I'm trying to decide if I should get a couple of Play and Charge kits or some rechargable batteries. I have four controllers, so I figure 2 play and charge kits and 2 more Xbox 360 Wireless Controller batteries should suffice, but maybe a bunch of rechargable AA batteries would be more cost effective?

Just use regular batteries. No need to deal with all the recharging stuff. You can get, like, a 24 pack of AA batteries for something ridiculously cheap at a place like Sam's Club. That's what I did with my Wavebirds on my GC, and that worked fine.

I was thinking the same thing about the play and charge kits...

Right now I have two controllers both with the rechargable batterys, and one play and charge kit...

So when I get the other two controllers I'll buy one play and charge kit and one battery...

I think thats the best way to do it...

OOOolllaaalalala

360 is hidden shiftyninja.gif

TV is fricckin huge...

Parents dont know I blew my college fund money on the 360 lol

Since my mom got a new job...we are officially in the top 15% of highest earning families (aka rich)

W00t.

uhh that tv doesn't look that big, it's bigger than mine but nothing compared to most of these...

and thanks for letting us know about your MOMs personal finances...

Im just excited for us :) Not too much to worry regarding college etc. And this thing is huge, as in depth. I was expecting it to be much skinnier. Emphasis on the much.

yeah mines like that, about 21inches from front to back, but then again, mines an early 32inch flat CRT

*drools*

Nice setup, I've got a 34 inch SOny CRT widescreen. It looks great but my couch just broke and I had to throw it away, so now i am playing on the floor until Crate and Barrel sends a new one in a month.

thats a really nice setup...well done

Bits are...

Sony HS10 HD PJ ( A Sanyo Z4 on paper would murder my pj and costs about ?1150 - 9ft screen anyone?;)) )

DSPA1 amp.

B&W Speakers all round.

Sweet. Gotta love samsung.

How bright is the unit?

And is that 26 inch? or 30? I cant tell from the pic...maybe its a 34 heh

Not a gamecube fan?

it's actually a 30 inch and the picture quality is quite superb....very bright as well. i actually am a gamecube fan...but i recently removed it to make room for the x360...hehe.

Guy with the samsung and 5500 setup, I have a question for you.

Do you have digital sound through all your consoles? I'm with a similiar setup and as the z-5500's only have 1 optical connection, i'm kind of screwed. I've been thinking a cheap reciever will do the trick, what do you think?

yea i guess you can get a receiver...i personally don't have the space to fit one in my setup. all i simply do is switch the optical cable to whichever console i play...they're all close together and easily accessible, so it's not a problem for me.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.
