BigCajones Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Who's bought an X-Box? What do you mean, I was advising Zidane to get one. I hope X-Box Live will be a success :) *looks for cheap memory card* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue] Oh, I thought you meant SSJ. Zidane, while owning a GCN and a PS2, I wouldn't recommend an Xbox, because you're not missing out on much, if you have 2 of the 3 leading consoles. You don't really need all three of them.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 I still will get xbox live just for the plain fact that i think it will be really cool and im not entirely bothered about the price of it although the subscription thing is a bit annoying and i also need to get a memory card and would like an extra controller or two as well incase i play multi player games.

Bing Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue] If I had broadband, then I would get in no questions asked. But because I don't, I am stuck ,because it would mean paying out for broadband, monthly and installment, paying for Live starter set, AND then paying the subscribtion. Unless you already have broadband, then it's a hell of a lot to pay.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 Yeah i understand as like most broadbands are very expensive i don't know exactly how much mine is a month but its like double or something of how much you have to pay for the normal internet.

Bing Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue] Broadband is great 'n' all, but I'm not going to loose sleep over not having it! I would rather buy a couple of System link ups, and have a gathering of people to play a huge game of whatever, and just kick some butt![/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 I want to play Halo or something like that in 16 player link up it would be soo cool but you would like need 4 of everything and 16 controllers which would be quite hard i suppose.

Bing Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue] Vercetti, we have to do that at my house, I have two screens at my place. I just got to get my hands on a system link-up cable. Anyway, back to the topic, I am going to bring up another subject for discussion. Has anybody here even dented there 5000+ memory or whatever it is?[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 what do you mean dented it? i have used like about 10 or something of it but it really confuses me and yeah that would be cool to do link up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue] Go to 'Memory' and look around on that, and somewhere it should say 'Blocks left', and mine just says 5000+, even though I have 5 game saves, and 3 soundtracks! I have a weird feeling, that it will all suddenly dissappear, and I will be left with no memory on my system.

Tommy Vercetti Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Hmm... ok i will try that and sometimes when i save games it says i have saved but my memory thing says 50,000 free blocks left which is strange like what you are saying.

Bing Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue] I just had one the shocks of my life. I decided to post it in here, because this is holding information about the Xbox in general. [center][b]WARNING![/b][/center] When transporting your Xbox, NEVER leave a game in the tray. I did this accidentally, and when setting my Xbox up at a different location, the disc tray opened, and my disc managed to sneak it's way out, and fell backwards into the hollow plastic shell. The 'eject' button was flashing green and orange, and I was panicking. However, after about 15 minutes of shaking and spinning and ejecting, with the help of my stepdad, I recovered my disc, which escaped with a minor scratch. I was very scared, and I strongly doubt it did my 'box any good. You have been warned. LoL.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 hmmm i will keep that in mind as i usually transport my xbox to a different location each week, and also if you are playing the xbox you shouldnt move it while it is on with a disc in because it can get damaged and i only moved it once by mistake so i hope its ok but i think it is as nothing has gone wrong yet, and has anyones xbox frozen when they have been playing a game? mine hasn't which i am glad of.

Bing Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue] I was told that the X Box freezed up and crashes regularly, but mine hasn't yet, so I guess that's either only a rumour, or true to the earlier systems. Nothing like that has ever happened on any game, and none of my friend's have experienced it either. Ah Well[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Does anyone know whether you need to buy the dvd kit to play dvd's or can you just use the controller to select things and play etc. On the ps2 you can just use the controller but im not sure about the xbox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue] No, unfortuanetlewy you have to purchase the Offical DVD Remote to play DVD's on the X Box. This annoyed me, because the remote it's self is actually a) ugly and b) expensive. I guess it's Bill Gates way of pulling in a little extra cash. On the topic of DVD's; If you buy a DVD Region X disc, you can play DVD's from all over the world, meaning cheaper purchases. Has anyone got this and does it really work?[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 The first part is really annoying but the second part sounds very interesting if it works as i think i will have to get this. I saw once there was like a world region disc for the Ps2 or something so i think their should be one for the xbox. I may have a look round for one or maybe people in computer shops will no more information or perhaps the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue]There is one for the X Box, hence what I just said. It's called 'DVD Region X' disc. It doesn't involve any adjustments to your U.K system, just a disk before you play the DVD. I think this gives you a wider range of DVD's, plus at a cheaper price. They sell them in mail-order magazines, try Special Reserve, I know they have it in there[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Yeah i will look on the special reserve website as my 2 year subscription with them has expired and i can't be bothered to re-new it. This DVD Region X disc sounds good as that would mean you would able to get foreign films which would be out before they are in england if i am correct. I also saw this deal for the link cable for about £7.99 in GAME, but that might have stopped as it was in the sales so im not sure. There was also this thing for £40 which is like a complete link cable thing, it includes 4 link cables and this like machine thing that connects them all up, it was rather strange. Its easier to see it to understand i think though lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue] Yes, I saw that, it's very cool. It's basically all you need to play a 16 player game. It has a device in the middle, to activate which consoles are in the actual game. It sounds very fun. Has anybody actually play this yet? And if so, do you both need copies of the game?[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCajones Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 That 'DVD Region X' is on the PS2 too and you can get them for normal DVD players so not much new there really. That multi-player system looks damn confusing, but really fun if you have the room to play it in on. I don't think many people will get it, but if theres X-Box competition days or fun days I'm sure they will have it there to let friends or experienced players go head to head with many! :excited: That would be amazing on several games, but once again other consoles can do this. It's still amazing though! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue][b]X Box Screen?![/b] O.k, o.k, so, I've heard of it before, but never actually seen one. These really do look good, better speakers etc. than others! This could also make system link-ups easier, as you wouldn't have to bring loads of T.Vs! I can't find the damn picture now, so have a look yourselfs ^_^;;;[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 You were talking to me about that earlier alexus. I think it does sound pretty cool and if its like the width of the xbox like you said then it would sort of like a 14" tv screen added to it. I haven't actually heard about this myself, where did you find the information from so i can check it out also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue]THe guy has copyrighted the damn picture, so I can't copy it! Check out the X Box section on Ebay.co.uk![/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Oh right cool thanx Alexus, they actually have some pretty good deals on Ebay lol sorry this thread isn't really about Ebay but hey. Does the Xbox have a sound system like you could buy for the ps2? does anyone know what i mean or am i just completely on the wrong planet because im not exactly sure to be honest.
