    HI guy's.

    Something over on the PS forum caught my attention. Is it true that you cannot lay the Xbox down flat, even if this is the position it will always be in?

    What? God no! The console can be placed either horizontally or vertically, depending on preference.

    If there is a chance it could get knocked over then go with the former. I've had mine in both positions over the years and have never had an issue with either.

    you cant lie it down when its turned on. As in you have it on its side and its reading the disk dont move it to put it down flat. Switch it off and then put it down flat.

    So i just put a deposit on the new X box. I've been thinking about getting the system for a while now, well since Mass Effect and Splinter cell didn't come out for PS3.

    I'm just wondering what else i will need to get me up and running HDMI cables etc. I've heard that you need to buy quite a few peripherals for the system, is this true?

    And of course a few recomended games please, no multiplatform titles as i probably have it on my PS anyway.

    I am on the same boat as you apart from the fact that I have a 360 and have never really played but I am really keen on playing it now with the wi-fi :)

    Ahhhh I'm torn between Mass effect 2 and Splinter cell as my free game on Friday. I'm thinking ME2 for longevity and replayability, but damn i do love a good SC game.

    Assuming you've played Mass Effect then ME2 is a no-brainer. Actually, if you haven't then pick ME1 up while you're in there, it should be dirt cheap.

    Yeah id definitely go for Mass Effect 2, I couldnt put it down when I bought it on release date. As a previous poster said you should play ME 1 first though if you havent already played it.

    Mass Effect 2 is the best game I've played this year.

    Splinter Cell Conviction isn't. :P

    Thehut has Splinter Cell for just over €20 today. Alan Wake too, both worth picking up for that price.
