When it comes out, you've GOTTA get MicroMachines!!!

Get some extra controllers & get your mates round!!!

I've also got :-

Splinter Cell (Xmas prezzie - haven't even opened it yet! )
CMR3 - quite good.....
Project Gotham Racing - BRILLIANT!!!!
FIFA 2003 - BRILLIANT!!!
Amped! - Really good (if you're into Snowboarding!)
Simpsons Road Rage - Hilarious!!
Shrek - Very funny Crash Bandicoot-type game...

Just had mine chipped (thanks DJ Dunk - BIG help!!!)

Now - where do I get the games!!!

Dan

PS - you've also got to get the DVD kit (about £25) and the upgraded AV outputs (with Optical Output) - All available from Currys

Have fun - YES, it is better than the PS2!!!

Ray, you get backup games by buying the full versions then copying them. You can then play your backup games safe in the knowledge that your originals won't get dusty.

get a hard drive fitted then just rent them from blockbuster or friends,copying games is not for people who think all you need is a cd writer and especially not xbox ones

forgot to say
dead to rights, medal of honor and mortal kombat are top games for the xbox

Best place to get the games is www.sharereactor.com.

You'll need the emule client (or edonkey, not so good)
to get them from sharereactor.

Then you need to burn them onto dvd-r's or CD-RW's.
Note they will not work on normal cdr's

Does any one know how what happens when you first fit a new chip in an X-box tried fitting mine yesterday and just got red and green flashing lights on the box and nothing on the screen. In the end I had to pull it out as I started to think I had killed my box. (works fine without chip btw) The problem might have been caused by my poor soldering but there was only on wire that really needed to be solderd as for the rest I used the pin header set and I'm pretty sure the connection for that wire was pretty good (if a bit messy but them dam holes is tiny). Please don't say 'get someone else to do it' unless you know of someone specifically in the beds/bucks area and also comments like 'you prat you've spent hours on that and now you've broken it why diddn't you just get a professional to to it you cheap skate now stop playing and come and eat your dinners before it gets cold' will be met with **** off can't you see I'm busy you stupid woman.....

do u have a chip that is compatable with your xbox? if you just bough it, then you will have a 1.1 xbox, and your chip might be designed for 1.0 xbox.
