There's a glitch on the Pub Games thing apparently, you can win 1000s quite easily. Haven't tried it myself and won't say what it is to spoil it for everyone, but it's pretty easy to find out.

We've been 'enjoying' that one this morning. I suspect a title update is in the offing fairly soon...

Spoiler: show
I'm assuming you are referring to the Fortune's Tower exploit? I'm using it for the tournaments there but trying to play normally otherwise.

I completely revise my opinion of Pub Games. Apart from the dice game (Which I can't get into) it's an awful lot of fun. Spinnerbox is a bit frustrating until you realise it doesn't matter how much you lose until you get 5 star and open the last few games. At which point it only take a few strokes of luck to win really big.

I currently have about 90k gold. The tournaments are pretty frustrating though.

Please consider me for a code if you get some more. Thanks muchly!

I think I'm getting a 360 for my birthday on Thursday and won't have any games at all (apart from Hexic) so anything I can get hold of will make the difference between having a nice shiny machine and nothing to do with it or having a machine and actually being able to use it. :D

Plenty of good, cheap XBLA games available. I even heard that someone around here wrote one :)

Don't you have internet access for it to connect to Live and download a metric fuckload of demos and XBLA games?

I'm hoping I can get a ethernet cable set up from the living room into the kitchen where the router is... then it's just a matter of saving up my pocket money for some points.

Definitely will be grabbing some demos for now - there are some I've been aching to play for a long time. ;)

The amount of demos available could keep you going for months.

Bit disappointed with Bionic Commando though. Had been really looking forward to this, but it just doesn't seem to flow for me like the original did. Right now it's not getting my 800 points, but I shall give the demo another try in a moment...

I've ordered a 10 meter ethernet cable from eBay, hopefully that will do the trick or I'm buggered... not literally, but will be disappointed if the cable is not long enough. :D

Have you thought about buying the wireless adapter?

Not even for a second. It's like £50+ and the £3.99 for the cable was pushing it with my finances.

I'm only managing to get an Xbox 360 because everyone I know is putting my birthday money together and getting me one between them.

I'm poorer than a church mouse til I can find another job and living on my wife's charity and being a kept man right now.

Hopefully that will change though. "Giz a job" etc.

Ah I see. Fair enough then. Well as everyone says. If you manage to get it hooked up there's a hell of a lot of demos you can download and play. Also don't forget it'll happily play xvids and divx files.

Anime fansub heaven! :D

I love slapping .avi files onto a memory stick and watching them through the 360. Anime or regular tv, it's one of the greatest extra features in a console ever.
