LOVE MY XBOX 360, I got it the day it came out and it was well worth waiting 7 hrs in line at my Local Sams Club to get the Premium Package...

Games that I have:

Call Of Duty 2 (Play alot)
Full Auto (rarely play)
EA Sports NBA 2006 (rarely play)
NHL 2k6 (play alot)
NCAA 2k6 (play alot)
FIFA 2006 (play alot)
Tiger Woods 2006 (rarely play)
Halo 2 (old xbox) (never played yet)
Madden 2006 (play alot)

Games that I should have but dont have any extra $$$ to spend on:

Oblivion
GRAW (Ghost Recon)

My wife kinda has me on hold with buying anymore games... We are remodeling the house (new countertops, sinks, deck, backyard, etc...) so thats priority... I am so into gaming its not even funny...

I am looking to sell my NBA 2006 game, I played it like 6 times and just dont enjoy it as much as my college game... I cant return it (already open) and I dont want to piss it away... If anyone wants it for $40 (instead of the original $60), Ill send it their way... pm me and we could work a paypal payment or whatever...

Nintendo is to busy bitching about how Microsoft put out a new console to fast and was suppose to wait 3 more years. And then they develop corny things like that weird ass controller the revolution is suppose to have.

In all honesty the only thing that does save them is they were around first so they have things like Mario to fall back on. Although I don't like any of the new Mario games they've made. In the end thier game library from the first Nintendo will save the revolution as there are enough people that dig playing old games to go buy it just for that.

Argh.........the 2k NBA game is 10000 times better than the EA one you got the wrong game. If you had that one you could import your guys from NCAA to the NBA like I do.

I have
NBA 2k6
NCAA2k6
Ghost Recon
Call of Duty
Perfect Dark 2

I also need to pick up Oblivion.

By the way NCAA question is it just me or is it nearly impossible to beat UCONN on there? They scored 80 points on me in a half and were shooting 35-46.......I got so pissed I just quit and turned it off. I consider that extremely unfair.

carlos3652 · 04-07-2006, 11:11 PM

Old school nintendo rocks... the only Mario game I liked was the original...
duck hunt, duck tales, mickey and minnies adventures, etc...

I am 24, and I grew up using Atari @ 6, Nintendo @ 8, switching to Sony @ 16, switching to Microsoft @ 19...

I know what you mean on the EA game, I dont know if I could pick up the NBA 2k6, Im still pissed off about the EA game, it kinda made me hate the NBA...

My Bro in law has Perfect Dark 2, I hate it, he doesnt like it either... what do you think...?

I havent played UCONN yet, I am on Legacy, and havent scheduled them yet, I am having issues beating the away teams on All-Conference, I played on Starter for the first 4-5 games and was winning by 20 points... On All Conference I lose about 75% of the games vs higher overall... I like the challenge...

Perfect Dark is alright, I don't hate.

I understand wanting a challenge but I don't think losing 85-40 at halftime is my idea of a challenge. They run down the floor pass it twice and shoot it. They take no time off the clock, run and never miss any shots. It's extremely ridiculous and frustrating.

I have:

Gun
CODII
Tiger Woods 06
Fight Night (rocks)
AND just started on Blazing Angels.

So far Woods is ok but the online play sucks as your routed through an EA server that consistantly drops you. I'm pretty much hooked on BA right now as the online play is just as good as playing a campaign.

The only thing I would suggest to pick up in addition to your xbox is an HD tv or LCD monitor for your system...The difference is unreal....

All that best buy had was the core system. I probably could have gotten a better deal elsewhere, but I wanted to use my best buy reward zone thing.....oh well

Wow dude, you got taken.

The Premium System is $400 and includes the HD cables and the hard drive.

Plus the premium system comes with a wireless controller instead of a wired controller.

People are getting desperate...

I traded in my old xbox plus games and spent a mere $64.00 and change on the premium package plus a game. BUT since then:

LCD Monitor $189.00
Face plate $20.00
Wireless Ant. $100.00 (freakn rip off)

Total for me so far $373.00

~I know I should count the old stuff I traded but that wouldn't be any fun~

You know that reminds me....There's a dipshit manager at gamestop that I got off on the wrong foot with since my Xbox arrived. I was browsing the store the day before yesterday and saw GR used so I picked it up and told him to hold it for me while I go home and get a game I got a christmas to trade in...He says no problem so and I run home and back only to find the fugger sold it while I was gone. I swear I'm gonna beat the prick if I see him outside the store.

I thought it was a game that made the controller continually vibrate?

Well the reason Nintendo is still sticking around is because they absolutely own the handheld market. Even after Sony basically made a portable PS2, Nintendo's little "barely better than N64" Dual Screen is still destroying the PSP in sales worldwide.
