My new 360 last night. Set it up. Its the whole 60gb, wasn't going to shell out for 60gb extra and a HDMI cable.

Pretty happy at the moment.

Good for you, but why didn't you pick up a game? There are plenty of decent games for the 360 that are cheap now.

Cyber, outside of Fable 2, try and pick up Tales of Vesperia. It's fantastic.

Because it was package deal. So I ordered them both as a bunlde and there just holding it till Tuesday. But its cool, I picked up Gears of War and Lost Odyssey both £30 at Gamestation.

Ditto, Crackdown is one of the most enjoyable games you'll ever play. It's one of the worst decisions ever to not make a sequel to that game.

[Susperium]

Congrats man, add me too mate on the 360 Susperium

TOV will be out soon but just not yet here in the UK I want that game too so much along with Fullout 3 <3

EDIT : With the 60GB you can use HDMI, deffinatly get the cable as the difference compared to component is so vast it is unreal ^^ I used the Component that come with the 360, then used that up untill a few days ago when people in here where saying it is alot better, so thought ok i check it, and got this one



http://www.qed-cable-shop.co.uk/Vide...f9783f604e5c18

and the way it changed the picture is just scary, i have a good Samsung LCD screen and i allways felt that the Dashboard in the 360 was alittle soft focused, then i use this cable and added alittle more colour on the tv and WOW, even my Achievments on the 360 Dashboard are so sharp and all the fluffy text is now sharp too, so it is like going from standered tv to HD just useing HDMI :P



EDIT 2 : *runs off with evil laughter* If you want a cheep one then Game, the shop in the UK do a Sony PS3 HDMI for £15.00 and this will be fantastic too <(^.^)>

[SharkOutofWater]

Playing ToV as soon as I finish up with Lost Odyssey. If you like RPG's it is a must.

Mate, I was just going to say, some of the text on the Dashboard is very soft and also when someone comes online. I really need some definition Besides I need 2 cables for my PS3 and 360.

EDIT - I also need to know, my XBOX is brand new, like you guys know. But when LO is in it makes a tremendous noise. I was reading on the net this is the norm with some. Also people are saying it depends on the game and because this was an early-ish game its understandable. But the noise is really noticable.

ltry this way

If your useing cmponent and you have a HDTV, then while the 360 is on on the end of the comonent leed switch the HDMI switch to normal TV, then on the 360 console go into Dashboard and then goto the end to your right of the Dashvoard, then go into Console Settings / Display /HDTV Settings then select your optium output, (mine is 720P for my setup, when i get my new one it will be set to 1080P for what the TV can do) then still with the 360 on, switch the switch on the component leed to HDTV and you will see a *do you want me to keep these settings* say yes, then the 360 will restart and everything will run in HDTV - 60HZ, then get the HDMI leed.

EDIT : while your doing this set your tv to 60hz in the 360 then never think about it again

EDIT 2 : i need two cables as well, with the PS3 but my TV cant take it like your, so i just switch the cables till i get my new TV >>>>>> Link




EDIT 3 : It sounds like a lawn mower when playing LO and thats even with my brand new 60GB, Welcome to the club

LOL I asked that very question a couple of months ago Cyber. Lost Odyssey makes the 360 sound like a Jet engine is taking off. It's fine, don't worry.

[Plazaskater]

congratulations man..the 360 is a great machine and has some good exclusives..if you like rpgs you should try mass effect it is really good and halo 3

[-PuReOwNaGe1994]

Congatulations on your purchase man!

Must admit you gotta pick up Dead Rising and Crackdown also well done on getting Gears.

[coolguy]

congrats on your new 360... plz tell us what is the build date and lot number...
you can get a cheap hdmi cable from monopirce .com

[tmacfan4321]

Monoprice is the way to go for cables. Don't spend any extra if you aren't buying a cord that is longer than a few meters. A digital signal is a digital signal, no matter what cord you use.

[Cyb3rHav0k]

I'll get you guys added tomorrow.

But, I made a mistake I have to wait till Friday for Fable, with living in the United Kingdom.

But, Lost Odyssey looks like its going to be awesome so far eventhough I played 35 mins.

And Gears is hard when you've had a couple to drink. I need to change the sensitivity of the controller or something.

I cant find it, there was a video on You Tube that was a manager of Monster cables doing a speech on the best cable to get and why theres is the best, then some TV Watchdog program grabed that video and got a sientist in to do a check on a $200.00 Monster cable and $10.00 BestBuy cable and the syentist said that there both exactly the same, and even when they showed him the Monster cable video, he said i really dont know how they got hat info :P

Edit : Cyb3rHav0k

Thats why i had some trubble with giving you the info, 6 pints of cider and snooker then i reply to your post >.< hope i helped some what and LO is the best RPG on the 360 so far.

[Carsonal]

Try looking into Ace Combat 6.

[Outrage]

LO is the best RPG on the 360 so far.

I have to disagree there. IMO, ToV is easily the best RPG on the console. The gameplay is just sick and there are a ton of things to do.

lol Just cause you bought a HD tv doesn't mean your watching in HD.

Unless......Your saying thats the difference it makes but then it don't make sense to me?....WoW lol I just confused my self.
