Lee - Take a look at this site if you are bored

Very funny clips of taking Halo scenes and making a soap opera :cry: Very clever. If you have Kazaa or something similar, download the episodes. I have 1 - 20 so far.

:clap:

Warren Oct 28, 2004 10:29 AM

Never got on with Halo, Halo 2 is a different class

xbox imo is a gazillion times better than ps2.

bit gutted i sold my ps2 though as that san andreas games out now.... might have to get one for that....

nthorpey Oct 29, 2004 02:28 PM

There are also loads of different chips available, but some are obviosly a lot better then others, before you get one make sure it is compatible with your xbox version (use serial number to find this) then get it installed. This is easy as long ass you have the right tools and very small fingers :)

Adam Ash Oct 29, 2004 02:43 PM

Go to Bowlers computer Fair in trafford park on any Saturday Matt :top: :top:


Get one pre chipped :cool:

frog Oct 29, 2004 02:46 PM

We've got four in the office for some reason, all with steering wheels and connected to the xbox-live network.

Car racing any time in the day :banana: :banana: :banana:

I payed £150 for mine, pre chipped with xecutor2 chip. thousands of games pre installed on emulators for SNES, Megadrive, N64, Arcade machines :top:


I also have a mate at work who downloads the games from Bit-torrent and does me a copy for a blank DVD :top: :banana: .

He has just got a very cool game not released until NOV 11th ;) should be getting a copy on Monday :top:


Basically just GET ONE :top: :top:

Adam Ash Oct 29, 2004 04:09 PM

Yeah Woods 2005 rocks :cool: :cool:

ADUSR33 Oct 29, 2004 04:09 PM

x box is light years ahead of the ps2 imo...ps2 is old technology now :DD:

WORD ;)

ADUSR33 Oct 29, 2004 04:13 PM

i just need a cheap copy of colin mcrae 5 now :DD:

EvilFranky Oct 29, 2004 04:16 PM

LOL @ Pentium 3 light years ahead of what the PS2 has. Fully 128bit CPU vs old shonky 32bit Pentium. Only advantages XBOX has is the GFX chip nvidia made and the larger memory...thats why GTA dosn't need loading screens.

HALO is one of the most overated games i've ever ever played, as a single player game its mediorce at best and as multiplayer its only got 2 half decent maps!

Played far far better FPS even before HALO was released.

Dosn't matter anyways, Sony have walked this console war AGAIN.

ADUSR33 Oct 29, 2004 04:19 PM

well thats your opinion...im sure millions of peeps disagree about halo..wonder what it would be like on the crappy old ps2 :cry:

Adam Ash Oct 29, 2004 04:19 PM


i just need a cheap copy of colin mcrae 5 now

If you were local i could sort you a copy out ;)

shame

ADUSR33 Oct 29, 2004 04:21 PM

where are u based m8?...manchester isnt it?

Rick Oct 29, 2004 04:23 PM

and they are both shit compared to a decent pc :cry:

slowpoke Oct 29, 2004 04:24 PM

true rick but a decent pc costs far more than an xbox :blabla:

Adam Ash Oct 29, 2004 04:26 PM

FAR, FAR, FAR MORE :cry: :cry: :cry:

Rick Oct 29, 2004 04:28 PM

true true... I got a ps2 lying here - ive got access to gta4, but am waiting cos vice city was sooooooo much better on the pc

EvilFranky Oct 29, 2004 04:29 PM

ADUSR32 - Maybe it is just my opinion, but i tend to think that all XBOX owners just say its awesome because at the time of release they had no decent games at all and it was so hyped up that everyone would just end up saying it was quality even if it was crap :clap:

Do you lot HONESTLY think its that good? I've got it on the PC and to be fair, its fucking shite.

ADUSR33 Oct 29, 2004 04:34 PM

if u like slow game play..crap on line playing..then the ps2 is for u :top:

RaVeR Oct 29, 2004 05:26 PM

yes xbox is the way :cool: :banana: :top: btw abit of info soon rockstars contract will run out with sony so then all the consoles and pc will get the games first along with ps2 :blabla:

EvilFranky Oct 29, 2004 05:38 PM

Adus - you talk some shite like :roll:

Basically my last week has gone like this
Split up with the g/f, go buy x box, and halo - play, and complete halo, and then have mutileplayer games with my mates, in between work, and going to the pub!
We had an 8 player jobbie going on last night, till 3 am - im still trying to hang on to my student bum days!

Rick Oct 29, 2004 06:08 PM

simple fact is they are both pretty much identicle - what makes one good is the games. I have a ps2 only for gran turismo.
