History
Initially the 360 Splurge focused on Xbox 360 games quickly expanding to multiple formats to accommodate most gamers and members. In 2009 it was streamlined back to just featuring Xbox 360 games so avoid confusion.
There isn't really a reason for the site being called 'Splurge' other than that it being random and unique.

Main Site

As you visit the main Portal page to 360 Splurge you will find an easy to follow navigation bar which will take you to where you want to go. There is also a frequenty updates Release Date list showing what is coming out in the following month.

Features

360 Splurge has different areas for various topics of interests.
Backwards Compatibility and VGA Compatibility lists are 360 Splurge's unique features. Not unique in that no-one else has them. Unique in that we personally hand test well over 120+ original Xbox games and report on anything we find, this is unlike most other sites that copy the list from Xbox.com's Backward Compatibility list and take it as truth that its accurate. The most recent feature is the NXE Game Install Size database which tells you how much HDD space is needed should you choose to install a game.

Reviews and Rating System

Since the 360 Splurge launched we have written game reviews for recently released titles. 360 Splurge may consider a Retrospective Review section for older games that may deserve mentioning. Reviews are no longer given marks out of 10 like other sites, this is due to finding out that most readers ski the review just to see the score, we would like to encourage people to read the review to get a better understanding of our opinions. When writing our reviews we cover at least the following:
  • Graphics
  • Sound
  • Re-playability

Forums

The forums for 360 Splurge has undergone a few changed since the site launched in June 2007, initially it was designed for members to organise game nights on the Xbox 360, failing that those sections were removed and recently replaced with a Game With... section for Staff members to designate a game, day/night and time of an event, it would then be up the members to check when game nights are happening and be there.

Game Nights (Game With...)

New to the 360 Splurge is a section on their forums for Game Nights. As the site focuses mainly on the Xbox 360 platform, this section is designed for the staff of 360 Splurge to plan out a Game Night. They will announce the Day, Time, and Game and members will have to check to see what is planned and turn up. There is no obligations and members will not be looked down upon in they don't turn up. 360 Splurge is not a Clan.

Staff Profiles

Coming soon will be a new page, 'Meet The Splurgers'. This will be a profile page where the 360 Splurge staff members will introduce themselves so members can see who is behind the name.
