Probably.

There's a level of interconnectivity with a windows PC so you can probably move movies about etc etc.

Well i know you can play songs from a MP3 player or PSP so i thought maybe i could use an external hard drive to watch saved DVDs from?

You can play music and view photographs from an external USB hard drive/mp3 player or digi camera. Not sure about backed up DVD movies though - doubt it.

If you have a PC running windows media edition you can connect to the xbox and watch movie files from your PC and with some additional software watch various movie file formats so you could probably do it that way.

Only Hitman and Ghost Recon have impressed me so far on the 360 but apart from them I just ended up buying loads of games, playing them once and never bothering again.. Saw this the other day when looking round and it looks pretty sweet, always enjoyed State of Emergency so hopefully it will be everything State of Emergency should've been had it not looked so rushed.

Probably worth reading IGN's review of it, states the flaws of the title pretty clearly.

Speaking of which, I rented Prey for free today. Woop a di doo

I'm sold already on Dead Rising. Was going to pick it up today in town but £48.99 de-sold it. Amazon are doing it for £39.99 and I'm tempted again, but might wait a while until I can grab it for £29.99 as I'm so cheap.

Only real problem I've had with the game is the survivor AI can be a little dumb at times, but then again when you see the size of the crowds of zombies you're guiding them through, it's not really suprising they get a little eaten at times. As long as you have plenty of pointy objects on you, and make sure to give them all their own weapons, it shouldn't be too muchb of a problem. Though guiding large amounts of survivors at night can be a little hairy, you think they're all with you then you realise that some dumb blonde is actually about 50 aisles back getting gang raped by a load of undead pusbags. Best to keep the large escort missions confined to the day time I've found.

The save system while annoying at the start, really isn't as bad as people have made out. You get used to it and it's soon no problem at all. The time schedule while rushing you about at times, really creates a sense of tension as you run back and forth attempting to save as many people as possible. Also if you ever get fed up with the tight time schedule, you can just completly ignore it and go off on a killathon and fail the main story, but still finish the game with a bad ending.

Personally I'd say it's one of the best and most original games on the 360, I loved every minute of it and intend on playing through multiple more times even though I've completed it 3 times already.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
