mine scratched too, after never having left the optical drive.  and it takes up a ton of space (7-8gb?) on a very small HDD if you do install it.

the gewgles is your friend.  it's something like, you go to your hdd and select install game.

[Saulbadguy]

yeah.

Insert game.  Highlight game under my xbox or w/e, then hit Y (game details?) and select install to hard drive.  Do NOT do this for Halo 3, if you play that garbage game.

They had an update that pretty dramatically decreased the file space needed for saving games. No idea what they did, but it cut down a few GB for some of mine.

Hopefully Treyarch doesn't become a lot of punk ass sniveling bitches like Activision has.

Oh and I hope they make this game not suck, either.

Steam for Mac, April 12th

looking forward to it

[goldenticket]

anyone looking forward to red dead redemption?

[kstatefreak42]

RDR looks good. I'm just drooling over NCAA fball 11.

[ew2x4]

Hey 42, boot up NCAA Football 1997 and just update the rosters. It's the same exact thing.

And Red Dead Redemption looks really really good.

[PowercatPat]

I'm looking to buy an XBOX 360 soon. How much will it cost me to buy and Arcade 360, Live with Wi-Fi adapter, and COD or Halo? tia

[kstatefreak42]

This will be the best NCAA Football EA has made for the 360. And I agree they have all been the same rough ridin' thing. But they have added all new equpiment. Including brand new nike, adidas, under armour cleats, Towels, handwarmers, new helmets etc. And from what ive heard/read, they are using the technology madden used. So if the gameplay is anything like madden ill be happy. But when it comes to EA sports and college football, im ready for a dissapointment.

[ew2x4]

Yeah, what socks the guy is wearing is really important. I can't believe people buy it every year.

Obviously Gameplay is the #1. but the little things (to me) are important. I like having all the extra crap lol. I feel like we were playing in the 90's with the helmets/etc.

[goldenticket]

yeah i wasnt planning on it but im leaning to getting red dead redemption. if you preorder from amazon (360 / ps3) you "get a $20 Amazon.com Gift Card. Additionally you'll receive access to an Amazon exclusive in-game golden guns weapon pack, which let you gain fame faster (fame gains you access to in-game side missions)" so thats cool

Anyone playing the Halo: Reach beta? I haven't played Halo 3 or ODST in ages. Thought they were awful. Reach is pretty damn fun though. Surprising.

That lawsuit should have no effect on Black Ops, since Black Ops is Treyarch's COD title. now Modern Warfare 3 could be a whole other problem, since that is Activision/Infinity Ward's COD title.

I don't recall, but did Call of Duty 5 have nearly as many problems as Modern Warfare 2 has?  I don't remember the constant bitching while playing World at War.

[pissclams]

world at war sucked.  treyarch sucks.  activision sucks.

people might bitch because MW2 isn't a perfect game but it's still sold 2x as many copies as world at war.

Yeah, we know you don't like the series. I'm not a terribly huge fan to be honest, but Reach is fun.

Tried it yesterday. Never played ODST that much. Just stuck to Halo 3 for mindless relaxation. Reach was pretty cool. It was different. Took a little while to get used to the controls for me, not sure why they switched them up.

The changes to the maps make them useless to me, too confusing. But i did like how you can tell if a person is on a different level/story than you, not just right around the corner.
