[general tbag]

thast true only the gamecube ha had a decent luanch set. ...well to bhe honest when you have smash bros which i still havent worth it a cubes worth that alone, cant wait for snake vs link in brawl. ive preordered a wii (notice since miyamotos awe inspiring e3 show no one laughs anymore?, now that guy commands respect, hes the romero of games isnt he?). cant wait for my 360, couldnt give two ****s about any of the games out right now, im waiting for dead rising, tony hawks project 8 (wether i want to or not, its a jackass fans addicition) ,resistance fall of man, bioshock (so glad thats coming onto 360 too!), and finally the awe inspiring steven king-em up alan wake im looking forward to wake so much i registered on the froums long ago, were the remedy staff also drop the rare egg of knowledge on max payne 3 rumors..... i could never get into any of the smash bros games, i think my addiction to sf2 and mk2 in the arcades warped me for any other fighting games. btw i bought my gc souly for rogue squadron 2. what an awesome game for the time. still i s.

If you have Broadband, you can use Xbox Live, basically. The silver level is free for Live, and you can do everyting except play games online(download demos, videos, message friends, etc). Gold is $50 a year, and well worth it. I think if you buy a 360 you get a 3 month trial membership to Gold.

As I already had an Xbox Live membership when I purchased my 360 I'm not sure of the length of the trial Gold Membership (I thought it was 30 days) but either way you do get a free trial. The Gold membership is well worth the $50.00 per year & I would highly recommened that you get it when you can hellsing . Let the people here know & we can add you to our friends lists on Live .

i dont think the add on will really make a difference. after all no system with a add on to the system has ever suceeded. and other than movies it wont be a requirement till a few gens away . like i said the 360 is just rehashing the older gen games, bf2 included. I'll need to back search, but i think the Sega Cd kicked ass as an addone to the original console. so there is a whopping 1. my point more so is with the DVD format "war" (pssshh) heating up. i think microsofts big kick this year will be selling 360's to those that don't have them. and selling the HD DVD units to those that already do. the drive is suposed to go fo $80-100, so 1 drive and 4-5 HD DVDs running at 25-30 a pop would be a decent Xmas gift this year. If any, I have a feeling that Microsoft will come out with a much larger HDD. I know that one of the buzzwords in the recent E3 was downloading games directly from the publishers a la Valve's Steam. With the constant updating and additional features being put into XBLive, I see it as a strong possibility that a Live-user can have games available for downloading straight to his HDD. i was thinking about this as well. with the new upgrades to the XBL marketplace, it's tactic would tend to fit very well. from waht i gather, Microsoft is trying to make the idea of game demos, which is common for PC games, more previlant for 360 games. which would make sense, at $60 a game, i'd like to try it a little before ordering it The Gold membership is well worth the $50.00 per year & I would highly recommened that you get it when you can hellsing .

Yes, if you already have an Xbox Live account it transfers over to the 360. Once you get your 360 & hook it up for Live all you need do is go through the "Recover Gamer Tag" option & you are good to go. That's just what I did when I got my 360 in December after just renewing my Xbox Live account in November. It was a completly painless & simple process .

paying for xbox live is worth every cent. dont even bother with the silver.

but yeah i cant wait till i can get it here cus its well worth the creds o pay for it, oh and i signed up to the underground section, that way i can use swear words like 'bugger' ,'bollox' and 'ruddy' No need to worry about those words. I've heard FAR worse on Live . Generally it's great but you have times where the foulmouthed racist crew gets into a game & make it interesting. Plus, if you are playing against American's most won't know what the bloody hell "bugger", "bollox" & "ruddy" mean .

[Danny]

i actually heard in a games magazine "now all the teenage americans have left the halo multiplayer alone on live we can play it free of being called a 'douchebag' or racist comments, huzzah!" HELLLLLLLLSSSSS YYYEEEAAAAAH!. my family came into some cash today and im getting my 360 tomorrow, 2 months early, ....well technically 6 monthss too late but i dont care, next bring on my dead rising and wii, i hope theyve got oblivion in.
