Well done Cokecan!!

ps2wizz · 2 May 2009 at 22:41

I would like to congratulate cokecan on his acquisition of a brand new XBOX 360 Arcade. After all the monthes and months of turmoil over the last one with the constant baking in the oven and the unbelievable amount of modding. Would all of you join me in raising your glasses to cokecan in FINALLY getting a new XBOX.

Well done dude

Bout bloody time!

I think you'd better spend your time getting some smelling salts for those who will faint from shock though tbh

ps2wizz · 2 May 2009 at 23:41

lol i no i was their when he got it. i was feeling a bit faint myself

Kreeeee · 3 May 2009 at 00:36

Make him buy SFIV!

cokecan · 3 May 2009 at 14:16

Lol there comes a time when you get fed up of baking your xbox...(it also helps to have a new job and to have been paid

)

My last xbox has well and truely died. Even the baking trick seemed to have stopped working and it was getting annoying having to rip it appart every week or so.

Still, I'm quite pleased with the new one, £97 for a brand new Jasper Arcade that has apparantly got a years warranty with the shop I bought it from instead of having to send it back to MS.

Kreeeee; Never been a big fan of SF, plus you'd absolutly pwn my ass with your new custom arcade stick Vs me using the sorry excuse for a D-pad the 360 controller has

Neither was i, but now i'd go as far as saying SF4 is one of the best games i've ever played.

cokecan · 3 May 2009 at 14:19

is there a demo for it?

Streeteh · 3 May 2009 at 14:21

Sadly not, it can be had for less than £30 and its resale value is still rather high though. If you bought it today and sold it next week you'd probably only miss out on a fiver.

wannabedamned · 3 May 2009 at 14:25

I take it you're able to use the hard drive in your baked machine to bring the arcade up to full fledged 360 standards?

cokecan · 3 May 2009 at 14:27

yeah, just plugged it in and away I went. My original 360 was one of the original Core machines (xenon chipset) so the HDD was extra anyway. I did have to setup a few options within the dash again like IP address, auto sign in on my tag etc but all works great. I just need to run that license transfer thing to transfer all the licenses for my Arcade games to my new 360 so I can use the full versions without being connected to Live (they default to the demo versions if not)

No, but it's so popular you must know someone with it! Failing that I'll bring my sticks to the next West Wales LAN.

one of the most popular high street stores that sells more than just games is supposed to be selling this for £20 new in-store

have not checked it myself though but thats a pretty sweet deal

Unfortunitly no one I know round here has the game, guess I could just rent it from Blockbuster or somethin for a bit.

Bring your sticks anyway! I'm all for a few different tournaments to break up the GH/RB, Galo and Gears stuff

Kreeeee · 3 May 2009 at 15:20

Wasn't there meant to be a LAN soon?

cokecan · 3 May 2009 at 15:45

Seem to remember around June time but I guess when ever Az can arrange it really?

Kreeeee · 3 May 2009 at 15:52

I've got a very busy schedule over the next 2 months so I hope I can make it if he does go ahead with one

I have to bring my Wii and laptop so I can play Brawl, RA3 and StarCraft with krono, and my arcade sticks to play SFIV, as well as the usual stuff >_<

blairw · 3 May 2009 at 20:33

Buy it, dont like it, take it back, its what I done, I changed it for killzone

Kreeeee · 4 May 2009 at 17:43

Not my fault that the whole of Wales doesn't have a single Wii cable anywhere

You both need to add me to XBL again
