As a spare just in case my other unit dies on me while I am playing :).
Already preordered Halo 3 and Bioshock ... Sept is going to be good for gaming :).

Going to be a bit scarce are we :D

I know about Halo 3 but I'd better take a gander at Bioshock since you brought it up.

Another 3 I am preordering as soon as they are available is "Call of Duty 4" and "Mass Effect" and Half Life Episode 2 Orange Box Ed ... that should finish up my Xbox gaming purchases for this year and will keep me well busy into the new year ;).

Also I don't buy PC games anymore since my AGP 7600GS ain't gonna cope ;).

Yeah Call of Duty 4 looks excellent saw the trailer the other day!

It looks utterly amazing compared to Call Of Duty 3 which was just a lame shooter on rails ... if the trailer does it justice then this is going to make BF2 look like nothing.

I have not played any of the other COD's but the COD 4 trailer looks really awesome. By the way why no assassins creed on your list ?

Crap - COD and HL ep2 are another two have-to-have's :o I've got COD 2 and 3 for the 360 and loved them both.
 
Rock Band, clowns.... only gonna be the best game EVER MADE.

You are kidding right? BioShock is being rated as the best FPS ever....

I could spam you with links about BioShock but I think the video review is possibly the best start...

oh and you have to see the launch trailer

I think I am going to have to sell one of the kids to afford all the games I need this year
 
Gavin is right, but there are some private (well, just lesser known ;)) HD videos out there of the Bioshock demo and it's un-freakistic-believable.

Looks like something I'd enjoy - when does it come out here?
 
The X360 demo of Bioshock really makes me want to get the retail version at the end of this month! :)

Hmm, I don't know about that. COD4 doesn't have vehicles, so it's more a case of kicking Counterstrike in the teeth than BF.
 
CoD 3 wasnt made by Infinity Ward ( CoD 2, CoD:UO ) and thus CoD 4 is going to be one mother of a hot title. In regards to BF, I wouldnt place that buggy EA money sucking title into this thread and compare it to CoD 4. :p
 
I think you're just bitter because you're probably still on my BF "favourite victims" list . . ;)

Oh, and Tibby, don't think of it as a waste, with the two 360, not only can you run your own private LAN parties, but you'll be able to run a distributed media sharing network through your house. Nice. I'm jealous ;)
 
Just imagine playing Forza 2 with two Xboxes... wow.... you might as well buy a third to get the full view in the game!

@Doobi - Really? I have to check the stats again. :p

are you gonna wait n get the black one?

but logical thinking. I am buying a new PC and the GFX card alone costs the same as an entire xbox 360.

me ponders. mmmm why have one when i can have two :D
 
Halicon, if you don't have a 360, I highly recommend it over a PC upgrade. On the other hand if you've got one already, two might be a bit OTT ;)
