You better hope theres some games coming out after God of War 3.

I'm happy with the games so far , resistance 2 , fallout 3 , etc . Of course compared to the 360 it has much less games for now

The problem you have with Fallout 3 is there is no DLC planned for the PS3 only for the PC and X-BOX. Although I am not happy that I AM BEING FORCED TO USE x - box live (whatever that is ) to update and download expansions on to my PC. If I wanted an x-box instead of a PC I WOULD BUY ONE so why do I have to use x-box live to get DLC.

It's just exclusives, mate. MS pay Bethesda money to make X-Box and Live a more lucrative prospect for gaming on. They are doing the same for GTA 4. I'd be very surprised if the expansion doesn't come out on disc for PC.

Whats your squad like ? , close down adebayor . He's a monster in the air . Play with 1 upfront and play on the counter , suggest using a target man who's fast . Arsenal are the easiest for me to beat outta the big 4

I use 4-4-2, I have ngog as a target man, but usually use Torres as one, tell them to play at feet.

I know Im cheating and all, I've played Arsenal 5 times till now and I still can't beat them in the CL final  :angry:   :D

You can get them (points cards) from various online/offline outlets. GAME/XBOX.com/Gamestation etc (ebay) and the like

If you already are registered on Live and have access to a credit card, this can be done via their website. Other than that, its easy to pick one up at GAME for example. I get mine off ebay , 2100 points are around £18 ish - download via email and enter the code into the 360's interface.

How are you accessing F3? Do you have a 360?

Infact, you've reminded me about this. There is a patch released that prepares for the DLC Anchorage. Here are the details of it: All platforms.


New Features
Trophy support. (Playstation 3)

Fixed occasional crashes during loading and waiting.
Friendly or neutral NPC health bars, when taking damage, no longer flicker repeatedly.
Fixed issue where certain NPCs would occasionally disappear from the game.
Fixed issue where dead NPCs would occasionally come back to life.
Fixed rendering issue with the Gatling Laser gun's tracers.
Fixed issue where the haircut menu would occasionally not appear properly.
Added ability to remap your VATS and pip boy buttons.
Fixed rare load/save issues that would cause NPCs to behave incorrectly.
Fixed issue where quest objectives would occasionally not update properly due to talking activators, intercoms and conversations.
Using Radaway from the Pip-Boy's Status Menu repeatedly no longer crashes the game.
Player no longer gets stuck in level up menu if their skills are maxed out.
Fixed issue where multiple followers would occasionally not load into an interior.
Fixed rare issue with getting stuck in VATS mode.
Fixed rare crash with fighting NPCs with corrupted data.
In game radios will now play properly if player was listening to the radio in the Pip-Boy first. (Playstation 3)
Fixed rare crashes while loading and saving games.
Fixed rare issue where player would fall through the floor while in VATS.
Fixed occasional crash after scoring a critical hit in the head with a Railway Rifle.
Prevent NPCs from inadvertently dying from falling.
Fixed occasional issue where the controller would stop working properly.
Fixed crashes related to repeatedly equipping and dropping clothing and armor into the world.

Quest Fixes

Fixed several instances where quest item stayed in inventory permanently after completing quests.
Fixed an issue where the distress message would occasionally not play in Trouble on the Homefront.
In The Waters of Life quest, the Citadel gate will open properly if the player fast travels away after exiting the Taft Tunnels but before reaching the Citadel gate with Doctor Li.
For the Big Trouble in Big Town quest, the broken protectrons in Big Town become active at the proper time.
In The American Dream quest, fixed specific issue which prevented the player from accessing their belongings in the locker by the door if they left the room first.
Fixed infinite caps exploit in Strictly Business quest.
Fixed rare instance where Dad would have no valid dialogue during The Waters of Life quest.
Prevent issue during the Finding the Garden of Eden quest where player would fade to black, instead of traveling to Raven Rock, while in combat with a follower.
Fixed several XP speech exploits with certain NPCs.
Fixed XP exploit with a robot in Fort Bannister.
Fixed issue where player's controls can become locked permanently during The American Dream.



Fix for the patch for those who downloaded via STEAM:

1) Open Steam
2) right click "Fallout 3"
3) click "Properties"
4) click "Set launch options..."
5) Type in '-dx9' (without the ')
6) Start up Fallout 3*

No mate, I have the PC game, but I can access Live with it . Live must be installed with the game. I just didn't know what the points were and how much they would cost. So it would cost just over £6 I suppose, (if you can buy 800points? )or a bit more if you have to buy more than you need.

Microsoft would NEVER resort to those tactics.........  :oh:

btw just checked GAMESTATION in Leigh and they have them 2100pts for £17.50 in store. GAME is the same price.

Online you can buy lower denominations via Live etc. If you have a WINDOWS live ID (which you surely do....) AND a credit card then they can be purchased in 500/1000 etc increments through their services.

Thanks anyway  :)
