Should I? Shoudn't I?

[the_gaming_guy]

I can't decide if I should pre-order TDU.

I don't have a 360 - yet, but I will hopefully have one at the beginning of Sept.

Will this game sell out? I don't want to not be able to get it at all.

Somebody help me please.

[MooseOnLoose]

I say get it!!!!!!!!!

[Tiger91]

No, what if you don't get a 360? Buy it later..i voted for that but i think u should wait for u get a x360 and then preorder it..im not gonna preorder it i will just buy it...there is not only one store to look in...there are many stores and avery store wont have them sold out same day...

[davie18]

I say wait until you get a 360, there may be a package deal with it.

[Crazed_Dodgem]

pre-order it at www.play.com, pre-orders from play usually cost less than the highstreet, and arrive on the day before the game is released (should have seen the look on my mate's faces when i told them i had allready been playing san andreas for about 6 hours on the day before it was released)

what is more, you get a freebie gallardo download

[MooseOnLoose]

Im getting a Freebie Gallardo!!!!!

[Eagle_Legend]

What's this freebie gallardo? Can anyone post a pic?

And i think you should get it when you buy a 360, i actually have the same problem and i'm going to wait.

[the_gaming_guy]

[Jay360UK]

I say pre-order it cus it's quite unlikely that there will be a package deal with the 360. You also get a free Lamborghini Gallardo from play.com :)

[diorbaby]

yep pre-order it, it will show the family how much you want the 360, then they wont get anything really **** and useless for your birthday, you know like a day trip to chessington :p or something worse. eekblue:

[the_gaming_guy]

Oh, they know about the 360. I'm getting one as far as I know. (I'm paying half). I've already won a game (Fifa World Cup) which I cannot play due to lack of 360. It's really annoying.

[diorbaby]

you gotta pre-order it then, if it arrives the day before then we`ll all see you that night, otherwise you gotta wait until someone gets you to town to buy it, or wait for the bus/train, use your legs. waste precious time buying it.

instead, wake up, shorts on, 360 on, next thing you know its sunday :)

what date do expect the 360 to grace your bedroom.

[Taxi144]

NO no no no noooooo, Don't get a xbox 360 until the new one comes out. Its having 60 pins instead of 90( On the cpu's) , it will be cheaper , more realiable and won't produce as much heat. I know you want the game straight away gaming guy , but if i was in your situation i would be willing to wait for the new one.

[the_gaming_guy]

:mefiant: What new one? Waht? :mefiant:

Enlighten me.

[Taxi144]

The 360 is getting a new cpu. Which will be cheaper , but produce as much power. It has less pins (I think) So it doesn't create as much heat. Theyr'e also changing a few other things. It also means it will be quieter. I'm buying it when it comes out. Even though i have the old one lol. There is alos talks of the Black 360. That will be cool!

[the_gaming_guy]

Are these just rumours? Or is there a link?

[Taxi144]

http://forums.xbox.com/3848973/ShowPost.aspx

Nope its real. Starting 2007.

[the_gaming_guy]

OMG, but I bet we won't get it until a year from now. I can't put off this beautiful game for that. As much as I'd like to.

[Taxi144]

No , it will start world wide. They can't keep putting the old cpu in the europe ones while they put the new one in the american ones. They are made in the same factory! It will be here in feb probs.

[the_gaming_guy]

I can't wait 5-6 months while y'all playing the game! How annoying would that be.

[Taxi144]

Get the Pc game. I'm getting it in nov for my birthday. I'll play with you.

[Jay360UK]

I wouldn't want to wait that long to play this game but it's your decision. My 360 has been fine since I got it (which was 8 months ago) :)

[Taxi144]

Yeh , but most of the 90nm 360's life expectancy is 6 months. For all the plus points on the 60nm i'd say its worth waiting.

