Kameo
PDZ

[mrhahn]

coduty2
condemned
perfect dark zero se
kameo
advanced scart lead
and if the us games are region free ill be ordering rr6 and doa4 from vg+

[PeteJ]

Advanced lead for the optical sound
PDZ
PGR3

Either Kameo or Kong. Perhaps both

[sj33]

The delay of DoA4, RR6 and Burnout Revenge has certainly made this less strain on my wallet, as I want both. That said, if the US or JPN release is region free, I'll go for that.

Looking at these for launch:

Kameo
Perfect Dark Zero: Limited Edition
Quake 4

And the following two are a maybe:

Project Gotham Racing 3
Comdemned

Not sure what to do about them... I mean, I've not really played much of PGR, not sure if it will be my kinda thing. I tend to perfer arcade racers to simulation racers, not sure which way PGR swings.
As for Condemned... it's recieved suprisingly decent reviews, but I also heard it's a very shallow experience, not really providing the Resi-alike I'm looking for. Maybe I'll wait for the demo.
I found the demo of NFS: Most Wanted on the PC to be fun, and I did always like the Hot Pursuit series. But the custom car bits don't appeal to me one bit.

Accessories?

VGA Cable (Superior quality and 1360x768 output)
Charge & Play Kit
Second Wireless Controller (Is PDZ co-op?).

[ItsThere]

Premium Pack
PGR3
PDZ
Extra Wireless Controller
VGA Cable

Thinking about Kameo OR maybe Quake 4 as asked for Condemmed for Christmas with a play and charge pack.

[Family Fry]

Xbox 360 Pro System
Play & Charge Kit
VGA Cable
Perfect Dark Zero
Project Gotham Racing 3
PERHAPS Kameo we will see.

/noob after all these hours researching Cheers though, saved me some cash!

I notice you are getting a VGA cable, I assume you got a dvi-vga converter for your LG? Not sure if the difference between component and vga will be worth while, though I obviously want to get the most out of the screen.

[NeilMcRae]

Probably not on that screen

[MACO]

Pckd up my first PAL 360 game today COD2! Just a few days more and I'll be able to play it.

on the list:

PGR3
PDZero
Kameo
Play and charge kit

Hopefully Kong/Tiger Woods for Xmas

[ShadowDancer]

Premium Pack

PDZ
PGR3

Going to buy either Kameo or undecided between a few via the net.

Thanks.

No RGB Scart with the machine, Premium Pack comes with a wierd dual cable that does both Component and Composite, and comes with a Scart adaptor block, like current gen consoles do.

Naturally you'll wanna buy an official Scart cable, or VGA cable.

Yeah, I'm having second thoughts now. I got a DVI/VGA converter cable that someone posted in the TV thread I think but thinking that it wont make a difference unless the TV is true VGA. I'll buy it and see and if it makes no difference I'm sure I can take it back easily.

Worth a shot, I'll let you know if it improves quality or not to save you buying one too.


Good to see a few people buying Tiger Woods 06 too.

Thought I was going to be the only one, I love Tiger games so cant wait to sit down and have some nice relaxing games of this. Tis an ace game. Looks incredible too.

What set do you have again mate? If the input is DVI-I like mine, it supports VGA native anyway.

DVI-I being a connector that supports DVI-D and DVI-A.
DVI-A = VGA, same thing.

I'm going for the VGA cable, plugging into the DVI-I port on my TV. Pure RGBHV input, and 1360x768 1:1 upscaled output
