If the 360's live service wasnt so good then I think a lot of people would have given up on it.

I just hope Sony give us a few online killers - Gran Turismo should be one - I only hope they see sense and give us an online WipEout...

 

I hope for your sake that the PS3 GT arrives quicker than the PSP version has

I must admit I fancy a PS3 as well, but I haven't seen anything announced for it yet that looks worth buying the console for...

 

Oi

That does look interesting. I'll keep an eye out for that one. It'd be great over xbox live if they ever released a 360 version. It's giving me a few ideas for my first xna game

 

Sure does Reminds me of Armageddon Man that I used to love on the Speccy

Must admit i agree with the post on modding and then the thing breaking.


I'll be honest and say i had the last one done, i know Iain that piracy is something very close to you, but look from the outside as apposed to an insider. 7 games for £20, it can't be knocked.


But i'm staying true with the 360, LIVE makes the 360 and to loose that would be a terrible shame



Oh and i'm still one my original from release month

 

Also if the plans come true and you download games that should do a bit of damage to the Pirates Oooh arrrgh.




Although sod 56k dial up

 

True, but if everyone did that, there wouldn't be any games worth playing...

 

are you a games programmer?

 

Nope, I'm a business software programmer (compilers and software analysis tools), but I know several people who are games programmers.

 

is it just game piracy you disapprove or do you hate music piracy too?

 

Piracy is piracy, theft is theft. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it), I was brought up to believe certain things are wrong, theft being one of them. I personally don't possess any software that I haven't bought, and I don't have any music on my ipod that I haven't got the cd for.

Probably why I'm always broke

 

good for you

 

You can't put a price on a clear conscience

 

Should probably start a new thread but what the hell

Just pre-ordered Defcon and whilst there, ordered their other two games.

I'd heard of Uplink but never tried it. Looks like a decent thinking mans game rather than all this current eye candy pap

3 games for a total of £38 ain't too shabby. They all look like they have a fantastic retro feel to them too.

All the games can be found here : http://www.introversion.co.uk/

 

You could of got defcon from steampowered for $9

 

11 quid delivered with hard media is fine by me
