z-5500

I currently use the x-540 and to me they sound great for the 360. Would it be worth upgrading to the Z series? Any big difference between these 2 speakers?z-5500
Sorry to sound dumb, but are both of these5.1 systems?z-5500
i think this is in the wrong forum board. you'll probably get a better answer in the hardware board.
the z-5500 is so expensive partly cuz it sounds so amazingly awesome but also it works as a standalone receiver for 5.1 you plug your optical cable directly into it, bypassing the need for a fancy expensive receiver.



i was looking into it with the same dilemma. i have the same speaker system that you do. it's a great system. got it for $40. i could either sell it and pay $250 for the z-5500 or buy a receiver.. both were expensive.



I ended up buying a Creative Extigy external soundcard off ebay for $40. The amazing thing about this sound card is that it works as a standalone receiver with optical input and output into the Front/Back/Center-Sub jacks. And the sound quality will be on par with most expensive receivers



look into it. my xbox is hooked up to my 540 speakers now with the extigy and it sounds amazing!
i have the Z-5500 and they are the best surround system i have owned, i have it hooked to my 360 throu an optical cord and you hear things in music you wouldnt even hear with headphones.

Thanks for the info, I'll definitely look into it. Could end up saving me $200+.

Forgot to ask, what exactly do you have? I'm not to familiar with these receiver stuff since this would be my first time owning one lol.

great single player games

I've had a 360 for a while now and most of the games I own are multiplayer focused, like Halo or Modern Warfare but I have been looking for a game with a really good single player mode and story. I've played Dead Space and Bioshock and enjoyed both and was wondering if you guys could recommend any others. I don't really care for RPGs though so something like Fallout or Fable 2, both of which I did try to play would be out. Thanks.

Assasins ending (spoilers)

I didn't understand the ending for assasins creed, I thougt it was left open for the sequal but now I find out that there is goin to be a new hero instead of altahir. So am I missing something? Cause I remember the game ending when I went into the room and den all these writings came up and done. i'm lost , so can someone fill me up I already sold that game so I don't want to play it again for a different ending. So yeah someone want to tell me what exactly happens?

Good Hack and Slash Game for the 360

I'm looking for a fun hack and slash rpg for the 360 console that i can play offline with friends. Sorta lookin gfor a D%26D type game with classes and such, I've tried Too Human Demo and all the reviews for it seemed 'meh' so idk about it. Anyone know of any good games?Good Hack and Slash Game for the 360
Well they dont really have classes, but Devil May Cry 4 and Ninja Gaiden 2 are both excellent!Good Hack and Slash Game for the 360
i'll take those into mind thanks! btw those aren't anything like oblivion are they? because honestly i tried really really hard to like oblivion but i just haaated the combat so i could never really enjoy how huge the game was.
Well if you want pure hack and slash than a dynasty warrior game or N3, but i think you are really looking for Too Human. The reviewers may have said meh, but that doesn't mean it WILL be meh for you (it could still, but maybe not). The game has classes like you want and it total hack and slash.Also only Dynasty warrios can be played offline with friends. N3 has no multiplayer and Too Human has online only mp. But playing a Dynasty warrior now is like playing the same game as Dynasty Warrior 1. No real classes (different weapons do have different attacks), not a real story (or a good one), and technology wise it really hasn't advanced for a long time. I mean N3 could have over a hundred (way over) guys on screen at once, but Dynasty Warriors is still stuck at the like 30 guy limit...
IMO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (The Arcade) and Ninja Gaiden 2 are the best hack n' slash games on the 360.Hey I could have lied and said Oneechanbara. lol.
Games I have that come to mind: Dynasty Warriors (any), Fable 2, Infinite Undiscovery, Ninety-Nine Knights and Overlord. These are the closest things that come to mind, as far as hack-and-slash. Drakengard for the ps2 was a great game also, imo.
does too human upgrade different spells/skills and such as you progress? I think i might rent it out and try it the only other game ive been thinking of is kingdom under fire and that got blasted too, guess il rent both b4 i buy em
Wait for May 1st an pick up wolverine. gonna be bloody and great
Ninja Gaiden 2 and Ninety Nine Nights

They are excellent, but they are both singleplayer only.
too human ;)
Marvel Ultimate Alliance might be what you're looking for. It's all hacknslash, limited character development, and great for offline coop. No classes and single player is pretty lame tho
Warriors Orochi
ninja gaiden2 devil may cray4 N3
the only ones i can think of that you can play with freidns are Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Castle Crashers in the arcade... I would go with Castle Crashers if I had to choose one of those...
I love the Dynasty Warriors series and Samurai Warriors. You should have a look at any of them.
wait till D3 comes out and get that for the PC ;)
what about viking: battle for asgard? i never really played it or heard that much about it. anyone know what it was like?
I really enjoyed Too Human and got a lot of hours of fun out of it. It isn't perfect, but deserved a better score than the reviews gave it. When it came out it was the ''cool thing'' to bash Too Human, hence a load of meh reviews. The best advice is to try the demo and base your decision whether to buy on the demo. Anyway the game has fallen rapidly in price, and can easily be found for under 10 pounds in the UK.

Why isn't my Lost and Damned starting?

I got a new 360 today, transfered all of my licenses... at first it started fine... but just now I deleted all of my save games so I could start over, and now it just starts the normal game instead of my Lost and Damned... any ideas?

Outrun Online Arcade is OUT!

Outrun Online Arcade is out! Its only 800 points ($10) and is not overpriced like a lot of recent XBLA titles. Try out the trial demo, I never played the original before, or the one on Xbox, but the trial really sold me. Thoughts?Outrun Online Arcade is OUT!
I don't have a chance to play the demo now. But, I saw a video of it and it looks pretty good. Reminds me of the old arcade racers I used to play back in the 90's.Outrun Online Arcade is OUT!
Honestly, I didn't like it in the least. I was totally disappointed with the driving mechanics :(