[Jay360UK]

Mind you, I have just been reading up about it and I can see where you're coming from. I still wouldn't know if I could wait that long for it but I would probaley give it a few months or so and see what happens with the price. Plus you wouldn't get too bored while you're waiting cus the PS3 will be out :)

[Nascasho]

I've been wanting this game since the release of the first picture. I'm especicailly amped up for the 360 version mainly because my pc can't even run doom 3. I say reserve the beast. I know for a fact when you guys that wait come and visit this forum and hear about all of the nice things, new clubs, new downloadable content you'll start to get excited and run out your door and get it. Mind you I know that the pc version will probably have 3rd party content within a week! Also, if you come in late, you'll probably suck at the game and get pwned by 5 year kids... but, thats just my opinion ;) .

[pegse]

get the 360 first then the game because if u get the game before the 360 it will be a pain in the *** readin the manual and not being able to play it

[Eagle_Legend]

That's exactly how i'm gonna do it :)

[davie18]

I think right now the black 360s are just special ones to test games which aren't out yet on them. Bungie had loads of them! :nuts:

[the_gaming_guy]

Ok, here's what I think I'll do:

1) Get a 360 at the end of August (Early birthday present).
2) Get TDU from Tesco.
3) Think about new consoles when I'm 16 and I can earn a bit.

[Nascasho]

Try getting it a little earlier gaming guy. I say this because of the percent of defects the system has so it'll give you plenty of time to get the system returned and get a new one.

[Taxi144]

Here's my console tonguegre

[the_gaming_guy]

Get a paper round tonguegre

Less TDU time! eekblue:

[davie18]

Less TDU time! eekblue:
Get one now, and then earn 4 weeks of it, about £40 a week if you do all shifts where I live, so 4 x 40 = £160 you could make before TDU :)

I'm to lazy to get one lol

[the_gaming_guy]

I don't know how to go about that. Isn't it just a huge waste of time?

[pegse]

Taxi144 nice 360 did tht cost loads more and is it the core or premium

[the_gaming_guy]

Are you being serious or sarcastic? cos its difficult to tell.

[pegse]

have i just made a complete fool of myself

[the_woozle]

Are you being serious or sarcastic? cos its difficult to tell.

I was wondering the same thing... :mefiant:

[the_gaming_guy]

Ummm......yes. lolblue: lolblue: lolblue: lolblue:

[pegse]

so wat is that thing in the pic

[the_gaming_guy]

Is it a Dell Inspiron?

[pegse]

well i don't like it lol

[Taxi144]

Yeh inspiron 9400 , its practically an XPS. Just hasnt got the XPS badges , thats the only difference

[pegse]

im confused now, can u play 360 games on it

[Taxi144]

No , i just stuck the old xbox badge on it, and plugged the wired controller in. It plays games like the 360 though. It has a HD screen :bravo:

[pegse]

yep still confused. so it has nothing to do with microsoft

[pegse]

Taxi144 wat is WDU all about

[Taxi144]

Its a car club for test drive unlimited.

[gtr2004]

im trying to find this face for my 360 but cant find it anyone know where to find this ??

[pegse]

[Taxi144]

[tenebra_uk]

They're not ready yet, gtr2004, Davie is still waiting for his too ;)

[gtr2004]

yup, im trying to find it now

[gtr2004]

They're not ready yet, gtr2004, Davie is still waiting for his too ;)
thnx tenny, i will be sure to get this with TDU

[the_gaming_guy]

Arrrrrgh!

My mum was about to buy a 360 for me (well, pay £100 of it) when we began calculating the cost.

1 Xbox 360 Premium = £280
1 PGR3 = £35
I already have Fifa World Cup.

So far £315.

Then, I'd be paying it off untill October, and I won't have any money for TDU or Xbox Live. Thats £75 extra and I just can't afford it. Why is this happening to me?

[tenebra_uk]

Actually, it's August now, let me check with the Almighty Ones to see when they are available, it should be some time this month.

[gtr2004]

thnx again,must make my 360 like this one :) :atari:

[Quaid66]

I already have it pre-ordered just in case there is any possible delay in any of the PRs copies arriving

And I reviewed it!!!!

