Holy shit guys, I might be getting a 360!

Woo-hoo! Finally, after SO MUCH TIME of wishing I had a 360, I might just be getting one! Although I will be trading my Wii for it, I don't really mind since I always wanted a 360 so much more. IM SO EXCITED! This is the perfect Christmas present for me!

I'm gonna make a list of the games I want to play:

GTA IV
Bio Shock
The Orange Box
Gears 1 and 2
COD 4
COD 5
Elder Scrolls IV
Halo 3
Fallout 3
Mass Effect
Braid
Geometry Wars: RE2
Portal
Dead Space
Left 4 Dead
Soul Calibur IV
Dead Rising
F.E.A.R.
Silent Hill 5
Civ
Prince of Persia
Viva Pinata
Castle Crashers
Megaman 9
C&C 3
Assassin's Creed

And that's only a couple of them @_@ Are there any other games you guys recommend I try? Also, how do I get games such as SFIITHDR and Geometry Wars? Is it kind of like buying WiiWare games?

Umm you buy those Geometry Wars and that other game in the Xbox Live marketplace. Xbox Live Arcade i think? You have to buy them using microsoft points though, and they only sell them in set number of points, forcing you to buy 20 dollars worth of points when you only need like 100 more points to buy something you want.
 
Nice nice. I do hope you get it. And your list is pretty much what i would recommend. :)

I see what you mean..there are some games that I forgot to put on my list..(Dynasty Warriors Gundam, The Last Remnant, Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe etc. I didn't even bother putting RE5 or FFXIII because I don't know when those games will come out, for all I know they will come out next Christmas lol..

<3 agreed 100%. I used to stand by the Wii all the way, but after a year or so of game releases, I've moved on to stand by the 360. Now I finally understand what people mean when they say that the Wii is aimed at casual gamers and such.
 
You going for Command and Conquer 3? Is the control good with 360 controller?

Well, at any rate, congrats! Wii's full of motions, leave that task to gym equipment I say! 360's actions are so much better!

But, I dunno, I don't really like FPS with consoles, the control is a bit awkward and doesn't really listen to me, leave them to PC I say, better het your hands on something better :)
 
If you have friends to play with, or at least online friends to, Left 4 Dead is a blast. I can't get enough of it.

Isn't Portal in the Orange Box? :unsure:
 
TALES OF VESPERIA TALES OF VESPERIA TALES OF VESPERIA TALES OF VESPERIA TALES OF VESPERIA

how do I get games such as SFIITHDR and Geometry Wars? Is it kind of like buying WiiWare games?
yeah
you buy some Microsoft points. Redeem 'em. Buy
but you need an Xbox live account (you want the gold one, trust me)
 
Go for it! :creep: I'm also recommend Viva Pinata 2 and as you want RE5, I recommend you to try out the Resident Evil 5 Demo! :)
 
Yes, Portal is in TOB. I actually meant Portal: Still Alive! Sorry!

So where do I buy Microsoft Points? EB Games and such? How do you redeem them? And how much do those games usually cost? Cause I want a LOT of arcade games.... too bad it doesn't work like the Wii where you can download WiiWare/VC through wads if your Wii is hacked :\

Can't answer your first 2 questions since i don't live in the USA :P
but for the others, arcade gsmes usually cost from 500 to 800 microsoft points and SOME of them cost 1200 (Braid, SF2T HD Remix)
EDIT: forgot about the redeeming question
it's easy! just go to the game you wanna purchase and then you'll find the redeeming option (you can also redeem from xbox.com)

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.
    +1
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty didn't you see the new garfield?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ah it's all animated I was hoping for some live action

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, yes i did
