Where do they get off releasing so many good games at the same time?

Force Unleashed, Pure, Saints Row 2, Fable 2, Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, Endwar... all out already or within the next few months. Where am I expected to find the money or time?!

Shit, at $100+ a peice, it'll add up pretty quickly.

This is why I don't bother with Next Gen. Consoles. You buy a few games, and you've already spent as much as it cost you for the console itself.

How much would they all cost?

To get all the decent games would set you back 500 -600 bucks [AUS].


I'm getting Force unleashed and Gears 2 - But I BADLY want Fallout and Endwar.



It is a dark day, my friend.


Maybe I should convert to PS3 - atleast then I wouldn't have to worry about any good games coming out *Chuckles*

Prioritise what games you want based on reviews and what's already out.

I'd also buy one at a time and complete them systematically as opposed to going out and buying a bunch of games that you'll spend five minutes on each...

I went through a phase where I was constantly buying or downloading games, DVDs and music. It was getting ridiculous as I wasn't playing half the games and DVDs I bought as I didn't have the time.

Sometimes life sucks!

Or you could flash your dvd drive and get them all for less then $10 worth of blank dvds. This is what I do.

You just have to flash the dvd drive, then it can play burnt discs.

Then you can't use XBL though, right?

I would presume so - Apparently Bill Gates doesn't have enough money.

If I were you, Purchase a second Xbox and get that chipped, but don't connect it to the internet.

Win/win.

all you have to do is put a stealth patch on the game. You can play online just don't do system upgrades as soon as they come out.
Go to www.xbox360-hacks.com for more info.
there is always a risk but it isn't significant.

Well, if you downloaded, say, 20 games - That's 1500 dollars saved allready (If not, more).

First, don't try to justify what your doing because a lot of the money from games goes towards the games developers not Microsoft. Just accept that you are just being a stingy pirate.

And you don't need a chip. You flash your xbox.

The site I suggest is Google.

And in future posts I suggest reading your post over, the lack of proper grammar and elementary spelling errors makes it look as if a small child is typing.

It's only stealing if you would have bought the software otherwise.

Consider the source. I can put a mod chip in an xbox-360 had one in mine before I sold it (no time for games). Easy if you know how to solder electronics. Who cares about game companies? Tough luck, increase security or lose money. Anyone here willing to tell me they wouldn't empty a warehouse full of games owned by a game company if they could get away with it?

I probably spend 95% of my time on Xbox playing online, so therefore it wouldn't be worth it. If I could get a second, cheap xbox for playing copied games however, I'd do it in a flash.
