But how can you see them, you know, with all the bling coming off the belt buckles?

NevadaSTi 2007-06-21 02:13 PM

That bling on there beltbuckets is like a homing single. Just follow the blinking lights!!

If you own a xbox360 go pick up a copy of Dirt it is an awesome off road racing game and the graphics are amazing. Full review here:

I'm currently racing big rigs on the hill climb :lol:

While I dislike rally-raid (it's like soccer mom rally with a bunch of SUVs or garbage trucks running in to eachother) and don't care much for the buggys, the rest of the game is a blast. Stage rally, rallycross, crossover, hillclimb. . . and it has Pike's Peak. :)

JonnydaJibba 2007-07-10 01:29 PM

Yeah it looks AMAZING. But I don't like how the cars drive.

Nick Koan 2007-08-21 09:12 AM

I'm kind of getting amped for this game, Saboteur.

http://kotaku.com/gaming/clips/sabot...ler-291542.php

Loosely based of real life Grand Prix driver turned WWII war hero William Grover-Williams

I usually hate WWII games, but this one looks awesome.

JonnydaJibba 2007-08-21 10:28 AM

BioShock came out today, I can't wait to play it. My friend got it last night and said that it's BA.

100_Percent_Juice 2007-08-21 10:57 AM

^awesome!!

JonnydaJibba 2007-08-21 11:55 AM

yeah sure?

Nick Koan 2007-08-21 12:02 PM

Yeah, Bioshock is looking pretty sweet. I downloaded the demo last night, and it was pretty obvious my machine can't handle it. So, looks like I need an upgrade (a long time coming anyway) or I should just buy a 360.

JonnydaJibba 2007-08-22 10:18 AM

Not that anybody really cares, but Bioshock is amazing.

My crusty old PC would catch fire if it was even in the same room as that game :(

Bob Danger 2007-08-22 11:09 AM

I played the demo for Ace Combat 6 the other night, it looks so amesome I need a 360.

I care. I tried to get a PC demo last night but had to wait in a virtual line. Then I want to bed. Any sites that offer immediate download without an account?

I downloaded it through steam on Sunday night. No queuing and it only took 2 hours or so.

But, I guess you do have to have a steam account to get it.

JonnydaJibba 2007-08-22 02:56 PM

Looks like these should work.

http://www.gamerevolution.com/download/pc/bioshock

I didn't actually try any though because I'm at work. When I click on them it brings up the "Where do you want to DL" window, so it should work.

It has the best water I have ever seen.

100_Percent_Juice 2007-08-22 03:03 PM

I played it and yeah, its awesome.

Then you'd have more reason to upgrade, right? :D

M3n2c3 2007-08-23 10:56 AM

Oh, and Metroid Prime 3 is really, really good. :cool:

Argh, how do you know that already. The game isn't out yet :p

But, its cool I still have to finish MP2 first.

JonnydaJibba 2007-08-23 12:08 PM

^that's what I was going to say.

100_Percent_Juice 2007-08-23 01:09 PM

Why would anyone want to bother with metriod when you have bioshock.

JonnydaJibba 2007-08-23 01:59 PM

Cuz Metroid is one of the coolest games ever doy. But I don't have a Wii =(

One of the perks of running a store! :D

Double Phister 2007-08-25 08:03 AM

I like how bioshock is plastered with nvidia logos and teh release notes talk about stuttering issues with nvidia cards.

I had some issues with trying to change the resolution or sound options but game play was bugless. Cool creep factor. I love the setting/time period too. Reminds me of rocketman/wings on the amiga.

skimonkey30 2007-08-25 11:08 AM

I was going to go buy bioshock..........

then i turned on my xbox360 to play a game of madden and I get the three red rings of death so now my 360 is out of comission for 3-4 weeks :(

I just hope I get it back before Halo 3 comes out

JonnydaJibba 2007-08-27 10:49 AM

That stinks! I think my Xbox might be starting to crap out too. I dunno if it's just the game (doubtful) but when I have been playing in the last few days it skips or pauses like crazy. Like every 10 seconds or so it will pause for like a second or two. Then sometimes it runs fine. At least we have a 3 year warranty now. My buddies FOURTH Xbox crapped out on him on Thursday. When he called to tell them they keep sending him broken Xboxes and that he wants his money back or to speak to somebody higher they just say "Sorry, we don't do anything like that." Whatta load.

JonnydaJibba 2007-09-04 12:33 PM

CoD4 Beta is awesome.

sperry 2007-09-05 01:30 PM

Anyone know when the cooler running XBox360's will be in stores? Is there anyway to know which are which? Any price drops coming before Xmas?

After playing Eric's last weekend, I want one... but I don't want to bother if I'm going to have to send it to MS once every two months.

Nick Koan 2007-09-05 01:34 PM

Supposedly the SKUs on the side will say Falcon on them, instead of Zephyr (chipset codenames). And the last rumor I heard was that they should start showing up in October.

tysonK 2007-09-05 06:19 PM

I wouldn't mind having a 360 also.

M3n2c3 2007-09-05 08:08 PM

You don't really need to wait. The media has blown the "broken xb360" thing way out of proportion.

cody 2007-09-05 09:18 PM

Forget the media, everyone I know that has one has experienced the ring of death.

Yeah no... did you see the post I made about my friend being on his FIFTH XBOX?! He's not the only one I know who has had to replace theirs. But he has gone through the most. And what is really funny about that is he takes really good care of his stuff.

Maybe he needs to beat on his stuff more?

JonnydaJibba 2007-09-05 09:47 PM

:lol: We've joked about that before.

Even if that's true, why wouldn't I want to wait on the newer version that runs cooler and uses less power?

It's naturally up to you and your desire to play the games now or satisfaction with waiting 'till later. My contention is that difference between the two will be so slim it's not really worth waiting.

You know, the whole thing is really kind of comedic when I think about it. . .

People tend to really trash their stuff. I've handled thousands of trades over the years, and perhaps only 5% of it is in the kind of condition I'd want to see my own belongings in. I can't count anymore the number of times I've heard some schmoe tell me his stuff is in "great condition" to try and cajole more money out of me, when in fact I would never let it see the inside of my own house. I can almost guarantee that the vast majority of the people complaining about their 360 dying have not taken care of it as well as they claim.

Given this, it's absurd to watch people get all pissy when the thing doesn't turn out to be as reliable as the SNES that kept working after it had soda spilled on it. I mean, it's not like the current gen systems have that many more tiny, delicate moving components. . . oh wait.

At any rate, I think Microsoft is doing an admirable job of dealing with the problems that have arisen. The warranty was just extended to three years, which is pretty killer. The PS2 had a terribly high failure rate during the first year, and Sony pretty much told people to get bent.

AtomicLabMonkey 2007-09-05 10:58 PM

I don't know why anyone would buy something designed & built by Microshaft that they didn't absolutely have to. Is it really surprising that it has reliability issues? :rolleyes:

Jesubi11 2007-09-05 11:33 PM

If it breaks they fix it, end of story. Jeremiah correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure this is the best free warranty that a system has ever had. But what do I know it's not like I work with them all day.
