I spent about 300 hours on this game. Probably more.
If every 360 I've owned wasn't a box of missing screws and bolts, I'd have put about the same in FO3+expansions, IM. As it stands, I'm waiting for my 6th to get repaired.
Sheeeeeeeeeeit. That sucks. I had 1 360 Red Ring on me twice. New one has no problems, so far. Expansions are great.
Agreed on expansions. From what I played, they were awesome, especially the Alien one. I've gotten new systems every time, til this one. It was just past the warranty date and the disk drive suddenly stops working. Jesus H. Christ again!? was indeed, my first thoughts.
the you doing to those things? six boxes? wow...
Never had mine ring, and it's gonna be 5 years old...
2 Red rings, one simply wouldn't display, couple weird errors that I had to battle for warranty coverage, and now the disk drive. The room never gets hotter than 75 degrees, usually more like 70. There's an A/C unit blowing almost directly at the TV and systems.
Meanwhile, first PS3 has worked without a hitch for several months now.
it'll be good
Honestly.... why play this game on a console?
It's so much better on a PC in regards to mods and such.
I guess if a Console is all you got for gaming and your PC cant run it.....
Dont get me wrong, Im not trying to make this another Pc vs Console thread.... I have said before, I own 2 Xbox 360's, a PS3, a Wii and almost every console before them.... The lone exception being a 3DO.
There are just some games I believe are better played on certain platforms.... and this game screams PC. You get more out of it.

I can't and don't game on PC. I'm just not comfortable doing it. Sticking to Console. My bro will be playing this on PC, though.
Each to his own I guess.... There are just certain games I feel MUST be played on PC to get the "real" experience out of them... this being one of them.
My brother is like you...
He has Dragon Age, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Mass Effect 1 and 2 for the Xbox/Xbox360.... I tried playing all of them on the console and it sucks IMHO compared to PC.
Now, racing games (Dirt, Dirt 2, ect), even though I have an Xbox360 controller for my PC and can run them flawlessly on my PC, I like to play them on a console. Im wierd too in my own way.
I think with Fallout 3/Vegas it comes down to the fact that its First Person.... First Person cant be beat on a PC when it comes to PC vs Console gaming. Mouse and Keyboard are much more natural for that type of game.
Some people just dont have the hand/eye coordination for it though.... Its okay if your slow in the head.... I mean, you are a Laker fan so its not like I can really make fun of you for it....
Just messin' with ya I.M.

I still got expansion packs to finish.. I just started playing Fallout 3 a month or so ago and I'm hooked..
I played Fallout 3 on PC when it first came out. Since then I have ditched PC gaming and now only have a 360.
I don't play video games much these days but I might get this one since I loved Fallout 3. But I agree, First Person Shooters on consoles are pathetic compared to PC. Using a joystick to move the cursor is about as re ed as it gets. PC gamers take their twitch-skills very seriously
I have only seen one or two videos of New Vegas. It looks exactly the same as Fallout 3 but with new maps. I will probably pull the trigger though. , I might replay Fallout 3 too.
Rumor mill:
Similar to Dragon Age: Origins, at character creation the player can select from different background stories. The first few hours of the game are different depending on which background you choose, and you get some unique perks based on your background when the main game begins.
One background story is shown, Chinese Agent. The background story takes place before the bombs fell. The player is part of a team of Crimson Dragoons infilitrating Hoover Dam. You manage to sneak through the Americans' defenses, set explosives, and head to an extraction point, but your escape is cut off by American soldiers in Power Armor. The player and other survivors of the Crimson Dragoons take refuge in a cave in the canyons, where they commit hari kari with cyanide capsules. The player about to do the same when the bombs fall. The background story ends an indeterminate time later, when the player exits the cave, removes his helmet, and sees his ghoulish reflection in the waters of the Colorado River.
The background story segues into character creation. The player can customize the appearance of the ghoul, and you see you start the game with two unique perks. One, similar to the Ghoul Mask in Fallout 3, makes Feral Ghouls non-aggro. The other makes the player immune to radiation sickness and allows the player to discharge ac ulated radiation in a blast similar to a Glowing Ghoul, healing the player and any mutants while damaging all non-mutants in range.
By default, the Chinese Agent has the skills Sneak, Small Arms, and Explosives tagged and SPECIAL stats set, although the player can modify their tagged skills and stats if they don't like the template.
One character background option is Lone Wanderer. This selection has no background story or template and is a complete blank slate for players.
The SPECIAL system used will be similar to Fallout 3, but skills will be harder to cap and one character will not be able to become a master of all skills. The article is not very specific because apparently it's something the developers are still tweaking.
Gambling will return, but not as a skill. Your Luck stat will effect gambling results. You can attempt to cheat at cards using your Sneak skill or hack slot machines using your Science skill.
There will be vehicles. The desert of New Vegas dwarfs the Capital Wasteland and you will need transportation to get around and explore it. You will acquire a vehicle several hours into the main quest. You can customize your vehicle with parts bought at shops or won through racing circuits and quests. Vehicles will not be common, but you will encounter road gangs, merchant caravans, and other vehicles in the wastes. The open desert is home to some very large mutant creatures, like giant radscorpions and sandworms, that will attack your vehicle.
New Vegas has a coliseum run by a slaver gang called the Caesar's Legion. You can gamble on and participate in arena fights.
T-12 days to release...
i had one that coulndt dlisplay. thats when my Best buy warranty came in handy, got me a new one and then they gave me a 50 gift card since the price had gone down. im hoping mine breaks again so i can get the new 360 with built in wifi. im tired of using an ethernet cable.
A little less than that for us
You would hope..A little less than that for us
! So many games coming out or have come out recently, I need to get some money for this tbh
Already got Madden and Halo Reach but I still need ~190 dollars for 2k11, New Vegas, and Black Ops.
Installing to hard drive. year
Just noticed... let's see what it looks like
Ive had 3 360's 2 originals one finally red ringed last year. Was repaired and I gave it to my lil bros. My other launch 360 still going strong and a new 360 purchasesd last xmas with no problems. I guess Im just lucky. Do you smoke in your house?
Countless hours spent on FO3.. and every Elder Scrolls game Bethesda does. Can't wait for Vegas...
FWIW, the background stories thing is BS.
