Check out Call Of Duty 2 also. Great game. That and Graw are the best games on the 360 IMO.

Re: 360 Advice

I am very happy. I am loving the 360...just wish I had more games.

I will be playing FIFA all night however.

Did you get the Gold Live package Diesel? I'm picking up a 360 when NCAA comes out and maybe Fifa...we'll have to catch some games in a few weeks.

Edit: I literally know nothing about the 360...do you have to have the Gold edition to play Live?

I had Live before (for regular xbox), and it just upgraded my account.

I have Fifa and it is awesome, you should definately pick it up along with a 360. Get used to the whole 360 experience before NCAA comes out.

Have you thought about using GameFly to play more games? If you are in Seattle the turnaround time would be nothing.

Hmm, that would be interesting...

I might have to look into that.

You can also purchase and keep games from them at very discounted prices.

Actually another option is Blockbuster. Here in SW Florida I can rent a 360 game with a 1 week rental for $7. Three games within a month is $21. That's all I would want to rent anyways.

I'm digging the rental idea more and more cause it forces you to play the game and finish it. I beat Tomb Raider and unlocked 80% of the game within 3 days for $7.

I just rented King Kong, don't like it as much. And that's another great thing about rentals. You get to see the flaws of a game cause you play it and your not out that much.

I find this a whole lot better than going to my EBGames buying a $60 game, not liking it and facing taking a $30 loss on the game.

After my Kong rental this week i'm going to rent PREY and give it a whirl.....no pun intended.

I think renting a game for $7 is pretty outrageous when I can get two games at a time and keep them as long as I want all for a little over $21 after taxes with GameFly. If I were you I wouldn't bring games back to EB Games either. Sell them on eBay and you get a lot more money back.

I've read to many stories about those having problems with Gamefly. I was interested in the service but decided that Blockbuster is the better option for me at this time.

I don't think $7 per week is outrageous when you factor in I can beat the game within 3-4 days. By the seventh day I don't want to see it again. And i'm not renting a game every week it's more like 2 games per month.

But if Gamefly gets it's act together I would like to give them a try. I keep reading their service is great if you live closer to their distribution center. I believe their on the West Coast and since i'm in SW Florida so there could be issues there.

Re: 360 Advice

I didn't realize you were in Florida. That makes a big difference. I haven't had any problems at all with Gamefly and I have been a member for about a little more than a year. I do wish they would open a new hub though.
