Hi, having seen Bretts Forza 2 fc, thought it may be worth us all listing our xbox live names? Sorry if this has been done, i couldn\'t search for some reason... any of you lot on live feel free to add me as a friend. :)
I\'ll start;

All of these details are already in the members section (blatant plug for joining up as a full member) :Giggle :wave
I\'m BrettMRC - feel free to add me to your friends list - will go online in a mo :)
in a week or so i should be DtheBUK
have to buy the xbox and find the old account 1st
Awesome! A reason to talk about games... :) It\'s my first passion.. my other expensive hobby is Japanese Arcade Machines.. plus i have a console/game collection that is worth about 10x my cars value.. :)
XBL Gamer Tag is - Retro Boy G .I\'m on most nights.. tried Forza 2 in the shop yesterday after seeing the FCs on here.. It\'s just far too slow for me.. there is no real sense of speed i feel.. it says you are going like 190mph when it looks more like 30mph. I like the online auction feature and the editing.. but as a racing game i don\'t rate it very high.
Anyways, add me. :)
The speed feeling on FOrza is very much dependant on the view you are using IMO :wave

I am on a fair bit, but currently concentrating most of my gaming time on Rock Band. It\'s the one game my missus enjoys so I can legitimately hog the plasma....

yeah i must admit i have a large collection of games consoles and games - no idea what the hell to do with them all - but i just keep buying them and sticking them in a cupboard
here is a list of what i have off the top of my head ( should be interesting )
Mega Drive ( 2 of )
N64 ( 2 of )
Playstation Original ( boxed as new )
Dreamcast ( boxed as new )
PS2 ( chunky one - boxed as new )
XBOX ( 3 of - all chipped running media centre )
XBOX 360 ( 2 of - one boxed as new - one in peices but works fine )
DS Lite ( 2 of )
Neo Geo Pocket
Atari Lynx ( original one - boxed )
Game Gear ( boxed )
Game Boy Advance
Game Boy ( 2 of i think )
Atari Jaguar
SNES
Sega Saturn
Atari Lynx, Nice. Didn\'t think they\'d be many of them around still. Way ahead of the Gamegear in its time.
i had one years ago and i picked it up cheap - so couldnt say no :D
I had an Atari lynx! Also had a 3DO. Anyone remember those? Not that good, but need for speed on it was great!!
Just wanted to say time trials (\'ring) - 6:37.246 - no penalties and I reckon I stuffed up on at least 15 corners - although the xbox live title currently stands at 5:59.588! :god
Going for a 6:20 now :)
This is in the 962c for those not in know :)
What are other peoples best times so far? Pretty certain there must be quicker people on here? :wave
bloody hell matey - thats impressive
Still only ranked 3180 on the ring though! :(
Nice collection Grinder! Now you just need some Jap stuff.. Starting with the PS2 and Xbox 360! Some awesome awesome games on both.. I\'m mainly working on my arcade collection these days.. its not cheap though.. Only got the 2 machines now but i had 5 at one point.. got one sited in my work which helps pay for the hobby! :)
i have both of those machines - not sure about the PS3 yet - no where to put it !!
im sure i have more - but cant think of them !!
Yeah, but i mean the NTSC-J versions of the consoles.. ? apologies if thats what you meant..
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !! :D
never been into the jap scene to be honest - i did have a jap mega drive many moons ago
It\'s where all the games are at dude.. Well if you like your 2d fighters and shmups then Japan pretty much is the best place in the world.. i think i might just be anal about stuff like this.. but i tend to own a system from each region.. apart from USA stuff.. but got pretty much most consoles on PAL and NTSC-J formats.. I reckon if i sold my whole collection i could buy 2 FD\'s and insure them.. haha.. But unlike Cars.. gaming stuff holds it value and most of the time increases.. so i tend to keep a hold of my stuff.. i call it my rainy day fund. :)
btw, a PS3 in jap only cost 150quid!!
anyone play with DS lite?
i can get R4 cards, which allow u to dl games n play them on the DS lite. can fit about 20 games ave on a 1 gig memory.
anyone interested in one?
its simple plug n play in DS lite n just drag n drop the roms form ur pc to the mem card.
price around 45 ukp. not bad as wont have to buy no more games for ds ever lol
Those things are going to put me out of a job soon.. :(

not really, as cant be sold on ebay as uk does not allow them.
guessing u work at game or sth similar to that??
I\'m the manager at an indie up here in Scotland.. It\'s hard enough as it is fighting with Supermarket prices... :(
the R4DS is a great chip - last one cost me £28 inc the 1gb card , r4ds , case , stylus , usb charger and screen protectors
im sure that R4 has been shut down though :(
Just to be really irritating. I have to say, you should have all got a PS3!!

You\'re wrong and you know it :evillaugh
360 FTW - the PS3 will have to seriously improve with its front end on multiplayer facilities before I consider purchasing one. :wave
ive got one..they are ****. haha..
