my first one was defected,but they relplaced it with out any bother so dont let that worry you mate...my new one works spot on :)
i would recomend buying a 360...its cheap and its here...unlike ps3 *which im guessing is going to get delayed release dates all year)
i just cant wait untill they bring some decent games out, i need somthing to get my teeth stuck into

Yeah,i dont doubt the Support is not great,when my HS broke i called the support and they came 3 days later and knocked on my door,with a package,sadly it was not a headset,but 2 handcontrollers :)
Ofc i never called them up and said they gaved me the wrong package.
Why even bother?!
>_<

Btw my 2nd friend who got defected 360 has a new one that works fine.
But still.

i wasnt very pleased when mine broke...infact i was going to just get my money back, but i gave it another go with the new one and im glad i did :) £209 for a next gen console is a complete bargain (as long as it works lol)
still cant find a hard drive anywhere though..there like rocking horse shit

The best games are G-wars, Billiards and RR6..

PGR3:
Being part of Online GT-r and LFS racing teams, which is just pure 60fps, FFback ' Momo' wheel racing. PGR3 had to be sold within a few weeks. it didn' t do anything for me... theres no ' hook' to the gameplay (like RR6' s is power sliding, and GT-r' s is conqering and mastering the whole dynamics of the car).

Its stuck in knowing what the hell its wants to be! a sim? or an arcade racer?? I want a game to do something properly not half/half. I find the games basic gameplay with no soul whatsoever..

COD2:
the multiplayer mode is ' ok' as far console FPS' s go, its smooth and plays well-enough, though the servers are really stupid with no dedicated servers and you mostly end up on a server far away which makes you lagg most of the time. SOO frustrating.

Single player mode would be ' good' but the game jerks every time a few computer AI' s and a bit of draw distance kicks in. I find this sort of thing REALLY annoying and this shouldn' t be seen on a so-called Next generation console. Im not overly impressed TBH.

Also i have the PC version and on my PC it runs rock-solid 60fps with higher resolutions and dedicated servers and Mouse and keyboard.. I' ll have that thank you very much

DOA4:
Well, well, put it this way.. the more i played this, the more i want VF5..

Yeah, just to clear up, if you buy the Premium version it comes with batteries for the controller and the media remote. Just without the play and charge kit once the batteries you have die you won' t be able to use the wireles pad :)

Another reason to love my 360... it playes region 1 DVD' s! Scooore.

Anyone who' s judging 360 yet is stupid. The lauch titles weren' t perfect but there' s some highly polished games there.

I' d wait until the end of April before judging it...

I can' t wait until next month. I' ve got £400 just waiting to be spent on new 360 games!!!!
