CoD4 in my book is one of the favorite games I've ever played, better than Halo 3's MP. Might have liked Halo 3's SP better, oddly enough. Orange box is godly, probably one of my best purchases, ever. Never tried burnout. If I have extra bandwidth this month, i'll download the demo.

I tried COD4 on both 360 and PC. I must say, I don't know how people can play an FPS on sticks. It feels almost like luck every time you get a kill. I guess it's just me, but I prefer KB&M over sticks any day, especially on COD4.

I got the wireless adapter for ma 360 today...Now before you insult me...My house is all wirelessly setup...We have 3 laptops and we use them wherever so a wireless router is used...So for the xbox, I had two options, get an extremly long LAN cable that goes through the whole house or do an internect connection sharing thing...the ICS was alright for awhile, but there was the lag of going through 2 devices and that I could never get NAT to open...

So the wireless adapter adds a lot of convenience...Also, I got its for $79AUD less than retail :P To think I almost bought it from a store :)

You're typing like Iron_Forge. =P

Why would someone insult you for using a wireless adapter?

I'm going to attempt to answer my own question; something to do with it causing lag?

I could be insulted because a) its expensive at retail and b) "wireless is unreliable, a cable would be better"

Also...How Iron_Forge=me? :? is it the "..."'s? I also do them. But if I'm doing too many like IF then I'm in need of pac man (wakka wakka wakka wakka) :P I don't wanna be seen as a copy of him hehe.

edit: ooh another benefit: I'll always be online when I've got the xbox on...Previously Id only be online if I was bothered to connect the cables

I don't know either :P Guess you sort of get used to it. It still seems weird to me now..

I'd rather play it on PC anyday, but as I've said many times before, my PC can't handle anything new.

Turns out my dad's $80 HD he bought for my mom's computer will work after all. He fiddled around with the old one and found that on top of the real pins was some kind of adapter that put them in a different order or something, so he just popped that off the old one and put it on the new. I should be getting my computer back soon :D

*happy dance*
