Bought an XBox 360

I also have (or have had) PGR3, Condemned, GR:AW, Kameo, Tiger Woods 2006, PDZ, DOA4, BF2, Moto GP, Fifa:RTWC, FN3, and I would not recommend purchasing any of those games. I just don't enjoy many of them for more than a week or so. PDZ, DOA4, and TW2K6 are definitely the worst out of those however. Condemned is cool but very short, and no replay value. FN3 is very basic and just gets old quick.

I really really liked Kameo. In fact, I think it is my fav. 360 game. I am a big Rare fan though so that might help. I highly suggest at least trying Kameo to anyone who hasn't. And you can buy it new for $30 now also. Oh it was way way too short though. I beat it in around 7 hours

My must haves are:
Kameo, COD2, Oblivion and GRAW.

sorry but nothing comes close to GT's car dynamics and feel.

Good stuff guys.

Also, how am I going to get the 360 online? I'm assuming I need to setup a network through the computer then connect the 360 to it.

Just get a router if you don't already have one. Plug your modem, PC, and 360 into that.

My modem is upstairs in my room. The 360 is downstairs hooked up the 52" DLP and 6.1 surround sound.

Do you notice any "controller lag" on the DLP? On my XBOX with my DLP I noticed a slight delayfrom when I pushed a control to the actual response on the game. Noticeable most on racing/sports type games.

Guess we'll see what happens when Forza 2 is released.

Just got in on the recent Overstock deal as well. $312 shipped 😀

Lotos of great game suggestions in here. Gonna pick up Perfect Dark Zero and Fightnight 3...then of course Forza 2 when it comes out 🙂

What are the cheapest options for wireless networking on the Xbox 360? I don't wanna spring $100 for the official Microsoft unit. Can anyone recommend a good 802.11g wireless bridge that works or any other solution?

two wrt54g's and the hacked firmware. That's what I did in my townhouse where I didn't want to run copper.




That being said - run copper. It will make your life easier in the long run. One idea that's better than wireless is take a bar of soap, and throw it through the vents (with a string attached) then pull the cat5 with the string that is now through your vent. If you're handy (or if you care at all..) you can then run it up the wall (seal the hole you'll cut in the ductwork with silicone)
