Xbox 360

Sadly not. I was hoping it was too.

Bugger. I want to get the complete Oz box-set, but it's Region 1.

EDIT: Amazon do a multi-region DVD player for about £35. I might have to get that.

 

[greenegg]

Dragonfly I suffer with many a show with this hoo ha. So many great shows don't ever make it to Region 2 and a few films suffer too.

I'm gonna have to buy another scat lead tomorrow, I'm missing out on demos and watching DVDs is tripe on the PS2.

Halo 3 box art released:

Is it just me who thinks they didn't put much effort into it to make people spend more money onto the other 2 editions? Because alot of Halo fans will see that and will want to pay more just to have a good picture/box for the game! I feel with the simplisity of it many people on this forum would be able to create a replica.

Looks a bit shit yes, not that it's too important.

Looks pretty meh.

I'm just about to pop out and pick up Guitar Hero 2. I had Forza 2 on Thursday morning. It's pretty good but, gets a bit boring after a few hours.

Is Guitar Hero 2 really worth the price tag that is currently slapped on it?

Spot on. I really can't fathom how people moan about box design and other minor discrepancies when deep down all that should really matter is gameplay. I don't think I've ever bought a DVD or a game to just have a crack off over the box. Sad times indeed.

I think the saying "never read a book by its cover" fits nicely.

It's going to sell loads, no matter the cover.

 

[Barry]

Aye, even if they'd put Ben Affleck on the cover it is still going to be picked up by a couple of million fans.

Loved the movie trailer and this looks damn good too.

 

[Killerkey]

I really couldn't care about the cover, but when there's 2 other editions of Halo 3 going to be released they might of made the cover shit as people who love halo will spend more to have better presentation also added to the other extras on the other 2 editions.

because the difference in covers between the standard one and collectors one is big enough:

And I know there will be people out there who would pay the extra if it was just because of the presentation. Which I do find ridiculous.

 

[PES ADDICT 117]

I might have bought the special edition for the extra content, but tbh after the Gears Of War special edition i don't think I'll bother. Also I'm not going to be seeing the cover much. The game will be in the damn 360 all the time while the box gathers dust on the shelf.

 

[Dan]

I bought a new scart lead today, but it did not work, a bit pissed off tbh.

How much does Microsoft charge for repairs? and how long does it usually take to repair? If it's anything more than £100 I might just wait for the elite. Nowt out until September time anyroad...I'll just play PES on the PS2 until then.

From what I've heard, if it is a mechanical error with the Xbox 360, then they repair it for free if you send them it.

 

[Dan]

Alright, cool. I can hear sound, but can't get a picture. I've tried it on 3 TVs an'all, so there's definitely something up with the console.
