Yay, I'm finally gunna get myself a 360 this weekend....Im getting:

360 Premium (Fully Boxed)
2 Wireless controllers
5 Games (CoD3, Dead Rising, Lost Planet and 2 others)

All for £200!

Unfortunatly due to the recent bannings on xbox live im not to sure wether to flash it/chip it and hope for the best or play it just offline.

I've got a 360 with 8 games on the way.

Looking forward to Gears of War, C&C, Ghost Recon 2, Rainbow6 and Crack Down in HiDef on my spanking new widescreen monitor

I am officially next-gen!

How do you connect it to the monitor? I was planning to buy a pstwo, but the xbox360 is looking good, especially all the feedback it has received on this forum

You need an Xbox 360 HD VGA AV Cable

For anyone in the UK... Boots have a great deal on the Xbox 360 at the moment. Xbox360 Premium pack with 2 controllers, PGR3 and Live Arcade for only £249. AND it's triple points currently so you get £34.99 worth of boots points. Go via quidco for another £9.75 and this deal works out around £205 (link).

Alternatively... Amazon.co.uk are doing the same bundle (Premium 360, PGR3, live arcade, 2 controllers) along with Crack Down and Gears of War for £269.99 (which is £20 cheaper than the same deal from play.com). Oh and add another £30 and they will throw in an extra game of your choice. (link).

Even with the recent bannings it looks like a great time to buy an xbox 360 at the moment!

Fuck that Amazon deal is good.

Premium 360, extra official wireless controller, GOW, Crackdown, PGR3, Arcade thingy all for £270...?

Damn I'm tempted but I really shouldn't.

[qusai]

Grats dude

I'm going to futureshop in a couple of hours to get mine

not getting a sweet deal like you but whatever.

Still debating whether or not I should mod it. I doubt I'll use xbox live so I'm not really sure..

The ps2 version is MUCH better, so unless you don't have the console, I'd suggest you don't.

 

[Costello]

yes, the 360 version is terrible

I played PES on PC, PS2, XBOX, and 360, and... all versions rock EXCEPT the 360 one...
I can't explain why, but it really does suck.
The gameplay is somehow different, some features are lacking, and the online mode is just a POS (it just never works for me, I've only been able to play 1 game -total)

360 ?! Ewwww! We will buy Wii nor PS3 but never for microsoft stuff! Microsoft is evil.

I hate Sony, but I still bought a PSP. You know, being biased against some company sucks, you'll miss out on big things. Hell, I bought Wii and am disappointed, though I love Nintendo. And I'm buying myself XBOX360 in autumn (that's fall for you Yanks).

 

[jaxxster]

Ive got a wii and i can say truthfully it is terrible. Ok its got a few classics but no decent graphics whereas the 360s got loadsa gr8 games, xbox live, xbl arc ade, listen to tune whilst u play, free game demos.

I hate microsoft as much as the next guy but the 360 is a great console. I have a wii and a 360 and I think I have spent more time playing XBLA than my wii

I've noticed a trend of uk people wanting to buy a 360 (including myself

) Do you think they're brainwashing us or something?

 

[jimmy j]

Nah! Everyone knows the 360 is a quality machine. It's cheap, powerful, got loads of good games and I must... kill... sony...

Using XP, just network them together

360 is great, just make sure u go to a store that does extended warranty
Paying extra 20-30bucks for 3years, is worth it since 360's die alot
