The Old XBOX Megathread

[King Ellis]

They do.

Benji, are you like the worst housemate ever or something? It seems like you move every other week.

On Activision, I find that whole '60% of XBL users are only using it for CoD' bullshit. If they were to start implementing subscriptions for it, I imagine quite a few people would just move on to something else. It's not like they're starved for choice.

[EddieRuckus]

Pretty much. Red Dead is one that was played a lot, and is played from time to time, but in 5 weeks it might be old news. I would wait to get Reach, RB3, and the new COD. Expect to play those heavily with EWBers for a week and then nothing afterwards as well >>

[Benji]

Ah, good on the game discarding front, means I don't have to waste money on old games

Lived with parents, lived with best mate and that fucked up, moved here because I couldn't go anywhere else on such short notice, and now I'm moving into a place all of my own... so yes, I'm awful

[King Ellis]

Not sure how much it would be played between now and Reach but ODST is pretty good value for what you get. A campaign, firefight and every Halo 3 map. After the Reach beta the value plummeted so it can be had for sub £10 now. There's still me, LL and Fitzy who have it that I know of.

But if you are having to wait a month before you can play online, that only leaves like a month before Reach so probably not gonna be worth it. I dunno who's getting Reach though, I'm not too fussed about it myself.

[Benji]

I'm not playing Halo unless there's a massive new one, not the biggest fan of FPS' unless it's gimmicked up to shit or it's so big that almost all of my online mates have it.

[9 to 5]

I play myself online Red Dead, Left 4 Dead 2 and Gears of War 2 mainly.

[Benji]

I have L4D (first one), and it's probably my priority game to play behind Blue Dragon so I'll probably get the second sooner rather than later

[The Kraig]

My Xbox 360 slim arrived today. No data transfer cable included. Not fucking happy.

[Baddar]

Was there supposed to be one? And I have both L4D games on my rental list with lovefilm, so I'll play them both eventually.

[King Ellis]

I still have my copy of L4D as well as 2. I do need to play the DLC for 1 at some point.

[zero]

I will never pay to play a game online. I don't even like online multiplayer, unless it's the rare occurrence when I'm playing with you guys. I'd love to see them pull that shit, because it will effectively kill the Call of Duty franchise, especially on the Xbox, where people are already paying $50 a year.

You want to do something about declining software sales? Make better games.

According to several websites months ago? Yes, the UK batch was meant to have the cable included. I got one for about £17 earlier, all is well.

[KevinStorm]

Zero, that makes too much sense. Clearly they're not making enough money because they should be charging for something they've never charged for before. It has nothing to do with making shitty games. >_>

[Gongsun Zan]

Got my XBL back up again.

Does anyone want to dig up Reach so I can play Firefight?

[King Ellis]

Do you mean ODST?

I'm not opposed to Firefight, I just don't like the fact that it can take hours, especially if you're trying for an achievement.

[Gongsun Zan]

It takes effort for the achievements? Bah

So what's the in-thing these days then?

[Maxx]

I'm waiting for Monday Night Combat in a few weeks.

I think the last thing I played with EWBers was Bomberman

[Cactus Drags]

Monday Night Combat should be wicked. I'm up for Firefight, but I'll need to know a day or so in advance so I can borrow a copy from work.

[Ruki]

So, I can get The Orange Box for $5....worth it?

Anyone still have it for TF2?

[9 to 5]

Red ringed.

And I have it somewhere Ruki yes.
