Has been a grand few weeks of being an Xbox owner hasn't it?

*pats GoW2 box*

Haven't had a chance to strip her down and put her into my big box yet, been out drinking, but tomorrow I shall ravish her before I finish off Dead Space

 

[AsyLum]

Hmm, make that GoW2 on a new 40 inch LCD...fucking expensive month

 

[stazi]

omg which tv. congrats

 

[AsyLum]

Samsung LA40M81BDX 40", got it for $1299 at Domayne today from the big carpark sale thing they've got going.

It's an ex-display model, but with 3 years warranty, I'm not too fussed

And damn it looks nice

 

[stazi]

nice - make sure u find optimal settings online for this unit. will make it look even better. times infinity

 

[AsyLum]

Hehe calibrated using the DTV forums settings when I first booted her up, was a little too bright for my liking and most people seemed to agree.

Pretty impressed with it overall, playing through the older games to finally see them in the higher res.

 

[stazi]

yeah brightness/contrast should be done to your own taste and room. i used the halo 3 collector's edition disk to tune it perfectly for those two things

 

[AsyLum]

So that's Dead Space and GoW2 done, Far Cry II, Fable II and Fallout 3 next week

 

[Wearingmyrolex]

OMFG!!! another XBOX PRICE CUT!!!! ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG

and can you believe apparently it's only in AUS and NZL. that's pretty unusual isnt it?

Microsoft has today announced that it is cutting the price of the Xbox 360 range in the lead up to the busy Christmas season.

All models have seen a significant drop in price. The Arcade model has been reduced $50 from $349, to an impressive $299. The price of the Pro and Elite consoles have both been slashed by $100, with the Pro coming now in at $399, and the Elite at $549.

"Gaming is set to be one of the hottest categories this year. Consoles are a great gift for the whole family. Now that we’re making gaming even more affordable Australians can have more fun for less this holiday," boasted Jeremy Hinton, Xbox Australia and New Zealand marketing bigwig.

"Xbox 360 is the cheapest next-gen console on the market, has the biggest number of next-gen games and it’s the home of Xbox Live, the largest social network on TV."
