sweet, one more person playing more and a larger variety of games, always a good thing.

I'm planning on buying a 360 in about 8 months... god it's gonna be fun playing that awesome backlog of games :)



Currently dreaming of: DKC4 or Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (classic 2D platformers) for WiiWare, Smash Bros. for DSi, New Super Mario World for DSi, a Wii remake or true sequel of Final Fantasy Tactics.

One down, hopefully more awesomeness to come.

^just be careful of the achievements--they are like crack if you get hooked

It is the same with Trophies! I love getting them on the PS3

 

 

It's different, Achievements are the original thing so every.single.game has 'em. Every first party and third party game, even old.

 

Congrats man, but you have a HUGE backlog of games, and I mean HUGE. Not to mention E3 coming up, where Microsoft are saving megaton announcements. On top of already having a PS3, you're gonna have a long way to go to play all these games..

Yeah i know what you mean! I already have a lot of games to get through, let alone all the games i am going to have to buy for the 360... Got Resident Evil 5 free with the console but think i will sell that as not really wanting to play the game!

I am now the owner of a 360 Elite as of today, i decided that i was sick of the lack of SE support on the PS3 and bought myself one!

I, surprisingly, got a free pack with the console which included a second wireless controller and also a copy of Resident Evil 5 (all free )

I also bought Mass Effect (since i have heard all the good news about the game so thought i would see what the fuss is all about!

My gamertag is Squall4ever


congrats and welcome to the elite world :)

Install Mass Effect. It makes the experience much better.

I have noticed that even with installing the game to the HDD some parts of the game are still rather slow... then again you can't expect miracles from installing lol! When playing Mass Effect it sounded like my 360 was about to take off, had to turn the TV up so i could hear what the captain guy was saying lol!

I think the game was designed around having elevators go that slow, that's why you would hear news and stuff while you were in there.

So it's kind of like halo were some parts were optimized for the disc.

Ah i see!

Well i also bought Lost Odyssey, surprised the game is 4 disks long!! I mean i dread to think what FFXIII is going to be like on the 360!

Good thing is that i have the 360 for the 360 only games and the PS3 for multiplatform games, as well as PS3 exclusives of course

Best of both worlds!
