The link has information on all of the add-ons. Sounds pretty cool if you ask me. I am really looking forward to the MechAssault goodies.

That's pretty cool...

Almost makes me want to have around 500 dollars in my hand out of nowhere.. :D

I wish I had a job.. :(

Xbox Live won't get my attention until we see some AAA titles online...

Halo 2, Perfect Dark 0, Rare MMORPG...I'm talking about you guys :)

[BlueFire]

XBox Live already has my attention with Mechassault and UT.

I played Mech Assault and Unreal today... They were both good.


I made fun of so many people.... It was priceless.

I've noticed sometimes the chats that you have with people are more fun than the game itself. It's almost sad in a way though. Yesterday I was playing a game of MechAssault and this stupid guy would never shut up, he kept on going on and on about an episode of Duck Tales or something. He wasn't even playing the game for crying out loud. Then this guy came on and blasted him out... he shut up.

Ya... I was making fun of this guy called "MOOjuicer". He wasn't replying, so I just kept on saying "MOOjuice MOOjuice MOOjuice MOOjuice MOOjuice MOOjuice MOOjuice". lol. Then he replied, and I made fun of him. LOL. Good times.

It's weird, because some games every single person will be talking and they will never shut up. But in other games people are dying for others to talk. The communicator really adds another dimension to gameplay.

If we had Xbox Live here in Australia, I'd be loving it.

I'd definitely play fighting games online! CVS2 any1?

But we don't have the servers here. Damn lame asses. We have to pay extra for online incentives, and we don't get to go online :mad2:

What do you mean? You have to pay extra for online incentives, but you can't even go online? That doesn't make sense....

Possibly... they ended up paying for built-in ethernet, but they can't go online with it anyway?

That's not really an incentive though... it was built-in. If Microsoft specially made Australian Xbox's without it you might end up paying even more.
