Not quite sure you could use the words you learned in Larry in your English exam, Sabre!  :D

Anyone got a 360 yet? I wasn't gonna get one cos I get married in April but I played on my mates last Tuesday and it was that good I bought one on Friday :D

I have to say it's an awesome machine, it's not just an Xbox improved it's a whole new layout, the new interface is fantastic and some of the kool things you can do are:

1.  Turn the console on by the controller
2.  Download actual game demos (on average 600mb a game)
3.  Rip CD-R audio CD's on the HDD
4.  Play MP3 CD's (but not rip them)
5.  Theirs an Xbox button in the middle of the controller which once pressed paused your game and allows you to manage songs, send invites, etc.
6.  etc, etc, etc, etc.

I've got PGR3 and Perfect Dark Zero and both are a must for any gamer!!!! :cool:

Obviously my girlfriend (I hate the word Fiance) loves me having my new 360  :D

JBG , not sure if you saw this .

I have to share this latest offering fom Kunts Corner on the Holy Moly site.

"World of Warcraft For giving my mildly geeky friends and siblings a brand new medium of wasting their lives and turning into f'ucking vegetables. Also, my geeky vegetable friend met an online girlfriend from Germany on World of Warcraft. If he gets repeatedly bummed over and over again in a paedophiles dungeon in Eastern Munich by a hairy lederhosen wearing nonce with 3 stomachs, I will personally track down the Devil s'punk that spawned WoW and p'iss on them.

P.S. To all the c'unts who think wearing T Shirts proclaiming that 'Rogues do it from behind' is funny, your chances of successfully communicating with anyone of the opposite sex are now smaller than the Crazy Frog's pixellated schlong."

:laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:

I haven't really got the time of money for Call of Duty yet but I'll deffo have a look at it soon.

I can't believe that Blockbuster isn't hiring 360 games out yet!!  :no

I haven't got a HDTV yet but will do in 12-18 months, I've just got a 32" Widescreen Toshiba which does the job for the time being.

Paul, as soon as you have the cash, egt Call of Duty 2. Fantastic game.

Others to look out for are Oblivion and Gears of War, both of whohc will be coming out in the next few months. I posted pics of Gears of War earlier in this thread.

To get the most out of your 360 you need a high defintion tv. Games will look at least 3 times better with one.

You really need to play Call of Duty 2 with a headset with surround sound on though to really get the full effect of it, great game, most cinematic combat you will see in a game for a long time. In fact get F.E.A.R. as well and play it with a headset and the lights off..

But back on topic, the multiplayer of COD2 is amazing too give it a blast, public servers get boring after a while though until you manage to get to play official matches which are all about the tactics and make things interesting.

But unfortunately you need a good pc for these games, the x-box360 still doesn't beat a really good pc and no console ever will  :p

Buy football manager 2006, a good 2D match engine, new commentry, half time and full time team talks, you can discuss your own contract with the board (just signed a new 5-year liverpool deal btw  :;):  ) Training is better. You get a media report of every match you play. You can look at ref's profiles and see how many yellows he's given out etc. It also tells you your players preferred moves and natural positions.

FM 2006 is the best around. Plus you can go to www.cmfrenzy.com and update it, get new graphics and pictures to go with all players.

Cheers Adam , I'll take a look .

I play Call of Duty 2 with a 5.1 surround sound set up, although the explosions make my house shake!  :p

The distant rattle of gun and mortar fire in the Stalingrad levels are superb.

Paul, check out The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion when it comes out for the 360 in March (its also out then for the PC).

Its a role playing game but the early hype has it as the best of the early releases on the 360.

Yeah i was really looking forward to oblivion.
it was originally penned in as a launch title for the xbox 360, but got put back to march.

was one of the reasons why i got the xbox 360 so early as well!
guess i'll just have to be patient and wait till march.

Anyone know if call of duty 2 is worth getting on the xbox 360?
