Can't wait to play four player split screen on my PC. Not. This is a dumb idea. Xbox Live is a gaming service, not Facebook, Myspace, or Google+ no matter how much Microsoft wants it to be.

Someone still using "not" :lol:

I don't see what the complaint is, I have some Games for Windows Live games and it's nice to integrate with achievement points and see the same friend's list as my 360. At worst, I don't see what's wrong with that sort of integration :shrug:

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Alright, I have totally ignored my 360 for the past year or more. I haven't even dived into Kinect or any of that. What are some 360 exclusives that I should consider going back and taking a look at?

What brought me back is the fact that Gears came out. It reminded me that I own the first game, but to this day have barely played it. I'm going to start there, so that should be great.

I still have the original 360 with the tiny HD, no HDMI, and no wireless. That part sucks, but what can ya do. It still plays the games!

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Alan Wake, Halo Reach and Fable III have been the major exclusives over the past year. There might be a couple others that I’m forgetting right now.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Definitely pick up Portal 2. Best game of the year so far.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

But not exclusive.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Ah yes, Alan Wake, that is one I totally forgot about. How about XBL exclusive games?

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Are you going to get a Kinect? A few of those games are worth getting.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Yep, I'm getting married on 10/15 and I'm about to move into our apartment and I'll finally have room to play it properly. That's the only reason I haven't picked that up yet, lack of room.

Which of the Kinect games should I aim for?

My fiance LOVES Nintendogs on 3DS. Is the animal game for Kinect anything that may suit her or is that almost totally aimed at very young children?

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

There's Kinectimals. It's simplistic, but quite cute. But don't buy it yet -- next month there's a revolution coming :



And congrats on the upcoming nuptuals.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I wonder if the new animals will release as DLC? Otherwise I dearly hope my daughter never finds out about the addition of bears. I don't want to rebuy the game. :lol:

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Also not exclusive, but equally as awesome... Crysis 2.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Yeah, they will. 1200 points. My panda-obsessed daughter is counting down the days until the DLC release.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

It also has a tie-in upcoming with <A HREF="http://www.buildabear.com/shopping/contents/content.jsp?id=3500009" target="_new">Build a Bear</A> where you buy one of four bears, and scan the hang tag to import them into Kinectanimals.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I doubt those tags are unique. They'll probably be available here in no time.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Oh God, I have to get it now, lol.

And congrats on the upcoming nuptuals.[/QUOTE]

Thanks a lot!

And in all seriousness, I just bought a Kinect with the pack-in game and Kinectimals for under $90 on GoHastings. I have no clue if that's a great deal or not, but it is done. I can't wait to finally be able to try Kinect in my own home.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Let me know how the quality of the kinect from gohastings is. I've been eyeing their used ones for a while.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Will do!

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

So apparently the free disc of Halo: Reach I got from the recent dashboard beta can't work with traditional Title Updates and the disc is now an actual coaster in my house. To compensate, they sent me a GoD code for it. I'll be selling that, you better believe it.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

How much? PM me. I'm using mine but I have a couple friends that might be interested.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I also have a code I won't be using. I could most likely be easily talked into selling it as well.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Thanks for the heads up. I would've normally glossed over that email, but I got one, too!

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

i got one too. i will sell mine.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

$35 for 4,000 MSP from Buy.com: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Microsoft-Xb...68660.m2000036

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Picked one up. Thanks Pinata. If only it was a code being sent, so I could potentially use it on the sale tomorrow.
