Quote from: Grumpmeister on July 09, 2021, 08:30:03 AMThe 360 does have built in anti piracy soft/hardware so your usual supplier of dodgy discs is probably not going to be any good in this case. The protection can also block games with the wrong region code in some cases. I forgot about the Crysis series, a pretty good trilogy of science fiction shooters. The first game is still infamous as being so graphically overpowered the top end PC hardware available when it was first released wasn't good enough to run it at full spec. I'm in 2 minds whether to recommend Far Cry 3 to you. It's a good game but it's seriously twisted in parts.If you enjoy Assassins Creed 2 then AC Brotherhood and AC Revelations complete Ezio's story.Excellent! Also, I need a game that I can pretend I haven't played before but then thrash an eleven year old....

I hate to tell you this but assuming that there are still 11 year olds playing on the 360 they would have sunk so many hours into the games that compared to you they will be Godlike and will obliterate you before you even know they are there. That being said Call of Duty or one of the Halo games (Reach might be your best bet plus it has a good single player story and is the prequel to Halo), either those or Destiny if the PVP is still available but you would need to level up your character first.

Bet they go for a fortune We've extended this house 4 times and each time I've thought 'that'll make room for a Scalextric track/pinball/pool table/bar billiards and somehow it never has. Probably on balance a good thing but Two people I know got themselves juke boxes, even I think that's a daft move

Fully refurbished (and none of your electronic shyte) I think he wanted €350! Bloke up the road has a Wurlitzer Jukebox - it is pretty but what is the fucking point of that...? Perhaps an old one-armed bandit instead...?
It has to be a Wurlitzer, anything else is just tat. But apart from it being an elephant in the room, sourcing content is an issue otherwise it's just the same 100 tracks and then there's maintenance. Seems there's one guy in the South of England who both knows what he's doing and doesn't charge an arm and a leg. Amazon Music played through the Telebox will do for me and I bet there's an XBox Jukebox App
