Okay folks, I noticed we have like 4 seperate threads going on 360 stuff, so let's just keep it all in here.

Here's the info on the systems.

Here's the info on backwards compatibility.

Here's the games available.

Here's the games coming.

Today I was looking around to see if anyone had the 360 Wireless Adapter for Live yet, they run $99, but they plug right in and require no power cord. Anyways, I found this...

Like the 360 remote wasn't nice enough, check this bastard out. It's called the Harmony 360, and will control your living room.






Here's another site that got theirs and allready dissasembled it.

dang. I'm pretty sure that remote needs to be disassembled and the LED's replaced with some nice shiney blue ones fing02.gif
I'm not a huge gamer, or a huge microsoft fan, but this XBOX 360 looks apealing

Heh, I'll send my remote off to 01Tibby to get the LED's replaced. LOL

Anyways, what keeps getting me is the Media Center thing.

I have wireless networking in my house and now I will be able to play my MP3's, videos, slideshows, whatever, from my PC to my Livingroom. No issues at all.

Seeing those guys on G4 TV hooking up everything from USB Thumb Drives to a PSP to play music direct over the 360, man, I can't wait.

Those are actually not comfy if you sit in one more than 10 minutes and they break easily. I wouldn't mind going and getting a recliner from Ikea though. Maybe that'll be for Santa to bring me. lol.

don't quote the post directly above you

I bought 2 of them today, and they are very comfy. I sat my 250 pound ass in them for about 3 hours, and it's still in one piece.

I think you are thinking of their older model, it used to fall apart.

Maybe I am because I am 2 and a half myself and it was painful for anything more than 30 minutes.

We got all the games and stuff in at Best Buy. Hell, we have the systems in, we just can't sell them yet.

I'm so happy that Pelican made a wood grain faceplate. fing02.gif

I just set-up my new gamer tag, "CCCP."

I about flipped when it didn't say it was taken. All you guys better be ready on live, because the red scare is coming for you.



I can't wait for Call of Duty 2, playing online with the name CCCP. hahaha.

A few questions.....IF you get the Xbox 360 core sysyem, that doesn't come with a hard drive correct? If not how are you able to save games? Is thre an internal HD like the original Xbox?

Question #2 - The emulator that you need to get to play original Xbox games, where and how do you get this? And do each individual game need there own emulator?

These may be newb questions geared at the 360, but I need a little clarification.


P.S - XBOX ROCKS ALL. lol
