Forums - Microsoft Discussion - I'm buying myself a new Xbox, and I want to buy it some presents

Munkeh111 said:

Well I was considering getting Reach for £10 with the console, but Bungie have enough money, so I will just play local co-op with my friend who already has it

Instead, I got Dragon Age 2 for £15 with it, so that will keep my Xbox busy, and I might go back through Gearses in co-op as well as remind myself why I love Halo Wars so much

Has it got any replayability, Halo Wars?

Deadly Premonition!

Yes it has replayability. The best part of Halo Wars is the multiplayer and most reviewers agree. The last time i played there was about 11 000 people online, so the online community is not dead either, enough to find a game.



Go with Left 4 Dead 2, Reach, or Alan Wake, or all! :)

I agree, I spent ages playing multiplayer, I bought a few months of live just to play that game

Really that many online at the same time? It's even more than Age of Empires 2 had back in it's prime in 2000 and 2001!



One cool side effect of having two Xbox 360's (at least, for me):  I tried to transfer my license to the new 360 via xbox.com and I couldn't get it to work.  I called Xbox customer service and talked to some hot sounding chick.  About a week later, I received an email saying that the license transfer was complete.  I picked some games to transfer to the new Xbox 360 and they worked great online and offline on the new console.......AND THE OLD CONSOLE.

I've taken both consoles online quite often (the new one is the Hardcore Xbox and the old one is the Casual Xbox) and all of the content is available on both Xbox's (about 60 games).  Toss in my Kinect and my Xbox is very happy.

--Unfortunately, you already have an Xbox.  If the one Xbox isn't getting much play, I don't think you're going to have much more fun with two.  Maybe you should grab some multi-plats for the 360 but if the 360 isn't your platform of choice like it is for me, I can't endorse your purchase of a second one.  Even with the built in Wi-Fi, better reliability, and slick redesign, it's still essentially just an Xbox.  Just save your money until something comes along that you feel compelled to play.

I  stop playing cause I kept getting owned online, hard! But when i did do good it was amazing, calling in ODST's WAS AWSOME!!!!!



MORTAL KOMBAT - I know it's a multi-plat but a lot of my friends find xbox 360 controllers better then ps3. Actually tried the demo on ps3 and thats what convinced all of them to get it on 360. Also the fact that all of us that don't own a ps3 are getting it for 360.

What is this license transfer thing?

Don't worry about me buying more consoles, I get very itch with these things and really felt like buying one... I know it is silly, but it is better than my itch causing me to buy a new phone midway through my console
