Title: FAO Xbox 360 folk
Post by: Samdy Gray on Sunday, May 6, 2007, 15:36:59
Probably going to buy one of these tomorrow, it's for the missus' birthday but obviously I'm buying it for myself  :P

Anyway, where can I get a good deal? Seen a few about town around £250 which includes controllers/cables/memory card and 2 shit games.

What HDD do they come with as standard? and what size memory card do I realistically need?

Any help appreciated

If you get the premium one, it comes with a 20GB HDD, wireless controller, all neccesary cables and two games. I got mine with Brian Lara and Pro Evo for £280.

Toys R' Us usually have good deals on, give them a go.

p.s you dont need a memory card, just make sure you get the premium bundle as the HDD enables you to save all your games.

I just bought a gamecube with a gameboy player, controller and memory thing. for a tenner. Took a lend of my mates copy of ocarina of time too. I'll be chipping down to gamestation tomorrow to get some cheap gamecube action. Being a few years behind everybody is ace.

I remember trying to play it a while back but just getting annoyed with it and going back to the original game boy one. Fancy giving it a proper go now though.

before I bought my Wii with the new Zelda I broke out my N64 and OOT and decided to start from scratch......got into it right away.

Still play my N64 more than my Wii

I was thinking of getting a Wii, but I think people just like it for the novelty factor of chucking the remote around.

Just need an HD TV to go with the 360 now...

Wooooot! I killed the Deku Tree. He claims he was going to die anyway but I reckon it was my hacking at his insides and setting fire to stuff and fighting his pet giant spider. He's so scared he's giving me a magic stone. yey.

hahaha, she was waiting for me on the way out. She's given me an ocarina. Guessing from the title, I think it's going to be important. I'm going to right a song.

No angry goodbye elf sex? flammableLink is a fucking pussy. She blatantly wanted it but he just runs away. I'm forcing him to go back.

Post by: Red81 on Monday, May 7, 2007, 20:06:45
Ben you have to stop now. Youve convinced me to start playing, but you're gonna ruin the story for me. I swear Link boned that elf bitch

I just went back to the village and he's blown it. Even after playing her a funky tune on the ocarina she gave me she just keeps going on about being friends. For some reason it won't let me hit her over the head with a stick. Rubbish.

hahahahaha. Some giant owl just came a long and started telling me what to do. I'm going to have my sling shot out next time. I ain't taking no orders from a fucking owl.


Title: FAO Xbox 360 folk
Post by: hansgruber on Monday, May 7, 2007, 21:43:06
That owl put me right off OOT. The old Gameboy ones were the best. Apart from A Link To The Past on the SNES of course


Title: FAO Xbox 360 folk
Post by: flammableBen on Monday, May 7, 2007, 21:49:29
Link to the past on snes, and links awakening on the game boy are definitely the best two. I am rather enjoying outrageous of this game though.

You brake into a castle to confront a princess because a dead tree and an owl told you too. Think that would hold up in a sex offender trial?

The one on the Wii's pretty good, although I haven't got very far yet.
