    Finally got around to getting a 360.

    Test Drive Unlimited, way too much fun, even just driving around the island.

    depends what you mean by work hard.....

    If you do long hours then palying hard becomes VERY hard!!

    But if you just work hard for 35/40 hours a week... then I'd imagine playing hard is not so.... hard...

    Hate to sound like at ad, but Harvey Norman are selling the massive entertainment pack (360, 2 controllers, remote, PGR3 and DOA4) for $729

    BUT, they are also throwing in ANY other game from the 360 range.

    So 100buck game
    2 x $50 games
    $80 for the extra controller

    So basically you are paying only 450 for the Core Xbox360 (which the lowest price I have seen is just below 600 at JB)

    It's a good deal if you want to spend a bit of cash....

    (oh and 2 months of Xbox live so you can play online)

    I need another $3500 to get them off yellafella. Then paint one of them, then get some 18" tyres for them. So $5000 later, I may have some 355 wheels. :):)

    started playing zelda last night... hmm, not really my thing i don't think. the cutesy jap version of hobbit characters are a bit annoying, and so far after 3 hours i can't remember any of the game being particular fun. it's really no different to adventure games 20 years ago where you have people around you needing help getting such-and-such an item, then they'll give you an item to help the next person and so on, well, the same but with a Wii controller.

    now for some reason i've been turned into a dog. :confused:

    I thought the same thing when I played Zelda on N64 2 weeks ago. I was like..............um.............crappy! :D:D Cant believe I used to spend many many hours playing that game. Only a few short years ago. :D

    I never got into them on the NES days or SNES. I 1st played Zelda on N64 back in 1997 and loved it. Then bought the 2nd one back in 2001. Awesome games back then. Played it again and was like......wow. Appeals to kids for sure, dont know why I still dont love it? :D I used to play them both religiously. :D

    yeah well i don't go for much other than car or sports games, the occasional "god" and strategy game, but not much for the cutesy 'adventure' and 'fantasy' stuff.

    i loved a certain role-playing-game series in the early 90's called Hero's Quest, would like to see an update to that. :cool:

    I remember Hero's Quest. Cool game. :)
    I just bought 355 Challenge, so will fire up a playstation 2 on these days off and have a chop. If it is any good, I will buy the Ferrari steering wheel and pedal set. If it is crap, then I will resell it on Ebay. :D:D

    don't get the ferrari wheel/pedal, get the logitech GT Force Pro. i have the series 2 of the wheel and it's excellent quality, also werks on PC. the "new" one (2 yrs old now) has 900 degrees of rotation, so about 2.5 turns, almost as much as a standard ferrari :cool:

    there may be newer stuff out now, haven't been in the market for a few years.

    Congrats on 2000th post mate. :)
    Thanks for the vote of confidence also. I will have to drive one 1st before I consider buying one of course. :) I love the fact that the F430 is the best F1 system so far and the new 599 is better again. :D 360 will soon be around the $200K I reckon, may be able to get one in 5-8yrs or so. BUT!!!!!! I really want a 430 or 599. But pappy aint that rich. :( 430 or 599 will have to wait for 10-15rs then. Pap will be dead by then. :D
