yeah i got 4 of them shits last year

8/8/2006 12:06:19 PM

i just have the play and charge kit...the one with the cable. they have those new quick charge things now but i dunno which is better...atleast with the play and charge kit you can plug in the controller and it charges while you continue to play...

8/8/2006 12:13:40 PM

i have:

4 controllers
4 play and charge kits

when i get the "please reconnect your controller" message I just pop out the battery pack, pop in a fresh one, and plug the old battery into a controller and charge it

8/8/2006 1:03:00 PM

again, if you dont have a ton of controllers (or play 20hrs a day), dont bother. you won't save any money in the long run.

8/8/2006 2:09:38 PM

you'll also never have to buy AA batteries (for your 360 controllers) again

8/8/2006 2:38:33 PM

it aint hard to buy a 12-24 pack once a year while ur at the grocery store. that way you never have to wory about having a free outlet to charge um or having to plug a cord in. it goes both ways.

id do it for a buncha controllers like J, but not if you have one (maybe even two) or are just a casual gamer.

[Edited on August 8, 2006 at 2:49 PM. Reason : i misread, it was T with the controllers.]

8/8/2006 2:43:43 PM

yea, my 15 minute battery charger does well

i spent enough on the system, games and 2 controllers, if anybody else wanna play they betta bring own

8/8/2006 2:49:08 PM

$20 and you can charge it forever and ever...i dont see why thats not a good deal...

the charge and play kits charge on the usb ports of the xbox so you dont need a wall AC outlet

i see what you're saying...i personally have 4 controllers but i've also gotten 4 player games of nba, tiger etc

ahaha i know how that shit is

"man you need to get another controller so i can play"

8/8/2006 3:32:30 PM

lol

nooo my brotha

you gotta get yo own

8/8/2006 3:34:13 PM

nah tree, definately worth it for you. im just advising ppl like me (plays a low to medium amount, but generally is only using 1 controller) to save money.

guitar: 20 bux seems like a good deal until you realize just how many AA's that is (especially at a place like sams). i calculated (based on my replacement for the last 6mo) id have to use it for 3 years to break even, given that i only have 1 controller. not only that but AA's last longer than charge packs. how long are the cords though?


[Edited on August 8, 2006 at 5:23 PM. Reason : i mentioned AC outlet for the quick charge kits that you can buy]

8/8/2006 5:21:05 PM

cords on the charge kits are probably about the length of a wired controller

a cool thing is, once the battery pack dies for good (after like 1000 charges if you ever charged it that many times) you can either go back to AA batteries or just use it as a wired controller

8/8/2006 5:40:08 PM

that would take gaming of MMO proportions

8/8/2006 5:48:17 PM

rented and beat kameo yesterday. i actually REALLY enjoyed it, but like any game in that genre, way too short. nice refreshing adventure game.

8/8/2006 11:11:42 PM

Pac-Man is meh

doesn't go well with the 360 controller.

8/10/2006 1:48:21 PM

awesome, i forgot about fast return, dead rising is on its way (should be here by the weekend). this service is totally worth it.

[Edited on August 10, 2006 at 2:22 PM. Reason : and only 48 bux to keep. goddamn]

8/10/2006 2:20:31 PM

^gamefly?

8/10/2006 2:45:59 PM

8/10/2006 3:00:09 PM

i like playing series i havent tried in a while. saints row was really fun demo since i havent played gta since #3 and GRAW is pretty crazy, even though im not great at it (better in the urban environments than in the jungles).

8/10/2006 3:10:45 PM

i had gamefly in the fall...it just took way to long to get games, like a week since they were based in california...so i dunno if their shipping got any faster than it was before...

8/10/2006 3:21:11 PM

takes 2 days to get here from CA. they have fast return for me (dont know how new it is). i put kameo in the mailbox yesterday morning and they sent Dead Rising today (should be here sat).

[Edited on August 10, 2006 at 3:37 PM. Reason : so 3 day turnaround from FL, not bad]

8/10/2006 3:36:59 PM

I can't play games for a long time...I get motion sick

8/10/2006 3:39:03 PM

certian ones are worse than others

8/10/2006 3:43:10 PM

Is there something I could do?

I wanna complete my copies of Condemned, Kameo, and PDZ

8/10/2006 3:44:03 PM

i dunno...maybe dramamine

8/10/2006 3:50:20 PM

so I rented Chromehounds............. not impressed at all

good graphics but downright annoying gameplay

[Edited on August 14, 2006 at 12:59 PM. Reason : definitely not worth the purchase]

8/14/2006 12:59:24 PM

anyone picking up ninety nine nights this week? gameplay vids look pretty sick but not very deep

8/14/2006 6:46:33 PM

Chromehounds is excellent for online play from what i hear.

There's a somethingawful thread thats a billion pages long on it.

8/14/2006 6:50:22 PM

^^I'm not planning on it. The demo got old real quicklike.

8/14/2006 6:56:00 PM

the N3 demo is on the marketplace. its alright if ur really into dynasty warriors or whatever, but i got bored semi quick.

8/14/2006 6:56:35 PM

that's what I figured

8/14/2006 7:04:03 PM

Chromehounds is supposed to be amazing online. I believe Penny Arcade referred to the singleplayer as merely "training" for the real game online.

8/14/2006 11:18:39 PM

yea, i have yet to actually play the single player on chromehounds, my brother beat it in like 2 days and got all the parts from single player for building a mech online and thats all we do.

I think it is worth the purchase just cuz it is the type of game that stupid 10 year old screaming kids don't play(like the people who play halo2). Also the graphics are amazing and it actually does involves strategy and some skill to play.

8/15/2006 12:52:51 AM

i will say that building your own mech is pretty kick ass

[Edited on August 15, 2006 at 5:03 PM. Reason : havent played the online yet]

8/15/2006 5:03:46 PM

I havent played chromehounds, but I really really love the idea

8/15/2006 5:07:55 PM

yeah, i loved the idea, but i also like faster paced games (which according to every review, this isnt). ive got it in my gamefly queue, but i have a feeling i wont like it a ton either.

8/15/2006 5:59:19 PM

i would rate it exactly how game informer rated it

7.3 out of 10

graphics - 9.0
sound - 8
gameplay - 6.5
replay - 8
story - 5

8/15/2006 6:06:35 PM

I would have to go with the Gamespot player review of 8.2 out of 10. just because of what i said before

EA's "ARMY OF TWO" seems like a pretty cool idea...its designed to be a co-op offline game...i like

8/16/2006 10:07:25 AM

yea you can put diamonds on your guns

the hottest shit is when your partner is shot down, the dying on has to press buttons to "run away from the light" while the partner goes up and down with the analog stick to give cpr

hahahaha

8/16/2006 5:04:28 PM

hey my headsets fuckin up where i cant mute it. I have both the one that came with it and an under ear one i bought, but both always stay on. Im flippin the switches back and forth but nothing happens.

People get pissed cuz they can see my icon lit and tell me to mute even if im not saying anything. Then they curse at me, and I curse back, and usually sometimes they boot me.

Any help would be great.

8/17/2006 6:07:03 PM

try a different controller?

8/17/2006 6:12:43 PM

gg usps/gamefly. mailed kameo back on the 9th, they just got it today. conveniently enough they found it the day AFTER i filed it as lost. so gay, specially since i didnt get fast return for graw.
