I just ordered Viva Pinata, Crackdown, and Kameo. All came to like, $50. lol

So excited to play 360!

Peanut · 08-16-2007, 12:52 PM

Do you see this, TMB? This kid just got a 360 and he ALREADY has Viva Pinata! WHERE ARE YOU ON THIS!? I thought you loved Rare! I HATE YOU!

**ThirdMarioBro** · 08-16-2007, 03:42 PM

Well, it certainly isn't happening until after Halo 3 comes out. $$$

Enjoy Kameo though. Kameo is awesome. Crackdown is fun too while it lasts.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 08-16-2007, 06:30 PM

Blew another 800 points on Contra III for SNES.

Just d/l and played the Bioshock demo myself. Wow...just...wow. Even my friend who isn't a big 1st person shooter fan really loved it.

The atmosphere really does it for me. I especially liked the creepy woman with the baby carriage. I wasn't sure if she was a threat so I was just kinda slowly walking up to her trying to see what was up. Then when she flipped out on me I was like AAHHH! then I busted that ho in the skull with the wrench. Teach her to scare me like that.

Can not wait for this baby to roll out.

I loved what Tycho from Penny Arcade said about the game.

It is my intention to secure two copies of the game, entire - one Collectors' edition, and one exclusively to shove up Roger Ebert's @$$. If Bioshock isn't "art," then art is the poorer for it.

That made me lol.

Peanut · 08-17-2007, 03:43 PM

Put my pre-orders in for Halo 3 (regular) and BioShock (Limited Edition), and I also got Sam & Max Season 1! YEAH!

**ThirdMarioBro** · 08-17-2007, 08:08 PM

The lady with the carriage didn't really get me. I saw that one coming. It was just too creepy not to be a set-up.

Jed · 08-17-2007, 09:14 PM

Got Halo 1 and 2 secondhand finally. It was buy two get one free on preowned games so I got Tomb Raider: Angel Of Darkness, I might play through it quickly and trade it in.

Oh I bashed her head in with a wrench instantly. I was like "Yeah stealth kill!" Then I realized all that did was cause the other one to start shooting at me.

I had to trade in my Xbox, again, here's to number 3! Anyways I got Saint's Row cause it was like 15 bucks with my discount plus the extra money I had left over since 360's were only 350 at my store that week.

I wanted a game to mess around in and that's what I got. It can get really cheesy but the gameplay is fun enough to keep me entertained. I'm sure the appeal will wear off but atleast it was only 15 bucks and not 60.

Again?!? God, this machine has a sh*tty build quality. Mine is still working, but it gets louder every week. I'm going to pull warranty, but not until after the Halo hype. We're all going to have fun this fall playing multiplayer and co-op, but around November, I don't plan on touching the Xbox until sometime in early January thanks to the double dose of Mario and Smash, not to mention NiGHTS.

So, to prevent it from dying when I need it, I'm just going to kick it in the floor the day before Mario hits and call them for a shipping box. If I have a three year replacement warranty, then I'm getting a Falcon model. The damn thing is going to break anyway....except Peanut's. His is possessed by the devil or something.

Peanut · 08-17-2007, 09:48 PM

I have had zero problems with my 360 since I got it, and that f*cking thing has been put through it's paces. 20 hour Oblivion stress tests for the win? It's also been dropped, kicked, transported roughly and left running for days, (accidentally while I was away) yet there hasn't been a hitch.

And I'd be careful trying to pull something with that 3-year warranty. Some unlucky bastard has his break, but it wasn't do to the three red rings, so he had to pay to have it fixed. Apparently the 3-year only covers the ring, nothing else.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 08-17-2007, 09:51 PM

Watch it fail the day after the warranty ends.

Peanut · 08-17-2007, 09:53 PM

If you've had it for this long without problems, it probably means you're good to go. You're also probably not an idiot douche who leaves their 360 in an enclosed space, or next to other warm electronics. If you keep it cool, the 360 will never f*ck up, unless you're just one of those unlucky people who get one of the shoddy ones.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 08-17-2007, 11:55 PM

Well, I'm just not going to worry about it. All I care about is Bioshock and Halo. September is going to rule.

It really does, I had a plan at Best Buy I guess when you take it in the first time if it's been less then a year you get a new one without voiding your replacement plan but anything other then that and you use up your plan. But it's only 40 bucks for another plan so it's not to bad. Especially since the system cost me 400 to buy in the first place and the price has dropped so I still get that cash store credit.

I just like not having to send it in and instead of getting a refurbished one I get a brand new one. The one I got this time came with a HDMI port. Not that I can use it since my HDMI cable is to thick and I can't have the component cables and it plugged in at the same time...

Jed · 08-18-2007, 07:14 PM

My 360's been fine since day one, I've had it for over a year now. I take really good care of it though but I did drop it once when I was trying to move it to put my PS3 near it, it hit the shelf pretty hard and left a black mark on the side but it still works perfectly.

The PS3 on the other hand, stupid thing kept overheating from day one. My replacement works great though, lucky break I guess.

Meeko · 08-19-2007, 07:39 AM

I just bought Tales of the World:Radiant Mythology for the PSP.
It's about time I got some use out of that thing.

Peanut · 08-19-2007, 11:01 AM

Holy sh*t! MEEKO! Dude, where the hell have you been for the past two years!?

Meeko · 08-19-2007, 12:12 PM

Hey, Peanut... I just sorta fell out, and now I decided to randomly return.
By your signature I see that PA tech is still going. I must join it again!
