My Xbox 360 Funny story & add me!

on Tuesday, March, 23, 2010 12:13 PM
Hey programs,

I recently purchased a pro-360 I thought I might share a pretty funny story, list my library and hopefully add me. (hope thats cool)

I went to target to get in on a sale they were having, pro 360 with all the trimmings and a gift card for $50 bucks (meaning at least 1 game). It was the last day for it as well. Went everywhere, most places didn't have it. Found one that did and I checked it out and realized I lost my wallet a week ago so I'd have to write a check . . . with no ID (D'OH!) I should of just given up there but, the sale was too enticing so I rang a friend and he said use his card and I could pay him back, then the card wouldn't go through
Finally I talked to the bank and worked a way out of that, got Batman Arkham Asylum with the gift card. Go home. Plug it in happy as hell, turn it on . . . and the thing literally makes a poot noise at me and fizzles out. (ARGH!) Long story short I excahnge it and play Bat's till my brain falls out, on a Sunday night mind you.

Anywho my Gamertag is hjthx1138. Add me if you like. All I had before this is old systems and a WII and I needed this to play TRON evolution when it comes out (that and there are some pretty good games for this system) heres what I have for it (in chrono order) so far ...

Batman A.A. (All my fav voices from the 90's cartoon and their best writer: Paul Dini. Nice)

Bioshock (awesome, music, characters, monsters and story is what keeps me hooked)

Bioshock 2: special edition (or as I call it the "fanboy package". Worth it for the LP and the art book)

Fallout 3 Game of the Year edition (just awesome)

Similar thing happened to me when I was setting up a PC at PCworld about 6 years ago, one of the first 3GHz processor computers. Talking to a customer about it and soon as I switched it on "BANG" and I mean big one smoke out the back and everything and how did I save face? I turned to the customer and said

"That sir is why we sell insurance"

Deadly Disks Wrote:Loved Bioshock and Fallout 3. Have not had a crack at Batman AA yet.

Check out TRON and DISKS of TRON on XBLA. They aren't as fun as playing them on the real cabinets, but they're available to play on your 360 for $5 a piece.

Speaking of the cabinets, I hit our local retro arcade today (Ground Kontrol) and played them both!

Nice. Wish I was there.

I played the demo for TRON it's ok but the sound quality is just awful. Worst sound porting ever. I like the art though.

If your a comic-book fan of Bats (like moi) definitely give Batman A.A. a swing. Nice combat system good graphics and most of all great dialog. I.E.

Dr: I feel that the Joker may enjoy his alternate persona a little too much . . .

Joker: Whats up Doc?

lol

Also, great comparison with the comp. I was offered insurance for the 360 and I declined (stupid move on my part )
