[Miyazaki]

Has it shrunk?

It looks smaller?!

 

[eviljohn2]

I don't think it's an actual size picture!

 

[james.miller]

it's bloody horrible. They don't suit white at all lol

 

[sjallen]

The proper white ones released in Japan look nice. That looks horrible.

Yep just use your memory card to do it, i'll have to do that with my live account & then just get rid of everything off the HD.

Sorted! i thought it wouldn't really be possible because some games dont use the memory card. I was gona get one for when i go to my mates house instead of taking my xbox, but thought if i cant save most games theres no point.

So what i'm getting at is i suppose you just go into the dashboard then just transfer from the hard drive to memory unit?

 

[hornydragon]

Any ideaaa on price? and will black one drop again? £99.99?

Might actually buy one, hehe fortunately not to buy X-Box games though, was thinking it looks ok and would be useful for Emu games on the TV

lol
Get one for Emu's but also give the games a try you just might like them.
Or is that the problem your scared you just might like them

TBH, I am not really interested in any X-Box games, the closest one that tickles my fancy is Panzer Dragoon, oh and maybe
Capcom vs SNK for the online mode. I think there was Onimusha type game released for it too? That looked interesting.

There are simply no Japanese quirky games for it (which is why I love consoles) and the rest I can play on my PC with better graphics and online support (had to mention PC ).

Hehe!

 

[-Jay-]

had to mention PC

Oi no pc talk
I can see why you dont have an xbox now mate, but it is a fine console you must agree?

 

[Miyazaki]

TBH all the other games on xbox you can't play on pc. And a lot of the other ones you can but not until they are released for pc.
Which in the case of halo 2 will probably be 2007!

 

[Sinzer]

TBH all the other games on xbox you can't play on pc.

Let me rephrase, all the ones I am interested in I can play on PC or Gamecube for that matter. I cannot think of one X-Box exclusive which has me drooling to play, each to their own

The only games I can think of that you cannot get on PC, which could be counted as AAA is Top Spin and PGR2. Not a fan of either genre. Maybe could include Crimson Skies, but there are similar games available.

As for Halo I have my views on this and have expressed them many times, I played it on X-box when it came out and on PC and cannot see what the fuss was about, mediocre shooter IMO. I agree that some people love it, just not for me I think AVP2 did it much better. If they had stuck to it's original game design I think it would have been good. I don't think Halo2 is going to be any better, certainly not compared to Half Life 2 (only time will tell!).

Given that I still might buy the X-Box as it would make a useful companion to my collection and would remove the need for a SNES, Megadrive and loads of game boxes to live near my TV

How about otogi: myth of demons.

One of the best games i've ever played, along with shenue 2. Not to mention ninja gaiden, dead or alive online, and too many i can be arsed to mention.

Seems a bit silly to me to get one and not to utilise it properly!

 

[Sinzer]

otogi: myth of demons.

That was the game, supposed to be seriously cool

Don't like the Shenmue series very much played it on DC and found it slightly boring. I guess I am too used to teenage kids with funny haircuts and big swords.

 

[ytgti]

Just got Otogi £24 not my type of game but its quite good actually.

 

[Miyazaki]

Otogi is the best if you like that Kurosawa atmosphere.

Very, very, very good game!
