James Quigley Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Well I've already got the old vga cable for my xbox so that's not a problem.I looked at the Samsung, which has mixed reviews, including some negative comments on the main board it uses, which I'd consider a major one.I've found an LG one similar in spec to the samsung, with DVI-D and VGA so that would cover both my PC and Xbox plus it is HDCP compliant which means that I can watch blu-ray and other such stuff apparently (obviously not in HD, I'm not that much of an idiot).I guess I'll just buy one and be happy with it (after all my current 19" was a bargain buy and it's served me well for a couple o years now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 HDCP compliant which means that I can watch blu-ray and other such stuff apparently (obviously not in HD, I'm not that much of an idiot).It'll still do 720p which is HD, it'll look much better than normal DVDs.

Tomm Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Yeah, to be honest I don't really know which is the best value-for-money wise, I bought mine second hand from some dude in Manchester for £140 so I'm quite happy with it.In other news, xbox360 ordered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 It was supposed to be delivered here before 12, only 57 minutes to go. WHERE IS IT?If it doesn't get there CLAIM POSTAGE, CLAIM POSTAGE, CLAIM POSTAGE!T-F 360 buddy list? On a side note.. anyone seen the 360 bundle in zavvi? Premium console with hdmi socket, halo 3, frontlines fuel of war, lost odyssey, assasins creed and army of two for £269. If you don't like the games and sell them off on ebay your effectively getting a 360 for around £180'ish, maybe less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it ever gets there, that is. I specified morning delivery and apparently that can be any time until 1pm so I might have a little longer to wait.

Tomm Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 To be honest, none of the bundled games really interest me, I'll be heading to Gamestation to grade them I reckon. One is Just Cause which is supposed to be pretty rubbish, and the other is Splinter Cell: Double Agent which I'll probably keep just because I really liked the ones on the xbox 1, and it got good reviews. Oh and I bought Amped 3 on eBay the other week which was the only game I really NEEDED. I'm gonna get Skate, any other suggestions?Sounds like a decent package yeah, where abouts is that from?Shh, I'm keeping quiet until it actually gets here because I think it was a pricing error EDIT: So much so that it's no longer on the website. Fingers crossed for it actually arriving... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCircus Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Skate is awesome, I personally love Halo 3 - I still play it alot online, but it's one of those games where you only get good after quite a while at it.Gears Of War and Call Of Duty 4 are gems, I wouldn't bother buying them though, rent them because they are both pretty short. If you like driving games Forza 2 for the realist, Burnout Paradise for the romantic.I also liked Lost Odyssey alot, but I'm a geek for role playing games. Oh and Devil May Cry 4 for a nice little platforming (not really)/action game with replay value and a really fun and deep combat system.

Tomm Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Beautiful Katamari.If yu don't believe me, ge tthe demo off XBL...Apparently it's coming tomorrow. Fingers crossed but I'm sorted for its arrival - Got the HD cable and a few games (Amped 3, Skate, Bioshock) to add to the ones in the bundle (Splinter Cell (good) & Just Cause (which I might swap because it's supposed to be rubbish)). Fingers crossed it'll actually arrive this time...Oh, and the first thing I'm gonna do is get Geometry Wars on XBLA 'cos that's f**king ace.This post has NOT been edited by Tomm, honest: Today, 09:31 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Depends what games you like. Call of Duty 4 is a great game online, Forza is the best driving game out, you also need to get Halo 3Ive got a 24 or 48 hour trial on xbox live you can have if you like.

Haz Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Err what, Mass Effect is supposed to be rubbish?!It's was a contender for GOTY, next to Bioshock (awesome) and CoD4 (awesome).It's such a good game.At least play about 10 hours worth, or you won't see how good it is.Forza is the best driving game out, you also need to get Halo 3Which reminds me, we need a race now I'm home and back from PGR4.And Halo sucks. So many other FPSs which do it all better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
