Facebook and Twitter arrive November 17 on Xbox Live in the UK

Nice now all i want is this sky crap to come in, maybe then i would consider not moving to Virgin!

EDIT: Fake boobs look silly in a serious fighting game but damn i dont know why but i like em lol. Episodes from GTA is a standalone pack you dont need the original game to play them, you just load it up like a normal game just that you cant play the niko missions, i think i might get the disk because i dont own the lost and damned so maybe the disk for me is better value

DAMN at the IGN review! That is sick! 9.4 is a fantastic score! Now all those who think it will be shit can just hide in the corner, the detail in the game is superb!

Im getting Forza instead of Modern Warfare 2; i mean £45 for MW 2 is just stupid because Pro Evo 2010 is only £30 and Forza 3 £35 and those games have much more replay value than MW2 i dont care how many fan boys it has or how good its mulitplayer will be. Im not saying that such and such is a better game than MW 2 or to buy those games instead just looking at the value of MW 2

Here the GTA expansion disc is €40, it works out cheaper to buy the 1,600MSP GTA cards if your local store has them in stock but Play have ten quid off on the disc,
.

TLAD was pretty good, a solid 10-12 hour expansion, a chunk of new songs, some new bikes, some tweaks so the bikes handle better, some new multiplayer modes and some new achievements. Gay Tony expansion adds more new stuff in the game such as parachutes lol, I say it will be good.

Can't wait for Forza 3, dying to play it, played the demo so many times I wish it was more than a 2 lap race. It's cool they're releasing DLC on launch day, 10 classic cars and 2 new tracks and it's free.

Here's the GameTrailer's video review if you haven't seen it: CLICKY

I don't get why people are saying Forza 3 looks crap, graphics don't make a game, but it looks amazing compared to the previous game. Mmmm Ferraris :D

Gran Turismo 5 may look better, or at least on par with it.

Also Dirt 2 in DX11 should look better, but i haven't seen a lot of it being played.

Forza 3 does look real nice tho.

i wouldnt be surprised if gran tourismo looks better because they deliberately delayed it again once the forza 3 release date was confirmed

all in a pathetic attempt to get it to be better than forza 3

its been delayed for so long and people think thats okay but look at gran tourismo psp it was meant to be a launch title and frankly it was really average even after all the delays

anyway no game released yet so you cant just say such and such a game, dirt 2 was okay but its a bit boring after a while and i havnt seen its directx 11 yet which sounds amazing actually oh and dirt 2 isnt out yet on pc till december

Wow, Tekken 6 is out in 3 weeks, completely forgot about that. Is it me or did it kinda fly under the radar? Hope there's a demo so I can see what the gameplay is like, I also hope there isn't stupid retarded bouncing boobs. That's the reason I didn't get Soul Calibur 4. :shadedshu

Boobs are great, whats wrong with you?

gran tourismo is out on psp and there are a few titles out there that are good, but its not a good handheld because most of the games are just like home console games its not portable in the least
i dunno but mobile games sector is where its at these days, they are developing for iphone and now zune and even google android

lol davek hates fake boobs

Forza 3 has good graphics, the new engine is better then Forza 2 (that one looked like borked) the physics is good , both NFS : Shift and Forza 3 are great racing titles this year.
Waiting for the Assasins Creed 2 ;]

I wouldn't call it total Shite, as i own it, but you have to take into concideration that the game is on the PSP, which most racer games (most games in general) don't get anything better than Mediocre reviews. The only disappointing thing to me is the "sense" of speed but the best way to fix that is just do a dashboard view.

Anyone hear Mass Effect 2 MIGHT (as in still a rumor) be on the PS3 as well?

Ya, some online sites has been asking the devs about it and they haven't dismissed it,but if there is one, it probably won't be out till a long time after the 360/PC release.

Tho, I am one of the very few that dislike Mass Effect, so it doesn't matter to me.

okay GT PSP isnt shite its just a bit to average for the hype and delays it had

they said mass effect was coming to ps3 way back when EA bought bioware but the developers never confirmed it, i wouldnt be surprised as its EAs game now

if one company is to do a good game even with EA interfering its bioware becasue they can do no wrong

It's no secret that you get ripped off trading in your games, consoles and accesories, but for fuck sake I got €16 for Fight Night Round 4 brand new and sealed. I got that much for trading in my used DiRT 1, yes the first one that was 2 years old and used. Sold Tiger Woods 10 for €21.

They're all a load of robbing bastards. When I got the games I asked how much they were worth, they said €50, what, a month and a half later they're worth fuck all? Why aren't they both €21? They were both worth €25 when I checked :shadedshu

Atleast I have Forza 3 and Modern Warfare 2 pre-ordered. I was hoping to get that €50 for Forza 3 so I'd only have to pay €10, now I have to find €23, I don't even know how much MW2 is because the guy said he didn't know :confused: I heard it was €65, but Play have it for €60 which is bad because Play normally have new games for €50, so I'm guessing it's going to cost €70.

The trade in cost at any game place depends on the popularity of the game.

It' doesn't matter if its new or used, i wouldn't have sold it especially sealed to a game store, for example Modern Warfare still cost 45 dollars (here in the US)... it's 2 years old. if you trade it in you get like 15 dollars for it. Now if you traded in a game like Dead space (which isn't 2 years old) you get like 8 dollars for it.

It is all dependent on the game and how many trade ins they get for it. I haven't traded in a game to Gamestop/Ebgames since i was about 15 than i got a job, and i just keep collecting games cause its not worth selling them for shit money.

The best place to shift your unwanted games is ebay because you get good/fair prices for them. I just sold a 2nd hand PS3 GTA4 for £15 and FIFA10 for £30 ;)

Heres the application to get into the Xbox Live Beta for that Facebook and twitter junks

https://connect.microsoft.com/XboxLIVEUpdate?wa=wsignin1.0

Hope it works, I have to get off my ass and get my console serial number, console ID and tv model number. BELKIN FTW! lol just went to my router setup bookmark in Firefox for that model number :p

Only bad thing about my survey was I don't use an audio/video receiver lol. I do use video/audio streaming, HDMI and have a FullHD TV, use wired for 360 and have >10Mb internet though :D Bet I don't get it lol

Off to get those numbers...almost 2AM lol

Although it's not one of the things I'm most looking forward to seeing, it's handy to have them on 360. Usually when I get home from school I play some 360 or watch some videos on it and it's in my living room so I don't want to go into my bedroom and start up my computer to check Facebook and Twitter, at the moment I do it on my phone and it's slow and not as good.

And I'm all for trying betas and I actually use Last.fm, Twitter and Facebook so it would be sweet to get into it.

Wonder what Sky TV is like, there's like 22 live channels and the rest is on demand. Anyone know if it's HD? I'm kind of interested if it is as I can't get Sky where I live because they don't allow satellite dishes :S
