Unless yours isn't working great I'd hold off on it. Why pay $120 for a new system which does the same exact thing unless you are absolutely desperate for the extra storage space?

The new system looks sleek and all, but all in all you are paying all that extra money for something you already have. But if you really want it that bad, go ahead.

I want to move my 360 to my bedroom tv since my room mate likes to watch tv out in the living room 24/7 despite us having 4 tvs. The tv in my bedroom has 3 HDMI ports but only 1 component hd port (why I have no idea), so I couldn't hook my 360 up to it. Now that it has that, Wifi, is quieter, and comes with 250GB of storage it's a perfect fit.

Finished Red Dead Redemption. Great ending, saw how the story was gonna wrap up some time ago but didn't see the twist at the end. If you don't get the credits you're not finished. It's not over once John Marston gets killed. There's still one more mission to do, a lot of people are pissed cause they returned the game without knowing that. Overall the game was repetitive as farg but it's a fun game to kill some time.

Found people selling them on ebay for $13.99. Eh I might get one.

Got Red Dead in the mail finally from Gamefly. And it is everything people have been saying. I played for good bit last night and haven't gotten to the multiplayer yet. One thing thats tough is trying to take people out without killing them. Any strategies? Tried the lasso and it only seems to work sometimes, and also shooting gun out of their hands, this only makes them drop it for a few seconds only pick it up and keep firing at you.

shoot em in the leg and then lasso them while they are on the ground
I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.

Make sure your health is full then lasso them while they're shooting you, I never had a problem doing it that way. Also you can go to the doc's office and get some medicine that will refill your health meter to full. I went through the entire game with stuff I never used till the end, it just wasn't that hard. Some good advice is don't bother looting dead bodies, you don't need the money. I finished the game with 10K and nothing to spend it on.

I didn't even know you had a health meter. I guess you don't it's just the screen gets red when your not fully healthy. I have lasso'd them while they were shooting me and it's either you lasso them they drop gun, pick it up and kill you. or they just kill you. I can't seem to get lasso thing down. I see your supposed to hit "Y" if they are down, but sometimes I lasso people and they won't go down. Is there some other button to pull, drag or knock them down?

hold down Left Trigger, and then lasso them.  Keep Left trigger down, then run up and hit Y again to hogtie em

what sb said, master the lasso and you won't have a problem. The health meter is your screen. Some more good advice, the game gets repetitive, and boring towards the end, but wait it out, the story is really good and the twist at the end is worth experiencing.


I traded in a few games and got Transformers: War for Cybertron. It's not bad, I feel they could of done a better job in a lot of areas. I'm almost through with the campaign which is really short.

I think this might of been my problem, not hold trigger in after tossing the lasso. Sometimes its hard to tell if you got them or not so you release...ah well I'll get it down only played for hour or so...if anyone wants to do some multiplayer tonight send me a message I'm curious to explore that.

I think you're problem is that you're not scratching your balls while eating a burrito when playing.
