The Old XBOX Megathread

[thatshortguy]

Oh I have bills Meacon, I choose to spend my money wisely when I do, hence not buying GTA until it is a bit cheaper come Christmas time sales as an example

Bought my copy of GTA V used from Gamestop for $37 less than a week after it came out.

Comparatively, stores here are still charging through the roof for GTA.

[RoHitman Reigns]

Same here, if I wanted GTA V I cant find it anywhere for under 50 which is too much for me at this point.

Has anyone had any experience, good or bad, with the 360 cooling gadgets?

My 360 overheats every. single. time I play GTA. I've heard absolutely nothing about the cooling gizmos that are out there, so if anybody uses or has used one, please let me know.

From my experience, they generally don't do a whole lot. Whether we just sold a particularly ineffective brand, I'm not sure, but we had a fair few people trying to return them because they didn't work. One or two said it saved their console, but yeah, on the whole, not great.

After playing the Battlefield 4 beta quite a bit I have to wonder whether it's actually worth getting Battlefield 4 or if it might be better getting the Battlefield 3 Premium edition. I do really like the giant building being able to be taken down to change the middle of the map from the high ground to the lowest point, but I'm not sure if there's anything really exclusive to 4 that I'd miss in 3. Anyone have or had Battlefield 3 have any feedback?

[Maxx]

Wouldn't buy it until you get a next gen console.

Need some ideas for a new gamertag. Only criteria:

-Must involve a short joke.

-Must pass MS' decency standards (Midget is disallowed, apparently)

-Must be shorter than my current tag (Shortradamous, which is 13 characters)

What ya got?

Please, gawd, let this be available. I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

Also, Halo 3 is now available for free if you're a Goldie. You should probably get on that.

I had a hands-on with the Xbox One last week, Forza is gorgeous, and the haptic feedback on the triggers is just incredible. Really enjoyed it. Couldn't get much from Killer Instinct being unfamiliar with the characters and moves, but it certainly looks the part, and even newbies can get into long combos pretty easily. Also saw lots of game play trailers, Ryse seems far less button-bashy/QTE-intense than the E3 showing suggested.

Games With Gold to continue past November.

So, it's weird, but the fact that I can have the same Xbox Live account on a 360 and on the One, has kind of swayed me toward getting a One instead of a PS4.

Granted, I won't be getting one in the next six months or so, so I'll actually be able to try each out, to know what one for sure I want. But not having to pay extra to have Live on both machines is a huge plus.

Xbone is the devil!

[Meacon Keaton]

Nevermind then.
