Xbox live gold membership is £40 for a year. Is it worth getting it with the live vision camera and headset for £50? www.edirectory.co.uk/pf/88888/mia/d/xbox+360+xbox+360+live+vision+pack+camera+12+months+xbox+live+gold+headset/pid/4638377

I don't have the hard disk and need that one day but am trying to go for a while without it! Is that wise? Can I get a hard disk as well as gold/headset for a further discount?

If you don't have the Hard Disk you'd better have a memory card, although I give it a couple of weeks and you'll definitely want the Hard Drive.

I'd say it's worth paying the tenner extra for the camera if you can afford to as it's over £30 on it's own and looks like it could be interesting in games, or simply to take a photo of your left testicle to use as a gamerpic for all your mates to see.

I had the exact same thought about buying the camera, as my membership is up for renewal soon. Is that offer only for new xbox live subscribers?

No, you get a voucher in the box and you can just use it to renew yours. I think it even starts it off the day your current one expires too, but you'll need to verify that before turning up at my door with a bat demanding your money back.

I think I'll do the right one actually. Always been my favourite. Or did you mean from the front on, in which case it would indeed be on the left.
Anyway, I do have a memory card obviously, and have gone 3 months without a hard disk so far. Still looking like £100 for the Hard Disk and a live subscription to me though. If I buy a used 360 hard disk is it useable in any xbox?

Hard Disks are interchangeable - when my 360 went tits-up a couple of weeks ago I took it back to the shop for a brand new replacement, but kept my old HD and gave the shop back the one from the new 360. All works fine, and I didn't lose my savegames for TDU and Oblivion (probably close to 200hrs on those games!).

Nice one Steve . I may aswell do this then as it's only an extra £10 and could be interesting.

Another member with testicle photograph fantasies?

It has to be done, I am considering the camera just for that purpose. The messages of horror I will get from my fellow gamers the first time they check my profile will be worth it.

I picked one of these camera doo-hickeys up at the w/e.

Quite good fun playing the totem ball game with the kids, and definitely worth getting if you have to renew your membership anyway.
I think the vid chat aspect of this is going to be a winner, but at the moment I'm the only person I know with the setup (need to persuade our Aussie rellies to get one)

in the meantime I will while away the hours taking pics of my ball-bags (for personal use only you understand)

Hi, does anyone know whether GT Legends will be released on the 360 - I'm desperate to play it but the PC will require major upgrading to play it!

Don't think it will be, GTR2 is being developed for it though.

Did you try the demo, just in case by some miracle it will play it.

Yeah I tried it, wouldn't work. Not enough memeory or graphical power. Wail, snarl, gnash.

Well you can console yourself (haha, what a pun) by adding Steve_Evil as a friend on xbox live so you can see photos of his gonad.

Not yet you can't, unless you fancy sending me the cam so I can take a photo, I won't stain it honest...

I can't wait to see your pods. When I get round to getting a 360 that is!
