Yep. Working for 4 days, and Buying an Xbox, and Other stuff for it *Cough*Modchip*Cough*.


Not getting XBL though. Wasn't that all impressed by it from trying my Cousins.

I mean come on...$5 for DDR songs or $5 for a couple of maps. That all adds up, I think it's not worth it. Xbox is basically a PC, so It should be treated like one. As in Free downloads for maps, and custom stuff. Anyways, Getting an Xbox.



Halo 2 baby!!

Halo 2 baby!!

Great! I really haven't rented a PS2 or 'Cube game since I got my XBox. And don't forget Doom3 and Half Life 2 for the XBox (I won't sink all of that money into my comp to run those games PC-wise)

What games are you planning to buy on it?

None if ya know what I mean. ;)



But yeah. Half-Life 2 is going to have different features than the PC Version. I'll pick up both.

HL2 on PC as you know, will have a Developer's kit. Captain M4d and I are probably going to start our Game company using this. Hopefully making a full mod of Half-Life 2 including Maps Made by us. :D

But yeah.. For games, all the good ones. ;) KOTOR 1 and 2, Halo 1 and 2, Fable, Project Gotham 2 etc.


All the games My cousin has. ;)

Yeah, I might try playing with Valve Hammer Editor right now, and make some single player maps for Half-Life pretty soon.
To stay on topic, I am looking forward to play Fable.

Yeah man. Half-Life 2 is going to rule all.

Fable, yes man. And that "Patched" DOA: XBV...

It's not sad. It's pretty funny.

Why not get the game what it was created for? :)


Anyways, I can't wait.

What I laugh at is you wanna get Halo 2, but not XBL...that's the only reason to have Halo 2.

Plus not all downloads cost $5...only the crappy ones. I've gotten Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six 3, Midtown Madness 3 and Unreal Championship downloads for free...you need to do more research.

Octocamo
07-23-2004, 10:20 PM
Right.

The only person that I would play with online is my cousin. It's called System link. ;)

Anyways, I prefer online gaming on the PC. Much better than any Service you have to pay for.

And don't say well they have MMMORPG's...One reason why I don't play those.

I'm basically poor.

Halo 2 has much more than just XBL. XBL sucks IMO.

AliasOfWestgate

PC Online service is like Sony's Playstation online strategy...no organization. XBL has it so that all your games are used under one name. And you'd only wanna play your cousin? Granted public games are retarted, but that XBL Lounge at this site is there for a reason.

Course lack of funds does suck ass. Perhaps XBL for your birthday or Christmas then...I mean it's only $50 a year, not $10 or $12 a month like MMOPRGs.

Besides you only played XBL over your cousin's house I take it right? What games over live did you try?

Octocamo
07-23-2004, 10:32 PM
Yeah, I like that feature about the names. But I use the same name on everything anyways. :P I have PS2 Online, and use solisnk for everything. Also PC games.

He brought it over here. I play Project Gotham Racing 2, and Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow (Bought it for PS2)

I may get it for Christmas. Or get a trial subscription. But still, $5 for some tracks and cars. 2 packs with in a month. I can't afford that. By that time it's like a $70 game. But it sucks, Because I didn't have some of the cars or tracks, so I couldn't race in certain places. Same thing in Pandora, Didn't have 2 of the levels (I think). But I think DDR is the most rip off part.

Anyways, I wasn't really impressed with the XBL Service, Although the mic is a hella lot better than my Socom mic. :P

Anyways, If Halo 2 has a XBL Special thing, I may try it out.

Yea maybe for PGR2, but I have never paid for ANY of my downloads and I've gotten a ton...it all depends on the game.

MM3 > PGR2 anyday.

MM3 has a shopping cart for free download. Shopping cart.

Halo Master Chief

HAH, you are a true idiot to mod your xbox. Unless you get two... but anyway, modding it means no live and live is a must for Halo 2, do you know how lonely you'll be, idiot. Oh btw, PGR2, pandora, links, and i think mechassault are like the only things you pay for, im sure there's more, but this is just from the top of my head.... and pgr2 is dun, imo, since I am of course, so good at it. :-P

It's called a switch. If you saw it on Tech TV. You turn your mods off, and then play. Who's the idiot now? ;)

Lol Alias. MM3 Does look like more fun than Project Gotham.
At least in Midtown Madness you drive in the streets with other "people". Makes it more fun.

But GT4 > All Racing Games

Won't need to download cars with the 700+ Cars. :D

I haven't payed for any XBL downloads, I only go for the free stuff lol. You don't HAVE to buy the downloads that cost.

All the great games and graphics of the Xbox that I don't have access to on my PC.

My PC has a Nvidia Geforce 2 MX400 64mb video card, 256mb DDR Ram, and a 1.8ghz celeron processor. Think I can run Doom 3 on it with satisfaction?

I don't think I can run Xbox games on my PC either.

Why Mod it you ask? Much better modded. More like a Cheap PC. It has a web browser, emulators such as PS1 with enhanced graphics. The questions is, Why the fuck not mod an Xbox?

Ok buddy. That's why You play off the PS1 game disc. I use an emulator on my PC for PS1 so I can play the games online. I own every single one of them.


Modding your Xbox isn't illegal either, just voids your warranty.

I've read up on this stuff so I should know it.

Ok man. You got me. Gonna call the cops? Mine as well do it to the rest of the Modding Xbox Community such as BlackWolf because it's so "illegal".


Anyways, Modding your Xbox, chips come with a legal Linux bios called Cromwell. Contains no MS code.


When you Put an Xecuter bios on which 99% do, that makes it technically illegal...But no one really gives a shit except people like you Music fan.

Aw man, you should also customize it. Paint it ans stuff. I did, but cost me like $200.

Only premium thing Ive bought from it was the Project Gotham Racing 2 Paris course. It was only 5 bucks, and worth it.

im thinking about buying the two pandora tomorrow maps... but when I think of it, I only have 2 maps down in memory so far... so it isn't worth it yet to purchase them.

07-25-2004, 12:30 PM
that is true. im comin up on i think 3 years of live here and its all been worth it. it keeps up the replay ability in most of my games so the money i payed for them goes a while.

Xbox Live not worth $50 a year? That is just absurd. A measly $50 a year to be able to play Xbox games online, download content, have voice chat which hell is practically a free long distance phone service with the option for conferencing.... yeah what was I thinking, IT'S A TOTAL WASTE!! :smt012

Just found out... 1.6 with a chip, you need to rebuild the LPC or something. Looks like I'm not getting Live. :D

But Connect will work.
