Gary Neville , absolute wanke_r.

Monday 7ish sounds good for me if there's any room left !!!!!

Since I've been " away " my footie skills have gone to shit , need to get playing again !!!!!!!!!!!!!.

So I ended up getting the new slim x-box 360 for 11,000 baht at MBK. I got it chipped so I can play copied games and 10 games free but only 1 pad , 2 grand for a jing jing one and 1500 baht for a copied one so I thought might aswell buy the jing jing one. The new Kinect device which sounds really sweet was available to buy for 6,500 baht but I got told that theres only 2 games you can play on it now and loads more will be coming out after new Year so I'll wait till then to buy that.

Cheers again lads for the advice :-)

scousemouse.

p.s - I get the x-box games for 80 baht , the ps3 games were 300 baht and that was one of the reasons I chose the x-box.

I got the USB chip and the external hard drive with 150 games for 4500 baht.

nice one strange

just checked out tuk-com , shame they dont have a branch in Bangkok.

Also I've been checking out the new x-box slim consule and it sounds superb. Gonna have to flip a coin methinks to see what I end up buying :-)

scousemouse.

1." get my console chipped so I can 15 games for the priceof 1 and get every new game as soon as it comes out BUT cannot play on-line ".

2." don't get my console chipped and can play on-line no probs BUT my games cost 1500 baht instead of 100 baht ".

Choice number 1 or choice number 2. Really is a tough one for me. I play Pro Evolution 85% of the time and would love to play it on-line but I also love buying loads of games in 1 go and that sunday afternoon off when I go through my library and play all day. Decisions decisions .............

Any particular reason in choosing x-box over the playstation 3? They have a USB Chip thing for the play 3 out now so you can play copy games as well, and, all the games come on a external hard drive so you don't have to worry about cheap disk copies that get scratched and glitched.

I got a set of 150 games (good games) on a 500 GB hard drive and the USB chip thing for 4500 baht and it's all plug and play, you don't have to modify the unit at all.

But, you can't go online, or play online because the unit will want to update and you can't play anymore.

Just a thought.

Its funny, everytime a person asked about xbox someone from the PS* crowd has to chime in "why you buying that?"

well. in answer to your question the new Xbox slim is out it comes with a 250 gig HD, wireless networking and is designed to use the new Kinects system, Kinects is a No remote play system, It just uses your body to play, no remote needed. also has voice recognition as well. I believe you can buy the xbox alone or bundled with kinects and a game.

The price in america is $399 or about 12000 baht, expect to pay about 20 percent more here in thailand.

cheers Greg

no chance of getting the x-box slim modded to play copy games then I presume and do you know anywhere in thailand is a good place to buy ??

thanks scousemouse.

I paid 5000 baht for a second hand play 3 with 2 controllers and that's it. It's a full size one with 40 GB of memory. I usually only have about 3-4 games using memory at one time so it's fine for me. I usually play until I beat the game, then delete and start a new game.

I bought the PS3 at tuk-com in pattaya, and the USB chip/external hard drive set on the 4th floor of MBK in Bangkok...

Play hard in MBK because they wanna charge 8000 baht for the USB/external set. Shop around.

The USB chip I got has a BIA sticker on it and is small as he'll. The external is a 500 GB unit and it says PROBOX on it.

cheers strange ,

i'm off to fortune town to have a look and i've told my bird who works in mbk to have a look for the usb/external set. You say the want to charge 8000 baht for it so i believe this is a bit on the expensive side right , so what is a good price ???. And does the ps3 suffer from over heating much ?? , according to dave111223 the x-box does and that is something we no likey :-(

If buy a modded console then you will not be able to play online.

Its a simple choice do you want access to a huge game library and play home alone or a smaller, legitimate, library and play online.

It was simple for me because I know I find myself mostly playing a handful of games even when I have a big library to choose from.

The other drawback is that with a big library you rarely get a chance to complete the game and enjoy all of its content.

