Xbox 360 (Which one should I get?)
Me and my wife were going to pick up one of these babies last week but when we went to the store I saw they have the Xbox live version and the Core System version for like $100 less
All she really wants it for is the Next Gen Sonic game and me the same reasons plus Kameo
Anywho what's the main difference between the two and is paying the extra 100 bucks really worth it. Keep in mind that we perfer our online gaming on PC.

Id pay the extra $100. Think of it like this.. without the HD your going to need a memory card to save right? Just get the bundle.
If I had the money and enough reason to buy one I would, but so far only 1 game really impresses me (oblivian). And to be honest my opinion of it went down when I heard the world upgrades as you level. What is the ppoint in leveling up if mobs are the same level as you no matter what? Reminds me of that one Wing Commander game. No matter what you upgraded on your ship the enemies just got harder so it was pointless to upgrade your ship.

that makes a lot of sense.Egotistical EvilN wrote:It's not. Just buy the hard drive seperately.
pay 300$ for the core system with wired controller and console, with no hdtv cables, then pay 100$ more for just the hdd.
that's way better then paying 400$ for the premium pack with wireless controllers, hdd, hdtv cables, and the headset.
i would definatly go with the premium, just because if you want to take advantage of most of the features of the 360, you will need the hdd anyway.

Don't buy a tard pack 360, even if you get a nice white dvd drive instead of a crappy silver one. It's just not worth it.
But it is still gash like Starfox Adventures was.
1) adjust the ingame difficulty slider until you're challenged / pwning all that moves
2) create a custom class where skills you will never ever use are your 'majors' so that they never level up, with the result that your level never rises
3) never sleep ingame and never gain a level
But you're right, one game isn't really worth buying a whole new console for unless you have the money to do so anyway or there are enough exclusive other games out / on the horizon you really want to play to justify it.
You don't want Kameo. It is utter gash. Apparently Bill Gates loves it though, so there is a quite ridiculous amount of focus placed towards it in marketing and XBL downloads (multiple demos, videos, themes, skins etc etc etc).navi wrote: All she really wants it for is the Next Gen Sonic game and me the same reasons plus Kameo

I personally like that the game keeps offering a challenge even when you're pretty tricked out as a character, but I know people hate that. Ways around it are:Veggita2099 wrote: If I had the money and enough reason to buy one I would, but so far only 1 game really impresses me (oblivian).

The HDTV cables/Headset are not really big selling points. If he had an HDTV, he would probably have enough money to spring for the cables. And the headset is sort of cheap, anyway.MKE wrote:that makes a lot of sense.Egotistical EvilN wrote:It's not. Just buy the hard drive seperately.

The wireless controller, to me, is the important part. Oh, and that the memory cards are 40 dollars. Insane.

I think you misunderstood how the world upgrades. See, it's not that enemies level up along with you throughout the game. A low level rat at the beginning of the game is still the same low level rat at the end. But as you level up, stronger enemies appear. So the enemies that appear at level 3 are different from the enemies at level 13. And I believe once you exceed level 22, no new enemies will appear, meaning that eventually you will level up beyond everything else.Veggita2099 wrote:And to be honest my opinion of it went down when I heard the world upgrades as you level.

At any rate, it's no different than any other linear RPG. You enter a cave, you struggle. By the end of the cave, you are walking all over your enemies. Then you enter the next cave, you struggle, and the cycle repeats.
It is rather ludicrous that you eventually get attacked by bandits with armor worth thousands of gold pieces.melancholy wrote:I think you misunderstood how the world upgrades.

True, the human enemies armor does increase as the game goes on, but like the monsters, there is a limit to that as well. I still found that by the time I was about level 20, I could kill almost any human NPC with one shot with my staff.Lartrak wrote:It is rather ludicrous that you eventually get attacked by bandits with armor worth thousands of gold pieces.melancholy wrote:I think you misunderstood how the world upgrades.
