Of`course you should!
Then HACK it. =)

There are plenty worth trying/downloading x360 games!

p.s.
1. of`course if you don`t care about SCRATCHED DISCs - that often happens with x360 games.
2. and if you are not afraid that after 2-3 years your x360 may get RROD and you won`t be able to play your BOUGHT games.
Then, maybe don`t hack it. =))

Bullshit post, sorry.

 



Tease.

Don't suggest illegal methods of gaming on the forums.



Hey, thanks for the replies people.

For now, I didn't buy one. I went to the shop, checked the games out, and was really tempted, but I decided to sleep on it some nights.

What puts me off from buying it is the extra costs that come with the console. I need to buy a wireless adapter, which is 80 euro's, almost as much as 2 games. Then, I need to buy a charge kit for the controllers. And last, Xbox Live costs money.

Now, I do have the money, so it's not that big a deal, but I will think about it some more and might buy one at a later stage. I really would like to play some Halo 3 and Castle Crashers...

Also, Crazzy, we don't condone piracy, and feel spiteful and resentful because you've endorsed it for the second time on these forums. Watch out or you could go to prison in America. I know you live in Sweeden or whatever, but FBI'll come for you.

 



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

A nearly endless pack of batteries is like 11 dollars + tax, lol.

Anyway, I to had the wireless issue, as I have a Linksys wireless router. Like all wireless routers, it has the ability to hardwire many things, though. In fact, my desktop has to be hardwired before the router will even send the wireless to the other units in my home.

What I did was run a hardwire from my modem to my router, then to the attic, 50 feet through my attic, and down the wall to the carpet, under the carpet, and to the 360.

Early on I had painted the wires the color of my wall. Hardwire also prevents packet loss. The wire cost me 15 bucks. I saved 85 dollars plus tax.

Now, it wasn't easy, but it really only took me about 15 minutes of planning and 20 minutes of doing. However, I'm a DIY'r.

If you're not, I'd probably just buy the wireless thing, lol.

I'm not saying this as a common alternative, or viable excuse for the wireless not being included, lol, I'm just saying that if you do buy a 360, don't immediately wave off a hardwire. It's not as much work as it sounds, and you'll end up with a slightly better connection.
