LTTP: Xbox 360 Pro

Post by Texas »

I saw a GAME ad yesterday: trade in your PS2 and 10 PS2 games and get a 360 Pro for $150.
Turned to Mrs Tex (NB: she is living in Melbourne for work ATM, we just had a week off together) and said "That's a good deal, I never use my PS2 now and I have enough old games that I will never play again realistically to make that work..."
"Yep... and I could play Mass Effect finally..." she replied.

So I went through my games, sorted out what PS2 and Xbox stuff I really wanted to keep, and packed the rest up. Put the missus on the plane to Melbourne this morning, got the stuff together and went over to GAME. Turns out my old assistant manager from my EB days is running the store! HE looked after me, and I came home with a Pro, XBL, Play and Charge, R* Table Tennis and PGR4 after spending under 200 bucks! Stoked!

Ok, bitches, what else do I need to get???

Friends!

Hunt around on XBLA too... you'll more than likely find enough games on there to keep you going until you decide to splash out on something retail. Like Rez, Lumines or Pac-man CE.

Oh, and Crackdown... seriously, it's fucking awesome. Like a fun version of GTA4.

Tex: If you're not into RPGs, don't get Oblivion. I made the mistake of nabbing it on the basis that everyone loved it, and I was bored shitless.

And Elf's list should be immediately discounted for not having Crackdown. It really is fucking sensational, and can be picked up for around $25 now, too.

Yeah, I acknowledge Crackdown, but I don't pimp games I haven't played extensively. I understand Crackdown is particularly superb in co-op.
Tex, co-op runs through Halo3, Gears of War, and Crackdown are probably mandatory if you can find partners interested enough to play through with you.
You should push Pat into buying a 360. :D

Thanks for the lists, Twiz.
I don't like RPG's as a rule so they are all out (the missus will get Mass Effect.) As is GH - have it on PS3. Already got a Cat Hat Halo 3, GoW...played it a bit and really disliked it, but I did like the look of Crackdown so will pick that up.
JB have some unopened preowned Forza2/Viva double packs cheeps, so I reckon that will be a pickup at some stage. Same for TDU.
NHL - will get 09, that goes for FIFA and Tiger as well. (IT'S ON LADS!)
Ninja Gaiden 2 will have to wait til my birthday in October - the missus already had her eyes on that if I got a 360.
I will play Crackwhore co-op with Shaneus, and I am sure that someone will play Halo3 with me once I have finished it solo.

Accept your friend invite you no points cunt.

5 points qualifies you as a no points cunt in my book because I value the gamerpoints system so highly.
