So Lefty loves Flatout too. you should all buy it so I can smash the shit out of you.

Flatout is shit.

 

[Stan Bowles]

Flatout is shit.

No, you're shit.

Just got the email there from UPS with the shipment label and a link to show where i can DROP OFF MY XBOX, nearest place being shannon. Is this normal? I'm fucked if i'm going to drive all the way to shannon to drop the thing off, and they said repeatedly on the phone it would be collected from me.

I got a phonecall from someone yesterday saying they would collect the xbox today.

 

[Johnnyc]

No, you're shit.

No. You.

Ah, it's a pretty poor game. Fucking Burnout rip off with a load of FAST AND THE FURIOUS STREET RACERXXXXX thrown in.

That was Tim. Sorry.

 

[Wilbert]

That was Tim. Sorry.

 

[Johnnyc]

Hahahahahaha!


Hilarious and completely terrifying at the same time.

 

[Stan Bowles]

No. You.

And you've decided this from the demo? Just like you have dismissed the best 360 game this year because you didn't like the demo?

You crazy.

Dirt and flatout are both 45 quid in game. I bought neither.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

I like Flatout and Dirt a lot. The graphics in Flatout are incredible.

 

[pete]

just tried the flatout demo and it's ok. total burnout presentation ripoff though.

Dirt demo crashes my 360 every time - can't get it to load a race at all. Downloaded it twice but no joy.

Did anyone download the RE5 gameplay video? Stunning graphics/animation.

i'm guessing it's exactly the same as the one on the PSN?

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

i'm guessing it's exactly the same as the one on the PSN?

I presume so. I downloaded the psn version come to think of it.

People are already suggesting that Konami might face a PR fiasco because of the racial tone of RE5.

 

[RSJ]

How so? Surely if R6V can get away with all the mexicide, RE6 should get a free pass?

It could end up being a finely-observed parable about post-colonial legacy and the ravage of AIDS.

Or they could ignore those implications altogether and concentrate on chainsaw particle effects.

I wonder which route they'll take?

 

[CitySickness]

RSJ, I know you're trying to flog your 360 as a package, but any chance you could be persuaded to sell the wireless adaptor - if you have one - separately? They're stoopid expensive new.

 

[RSJ]

Sorry dude but i doubt it, like i say, probably get the best price if i sell the whole lot together seeing as it includes pretty much all the extras you can get (aside of the HDDVD player).

 

[CitySickness]

Ah yeah, fair enough.

In place of the HDDVD player, you could put this animated gif of a squid on the hard drive:

Is there anything more frustrating than dealing with Microsoft support? I have been onto them 3 separate times speaking to what sounded like a different little old Indian woman each time. I'm not sure any of them knew what an Xbox 360 was.
