The 360 thread!

[Meow]

No price increase here in Canada. 110 pounds for a brand new 360 arcade or a refurb for 45 pounds.

I would guess that there not Jasper 360's

Can anyone help here.

A friend of mine in the UK has signed up for a US XBLA account and has some US XBLA points to redeem BUT when he tries to do this he keeps getting a message complaining about origin country/region and won't let him continue - Any ideas on what might not be right here?

Thanks

Why did he sign up for a US account and not a UK one?

AFAIK, each region is treated separately, so he'll only be able to use the points on a US machine/account.

That's just clearing out the old stock, last week I heard the price of Arcades was due to go up here too and the basic Elite package will drop to $329.99CAD (with tax it works out about £260).

The new Jasper Arcades with 512MB of storage are increasing in price and the Elites are to drop in price. The Pros are to be discontinued. The Natal package is supposed to be the new high-end package.

Ta for the tip-off. It's like an off-its-rocker, bargain-basement Crimsonland. That'll do for me.

Microsoft Points are only regionalised by account, not machine. You can use points on any machine so long as you are using the correct region account.

I wasn't sure about the mchine, hence the '/'.

teamonkey's 360 demo capsule review.

Lost Planet 2: awesome
Shadow Complex: shitbox

[Jamesac]

You must really have a thing for shitboxes, because Shadow Complex is fantastic. I'll try not to be judgemental about your admitted fecalphelia, though.

Ewww....

I enjoyed the demo of Shadow Complex. Just Metroid really innit?

Aiming's a bit twitchy though.

Sold.

[Hmm... I wonder how many people have spotted my avatar's origin.]

Level-up... precision improves. At least that's what the text says.

Right stick lets you aim with a laser sight. It's easier to headshot the enemies than run up and punch them.

It is Metroid. I like Metroid. I also like how it compares how many headshots, punts and melee kills you have to people on your friends list. I'm behind on face punching.
