Don't get Lego Batman... Yeah it's fun to kick everything, but that's it.

Get something more awesome where you can:

1) Run over buildings, dive in a hay stack and stab people with blades OR
2) a game where you have DOUBLE HANDED UZI'S :huh:

Congrats. Just get better games then Lego Star Wars :huh: (looks at my brother who could have gotten Army of Two or any other better game).


Nothing wrong with Lego Star Wars. It's a great game to play with a friend.

Army of Two, on the other hand, was generic to the max, and was altogether rather meh. Didn't have half as much fun playing that than I did playing LSW.

Lego Star Wars is good and The Complete Saga is what my brother and I are getting for Christmas, as the first game. :p

When your Xbox360 breaks because it got RRoD, do you send it to Microsoft?

You're supposed to, yes. But I didn't because I don't trust the bastards.

Will they fix it only if you have a warranty? Do you have to pay for shipping and such?

You can fix it yourself with duct tape. Open the sucker up and tape the melted piece.

I've also seen on youtube that you can put some thermal paste (or something) on the chips, as it wears off I guess.

Yes and yes. You probably have to pay to get the fucker back, too.

Only on certain 3RROD faults. not all of them are so easy.

That's handy to know. I guess I should call instead if I have problems; maybe I can avoid having to pay. :popcorn:

Yeah and he turned it down after having the option of Halo3, Army of Two, Star Wars Force Unleashed, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (dont remember which one and they rock), Call of Duty (dont remember which one again) and a ton more that I dont remember.
Wait... what?

Well more fool him. LSW is a great game, particularly The Complete Saga. I just wish I had someone to play it with, I'd play it tomorrow.

If my xbox still wasn't 3RROD dead.

Does anyone know that the PS2 cost $300 when it first came out :good:.

Anyway, the 360 has many things that make it appealing, and in your case Mirk, more games.

The PS3 and 360 graphics, as far as I can tell, are the same. It's just that the PS3's graphics could be better. Like it has been said before, PS3 has probably the most potential, and the most powerful console of this generation, excluding PC.

I have good reason to say that because the PS3 has a powerful processor. It also uses BlueRay disks, which have more space in them. Regular DVDs have 8GB-9GB of space, while blue-ray disks have 50GB.

The 360 is a good choice, but because of Mirk's case, it is brought down a lot because of no online. Anyway, most 360 games allow more people to play. Ex: Lord of the Rings Conquest for the 360 allows 4 people to play, while the PS3 only allows 2.
