    Mine isn't an Elite model either.

    Halo is always a good place to start, seeing as you can pick it up for peanuts now.

    I was just wondering. I didn't know if it was the atmosphere, the music, the gameplay, the art style, or all of the above.

    It gets even more crazy. With my poor estimation skills, I'd say I played about an hour and a half yesterday, and I'm 50% through.

    Even so, it's an absolute blast. Similar to Portal, as in its genius puzzles but short length.


    Mondae, there's no music, no story. It tells it without dialogue the whole way, and they did a damn good job with it.

    I just read a review. It sounds fantastic. Too bad I won't have a fast enough connection to download it or get on Live for 2 months.

    That's why at the gs sale, I'm buying a ton of single player/local co-op games.

    Yeah, I can't get it either. Short 180 points. I ****ing hate the fact that I have to buy $5 worth of points.

    What was the point of Microsoft Points to begin with? Why not just use money?

    It's Microsoft's way of saying Hand over the dough or you won't be able to play multiplayer.

    You're thinking of a Live subscription card, which contrary to popular belief, is not needed for all online games.

    You thinking about getting a 360?

    I own one. I only really play it for GTA & Call of Duty: [Insert name]

    Anyone check out Deadliest Warrior? It's pretty fun.

    No, I'm deciding to pass on it because of the great cheap sales at Gamestop.

    So, does anyone play the 360's mmorpg?

    It distances the customer from their cash, so having MP points means you're more likely to spend more money without realising it, because it's hard to directly translate the cost of a game into real money.

    It's an absolutely sh*t fest how the points work. I was, (get this) 20 points short of buying Limbo, so had to buy £5 worth of points. I usually always end up having to shell out some cash cause I'm a few points short.

    The minimum on PSN you can purchase with is $5, so if you have some DLC less than that you have to add $5 to your funds anyway, but if it's more than that your fine :) but MS Points sound like they suck a lot worse :(

    Lame. It's £5 in the UK so we end up paying more. The prices are probably higher anyway knowing this country.

    I know! The Wii wins in this category. It offers either 2000 points(20 dollar;pretty simple-100 points equals one dollar.) cards or gives you the option to input a credit card.

    PSN allows cheap cards with actual dollar signs, not causing any confusion.

    When, it gets less than 400 point increments, it gets confusing. What is it? 80 points? It is hard to keep track.

    A long time ago when I first hooked up to PSN (didn't have wireless internet at the time I got my PS3). There was no minimum spending limit, but I don't remember when they added it, but they should have just left it.

    We're comparing the payments between Wii, 360, and PS3 deciding which is better ;) I myself think Wii has the best option :) so calm down ;)
