XBOX360 owner clubhouse, come on in ;)

[WarEagleAU]

depends on the specs, most LCD monitors for comps come with small 2w or less speakers. Id love to use my 1920 x 1080p Asus MOnitor with my ps3, but the speakers are crap.

 

[DaveK]

I'm using the Samsung T220HD for my 360 via HDMI and the speakers are quite good, not dodgy PSP like sound lol, they're more what you'd expect from a regular HDTV, not quite as good but better than most monitor speakers.

 

[WarEagleAU]

Duly noted.

 

[DaveK]

Yeah, it was a nice surprise coming from a 20" Samsung which had terrible speakers, the T220HD is actually a pretty nice monitor, shame it's lacking a composite input in favor of a second HDMI port lol.

Now, I need to sort out my Xbox Live account, think I'll start buying Live cards since using a Credit card is just hassle with them.

 

[WarEagleAU]

yeah I prefer HDMI though over composite. To me its a bit better picture. I love how my composite HD looks on my 360 on my LG 50" Plasma, though its only 720p. My ps3 on a 720p hdmi input Vizio looks a bit better, but the vizio is LCD.

Composite is SD, Component is HD

But I just think for a small TV it could have had composite as it has VGA, DVI, HDMI and Component but just 1 SCART and no Composite.

I was then going to say that lol, I think he meant Component....not CompoSHIT

I just think 2 HDMI cables on a 22" is a bit much lol, I have my 360 via HDMI, my digital cable box via SCART, I would have my PS2 via Composite if I could or connect my phone via composite. PC via DVI or VGA.

You could hook up a 360, PS3 and Blu-ray player to this TV (except the Component looks like SD lol) but if you had all that stuff you'd probably have a 40" or something lol

I could unplug the digi cable box and use a composite to scart adapter but changing wires is a pain lol.

 

[WarEagleAU]

That is what I meant, thanks guys.

Why are you guys worrying about the sound quality of a monitor's speakers? Just hook the 360 up to your computer speakers if you plan to use your monitor. The sound quality of built-in speakers should never be an issue, unless your monitor has an HD tuner built in, and you use it as a TV as well.

Agreed. Generally, LCD TV's that double as monitors have better built in speakers than standalone LCD monitors that have built in speakers (if you get what I mean lol)

My daughters has areally nice 19" Samsung LCD TV, but I got her a Logitech 2.1 PC speaker setup for her 360 because Guitar Hero sounds awesome on it

My 2.1 Dell speakers don't have an aux port otherwise I would have used them cos subwoofers FTW but I also lost the adapter lol but the T220HD has a 3.5mm headphone jack so now I just plug the speakers into it if I want to use them

 

[HookeyStreet]

OMG, Ghostbusters is awesome

When the theme tune kicked in during the intro the hairs on my neck stood up (how sad am I lol)

 

[Cold Storm]

Man, your not right! Your Not right!!!! GRRR! I think I'll turn on the xbox today.. lol

 

[HookeyStreet]

Does anyone want to buy a limited edition Halo 'Spartan' wireless controller that has been modified with blue LEDs, dual Rapid Fire switches and rubber thumbgrips?

I also have a matching limited edition Halo 'Master Chief' faceplate for sale

stefanels hope you dont mind but might be getting a 360 i recommended the 60gb over the 120gb only difference is the larger hdd

use 1st/3rd party vga cables, hdmi or hdmi to dvi adapter, stereo red/whte to 3.5mm jack for sound to speakers

 

[MilkyWay]

Anyone seen that new worms 2:Armageddon trailer, its hosted on tpu and its HD.
Man that look like some sick worms xbox live arcade fun. All of the old weapons return from the Armageddon to the donkey LOL, new ones like an acid gun and a turret and a bull? looks like the sheep but rams into you for massive damage.
Looks really fun, i remember playing it 3 or 4 player back on the ps1 and pc. Worms on xbox live was a disappointment i remember it looking good but then it didnt have a whole lot of weapons or levels.

But the extra 60GB worth of space does come in handy when installing games

 

[DanishDevil]

Just thought I'd give you guys a heads up here before I list my Xbox Elite with some good games for once It will come with a Red Play n Charge controller, a World Tour-style guitar with a faceplate skin, Halo 3, GTA 4, Skate 1 & 2, Turok, Guitar Hero III and World Tour, BF Bad Company, an HD-DVD player, King Kong, Transformers, and 300 in HD-DVD, a memory card (for moving your game saves around if you're upgrading) and all cables and accessories.

I've realized that the only games I play are Guitar Hero, and I've decided to buy a real guitar, so my box won't be used very often at all. Not sure about a price, but if you're interested, shoot me a PM with an offer and we can see if we can work something out. Look for it to be listed within the next few weeks.

 

[MilkyWay]

it only comes in handy for some people, for me tho id rather spend less and just install the games i play regularly

anyway the elite i think only has the space, an HDMI cable and the matt finish

i like the elite but its up to whoever is buying is the extra space what they need

 

[HookeyStreet]

Ive got 15 games for sale, let me know if any of you guys are interested:

This is my email to Xbox support:

I chose Xbox 360 Live but the Problem Type option wouldn't change from Xbox Hardware so I just chose Safety concern or issue.

My Xbox Live account has been suspended due to a problem with my payment methods. I was using my mam's credit card with permission, but the card was used fruadually and the bank cancelled it, since then I kept getting emails urging me to update my payment methods but I ignored them since I don't have money to buy prepaid cards nor did I want to call up support to an Indian call center to be put on hold for an hour, I shouldn't have to do anything yet here I am writing this email. Since I cannot cancel the card on my console, I left it. I have now been suspended from using Xbox Live, which I find absolutely ridiculous, what ever happened to the free Silver account? So because I'm not paying you're not letting me onto Xbox Live at all? And, when I went to enter a different credit card it won't let me use it, this is extremely unfair since I'm a paying customer.

Wonder what they will say. That's all I could say since you have to type the email on their website and you're limited to 1,000 characters.
