My 9 year old brother bought me Colin Mcrae Rally 3, i hope its B/C with the Xbox 360! Just realised i left it at my grandads house as well...

I got a Joytech Xbox Control Centre thing, quite nice and saves the hassle of going behind the TV if I wasnt to play on the Xbox!

Also got the official wireless steering wheel but just couldnt get on with it, it felt nice and the force feedback was good but it just couldnt handle the car like I wanted to, everytime I drifted I'd just over correct and end up doing a 180. I did give it a good try but I feel that I'm better with the joypad so it's going back (omg the box was more complex than a nuclear missile!)

I Got a Wii, lots of remotes and nunchuks and zelda, wii play and super monkey ball. I got my girlfriend a DS lite, new super mario bros, tetris and brain training.

We've got Nintendo covered in our house

Wii, Wii Play for the 2nd controller & Zelda (for my son really... honest!)

Not managed anything except Wii Sports all day, cause it's just so god-damned good. Seeing my mum and sister playing at boxing was hilarious

It didnt go back in that bad actually! although I'm not sure it all went back in the same way

but the steering wheel/pedels are the same so looks fine :cool:

nothing gaming related though. I can however pretend that my arms are killing me from playing too much wii (the one I never received

) Maybe next year, eh...

My wife got me GOW

and a powerball, also my bro's got me some HMV vouchers so I can get myself a new game not sure which one yet.

I got Dead Rising for 360.. but am really disappointed as it seems like a great game.. but I am getting really bad tearing on my 19" TFT using VGA.

Which is a shame as it really does spoil the gameplay, makes it hard to concentrate on the game.

I did google the problem and it would seem I am not alone!.. Anyone else get this problem? Any ways of working around the bug or do I just wait until the next dashboard update?

fergie666 · 26 Dec 2006 at 12:21

is your tft widescreen ?

i had really bad tearing with DR on my standard 17" tft

then i bought a samsung 20" widescreen tft and had no tearing at all

i think it has something to do with the aspect ratio

Oh right,
No, it's not widescreen, just a standad 19" VX912.. I tried two different resolutions 1280x1024 and 1024x768.. but I get bad tearing on both. Was wondering whether theres a resolution which would be best to use... even if it's not the panels native.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue so far. I got some cash though, so I might get Yoshis Island DS with that.

MikeWild74 · 26 Dec 2006 at 17:27

World series of Poker for the 360
