I swore to myself last time, "No more consoles!", damn expensive time consuming plastic boxes. At the launch of the PS2 i picked one up for the princley sum of £320. I then over the course of about 2 years spent countless thousands on games, ending up with a collection in the region of 500. Sold it all many moons ago and got into PC gaming, and loved it, and swore to never agin get a console.

Recently i came into posession of a 360, thought "why not lets see if its any good". And balls! It's GREAT

Now naysayers please bear in mind, i never had an xbox, nor did i have the PS2 when online play was introduced, in fact bar a few FPS PC games ive hated the online gaming concept, always preferring my own company when absorbed in a game, ive also never had media features such as streaming, downloading and custom soundtracks . Well after blitzing through PGR3 in just over a day and unlockingmost of the treats, feeling smug and confident i took up my LIVE gold trial and set about racing online for a laugh.

Well i sucked, badly. Lost 2 races because i hate the nurburgring with a fury, forgot my controller was wireless and threw it over my head smashing a teapot on the mantle, stupid invention. And in the end stayed up till 6am racing with a bunch of rather humerous americans, enjoying jiving along to all my own tunes in the races.

Its great! The way Live! works is great! The machine is great! The headset chatter is great! The racing is great! It's all just great! I would love more than anything to hate it, to trash it and want to sell it and go back to PC. In fact that WAS my intention, up until i decided to buy a 12month live sub another w/less controller, 2 charge packs and a wireless net adapter.

The only crap part imo is that the HDD is so small, in this terabyte drive era we should get more than 13 poxy gig.

So for anyone who cares, my gamer handle majiggy is 'Ultra Extreme' (surprise) and i play PGR mainly. What a great product!
 
hahaha sounds like me rofl

Awesome aint it nothing like flying around london or wizzing past the bright lights of vegas in a mclaren f1 with ya own music playing out :D

No doubt people will be on 2night m8 so add ya name to the PGR3 race 2night list and u can join some ocukers always a good laugh :D

Altho one [point, using controllers for fps SUCKS! just had a go at PD Zero and by christ! Im like a surgeon with advanced parkinsons! Although i used to do okay in games like Q3 on the PS2 im finding it really really hard to play this, hopefully ill re-adapt, geuss ive played PC too long, hope they bring out a mouse and kb :(

Just get a load of us lot on your friends list and add ocuk into your motto for good measure, and people will add you when they need people fore a race :) That reminds me I havent been on PGR for ages, will have to put that right this weekend!
 
I played Unreal 2 on my laptop yesterday, first game I've played on my PC for a few weeks (being playing on the 360 ;)), and I couldn't aim that well at all. Used to the 360 controller it would seem :p

Can't get enough of Full Auto at the mo. I can't stop playing it! Help!
 
Anyone know how to stop the GF moaning about you playing it, ive tried rebooting her with sexual attention, ive defragged her with chocolate and spyware scanned her with some new shoes and nada, zip, nowt, she still moans every time i say "just one more lap". Surely theres an answer?

Yes it's called Kameo but it does backfire because it means you may never get to play on the Xbox 360 again.
 
The default PDZ control setup is crap! Don't use that as a benchmark for console FPS games, it's poor :(
