Well while I would have preferred buying a PS3 first, I ended up with the 360. I found one on craiglist for $30. It needs some work to get it going but I already got that started. It needs a laser replaced since it wont read game disc but it will still read DVD. My friend warned me that replacing the laser might not do it but hey, worse case senario it becomes a digital only system. Its the Halo Edition model and while its old she sounds like she runs fine and will prolly run a good while before I would need to replace her. I plan to join xbox live once I know she is going since the BF wants me to play some games online with him. I am prolly gonna create a new gamertag so Ill keep yall posted on it once its going. I also got to buy a bigger harddrive, she only has 20gb space on the current one. If you know of any sites that sale them decently, please share them.
In other news I got ......
YOSHI!!!!!!!!!!
the critics have not been kind to Yoshi. Give us some impressions mmmkay?
I will, havent gotten to enjoy it yet since today as been busy. I havent read anyhing up on it yet.
I used to own a Halo 3 Edition 360. It finally red ringed on me and I gave it to a friend who wanted to try and fix it. He didn't. In retrospect I should've traded it to Gamestop for a little credit towards the one I replaced it with. I didn't know at the time Gamestop would take red ringed Xbox 360s.
Gamestop now pretty much takes anything as lng as its a current system. They dont gie you much for ones that are broken but they still you give ya something. I think mine can be repaired. If not like I said, it will be digital only buys.
I hope to get my copy of Yoshi's New Island this evening!
I am so far enjoying it Cary, its pretty good!
damn you, broken laser!
I know, the good thing is that alot of people who have had the same problem, the laser fixed worked on it so I should be on physical media once I get it put in.
I have that one too but only because a friend of mine gave me his when he got a new one. I rarely use it because of the fear of it getting the Red Ring but it works fine so far. Let me know when you get the Gamertag thing working, I don't have XBL Gold but might get it incase someone wants to play.
My Gamer Tag is LadyLevana1989, I did get my the wireless adpater thing so I could get online and I have Gold onmy account. I only have one game though so Ill keep you updated on it as progresses,lol
My gamertag is CaptainN07, if you see that it has a Banjo avatar and a guy with a TF shirt, then it's me.
I need a PS3. One of the models that is BC with every Sony system.
You will need to get one of the fat models then I think its the 60gb that is. Gamestop, Ebay, or Craiglist will prolly be ur best bet, cant really find them new anymore. I want another super slim one.
That's a good deal on a 360, despite the disc drive problem. My 360 still reads discs but not dvds (sound goes out for some reason) but I buy a lot digitally and install whatever game I have on disc. I'd like to add you as a friend whenever you set your account up.
I got my gamer tag going, its LadyLevana1989. I only have 1 game for the moment since it was free with xbox live. Mine acts like its a dvd and so far alot of the people who had this problem changed the laser out and it fixed it. I think it will work, just got to get someone to do it.
Good deal. I just sent you a friend invite. I'm MongoSantaMaria.
I got my 360 with my friend's help because it was cheaper than the PS3 at the time. I kind of regret it because in general sony caters to my tastes better but my friend and I went with what we could afford!
Im in the same boat, I really wish it was a PS3 but I figured I could fix this one for 30 and have atleast something to use to play some of the games that havent released on next gen. Im still aiming for my PS3 though!
Wish I could help you out as far as your 360 goes, but I'm way out of the loop as far as that stuff goes.
I want to get that new Yoshi game as soon as I can.
One of my buddies I think can help me, he has just been sick so its on hold till he gets better. I tryed watching a vieo on how to do it and I was like "what?" the entire time so nope, not gonna try it,lol
I think you will enjoy it!
Yoshi is on hold right now, I am getting Bravely Default, then Yoshi. This back log is going to bury me,lol.
Im pretty much buried at this point, my bf picked on me because I got Yoshi instead of buying Bravely Default first but Im happy with my choice, Yoshi is my fave!
If Square had made FF games like they made BD I may been a FF fan.
That is a nice XBox, congrats! I spy a bunch of M*A*S*H* stuff. Is that a season? Cool stuff, loved watching that show, and I had a couple of their toys (they were like Hot Wheels)
