The Best Buy Re-launch is open to anyone, or only preorders?

GunnmeTaLCURA04

Best Buy NEVER took any pre-orders. Its a first come, first serve basis.

bigman

No, it is the one in White Plains, accross from the Westchester. PM me, i'll see what i can do for you.

cdrink80

Thanks for the reply.....how ealry you guys suggest getting there???? I really want one and dont want to be beat out by some 10 year old fucks!

GunnmeTaLCURA04

lol. about the time, i dont know. some crazy sucka's will be out since night before. lol.. But hey do this meanwhile.. Check EVERY EVERY morning TARGETS. they have been getting quiet a few i hear. And when you call they tell you they got nothing. So your best bet is to go in person. They open at 8 be there by 7:45 and ask.
Also have been reading on alot of Costco's getting in alot. But remember to buy at Costco you need to be a memeber. And membership fee is about 50 bucks i think.

cdrink80

Haha yea i feel ya.....Its this sunday the 18th correct? So I would need to wait sat night possibly?

CL-S Baller

I thought I'd bring this thread back from the dead to show off a few pictures people have been taking of PGR3's photo mode. These are in-game graphics with a different camera angle and the ability to add effects such as blur or modifying the hue's. So beautiful:

MotoGP 2006:









Real Life Versus Game:

Mizouse

damn those look pretty nice

GT5 better have ferrari

Stapler

Amazing how good a picture of a hdtv can look. My 27 inch regular deff crt is just, .. ugh in comparison. I need hdtv.

Also there are some scans of some sort of rpg. Blue dragon, I dunno anything about it.






Oh, and a motogp trialer. http://gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=2206 Also not very informative.

wow some sick stuff there. nice photo mode shots and the Moto GP shots are pretty sweet.

The Blue Dragon RPG is being developed by the creator of the Final Fantasy series (Hironobu Sakaguchi) and the art is by the creator of the Dragon Ball Z series (Akira Toriyama). This game and his other RPG for the 360, Lost Odyssey are 2 of my most highly anticipated games

cusdaddy

Dead or Alive 4... The motion blur and detail is amazing!

cusdaddy

Fight Night 3: This is the 360 version. EA said it will look exactly the same as the PS3 version they are also developing.

FiftyFive

fucking awesome pictures, i got pgr3 game is great, nfs most wanted is a must have too, uh along with quake 4 and nba 2k6

cusdaddy

Condemned is worth checking out as well. It really suprised me how good it is. It's scary as hell and has a great atmosphere. It's at least worth renting and playing in the dark with the lights off. Think Quake 3 only much better - slower, scarier, much better graphics and totally twisted.

GunnmeTaLCURA04

I WILL DEFITNATLE get that bike game!!!

cusdaddy

I mentioned Lost Odyssey earlier. It is a new series created by the creator of the Final Fantasy series who recently left Square. In addition, much of the team (including music) from FF7 came to work on this game. This is a very poor quality sneaked in hand-cam of the game trailer, but I think it's amazing. It definitely has that FF7 vibe which is one of my favorite games of all time

You can see the trailer by clicking the link "File : Trailer (hidden cam)"

In addition, here is a hidden cam video of Blue Dragon which was mentioned earlier from a similar team:

Moto Gp 06 looks hott, but ill probly not ganna get the 360 till halo3 comes out, when ever it dose, anyone know?

Stapler

Everything about halo3 release dates has pretty much been rumors/ people miss reading game store sites.

So no, nobody knows. Unkle billiam made a statement a while ago that it would be out near the launch of the ps3, but i think bungie backpeddled on that and went with "when it's done".

fsttyms1

i wanna get the 360 and DOA4

MikeS 18

Okay, Salem NH store this morning had 52 units that they sold. I arrived at 8:10 for a listed 9am open. They actually opened at 8am.

Spoke with one of the kids working there and he said that they were probably all spoken for by 2-3am since that many people camped out.

I talked to a lady - early 40s I would say - who was cleaning up here stuff from the night before. She was at the front of the line (probably 1st 5 or so) and she started waiting at 2 yesterday AFTERNOON.

No thanks, the boys can wait til January.

srika

more Moto GP 2006 screenshots - this sure is a beauty.

wow, wow, wow....and wow

cusdaddy

Here is a cool DOA4 picture...

Halo versus Ninja Gaiden. I love the fact they are including a Spartan from Halo in the game

ABPTSX

Wowwwwww those screenshots of PGR3 and MotoGP are insane!!!! I have PGR3 but now HDTV so its just not the same. But wow these shots from MotoGP really show just how much the Xbox 360 is capable of.

is300eater

okay, so I have two dumb questions....

1) I know you can play the old xbox games on the 360, but how about going live? Can you play the old xbox games on line with the 360?

2) ...and if you have the xbox with hard drive, do you still have to buy 64 memory unit to save games?




...sorry, I know their really dumb questions, but I'm really clueless on these things...

SRK85

Question 1 yes you can play xbox live on xbox games i play halo 2 all the time.

2. No the HDD can save games.

ghost_masterCL

BUT.. only if the game is supported by the xbox emulator for online support. Some games that are supported only alow offline content to be used. Check the xbox website for a compatibility list.

thanks guys

Holy crap street fighter 2 online fighting thats awesome.

cusdaddy

I'm very excited. SF2 is one of my favorite games of all time.

Xbox Live Arcade is really turning out to be a killer app. Great fun games, free demos, cheap prices (full game) and the promise of good games coming down the pipeline. Capcom, Konami, Midway and Sega have pledged to release their old arcade games on Live Arcade with updated graphics, sound and online play.

Playing SmashTV and Gaultlet with my friends over Live is so much fun and brings back so many memories. I can't wait for the new games.

Burnout Revenge

Burnout Revenge is awesome on the old Xbox, it doesn't suprise me that it would look this good on the 360.
