playing games with a wireless controller is far better.

Ghetto Dude3

2 game ports are on the front under the flap as said above.

i dont trust wireless, real gamers use wires

rubbish!

Wireless is spot on !!

bob269

Thats assuming the core version does have the 2 front usb ports.

Swen6

Yeah it would, the only difference between the two base units is the silver disc tray on the premium.

Plus you'll only have 3 players as there is only 3 USB ports.

StickyMicky

then why does my headset sometimes lose its signal?

why do peoples wireless steering wheels sometimes lose connections??

anything wireless is over-hyped rubbish in my book

StickyMicky

bob269

Never had a problem with the wireless controllers, the wireless headsets are supposed to be a bit of apain though...

Just had to buy a new mike as my original headset started playing up (wire possible knackered) so bought myself a wireless headset (Microsoft one) and its great imo ,haven't lost signal with any of my wireless items for the 360.

I suppose the only criticism is that you cannot use the headset whilst it's charging.

I dont like the idea of talking to complete strangers ?

messiah

I thought the same to begin with but its no different to being on a phone.

First got my 360 and didnt even take the headset out of the box, but after playing PGR3 for a while I could hear all the other players through the TV, so plugged the headset in on mute so I could hear the arguments better. Didn't take long for me to be taken out by some numptie so the off went the mute button and I started shouting something like "learn to drive you f***ing french t*at!".

And so my initiation into giving foreigners a torrent of verbal abuse was born, best one I've heard lately was "SHUT THE F*** UP YOU PORTUGUESE C*** AND GIVE US MADELEINE MCCANN BACK!!" Shouldn't laugh but... coffee on HDTV time...

American Children has the best swearing combo's I have ever heard.

whilst playing Forza .... "Hey Black..... your Mother smokes c**k for Crack"

a random swear that made me laugh so much.

StickyMicky

i felt like a **** at first but soon got into the trash talking way of life, especially with the yanks, really helps build up the pub bull**** way of chatting as the yanks are normally quite brash and decent with slang words.

i was nearly crying with laughter once when i told some proper full on aggressive yanks that they were going down like the world trade centre

i was playing gears once and some english kid started talking crap to an older yank on my team, the yank held off for a while and then snapped, the english kid was rabbiting on because the yank was called harry.

the yank kicked off and told him to stfu as he was a stupid boy and probably still wore harry potter underwear.

i got killed soon after as i couldnt see the screen for tears, the english kid started with the "momma" jokes (english people sound gay doing momma jokes, a sure sign you have been beaten in a trash talking battle anyway)

the kid disconected he was crap, he was holding us back anyway lol

On the COD4 Multiplayer Beta the server put a yank on our team to make the numbers up - first words that were spoken were "Hope he's not good enough to earn an Airstrike or we're all f***ed..."

He took it suprising good spirits...

The Brits are definately the easiest to wind up though - I accidentally changed my nationality in PGR4 to Swedish, so started handing out insults to Brits - its amazing how upset some get when you suggest they are from a different part of the UK - was playing against a group of Scousers, and after a few Ikea, Volvo & Abba jokes said "I have spent a year or two working in Hingland and I recognise your accent - you are from Manchester, yes?"

Talk about going nuts...
