So I see they're selling 2100 MS points for �16/�17 and 4200 MS for RRP �35 - Now where's the sense in that? I thought you get monies off fur buying in bulk! D:

How much of a whore are you?

Swifteh — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 17:53:12 GMT

Achievement whoring. How much of a whore are you?

I'm a bit of a whore because I love seeing that little message saying "Achievement Unlocked" along with the noise it makes ^_^. That and my mates moan at me if GS doesn't increase. They're awkward like that.

You?

"Vault 101 � Jewel of the Wastes. For 200 years, Vault 101 has faithfully served the surviving residents of Washington DC and its environs, now known as the Capital Wasteland. Though the global atomic war of 2077 left the US all but destroyed, the residents of Vault 101 enjoy a life free from the constant stress of the outside world.

You're Gamer Picture... WHYYYY?!

Purple Kitsune — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 19:44:22 GMT

So, the little picture next to your name, what is it and why have you got it?

Mine is ANGRY FAIC from Newgrounds/AH HD/Castle Crashers. It's one of Dan Paladin's many awesome little things he's created. I chose it cos i absolutely love his art style. It's simplistic, but colourful.

Achievements you are proud of.

Mr.Davis — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 20:12:34 GMT

Well, achievements are a big part (wow this layout sucks =/) of 360 gaming, therefore for all those who take them with a bigger pinch of salt than others, which are the ones you are proud of. (They don't have to be hard, you just have to be proud) Game : Virtua Tennis Name: Unlock Duke Unlock King Reason : These two are not easy, the Duke and the King are two of the hardest bosses I have faced out of many 360 games, a true challenge. Game : Perfect Dark Zero Name : ...

Portal Still Alive

T2 Hodgie — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 21:20:03 GMT

200/200GS on this as of yesterday, and found that I've been awarded with 2 gamerpics. One; a lovely picture of a chocolate cake being cut. The other; companion cube with wings and a halo ...awesome!

Great game anyway. Does anyone know if there are any plans for DLC maps? :]

iTunes Store music on 360

Mercury's Phoenix — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 12:13:14 GMT

Hey people,

I was reading up on ways to get music and video onto my 360 and read that I could connect my Ipod to the console and transfer my music. However, it said music bought through the iTunes store could not be transferred at this time. Most of my music has been bought from the service.

I was just wondering if you guys had heard anything about it. Will I be able to transfer them in the future? Is there anything in the works?

Fifa 09 - PrisonRules Pirates up and running

Uchiha Miek — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 11:16:35 GMT

Fifa 09 is out on October the 3rd, and probably the biggest new addition is the online clubs mode. With it, people can make clubs online, "sign" up to 50 players and then play a be a pro mode with up to 3 - 10 players against other teams in leagues. So me and Timmy have been talking and are interested in setting up a PrisonRules FC for the lols. So yeah, we need at least 10 people before concidering it, hopefully more incase people can't turn up. You don't have to be buying the game ...

Yes, basically you post about the time you had the most fun whilst on XBL.

Simple stuff.

I myself couldn't control my own laughter when for an hour straight I pretended to be an Iraqi who moved to Yugoslavia to get away from Americans, on Halo 3.

God damn... I was laughing so hard it hurt...

Xbox 360 Faceplates/Modding Kits.

Swifteh — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 20:47:25 GMT

Is your Xbox 360 modded? (Not the illegal "Oh look I can get games for free" mod the "Oh look at my Xbox, I've made it blue and can see the disc spin round and round" mod), do you have any faceplates? If so, what? I do want these mainly for epic noglista. They also seem quite simple after watching a review about them. However stuff like this, make me cringe. It looks so chavy imo. Discuss and what not.

Shortay — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 20:28:44 GMT

Ok, after getting to the second last level of World 6 of Braid I decided to stop playing it and haven't played it in over a month. I decided to go back to it just now to finish it but first wanted to recap on the story a bit. When I went into the first world (World 2) I saw that all of the doors were closed like I had never done them. ALl of the other worlds are locked like I had never done nearly all of them... I checked to make sure I wasn't playing the demo and if I still had save ...

My 360 is scrathing my discs!

SuperH — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 14:57:43 GMT

alright, so most of my games have some scratches on them (all work though) and Halo 3 has th most, prolly because its in the 360 most atm. there is a thin ring scratch in the middle of almost all of my games, and some outer scratches. i take really good care of all my games, so don't worry about that. I never leave them in the xbox, but i do press the eject button while the disc is running if i want to come off, but it just goes to dash board so i don't see any harm in that.

I bunch of new co-op gameplay videos have been posted on GT.com http://www.gametrailers.com/player/40666.html Here is the first, after it finishes the rest will automatically play. Wow this game loooks amazing, so much better than Modern Warfare, and i'm not just saying that through mindless hype. Unlike most people I was disappointed when CoD4 was announced to be Modern Warfare, as I love the World War II genre. Co-op looks like great fun, and the Russians are back! Yay Mosin ...
