I hope this is not too far off topic.

Does anyone here use a projector for playing xbox? If so do they have any recommendations where to look and costs?

I'm currently looking at something like these http://www.optomausa.com/projectorapplication/Gaming

Thanks

If you have the room, a projector is the way to go!

I want to hang my screen off the wall but thats pretty much exactly what I want

A decent projector on a nice clean white wall can look pretty decent but its never going to beat a decent screen. Don't skimp on the projector though! A cheap one will look crap.

Ye its more for having friends over for casual multiplayer rather than serious gaming.

Ive been looking at a few blogs etc about it and it seems the best solution is to pick a price rage, > best projectors/brands in that rage > look for deals on 2 - 3 of them. otherwise there are way to many options to go with.

Personally I used to game on a projector myself, but after a while I found the large screen more of a hindrance than a help, too much moving of your head to look at objects at the extreme edges of the display. At the minute I'm using a 50" plasma, sitting about 9 feet back from the screen and Its still pushing it a bit IMO.

I can see the appeal for splitscreen multiplayer though. and the projector was awesome for movies.

To be honest I'd put the 120 extra to it and get an Xbox one.

If you were willing to pay 229 for a 360 , then why wouldnt you just get the xb1?

They were down to 329 not so long ago so your only talking about an extra 100euro

readyletsgo

I have a one, never use it.

I pretty much collect consoles at this stage. That blue one is nice, but serious lack of games with it. I know I can get a second hand slim for €135 without the box from CEX.

Anyone here have the blue 360s?

unless you're in a mad rush for it, i'd wait. its surely due a price drop soon, its well overpriced in comparison to the xb one now.

Go on adverts and buy one with a few games for 100 euros i would not be paying nearly 230 euros for a 10 year old games console at this stage.

Spend on the money on games for the xbox one as there is plenty of games for it now. The borderlands handsome collection, State of Decay, Titanfall and the better version of GTA5.

Have every console myself and the one the gets the must use is the xbox one. My PS4 and WII U never get turned on.

Yeah you're right! I'll hold off, pick up a cheap one instead. Just want it for the few exclusives tbh.

The xbone is nice an all but nothing really on it just yet appealing to me. My ps4 and WiiU get most of my time instead.

State of Decay is a great 1st party game and maybe completely different to anything you have played before as its a mix of so many different kinds of games its crazy.

Sunset Overdrive is a fantastic 1st party game from the makers of Ratchet & Clank is basically the same kind of jokes and gameplay of Ratchet & Clank taking to a new lv.

Forza Horizon 2 is one of the best racing games you can play and hands down looks fantastic and looks like what every game on the xbox one should look like.

Halo the master chief collection the 1st 4 halos and all the map packs on one disk what more could you won't ?. Yes the online was brokering at the start but its all working fine now so well worth picking up.

You could pick up all 4 games for about €100 euros if you look and you will have endless gameplay with the best 1st party games the xbox one has to offer and all games are completely different from one another if you don't like any of them maybe you should think about why you play video games as there some of the best reviewed and best games off the last few years.

Anyone seen any particularly good prices for GTAV on Xbox One? Preowned or not doesn't matter, just have a hankering to play it again.

This is for the ppl who would like to buy Witcher 3 digital version . Price atm on market is 63 euro , but if u create a new account and set region to Poland game in pre-order is 186zl (polish currency) even with the euro been weak recently the price will be around 46euro.

Those who have just got a new console should get EA Access for an instant library of games that include NHL 15, Madden 15, NBA 15, UFC, Need For Speed, Peggle 2, Plants Vs Zombies. Fifa 15 was added to it today. Crazy value collection for less than the price of one game.

Just picked up the Forza bundle today,how does that work?

Just download the EA Access App and sign up, it's €25 (?) for a year's subscription and you get access to all the above games as well as anything else that gets added

Basically you pay €25 euros for the year from the store on the xbox and you can download all them games to your xbox and play them for as long as you keep paying EA Access.
