Got mine this morning Brett. Was the first to pick one up as soon as the shop opened :P

Got Call Of Duty 2, and have been playing it all day... graphics are awsome - 'specially on my 42" HD plasma B)

Just one prob though, can't connect to X-Box Live - say's it can't get a connection ...

[Brettster]

Thats strange? did u use xbox live before you got the 360?

same cable should get you connected

[Mr Singh]

One of my dealers just completed the H2 Hummer.

first xbox 360 in car

first network in car wired and wireless

first media center server in car

first windows media connect service in car

first windows media center extender in car, both 360s have the ability to view and record tv served from the media center server, plus everything else associated with media center

first xbox 360 demo vehicle

But yes, seems there a shortage of them

[Brettster]

Very Cool

Got it sorted... turned out the network sharing on my pc had been disabled :)

[Mr Singh]

However.

Some people are ungrateful of the privilege of owning one...

Xbox 360 console (white disc tray)

Xbox 360 controller

Xbox 360 faceplate

Xbox 360 standard AV cable

Xbox live silver membership

PROS: Cheaper, lighter, not so much of a loss if you get burgled

CONS: You'll need a memory card to save your games on @ £22.99, no futuristic wireless controller.

PREMIUM EDITION £279.99

Xbox 360 console (silver disc tray)

Xbox 360 hard drive (20GB)

Xbox 360 wireless controller

Xbox 360 faceplate

Xbox 360 headset for online voice chat

Basically you're getting £140 of stuff for free :winky:

[Adie]

Cheers Tony. But they sold out again in about an hour

I've managed to source a Premium pack now though for a pretty good price :D

So UK machine can play Jap & US games? what about DVD?

[Brettster]

The UK machine is region coded to UK region 2 for dvd's and also region coded for games, but some of the games out at the moment are not region coded, it was the same on the original xbox certain games did not have any region check so would work on any xbox.

[Adie]

Finally got mine today. Great bit if kit and some wicked games. :D I've managed to hook it up with the wireless network thingy and got online...
