TiE23 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 You could get a core and a used hard drive for cheaper than a Pro system. Yes Arcade 360 $280 + Refurbished HDD $60 = $340 + 256mb Memory Card + 5 Arcade games +$10 and you get a Headset, Component Cables, Ethernet cable, Snazzy Chrome disc drive, 2 Free full games Seems to be more work than it's worth. The memory card will be pretty much useless after he gets the HDD. Elitist, much? Yes, we must exterminate all non-premium consoles from the land! The premium is the one great race console! : P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoxStar Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 It doesn't come with a memory card. If someone didn't have an HDTV and didn't care about a headset, it's a reasonable choice. EDIT: Back in my day, alls we got with our pro system was a lousy console! So maybe it doesn't make much sense anymore with the free games. But still, it's like it's a stupid decision.

TiE23 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Problem is that I'm one of those people who will kick anyone who doesn't have a microphone in Rock Band quick bands. I mean, they're is nothing worse than getting 98% and having no one to celebrate with. "Hey guys, what songs? ... Anything? ... Alright, I'll just choose Train Kept a Rollin, hope you like that, drummer guy." And ehh, I never thought I'd get an HDTV, but I did. I remember once contemplating cutting off the component piece so I couldn't have to tie it in a knot to keep it tidy. And yeah, I gots nothings but a lousy console, too. Don't go pulling that. :V *But it's general consensus, it's a faux pas to buy a HD-less 360.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 That's me and friends celebrating me hitting level 70 in WoW. We all bought tons and tons of booze and got items that turned us into either ninjas or pirates, and after dancing around in the middle of the main horde town Orgrimmar, we went to the throneroom of the leader of the Horde, thrall, and partied there. Good times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pho3nix Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 You forgot the extra 'm' on Orgrimmar. Anyway, grats, I'll be dinging 70 with my alt soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Nice Bob, congrats! I should have mine at 70 within a couple weeks if I can keep up this pace, I'm 61 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiE23 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I got this: Used for $25 Fun game so far. It plays like an isometric 3D version of Soldat. Lot of fun, great graphics for a hand held, even has freaking ragdoll and damage physics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Oh God please tell me you didn't actually get the core edition. Oh please God have mercy on this one's soul for not waiting a little longer to get enough money for the hard drive which would make his experience so much more rewarding. So goodbye to DLC, TV, trailers, XBL Arcade, Demos, and everything else that's cool. Yeah I decided I didn't really want all that stuff. ._.

I am however currently playing Killzone, the PS2 version on my PS3. Pretty intense so far!

I like it so far. It's a little frustrating in some parts, and it'd be real nice to have two weapons instead of just one. But the graphics and detail are pretty amazing for a handheld game, it's like a hack and slash with guns. I played Killzone a little bit on my own PS2... I really didn't like it. It had cool ideas and stuff, but it just felt really dry and generic, and the muddy textures, cruddy controls, and frame rate really killed it for me. Also, after waiting two weeks for it to deliver just a few hundred miles, LocoRoco finally arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 Loco Roco is the **** though! I got that one free from Sony about two years ago, and I love it. Try playing that one, and NOT turning your PSP when they roll from one side to the other. It will make you laugh your ass off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiE23 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I've been playing way too much Assassin's Creed - I'm on my way to getting 1000/1000 achievement points. I've collected every flag (all 320) and killed every one of the 60 Templars. I basically had this game at 100%, but I had to start replaying the entire game so I can get "The Conversationalist" achievement. I basically got a snow day. I have my biggest paycheck ever at $161.46 in a week. And err... I succumbed to nerdy tempations and ordered the 12" PVC collectible Altair figure.

You never have to worry about using up all the fun too quickly, as they always come back to the tunnels. But see, that's the thing. They always come back.

Darth Groovy Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Not sure how long you been a Bowie fan, but ask anybody here, and it goes back a long, long way for me. Ever want any suggestions, just shoot me a PM. So far, you are on the right track with those two. And my personal favorite would be Outside if you don't have it already. Have not been buying too much, but I did pick up one new game this past week: I never been big on Racing Games, but the Burnout franchise falls into the so fun it's stupid category of gaming bliss. This one, you can just drive around a full blown open world city, and just do whatever the hell you want. Kind of like GTA without leaving the vehicle or third person shooting stuff. When you want repairs, you drive to a garage, when you run low on fuel, you drive to a gas station. When you run out of money, you drive to a key location, and do one of the events. It's a great deal of fun, and a milestone for the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with those 2 new ones, I have "David Bowie", Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, and Best of Bowie. Don't have Outside, thanks for the recommendation.
