I still need to get Mass Effect, after I beat Bioshock of course.
You do NOT need a PC in any way to transfer from a 20gb HDD to a 120gb HDD using the MS transfer cable. It's all done on the console.
Also, remember that it's a one-time, one-way process.
> turn on light
Good start to the day. Pity it's going to be the worst one of your life. The light is now on.
Amazon also has them available but without the games, but it looks like theirs are definitely the Falcon chipset.
No, not necessarily. As far as I know, the easiest way to check is by looking at a sticker on the box which will either say 175w or 203w. If it says 175w, it's a Falcon, though I have seen some people say this doesn't guarantee it's a Falcon, while others have said it does so I dunno... Anyways, I recently just bought a 360 and made sure I waited until I found a 175w box before purchasing one just to be safe.
So I guess it's kind of rolling the dice to buy one online? No stores around here have any, apparently Microsoft is being slow on the shipments right now. Are some of the bundles going to be Falcons at least? I'd like to get a couple games for free if possible.
I got a holiday bundle that was non-Falcon. (It was Black Friday; I didn't exactly have time to examine the box and demand one with a specific mfg date and lot number). Any that have the HDMI port will at least have the improved heatsinks, though, which (supposedly) solve the major problem, so you don't really need to kill yourself looking for a Falcon unless you really need to save those few dollars a year on your electric bill or something.
Couldn't they have muffled that bad boy? Bioshock makes it sound like aircraft are landing in my living room.
But fuck, I expected it to get hot, but not almost too hot to touch over where the HSF is.
I hope it doesnt go red ring of death. I am afraid if it does and i send it away Microsoft will send me some off the shelf white 360 back instead of my halo version.
I called to check on this for a customer during the holidays and the rep said that anyone who sent in a Halo version would get a Halo version in return.
