LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.

Which store did you see PDZ at, and did they have the LE?

Gamestop. They told me all the 1st party games came in yesterday and were in the back. If you wanted one, they'll have to go in the back and get it. All the 3rd party games came in today.

I am confused about what type of WIDESCREEN support all 360 games will have for widescreen Non-HDTV screens. Will all games display in 16:9 or will they be stretched?

went to BB again today to see if they had put any games out. I saw the same thing I did yesterday which was a lot of accessories and no games.......then I looked to the very bottom of the rack and there are the games. they might have been there yesterday and I just didnt see them. they were really almost hidden since the accessories were kinda sticking out of the racks and almost covering them from a standing viewpoint.

I didnt get the P&C kit just yet since I dont know what will come with the 360 I get. I would have picked up COD but they didnt have it. Kameo and PD0 have become maybes for me and this is probably all the games Ill need for a while. taking into account what might be available on Arcade by the time I get tired of these games, it might be February or March before I need some new games.

Any friend of Condemned is a friend of mine. I already know this will be my favorite title of this launch. IGN's review was surprisingly in-depth and really gave enough sensory details to cause an erection. Parry, block, axe to the face = <3 <3 <3 <3

Ahhhhhh ok. Still looks very very nice. I don't have MCE at all so i'm thinking about getting it at some point. I should wait for Vista but I really want to start streaming to my 60" HDTV. The media extender aspect of 360 makes me very giddy inside.

That sounds like a fair enough size. Tell us how long it takes/took you if you download it and I'd also like to know what it consists of if you can. Thanks.

I don't know if I want to download it yet.

You can't play any games while it's downloading, that'd be ok if there were more XBLA games to play but hexic is all there is.

Perfect Dark Zero

Not had time to search for other posts but skimmed the first 2 pages without seeing one, so apologies if I missed this already. 8.30am UK OXM has just come out and they give the game most of us have been loving and hating in equal measures is given a ......9/10

You'll no doubt read all the reviews yourself, but the pros were:

* Superb Replay Value
* Colossally addictive on Xbox Live
* More weapons than Charlton Heston
* Better-than-high-end PC visuals

The only minus was

* Embarrassingly Wacky Voiceovers.

I've not read the review yet but thought you'd all appreciate the score, we can all breath a huge sigh of relief.

The opening paragraph is great "Like some sort of crazy A Team style plan involving hammering in a garage, close ups of pipes being cut, sheets of spiked metal riveted into a van, and some hilarious one liners from Face-man, Perfect Dark Zero has actually come together. And we LOVE it.".... "From Zero to Hero...The Finest first person shooter since Halo 2"

Interview with Jim Veevaert, exec producer for Rare's Xbox 360 titles.

Jim Veevaert said:
Development of Perfect Dark:
..."Originally Perfect Dark was slated for Xbox. The game we had in development looked really good, but it was going to hit market around the time of Halo 2, in November 04. So we looked at it and thought about it and we saw how big it was and we decided the game could be fully realized if it was pushed to the next platform. It made a lot more sense."...



Downloadable Content:
..."There is a lot of content that we wanted to include that will be available in the next few months. You can expect some great downloads of content coming for Perfect Dark Zero.

"The team believes that anything that is core to the franchise should be free but there will be some additional things that we are thinking about now that really is additional content that we will charge for. A lot of the details are being worked out. You can expect some announcements in January."...



Kameo:
..."It's really targeted to Rare fans but also people who have never played a game before. It's a graphic showcase. You can appreciate it as a straight through adventure but as a core gamer you can find ways to upgrade your warriors and find new experiences. Scale-ability is really important to this game and it really depends on how you want to play it.

"Kameo is a great second buy. The first round of Xbox 360 customers are core gamers; they may say Perfect Dark or Gotham and something else that the entire family can play, such as Kameo. The tie ratio could be as high as 50%. Who knows?"...



Future:
..."We have several titles in development at Rare. We'll be making the big announcements in the spring so I'm moving from this launch to some hard work on two or three of those productions."

Does anyboy remember the N64 being sold/released early? I believe it was the Thursday before release date (The release date was a Sunday, so 3 days early).

Man, I wish that would happen again.
