EB Games called last night…

[LongRange]

…and told me to come pick up my XBOX 360.





This thing is really cool, I got the full version and picked up Perfect Dark Zero, Call of Duty 2, and an extra wireless controller for ShortRange. Now only if I lived where I could hook up to XBOX Live.

Also, dose anyone know where I can order the disk with the updates to play old XBOX games from? (I can't download it, I don't have DSL or cable where I live).

You're lucky, I heard that there's a wait until March.

Got to play Call of Duty 2 on my friend's 360 last night and it was awesome. Graphics are VERY impressive.

Why does your location effect your xbox live? COD 2 is soo crazy on 360, graphics are great and the game play is amazing. Also, if you pick up one of those disks, can you let me know where? I have an ebgames near me, mabey I'll check to see if they have them.

Well if you can use dsl or high speed internet besides 56k (hahaha) then you can use xbox live anywhere. just hook up the ethernet cable from the modem to your 360. If your in a remote location talk to your phone service provider or the cable company or just a rep from like msn or aol broadband about it. i highly recommend the 360 online. Perfect Dark Zero online is awesome.

I don't have DSL or Cable (hence no XBOX live) because I live in the middle of nowhere (which is great for Paintball). I have looked at different companies that offer it and the only option I found was satellite DSL from Direct TV, $800 dollar install fee and $80 a month, considering I will be leaving for collage in 7 months I will just wait till then.

And MNewman you got a Custom IBM PowerPC CPU (which is triple core) and 1080i Resolution in your PC?

[MNewman15]

Longrange, i gotta be honest, i have no idea what the **** you just said....i have a compaq presario with a Nvidia GeForce 5500 in it, runs really well for the games i play

[LongRange]

That is a good gaming system, Sorry I messed up there (typo) here is a translation.

I am just giving you a hard time and being a smart donkey

Translation - I meant to say Do you have a Custom triple core IBM PowerPC CPU in your PC? (Not positive I am explaning this right but here goes. Most computers have a single core CPU, some high end gaming/media PC have duel cores in them for more power to use for playing games and editing media. The 360 has a triple core setup which to my knowledge is not yet available for the PC and is extremely powerful. Even thought game developers have only just started using the second core in these early games). And dose it put out 1080i Resolution on your screen?
