It's the multiplats that I'm looking really forward to next year ...... just more choice. Alan Wake does look like my type of freaky though And Splinter Cell, well, are words even needed I'll get Mass Effect 2 with number 1 and play them both same time. Stoked I'll rent/get for some Live action.

Okay, that last post got me thinking, so if that's just Q1, what are we expecting to be playing at the end of 2009, these are my predictions:

Halo 3:ODST
Forza 3
Alan Wake
Splinter Cell: Conviction
Mass Effect 2
Too Human 2
Kingdom Under Fire 2
NIN2
Champions Online
*Conker?
*MechWarrior?

i think too human next year is a bit ambitious, first one took 10 years.

MiDigital is really messing up with the HDD order if you ask me...nobody here seems to have stock.

Yes you can. There's even a special on this month that it's free for everyone to play 8 particular Arcade games

Not really Actually dev for the 360 version apparently took 3, but as it's been designed (bought and paid for by Microsoft already) as a trilogy on 360 I'm sure we'll see the next one soon, if the series isn't canned. That'd give them 18 months between releases.

Although I'd be very sad if it was, it had some great concepts, they just need to shut Dyack up and fix 2-3 major things.

err, so here's a question ....... apart from buying Points from places like Take2 or suing a CC, is there any other way of getting Points? Reason I ask is that sometimes Take2 is outta stock and /me don't own a CC .... so what would I do?

Someone on Gumtree JHB is selling MS points / Gold cards. They send it via e-mail to you, might be worth a check

Otherwise, deposit the monies in my account and I'll buy points with my CC

I see there is Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix on the marketplace, thats what i'm looking for, Its not the new one everybody's been waiting for correct? , If i'm not mistaken the new one is street fighter 4 (HD)

Has anyone here got Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (the one on the marketplace) yet.

Nope. MS points are finished

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

hmm, what is the general cost per how many Points and how much is stuff generally on Live?

Going on gamepointsnow.com ... UK 2100 MS points (R270), UK 4200 MS points (R510)

Average MS point needed on market place 400-800. So you can work out how much MS points you need to buy

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

hey that's not as bad I was thinking ..... thanks for the info bru.

 

[maestro_za]

I worked that out assuming R/GBP exchange rate = R15

US stuff will be a little cheaper

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

I sort of had an idea on the price per points but I was completely in the dark about what stuff cost in the marketplace .... I was going on things starting at about 1000 points, so I'm pleasantly surprised to see it's lower

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

going back to that dongle thing (if I need to buy outside of maestro) ......... does the Official Xbox 360 VGA AV Cable kit come with one? If not, what do I go and ask for and where would I get it?
