WooHoo! GTA4

I'm especially curious about the Shadowrun trailer. Is it an RPG a la KOTOR or a hack and slash like Baldur's Gate on the Xbox?

Is it true that GTA4 is exclusive to the 360 ?

No. Exclusive content. Same day release.

And it will be next week before I will be able to see them, at the rate things are DL on live recently. I am just happy I could DL Halo 3 from bungie in about a minute.

It has been ongoing for a while. I will check the link. The direct connect would work but it would be a pain. Thanks for the info.

A few of my friends are also saying they can't download content or it's extremely slow. I'm gonna assume it's the traffic, because Sunday night I was downloading stuff extremely quickly.

Is there a setting that shows how full the hard drive is for the 360?

Has to do with E3 trailers, etc. Started to slow down considerably a few hours ago.

Yes. Go to storage under the system tab. It should say hard drive and how much space is free.

Thanks. I only have 10gb free that 100gb drive is looking good about now.

Well you only started with 13GB so you are doing pretty good.

I can buy 2gig sd flash memory cards for $70 now, why don't they come out with larger sizes for the XBox? Makes no sense to me.

There is probably a glut of old chips that they either have to make something out of or throw them away--in another few years they will be worthless (because of size)

I definitely want the video camera and the wireless headset when they're available.

I'm also all about the camera. The thought of eyetoy games makes me very happy - especially considering there is now a category in the Xbox Live arcade for camera games.

I won't even post my picture on a forum, I can't imagine ever using a video camera while playing a game.

I do look forward to all the pictures I expect to start showing up. And then all the uproar from parents about kids playing strip poker on line.

That's why I was asking about using Thumb drives on the 360. That's woulda/could be cool.

I was disappointed by what MS gave us. Making Nintendo the clear winner of E3 in my mind.

The only thing that piqued my interest is the wireless headset. Very elegant.

Nintendo did kick ass this year, Mircosoft showed some many sweet games, so far sony hasnt delivered Killzone 2 graphics like they were promising.

Ok, UNO is now offically the greatest online game ever.

There's nothing better than hitting some punk with a name like OMG4206969 with Draw Twos over and over and over and hear him squeal.

I lost 6 hours of my life to this game last night... I love it.

I played Uno for about 3 hours as well, though it was all against the computer. I need to try playing against real people.
Would love to get 3 other dvdtalk members who have the game and play some friendly Uno.

Yeah you gotta jump online and play, that's truly the most satisfying way to go. It only took seconds last night to find full games.
