Xbox 360

Yeh, that was the one.

The other way would be to get a Wifi Router. Connect your PC with a wire through it and the Xbox, well wirelessly. Dunno how much would it cost though.

Ended up just running a second cable down. I also took Gears of War back (It made me remember two things, why console shooters make no sense and why I don't play them even on PC) and swapped it for PES6 (I really can't tell the difference between it and the newer ones, graphics look the same and I don't know enough about Football to notice that the teams are outdated).

I haven't played my gears of war yet, I was just about to go give it a go. Whats wrong with it?

Well I wasn't much of a fan of shooters in the first place, but I thought the camera was the worst I've ever had in a game, and that resulted in me most of the time not able to see what direction I was going in, and being killed.

I'd assume you will like the game and it is just my lack of gaming ability that is the problem not the game itself.

I'm not usually a big shooter fan either, and I agree with the camera angle for us less shooter people it does make it harder but I just had a good 2 hour play and I'm starting to get the hang of it. I quite like it tbh but I understand your point of view.

Matt, I didn't like Gears for the same reason, so you're not alone.

Call of Duty is where it is at even if you're not a fan of shooter. I wasn't before I was hooked on CoD.

Get Command and Conquer Red Alert 3

You people would hate DMC4 then. I saw my brother playing it and the camera was shocking!

FPS all the way

I got the Arcade because Microsoft are doing a deal for Arcade owners where they can get a 20GB HD for $35 delivered.

This arrived yesterday (to my surprise), and came with 3 months of Gold. Played PES online and noticed a bit of lag but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting, after the first few minutes it settled back to full speed. I lost 8-1 and 6-0 in the two matches I played. So I'm obviously not very good, so if someone has PES6 and wants to win a match, add me on Xbox Live (same username as here) and send me a message when I'm online.

Something slightly amusing was how the HD came up on my debit card statement:

RETAIL PURCHASE;
XBOX EXTENDED WAR,[noparse]WWW.XBOX.COM[/noparse]

Very American of Microsoft to have an extended war.

How can I get this microsoft deal? Is it just for people in Victoria or your area or something?

Though some people on the site I found it on (whirlpool) are mentioning it isn't working for them now.
