10k fists Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I've never gone to Blockbuster and just grabbed a game and took off like I was running a relay race.

Bokishi Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I never got a dvd remote in the premium. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Huh...mine has a stiker that says "Bonus Media Remote - Limited Time only" Sorry you didn't get one Bok. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Current 3DMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people I know will gladly rent a game just to try it out, regardless of whether or not they know anything about it or not. Be it through Gamefly or renting in a store. You, on the other hand, are dead set against having anyone justify the HDD. Go you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His point seems to be that it's much cheaper trying out demos over Xbox live than renting games from Blockbuster. While the comparison isn't perfect, it's not worth busting someone's balls over.

Musopticon? Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 (edited) DoA 4 a superb fun at parties and the fighting is decent. If the horrible art direction and...eh physics, put you off, then too bad. It's fluid, fun and hectic as hell. I don't exactly need anything else from a fighting game. But do get Blood Money if you can.

10k fists Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I agree, although isn't Sony doing the same thing? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As far as I understand, both versions of the PS3 will have a HDD. Spliting the userbase like Microsoft did is just plain stupid. It forces everyone to develope for systems without a HDD, which is doesn't allow for better optomization for the HDD.

icebox15 Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 First of all, I got my 360 and the game I got was K2 because of my limited spending limit. I got the Pro package that came with a month free xbox live silver service which you can't even play online with. What does HDD stand for and what is the split userbase everyone keeps talking about?

What does HDD stand for and what is the split userbase everyone keeps talking about? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't think it came with a free month of Silver service, since Silver is always free. HDD stands for the harddrive - the split userbase means that because Microsoft chose to release a console that came standard with a harddrive and one that didn't, the usebase is split between the two styles. This forces developers to develope for the lowest common denominator, which would be a harddrive-less console. It removes the ability to take the extra step to optimize for a harddrive since work has to be put into making sure the game works without one instead.

Of coarse I'm going to redeem afterwards though SAnd the hard drive sucks. It's only 20 gig. A demo I tried to download was 1 gig. You do the math.

Save game files take up next to nothing, and demos are normally deleted after a while. 20 gig was plenty to launch with, but Microsoft will be releasing larger capacity HDDs in the future.

Bokishi Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I just got a Nyko Intercooler, and now my xbox 360 is chilled out, I can even stick it in enclosed spaces no problem. Thing is now my Xbox 360 is as loud as a PC, which is kind of cool but sucky at the same time. Current 3DMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stuff I'm going to get now for my 360 for sure are :Intercooler, play and charge kit, and redeem cards. Stuff I'd like to get should I get enough extra moolah: Universal remote (could someone explain whats so special about it for me?), wireless network adapter (All I do is just plug in one in to broadband and the other into the 360 right?), and the live vision camera. Also I downloaded the Hitman demo for blood money and I'm stuck trying to get past the guards after I enter the gift shop. Help...Feedback?

Musopticon? Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 About the demo, throw the coin out of the open window(hold the throw button for more momentum) and when they go to investigate, leg it through the door and to the teathre. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

alanschu Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 AFAIK you don't install your games onto the Hard Drive (excepting demos), so 11 GB is still a lot of room too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10k fists Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 (edited) They say 20 but you only get 11. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You get 17-18 GB... There isn't 9 GB of reserved space for the OS and caching... I currently have 12 GB left on my HDD, and I've got the Lost Planet demo, PGR 3 demo, Fight Night Round 3 demo, Gears of War trailer, Halo 3 trailer, Too Human trailer, 4 CD's worth of music, Ice Age 2 trailer (720p version), all six Superman Returns videos (720p), Chronicles of Narnia trailer (720p), and the Pirates "2" trailer (720p). I also have save files for: Oblivion Top Spin Condemned Call of Duty College Hoops Tomb Raider Perfect Dark Zero Need for Speed Quake 4 Madden Full Auto Kameo Fight Night 3 GRAW As well as Hexic HD and Geometry Wars for XBLA... It really bugs me when people complain about the HDD when it appears as though they are just making stuff up.
