Rainbow six Vegas demo is out on on live and also the Eragon demo. Vegas is like a cross between GRAW and Splinter cell. More action oriented.

Well, actually, the Rainbow Six series is older than both the Ghost Recon series and Splinter Cell series...

All three series are "Tom Clancy" spy/military/terrorist killing, so they should obviously all be very similar.

Okay... I caved and got the Kameo deck once I saw what it actually looked like.

When Miyu had the deck up, I joined his game and waited while something downloaded. I got to see all the graphics and what it looked like, but none of the sounds.

Once I saw it was a very nice looking deck, I spent the points. I wasn't going to,but they really did make this deck very nice. Much better then the 35th anniversary deck.

I never did get the PGR deck as it didn't have any gameplay changing elements listed.

I got a 1600 point card for $5 the other week at best buy, so 100 points was a small bit.

Interesting you didn't get the sounds. The sounds are really funny in the Kameo. The music is better than most of the Uno music and when you get skipped or forced to draw cards there is the sound of an old man grumbling.

I also love how you are Kameo and when you switch colors by playing say a blue 3 on a red 3 it announces what form you shift into and your avatar changes to that form. Overall a great Uno deck and the only one i would really want to play with anymore.

Yeah, the first game I just had the normal uno, boring music.

But once I got the deck and we played a few more hands, I heard the really nice and calming music and heard all the grumbles and names when you change forms.

Really well done uno modification.


I think the funny thing about last night was getting a message from eat saying that I convinced him to get the camera. He said once he saw the pic of the my dog, and saw what one actually looked like up and running, that is what did it for him.

I had mine up and running for a while and people were seeing me live. Then I changed it to a custom pic I took of my dalmation and put as my personal pic for people on my friends list.

I just wish that it came with points instead of an Uno code as most people probably already have Uno at this point. At least you can give it away or sell it I would assume.

Jalth got my code so that he could have Uno as well.

The PGR deck has a special card that allows you to look at another person's hand.

Hmm...I thought that was only a repeat button. I'll definitely have to try that again.

Good to hear about Kameo/Uno. I'm looking forward to trying it out tonight.

I'll probably play for a bit tonight. if you want, send me a FR and if you see me in Uno, send a message. I never play with random strangers via matchmaking in Uno. I always like to play with people I know.

That's weird. I had all the Kameo sounds. I actually had my sound turned up pretty loud at first, and the first sound I heard was the Whotnot guy yelling Major Ruin! (or one of the other characters). Oh yeah, and the computer AI is pretty stupid when it comes to the Whotnot card.

Yeah after last night i definitely won't be playing with random people in Uno. Loud rapping. :shudder:

You're already on my list. I'm Sith Draven on XBL.

Anybody know of any deals on the 360?

I see Walmart (online, at least) has it for the regular $400 but with Burnout Revenge for free. Anybody know if this deal is available in store?

Otherwise it seems BB is my best bet (get 2 cents per dollar back with reward zone, yippy!).

Sign up for Target's Credit Card and get 10% off.

check CAG every now and again. They always have 360 deals popping up

EB/Gamestop is giving $80 for a working original xbox/cables/controller until the 5th.

I traded in my nephews yesterday and got him a 360. I was going to trade in one of mine today but am now thinking that the Wal-Mart deal might be better. I love the Burnout games, and $80 is probably reachable on ebay if I sell my xbox there.

:thumbsup:

It's hard to keep track of things when the gamertag and username here don't match. :lol:

I feel like Miyu

Man i wish i could trade in my nephews for credit at EB.

Yup, that's what I did. :up:

Check overstock.com. There are 10% (existing cst) or 12% (new cst - just open a 2nd account) coupons on FW.

You have to hit it a couple of times. It scrolls through different settings.

I'm adding you now as well. It'll be from LEVIOSA! :-) I wonder why they don't let you put text on invites at xbox.com. It's dang annoying.

So you don't get uninvited obscenities. I mean, I sure wouldn't want to open up an invite and have to wade through all your dang vulgarities ;)

The way to do it via xbox.com is like this..

Send the person a message via xbox.com first.. Type whatever you want, ie:

"Hey man.. This is HO TANG aka Leviosa from DVDtalk.. You'll be getting an invite from me.. P.S. Kelly Clarkson is my hero. Just walk away!!"

:D

:lol:

I'll look for it.

LMAO!! OK I went to add Pinata242 but he is not LISTED on the Gamertag list, dagnabbit!

I like it when people have it in their signatures. Much less work. :-)

Tbird: That almost made Sprite come out of my nose! I will do this in the future.

I had an xbox gamertag, but I had to cancel it way back as I never played it. They told me I'd never be able to use that same gamertag again if I wanted to resign up. I sure hope I can get it reactivated somehow if I need it again. I sure don't want to have to change all my online profiles a 243rd time!

I did but I never got invites. I took it out, now I get them. Go figure.

You're just playing hard to get. They like that.

So you are talking all this smack and ya don't even have a gamertag???? :-)

Just giving ya a hard time. :-)

My internet just got upgraded from shit tastic 512kbps to 1.5mbps. Would that be enough to play COD3 with? I tried COD2 with the 512 and it sucked.

I got a bunch of internet girlfriends. I could let you have one if you want.

Downloadable movies?

Got ax XBL connection question: my cousin just got a 360 and we are able to send each other text and voice messages, but we can't connect to each other for live chat or connect to play online games with each other. We get the timed out message when answering each other's invites. It's been a while since I set my xbox up, but is there firewall settings that you have to open to allow communications? It's just weird taht we can send each other messages though.

512 should have been fine, unless you are hosting. 1.5 should be great.

Your ping is more important though.

quick question: what's the deal with the HD-DVD player - is it still due out next week? Gamestop still says 11/7 as does Amazon (although they are sold out), but Circuit City and Best Buy don't even have it on their websites, nor is it mentioned in their ads for next week (according to Speedy's weekly ad thread). I'm hoping to throw some McD's Best Buy bucks at it and get it from BB.

Interesting. Seeing as blockbuster/hollywood don't rent hd movies yet...$4 is not too shabby. Not liking the return of the self destructing rentals though.

$4 isn't bad for a rental but the question I have is if we pay $10-15 to keep movies, how long till the 12 GB HDD is filled??? I wish they would put out a 100GB or so, since I would rather pay $4 to rent an HD title than $5 locally to rent a SD movie. I would also be inclined to buy some movies if they wouldn't fill up my HDD.

If any of you have Uno or Saint's Row, feel free to add me to your XBL list. Or heck, if any of you are planning on picking up the upcoming Smackdown vs. RAW game for the 360, go ahead and add me also.

I just got Uno last night and I'd like to play Double Agent with people I know. Anyone interested go ahead and add me to your list. I also have DOA4, but I don't play it as often.
