Well I just picked up COD4 for XBOX360

[cougartrace]

get home put the game in the xbox and play the training mission. Then the XBOX gets the red ring of death :banghead:

I don't even get to play one real mission.:banghead:

I hope I can get it repaired before Christmas:banghead:

[snappahead]

Doh! Damn, that sucks, Cougar. I think you've got a good shot at getting it back before Christmas. Even if you do, that's crappy. CoD4 is incredible and it's too bad you can't play it right now. I probably didn't make you feel better by saying that. Got any buddies who could let you barrow their system for a couple days?

[patrickwm68]

I found a working Atari 2600 in the trash you can use till you get it fixed.

The TLoD happened to my brother recently, he got his replacement about 10 days after he sent it in. You might have a good shot of getting yours back before X-mas.

lol...you ps3 fanboys kill me! lol

They never miss their cue do they?

[boondocksaint]

They never miss their cue do they?

never snap...then when we say the xbox is lightyears ahead of ps3 with online gaming they call us fanboys! lol :stick:

thanks pat..I'll play that Zaxxon until I get my xbox back :banghead:

[xreynoldsxcorex]

I am getting COD on 360 tomorrow
does anyone with both a 360 and a ps3 own 2 ps3 games?
I sure don't. Not until MGS anyway, and its been delayed so I wont for a long time.

LMAO! ...that sux coug...really....it just had to happen to you..lol....I'm sorry man...

[DSET]

get one from wall mart and return it before 30 days :D

[Sgt Taz]

Here's my Cod4 opinion so far: the graphs are awesome but dont shine through in the darker levels (1st, 2nd and the nightvision parts). Neither am I impressed with the indoor levels so far (I'm at level 5 now). The outdoor daytime levels blow you away though (love the third level!). Another gripe is it's too easy, even on veteran. By the time you reload your fellow soldiers call out "area clear!" - I mean those guys are terminators!

All in all great game, just wish the multiplayer had some achievements for us stat junks :d

[cougartrace]

screw it. I'll buy it for my PC..it's the best place to play FPS games anyway :)

I have to say this Kitty... you wouldnt have this problem with the Wii :thumbs2:

No but you would with a PS3. I still don't see how you guys accept sub par system quality that have such a high percentage failure rate...that's beyond me.

My 360 has just started playing up too some games have stopped working (I just get a stupid message coming up saying 'please insert this disc into a xbox 360 console' :confused: :banghead: )
Sony maybe light years behind for the online experience but they`re light years ahead regarding build quality.

get one from wall mart and return it before 30 days

Hmmm now there`s an idea, would they have anyway of them telling you`ve returned a different console? (if that`s what your meaning :D )

I have to say this Kitty... you wouldnt have this problem with the Wii ::

That`s only because it wouldn`t get used :eplus2:

[Model Giants]

By far the best multiplayer game ever.....

[Red X]

Until PS3 gets a good online community, I don't even want to talk about that system.

Onlien gaming is great on the PS3 plus it's free, as far as online community...you mean Home?...oh that's coming in a few months.



I went to pick up CoD4 for the PS3 the other 2 stores, both sold out...sucks.

[xreynoldsxcorex]

No but you would with a PS3. I still don't see how you guys accept sub par system quality that have such a high percentage failure rate...that's beyond me.

I haven't had a problem with my ps3 yet, but they do have a 40% failure rate, which is nothing compared to the 90% on the 360. But 40 is high too. And my sony sxrd has succumbed to the notorious yellow haze. I wish these expensive products would not crap out after a year.

well the 90% was on the old xbox like I have. Not on the elite model which is comparable to the PS3.

[HelloKinky]

I don't know I still like Halo. I mean it's just more fun at times. It's a good game and all but wouldn't say that.

I think they meant online community as in just a big fan base like Xbox Live has to play ppl.

Still I think regardless of what many ppl might think, you only play a select few on Live, and whether you have a million to play against or a thousand that's still plenty to go around.

[Bullseye]

People less of the fanboy hate posting here.

Now you know how it feels Bulls! :eplus2:

And the end of CoD4 was an awesome moment. Also, if you wait until after the credits, you get a little bonus level! Score!

now's your chance to buy an elite!:thumbs2:

[DSET]

no that wasnt my meaning

they mark down the serials so theres no way of doing that unless you swapped the cases:D

but my meaning was buy it and play it untill you get youre replacement
and return it before 30days
and if you still dont have another
buy another:D

Best buys return policy islonger during christmas:D

[CocoPUFF]

:buttrock: GO BUY CALL OD DUTY 4 RIGHT NOW! IT IS BY FAR THE BEST SHOOTER I HAVE EVER PLAYED!

I just bought it for my PC..I will play it on the best gaming platform there is..screw the consoles..

40 percent is way too high for a PS3 failure rate, I don't know where you get your figures from.

[Sgt Taz]

[Darth Pain]

I play COD 4 online with my PC.
I haVE a PS3 but, I only use it for movies until GT HD comes out.
I don't know why people still buy the 360 with all the problems happening.

[Sgt Taz]

I don't know why people still buy the 360 with all the problems happening.Maybe because the majority isnt experiencing any problems. That and the many and awesome games... Just a thought :)

More power to you coug :laugh:

Well he's right I mean come on, it is the best when you have the money. I get all my FPS games on my PC cause it just blows away both the Xbox and PS3. Crysis demo ran smooth.

And there's tons of ppl to play with too so I don't see why you're laughing. Spend a little less on those Halo statues and maybe you can get a decent system :D:buttrock:

[Moogled]

Remember: you heard it here first.

