Hmmmmmm... Okay so, i would like an xbox... But i love my music and the laptop and facepunch distracts me enough from my guitar already. I worked out the xbox and everything i need for it would come to £300 + £200 for a nice 22" HD TV. I get money from my paper round and only that; i have about £125 in my wallet right now... Are they worth it... What should i do?! :frown: [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Not a Question Thread" - Gurant))[/highlight]
Sure why not. Im guessing youve only got a laptop, and at least one console is madatory.
If you have a good gaming PC, don't bother. If you don't, then go ahead, but you'll be missing out on stuff like mods, some games don't get free updates etc.
Only the laptop, no other consoles apart from my original xbox with 27 games! :smug: [editline]02:57PM[/editline] [QUOTE=DuncanFrost;16218854]If you have a good gaming PC, don't bother.

trust me buy a ps3 my xbox 360 overheats all the time and makes much noise and you have to pay to get online. trust me a ps3 is better. if you don't trust me i got both.
It's worth it if you are going to be playing games. If you are not much of a gamer/none of your friends have an xbox 360 then it's not really worth it. Also when you buy your hd tv you will be able to also plug your laptop into it and use it as an extended monitor.

FYI: I've got loads of games on my steam account waiting to be used... It's just my laptop won't run them... I'll just probably get a 360 then. So this is a good deal? XBOX 360 and white controller = £166 [B]with free resident evil 5 and free black xbox 360 microsoft controller[/B] ?
Hack your Xbox so you can play backups PM if interested

It's my second 360, seeing as my first one red-ringed for no reason after a year and a half (the same thing happened to my friend). So yeah, take that into account, 360s are really unreliable.
Personally, I think you should get a good computer instead, since you have lots of PC games you can't even play.

Get one, it's the best thing you'll EVER do.
[QUOTE=Foghorn;16219769]Get one, it's the best thing you'll EVER do.[/QUOTE] Awwwwwwwww jeez :D I'll go get one right now then :D
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES then you can add me and we can play together :) i play too much :(
I have had an Xbox 360 for 2 and a half years or so maybe longer, and it hasn't overheated on me once. I also have a PS3 and have had that for like 3 maybe 4 weeks and hasn't died yet either. PS3 costs more but online is free and there are some good games for it. Xbox 360 online you have to pay £40 for in UK (Or for how long you want Gold Membership for) or $50 for in US (Same applys) i think, but Xbox 360 has got alot of games on it. Personally i think they are both great systems.
Thanks guise... Off to get my xbox soon :buddy:

also if you flash the dvd drive firmware on the xbox you can play on live as well. just make sure to check stealth! :3: also also xbox360 isn't the only console with hardware flaws. the ps3 has the "yellow light of death" so HA
i dunno
If you dont have a 360 dont post here. yeah you should get one, there is no lag and the graphics are great. plus the experience is much better then a PC....unless you can play crysis

You can get a nice 22 inch monitor for under £150 instead of a TV.
[QUOTE=B-hazard;16221457]You can get a nice 22 inch monitor for under £150 instead of a TV.[/QUOTE] Yeah but getting a TV means i can watch freeview as well :S So that's a bonus too :buddy:
The reason the earlier models over heat and get the RRoD is because they used different cooling system in the older models. If you buy a new xbox today the new cooling system prevents it from overheating. My old one over heated. got a new one. runs like a charm. Xbox live is only $8 a month. you could scrounge enough quarters from people on the street every day for that. so cost itsnt a useful complaint. Xbox has a larger online comunity. (not mod wise but multiplayer wise) So I would recommend it :buddy: and yes thats a good deal. :D
