Helllooooooo boys
 
Well guess who's just gone and bought an Xbox :D

Got the 4 game pack of Halo, Midtown Madness 3, MOH and Timesplitters 2, also with 2 free months' online shannigans.

I'll see seeing some of you online methinks ;)

Nice one - Whats MM3 like? - Keep wondering if I should buy it?

Russ 01-11-2003 14:43

Re: Helllooooooo boys
 
MM3 is just daft - driving around smashing things up :)

The detail is incredible, you can drive around Paris or Washington and either take part in races, have the police chasing you or just driving around as fast as you like causing mayhem :)

Where from Russ? I think Game and Curry's are doing the deal for different prices. Curry's is £139 and Game is £150.

Re: Helllooooooo boys
 
I bought it from Game, the offer they had on the shelf only featured Halo and MM3, I had to actually ask them about the other two,

Great, so now while I'm getting leathered in some weighty theological debate and looking for moral support, me old pal Russ will be off trashing Paris and getting chased by the gendarmerie. Bye bye, Judas. ;) :D

Russ 01-11-2003 20:31

Re: Helllooooooo boys
 
Hey, no problem!

Come on Russ - what's your gamertag???? It would be so refreshing to debate the latest theological thinking while blasting the c**p out of aliens! LOL :disturbd:

Russ 02-11-2003 08:07

Re: Helllooooooo boys

Russ 02-11-2003 09:09

Re: Helllooooooo boys
 
No I haven't played online, but I have a voucher for 2 month's subscription when I want to start :)

Is online really that good? - Is it worth the extra £5 to NTL? - Thinking of getting another XB to play online!

:confused: Do not buy NTL's console package...it's not needed to play on Xbox Live :D and hence is a complete and utter rip-off :(

Your options:
1. Simplest is direct modem connection, only your Xbox or PC can be connected to the Internet.

2. Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). Good, but your PC needs to be on at all times.

3. The best way is via a Router. Plug all of your Internet enabled devices into the router, PCs and Xbox and all are connected at the same time. :D

4. Wireless router connecting! Sometimes the only option you have! Have a read at NTHW's new knowledge site NTLi.info for more information ;) :p

Hmm, will this be automatic membership for Russ into the NTHW clan? :lol:

Will his gamertag have "bald" in it somewhere?

Welcome to the community Russ, unfortunately it will now take untold amounts of your time & energy, reducing you to a shivering wreck when you have not been on for 24 hours.

cool, but don't let her start controling your life, such as going out with your mates, when you have your tea, time you 'have to' go to bed, how much money you have to spend on her....and above all don't be fooled when she says 'you have to buy me that one it's the only 'one' I want. There's only a few more before christmas'.

:D

Which is also less wear and tear on the computer. I have mine number crunching when I don't use it for cancer research ;)