[pegse]

so wats the score

[the_gaming_guy]

On? You need a subject to your post?

[gtr2004]

I already have it pre-ordered just in case there is any possible delay in any of the PRs copies arriving

[Eagle_Legend]

If your gonna get one , get it off ebay. You could save 50 quid off that price maybe more

[Eagle_Legend]

Did he? Where can I find this? I NEED CONFIRMATION ABOUT THIS :p

Lol, also.. is the preview in next months issue?

[the_gaming_guy]

Is it really reliable though?

[Taxi144]

What ebay or the 360?

[gtr2004]

go for it the gaming guy, the main reason i brought my 360 is TDU but there is nice games also (at least till sep) :)

[pegse]

why get PGR3 when TDU is going to be way better

[tenebra_uk]

Did he? Where can I find this? I NEED CONFIRMATION ABOUT THIS :p

Lol, also.. is the preview in next months issue?
You could either trust me or do a post search tonguegre He said the review will be in this month's issue.

[gtr2004]

PGR3 is nice game but if you dont have any choice then wait for TDU

[the_gaming_guy]

Because I have 5 weeks ahead of me filled with pure boredom

[gtr2004]

Because I have 5 weeks ahead of me filled with pure boredom
i think you dont have another choice you better wait for TDU

[Eagle_Legend]

Uhu, definitely wait for TDU

[gtr2004]

Uhu, definitely wait for TDU
yeah coz if you waited for TDU you know that your waiting for a game that worth to wait :)

[the_gaming_guy]

I've had an idea.

I'm going to sell D:PL and Toca 3 back to CEX for £23 and get a second hand PGR3 for £5.

[pegse]

go for it lol

[Eagle_Legend]

right eekblue: 5 pounds??

[the_gaming_guy]

Well, £28 - £23

[Eagle_Legend]

Oh i get it :)

[Maxi_Live]

Its not gonna be a sellout but if you preorder from www.gameplay.co.uk most likely you will get it one day early (the thursday not the friday). always happens with me O.o


Also when u buy your 360 you will get 1 month free of gold subscription so youll be okay for a month then you can buy a free month card dirt cheap from somewhere? if you still cant save £40

[Vieon]

I got a 360 premium + Oblivion + PGR3 for £324 from Gamestation.

[the_gaming_guy]

when did you get it?

[pegse]

i wanna get 360 premium+saints row+TDU which will cost bout £360 then i wanna get xbox live gold membership for christmas so i can kick all ur butts on TDU LOL

The saints row demo is the glitchiest demo on the marketplace. The demo also has a terrible FPS.

[pegse]

yeah but it ain't a fps and that was a demo the game looks great

[Vieon]

yeah but it ain't a fps and that was a demo the game looks great

Why would it matter if it was an FPS or not?

[pegse]

The saints row demo is the glitchiest demo on the marketplace. The demo also has a terrible FPS.
because its like sayin final fantasy is like a sports game or gta being a famliy game lol

[tenebra_uk]

I'm getting confused lightbulb

[pegse]

it don't matter anymore, anyway its a TDU forum not a saint's row forum.

does anyone know the speed limits on TDU

[the_woozle]

Is there a misunderstanding between
First Person Shooter and
Frames Per Second here?

[pegse]

lol i see now

[davie18]

Yes, I meant the frames per second is terrible on the demo, and that matters a lot. If there FPS is bad, the game is bad, cause you cant really have fun if it is jittery.

[KoenigViper]

The saints row demo is the glitchiest demo on the marketplace. The demo also has a terrible FPS.

Lol, that bad? Mine is great. Been playing at least once a day since I got it.

Mine only rarely glitches inside the demo area, outside is a whole other story.
Frankly, I don't pay attention to the Frames Per Second debates. I feel if I get involved and get a full understanding of them, I'll be disappointed by a great looking game because it doesn't have good FPS.

[Maxi_Live]

Hasn't it only been out 1 day?

[leighton]

i said yes go on, it might sell out but i havent pre-ordered it. theres no way its going to sell out.