I own a PS3. So far, none of the games have been mindblowing. So-called "exclusives" for the PS3 end up being ported to other consoles too.

If you ask me, I didn't buy a PS3 just so I can play the "Final Fantasy 13 omg exclusive only." Alot of the games have way below-par graphics (Spider-man 3). Furthermore, the PS3 has launched ever since last November and good games (debatable) are FINALLY coming out. I can only hope those will bring a ray of sunshine to any PS3 owners.

The games for 360 at least seem to come out consistently, with awesome games from time to time.

The only thing I use my PS3 for right now is the silly DVD player function..........and I have a 40 dollar DVD player right below it. :thumbsdow

problem I have with PC is if your video card isn't up to par, it looks like crap and runs like crap! If you have deep pockets to spend 140 bucks every 9 months or so to keep your video card up to par then ok! Not to metion if you have an older system, you need to upgrade your processor too! which costs even more! Alot of games need over a gig of Ram to even function the right way. Alot of us have older systems. So the price of a processor and a half way decent video card will get you an Xbox Elite! A system you wont have to upgrade for a few years until the new next gen systems come out. I used to play all the time on my PC, but not anymore. My PCs memory is reserved for other things besides games. And the Xbox network is awesome!

If you want to sit behind a desk on a chair with your face an inch from the screen enjoying a game, more power to you :)
Personaly I prefer relaxing in my couch with a big @ss HDTV on the other side of the room and enough space to display and enjoy my halo "statues" + having the benefits of how the Xbox online community is built up (friends list, gamer id card, etc). But hey that's just me :)

Well, that's not always true. You can buy a second tier Video Card on Ebay for around 100 dollars and play Call of Duty 4 on the best graphics. Plus this game (original Call of Duty) was originally only made for the PC. The online play on the PC is so much more fun in my opinion because the play is so much faster (keyboard and mouse allowing much quicker response times in games)

Besides, the "slower" gameplay on a controller doesnt disadvantage you since everyone is playing with a controller (on consoles) so everyone is equaly "slow".

As for the online play, like I said for me, nothing beats the depth and perfectly worked out xbox live function.

Oh I like the XBOX community. It is the best around (except for the punk kids screaming on the microphones). I would be playing COD4 on the XBOX if it didn't die on me. Now, I'll play it on my PC.

Oh there's always glitches when a game first comes out and what makes you think it's so hard to find someone to play on the PC?

And besides for someone as openminded as yourself what makes you think we all have the same geeky PC setup?

I have my PC setup to a 30" LCD for games on which I can either play from my comfy chair or couch as well. Wireless keyboard and mouse not to mention one of those cheap mounts for them on a chair. I just find it funny that you laugh at it as if it's more primitive.

Like I said if you have the money. And upgrading every 9 months? Stop buying the cheapest cards on the market then! My card has handled HL2 to Crysis and the upcoming FarCry 2 of which will be PC only. Take care of your PC and you won't have problems. I haven't had any at all. And now with Leopard out for the Mac I can dualboot Vista on there as well and play the games no problem.


I only like live because of my friends are there so I can talk to them other then that I'll always opt for the better LOOKING and better CONTROLS of a PC. :rolleyes2

But COD4 is fun that's for sure.

No one likes to play with a handicap just because everyone's experiencing the same thing.

Besides, the couch comment is more than irrelevant; when you're pulling off headshots on a wicked 8800GTX card, who gives a damn about comfort? It's not like you're squatting on two pieces of 2x4 for several hours. More often than not, if the computer is the place to be, you'll have a decent chair to sit in.

YEAH BABY!!!

I hate PC controls and hate the idea of updating cards and what not every 6 months, give me a console any day.:thumbs2:

As long as that console is not a Microsoft one.

the PS3 is great, but the xbox live network is what keeps me playing my 360 most of the time and buying games for the 360 that come out on both platforms..

Yea that's mature?

No, I hate them because they are archaic and primitive. The keys are cumbersome to use and it just isn' as intuitive for me as having everything in the palm of your hand ala a controller.

[snappahead]

The keyboard control takes some getting use to, but there's nothing more accurate than a mouse in a FPS. There's a reason why console games use auto aim assist. It's because the controls aren't as responsive or accurate as a mouse. Not opinion...it's just true.

I agree that computer gaming isn't ideal though. Keeping up with cards and whatnot can get annoying and expensive.

As I said before...CoD4 is awesome and it's available on all systems..fun for all:)

[Colossal]

I just got back from holiday and bought Naruto and CoD4. Havent put CoD in at all yet, Naruto is pretty fun at the moment so going to go through that, check out the multiplayer then get into CoD.

Waiting for Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect now. Are there any other games out there this year worth looking at?

[HelloKinky]

Yea that's mature?

No, I hate them because they are archaic and primitive. The keys are cumbersome to use and it just isn' as intuitive for me as having everything in the palm of your hand ala a controller.

I didn't mean to make it sound that insulting but was referring to the fact that if you're a long time gamer/fan of FPS you most likely started on a PC. To say that you hate those controls would prolly mean you grew up on consoles and have no experience on a PC to see how superior the controls are.

A good example was Quake for the Dreamcast, ppl could play PC ppl and they were pretty much beat hands down unless they got a keyboard for their system.

Same for the 360s Shadowrun, again PC vs. Console ppl no contest.

I think the joystick on a controller of ANY system is hardly intuitive. But if ppl get used to it enough they can overcompensate it's drawbacks (like with anything else) to make it work.

Like I said I have every system. And I still prefer to play those certain games on the PC. Not all of course. Which is why I have multiple systems for that reason.
