Ok ok, I'm falling for it... Ok ok I FELL for it!

I'm seriously considering picking up a premium (pro) system from makro tomorrow.

The only reason I'm getting it from them is that they seem to be the only local supplier that is giving away 2 games with the thing.

CNA's has no games, and it's the same price as the makro unit.
BT Games is 150 bucks cheaper, but again, no games.
My local Game has no stock, but they don't have any games with it either.

I'm gonna get an extra wireless controller, and maybe one (or two) of those play while you charge thingies.

Note - I'm only gonna be connecting it to my normal SDEF tv - which only has composite inputs (no svideo or component, not even scart, ugh).

My tv is right around the corner from my network switch, so I'll just run an extra cat5 cable for networking.

I don't really remember what the games were that came with the makro unit - I think the one was PGR, don't remember what the other one was.

I'm thinking about getting a copy of crackdown, GOW, mebbe viva pinata... any other recommendations?

Any recommended extras? Should I get the media remote?

[sss]

the other game is probably prey

[TG]

Ahh yeah, that was it.

YAY! Go TG.
If you are looking to accesorise then the remote is a good choice, then it becomes like one of them media thingies.

No one can certainly accuse you of doing thing half meassures.

And just thought of it. You might want to get a wireless keyboard. Helps for the messaging, etc.

[TG]

Right. I'm busy unpacking it.

I got:

Viva Pinata (for the kids yanno)
Dead or Alive 4
GOW
Crackdown
Table Tennis

Viva Pinata (for the kids yanno)

Riiiight...we believe you

And this for dad,huh?

Dead or Alive 4

[TG]

My 6 year old son absolutely kicks my ass solid in table tennis. I don't understand it.

Considering I ran through the training and what not so I know all the smart moves... I gave him the second controller, showed him the stick and the buttons / right stick to play.. and he then proceeded to wipe me into the floor. And not close games either, we're talking 11/1, 11/2 etc. Very very sad.

Then I loaded up dead or alive 4. The first time both of us had seen the game. I figured out how to play a versus game, and he proceeded to stomp me into the ground the first 2 rounds. Eish.

Nice tg, good choice in games as well.

Only prob you gonna have is which to finish first

Did you get the media remote or any charge kits?

Welcome to the club TG!! Hope you enjoy the stay

You enjoying Crackdown?? I lent it from a friend and damn it is addictive!!

[TG]

Yep, got the media remote, and the quick charger along with 2 battery packs.
I'm currently running on the supplied batteries. As soon as those are kaput I'll switch over to the regarchables.