Yes you pay a bit more. Its about 1500 baht for a brand new game, but you can get secondhand games for much less. But for me, its worth it.

it is a tough choice .................

Cheers Strange ,

I was originally going to buy a PS3 but thought the copied games were hard to buy when compared to the x-box and now the copy rights are dead and both consoles have the same games to play i thought i'd make a change and go to x-box. Your bit of info is going to make my shopping trip a lot longer tomorrow !!!.

Could I ask how much you payed all in for you PS3 ?? , a friend of mine payed 11,000 baht for his x-box 360 with 5 free games and chipped 250GB.

thanks again

Hi Guys , scousemouse here long time no see :-)

I'm going to be buying an x-box 360 soon and was wondering if any of you fine chaps :-) good give me a bit of info. I've been wondering what to get , obviously I want it to be chipped so I can buy my games cheaper but i've heard that if you get it chipped then it stops you playing on-line , is this true ??. I'm going to buy it at fortune town but if anyone knows someplace cheaper then I'll check there out. Also , what size hard drive is best to get the 4G , 120G or 250G ??. Any other info would be much appreciated .

Thanks a lot lads and i'll be back on soon :-)

Abhisit is giving a speech now on all channels ........

I know Brian Kidd is going to be on Mancini's coaching staff but is it also true that David Platt is aswell ???

Good luck anyway blue mancs , hope you finish higher than the bad red <deleted> , just dont finish higher than the good red <deleted> .

Cheers scousemouse

And welcome back me ol mucker

Cheers mate

I look forward to buying you a beer or 4 in Feb

Looks like the good part of Manchester is happy with the departure of Hughes.

But to get Mancini as a replacement ?!?!?! surely Gus Hiddink or a higher profile manager with premiership experience would have been a better choice. Mancini has only managed the club he played for and not for to long till he got sacked and given the league on a platter thanks to Juventus' mafia ties.

Roman A, who financially carries the Russian National side as well as Chelsea,would never allow Hiddink to break contract and go to City.

In the time Ferguson has been at United City have had 14 managers,says it all doesnt it ?

money talks charles and the good half of the mancs have got a sh£t load of it

Hi lads ,

scousemouse is back and needs to watch a fight !!!!!!!! .

Does anyone know if any bars will be showing it live ???. Last time I watched on truesports 2 on sunday morning and I'm sure it will be on the same time this sunday.

cheers lads

Scouse

I see scousemouse is back. Is the missus letting you out this weekend?

My body is not letting me out this week mate

Club for me, in fact I didn't even bother watching it last night, as I've become so used to watching a pile of crap. I think I will continue to do that, in the hope that by not watching they start putting in similar performances. I just hope that they can now follow that result up, with another good performance in the next game.

same same Mr T

It seems that this thread has created a good bit of banter for the first time in a while ,

What I've got to say is you cant stand money so whatever happens , even though not cricket! , happens ,

We all would appreciate our own team of our players I'm sure , that's why Liverpool need Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher and the rest of real football fans cheer their team because of the local lads.

Well it looks like Cisse has been keeping in shape for the new season in training. Shame he can't hit the target (the goal) but it looks much more fun smacking the ball against the wall. Can you feel the pain?????

Bet your happy with the lad now eh sunderland , nice header.

Cisse has a very impressive scoring record, other when he was at Liverpool He might at times appear a bit raw, but maybe being injury fee and in a team that he will be first choice, will show what he is capable of. Prior to Liverpool he was prolific for Auxerre, and his record since Liverpool hasn't been bad.

I did like Cisse and thought he was very unfortunate during his spell with us.

He was bought by Houlier for a club record fee but never got to play under him as Houlier got sacked and Rafa came , always tough for a player when the guy who signs you is replaced by a guy who didn't sign you before you've even kicked a ball. Then he had that horrific leg break against Blackburn.

I hope he does well for Sunderland and makes the loan deal permanent
