Whos bought themselves a brand new Xbox360? i've been thinkin about getting one as my PS2 is really starting to die in the arse. it isnt playing DVDs, half my games and is having a real hard time loading San Andraes...

My brother has one, it's pretty sweet. He's only got PGR3 for it at the moment though. I personally am waiting until either a price drop occurs or there are more games on it that interest me as well. Also by then any 'gremlins' that are usually associated with first generation consoles should have been sorted by then (my brother has already had a few non serious issues with his 360).

ey dont get an xbox 360 u may as well wait a bit longer for a ps3

in the meantime why not get a psp :D

I got one on launch, its really growing on me. On a large HD TV with surround sound is awesome.

Games I got...

Perfect dark zero - single player is average, multiplayer is good

fight night round 3 - insane grpahics and great game play

PGR3 - not a huge fan but its ok

Condemned - cool game but once i finish it ill sell it, no reply value.

DOA4 and GRAW coming in the mail.

oh yeah and live rocks.

wait 6 month-12 months for ps3 release in australia? lol no thanks.

xbox will probably have about 100 games by that time and ps3 will have what 10-15?

and psp is junk.

I will buy a ps3 as soon as there are a few ps3 only titles out that are good.

Yeah i got one,

Got one on the day of the release. got it shipped to my work and played it all though lunchtime!

I got:

- PDZ

- TH Pro Skater

- Gun

and ridge racer 6 is in the mail!

I payed like $1000 and got all the preiferals and it was a good decision to make... I have been waiting since november!

FCUK PS3, it will come out sometime next year for what i hear!

Also the modchips are about 2 - 3 months away for being purchasable, but there is a hack to play backedup games but its kinda alot of effort.

Check iit out!

The issues that he's had with it so far are just things like the game has frozen once or twice, and I think that it wouldn't read the disc once (PGR3). I've also heard of some people's machines overheating, but I guess if you keep it in a well ventillated area you can avoid these problems. I've seen where my brother keeps his and I would say that it is a well ventillated area. Maybe he should have a fan on it? :wub:

Hahahaha nfsmw is crap, it's just a port of the other versions.

I got mine at midnight,

got GRAW, perfect dark 2, and PGR3.

So far i love the system, it's absolutely fantastic so easy to use and all.

I got mine at midnight from EB in colonades.

Yeah I'll admit that the system is very easy to use, I love it how you can turn the machine off from the controller! Now all they gotta do is either a) make a games stacker (like a CD stacker) so you can switch between games at the press of a button or b) let you download/install games on to the HD and then let you switch that way. The ultimate lazy man's machine! :D

Well you can download game demos to the hdd so that is more than possible. Maybe something like steam for computer in which you need to purchase a key to be able to activate software. You'd want a bigger hdd though.

You know what else is the bomb... The remote has an eject button, so you eject the dvd and then *extend go-go gadget arms* put dvd in *close dvd drive with go-go gadget arms* and its all set!

Or when the girlfriend gets up to get a drink that you asked her for, you get her to change it..

The ultmate lazy mans machine i love it too matey! :)

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
