Theres a button on the desk near it. Look on the desk and you'll find it.

Ah right, i must be blind .

 

Cheers.

 

Edit: Killing Andrew Ryan was a little bit gruesome and weired wasn't it .

Edit 2:...And that Atlas...what a son of a bitch.

Yeah with the golfclub, pretty sick.

 

Yeah all that time he was using me! TBH he was a pretty easy last boss though. Big Daddys were harder!

 

Also, what ending you get? I got the good one, for saving all the Little Sisters, and you get 100G for saving 'em all

I've not finished the game yet, currently at the part where i'm finding all the Big Daddy parts (just got the helmet left) i think it's after a coded door but it's impossible to hack and i can't find the code.

 

I thought i was near the end of the game aswell lol, i presume i'm not that far off now?.

 

Also i'll probably get the good ending due to me saving every little sister instead of harvesting them .

Oops, my mistake, hope I didnt spoil anything.

Nah not really, i've already started chasing him so i know i will be killing him, plus all the other 'bosses' have been easy (maybe becuase i'm playing on easy though ).

 

Also just got two Splicers types to reserch and then Rosie and the other Big Daddy type aswell.

Hi guys looks like someone has got a demo version of the dashboard, It appears the avatars are missing though but it shows you a few things, like how game copying is going to work.

 

 

 

 

 

also just noticed GTAIV is 6.7gb'ish thought we could only get 4.7gb on a DVD

 

 

and also it took about 9 seconds to copy 1 percent therfore GTAIV should take Roughly 15mins to install to HD

So what the hell is the point in installing the game to the HD if you still need to put in the disc? Why bother.

Faster loads. Thats why PS3 does it.

It is so we dont go down to the Rent a game shop copy it to the hard drive then take it back. this is no big deal you dont have to install your games to HD if you dont want to Even if you do then its no different than what you do allready to play a game, Except while your still waiting in a loading screen we would have been playing the game for 2 minutes.

[Seddo]

Plus if you install to the HDD then the disc wont be spinning, so the console will be a lot quieter plus it will save your discs getting scratches, just like my 360 scratches discs to f*ck.

I know that, but it just seems like a waste of time just for improved load times. I know I won't be doing it just to shave a few minutess here and there.

i personally think its to stop the problem of This disk is unreadable rubbish when your in the middle of a game for those who get that.

[Gouveia]

And also, it'll make the console last longer, since all the data will be streamed directly from the HDD and the disc will only be used for recognition. I'll buy a bigger HDD for it, f*ck it. Since it'll make my 360 last longer without RROD'ing, I'll do it.

[SHXC]

I'm all for change. I love it, but I think I prefer the dashboard we have now. I'll use the other one no problem, i just prefer the look of the one we have now.

 

Will we still have themes and/or be able to change the background?

[Torcidas]

I guess it's to prevent from people sharing their discs.

[Seddo]

Apparently so, themes should be useable and will sit behind the "boxes".

You'll still be able share discs despite the option to install to HDD.

What's the point then, if you're going to need the discs anyway to play it?

 

This is all just a giant paradox.

[Seddo]

It's basically for faster load times for the games. Also installing the game to the HDD means that the disc won't be spinning inside the disc drive meaning the console will be alot quieter and the console want scratch discs or even give you disc read errors.

You install it for quicker loadtimes and so the console lasts longer since the disc isn't spinning while you play. It's also quieter. Convenience, mainly.

No, no, I already know that from reading this topic.

 

FunkyChunky questioned why the discs are still needed if you install it, and I suggested it's to prevent from people sharing their copies with others to install.

[Digital Murders]

Wait, so I guess my question is, how do you get this? Is it just an update?

[Seddo]

This will all be released for the 360's Autumn update which will probably be around October time.

Yeah if you have an xbox connected to the internet then you will be prompted to download the update and it's mandatory that you do so.

[Banana]

I really want that install game to HDD. No more disc is unreadable message! And I can finally get some use out of my 120 GB HDD.

[SHXC]

Does anyone know if GTA3 works on the 360? If I was to buy it as the old Xbox game, will it work?

[Chadg]

 

Does anyone know if GTA3 works on the 360? If I was to buy it as the old Xbox game, will it work?

pretty sure as I played GTA:SA on it, I'll go check.

 

EDIT: Well it doesn't say GTA3, but it has the trilogy on there. I'd say it would work.

[Jackmackg]

yes it does work. i have gta 3,vc,sa on the xbox and they all work fine. gta 3 and vc lag a lot on the 360 but if you want to play it go ahead.

[The-King]

Shoot and/or beat the f*ck out of him, it's pretty much the only way as far as I know.
