and I am thinking about renting one til I get mine back from Microsoft. What are your thoughts? I haven't found too good prices. I found 22.99 a week on one site. I'm in serious withdrawl without the thing, and it's only going to get worse once the semester is over.

Welcome to my world.

Happened to you too? You probably got the RROD though right? My shit is out of warranty by a month so they wanted me to pay 99 bucks but I heeb'd em down to 50. Still f'ing sucks though. I seriously thought I was going to be one of the 45% who have a non crap 360.

No, mine got stolen, but soon-to-be-replaced.

That sucks man. Stealing an Xbox is like breaking a bong...that's just something you don't do.

haha one of my friend's mom broke his bong when she found it back in the days. He was heart broken. And to think we were going to build an in-car bong.

So what good new releases should I get for the holidays other than COD4.

Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed would be my two votes.

I'm just waiting for Ninja Gaiden 2

Rockband if you are in to music+ddr type games like Guitar Hero.

OMFG I just choose the FC to start with Forza2 and damnit, I want another FC now!(it's gotta be turbo braaaaaaap pssh POP!) Hell, I want to own all 3 generations at once. I goto a community college, and I saw both FC and FD today. There were two chicks in a black S4 M/T. HOT!

I love driving clutch, just the feel of it.

PIIDB

haha. PIIDB FTW! I drive an R32 in Forza (when my 360 works).

Though I fixed up my RX-7, the Lanica is my favorite right now. It's quick and nimble.

And I wonder who those mysterious girls were in the FC.

My R32 has so many kraut mods, it ain't even funny.

beavis and butthead?

I leave my cars stock for the most part. If aftermarket, it's wheels, suspension or engine.

Eh I had to hook up my R32 so it can actually compete.

I sent it to McAllen Texas on Saturday. Anyone think I will have it back by Xmas?

My guess is no

:( One of my Xmas requests was Assasin's Creed.

I think my 360 is on it's way out, well atleast the component cable. Randomly, my TV will not detect the 360 when it is turned on. Usually one or two restarts will fix it. I may try switching to the standard RCA and see if it happens again.

Could be the GPU...sounds like what happened with mine.

Did it eventually RROD? If not, was it warrantied?

Mine never RROD. It was out of warranty by a month so they wanted 99 bucks but I talked them down to $49.50.

I have an Xbox 360 from launch. Still going strong 2 years later. Knock on wood...

Now I'm going to go play Texas Hold Em on XBL...

bastard!

Can you check if TMNT and The Simpsons are on XBL to d/l for arcade games? Thanx.

I got my 360 back yesterday (Xmas Eve). Hooray!

Do you have COD4?

Yeah I got COD4. I just got Assassin's Creed for Xmas. Meh.

are you saying that AC isn't any good?

So far it's kinda Meh. I'm still on the first assassination though.

I can't stop playing 2K8 though. I need to complete 82 games for the regular season lol

I still refuse to trade NHL 07 in for NHL 08 until I complete a whole season and get the achievment pts for that. lol

08 is better though. They got rid of a lot of those ridiculous glitches. I hate when someone would shoot the puck, hit the goalie square in the chest and then knuckle over top of his shoulder into the back of the net. It's especially bad when your friends are obnoxious assholes that don't let you live it down.

lol. You aren't talking about goalie deflections that trickle through are you?

yeah, but rather than trickle through, the puck seems to just flutter over his shoulder. The worst thing is, you can see it happening before it actually goes in, so you're just watching it, completely helpless. Gets to be a pain in the ass, especially if you are playing for haircuts.

Trade for a better goalie. ^ _ ^

no chance, not gonna get any better than kipper in 07

Ryan Miller FTW!

Ryan Miller is a fucking joke. His team is complete garbage, Lindy is a girl's name and Thomas Vanek was the worst signing in the last decade.

You're a Flames fan. Vanek is the man. Miller is also the man.

Let's review:

Thomas Vanek is currently the highest paid player in the league, raking in $10 million this season. Right now he's managed to rack up a wopping 11 goals and 11 assists in 35 games which puts him on pace for 26 goals and 52 points should he stay healthy. Consider this, Vanek is paid to score goals and put up points. Presently he is tied for 65th in the league for goals scored and 102nd for total points.

Vanek is most certianly not the man.

Also, with regards to Miller, I would argue that he is a man, though not much of one.

You neglect to mention how Vanek in his Rookie year scored how many goals? And last season didn't he score 46? How much cash was he making for these 2 years? Don't think he earned a little bit of change for the stellar performance these 2 years?

Rookie season: 25 goals, 48 points. Considering his rookie class included Crosby, Ovechkin and Phaneuf, that's hardly stellar.

Last season he played pretty well but an allstar centre and a run and gun offense can do that to a player. If you feel one good season warranents a $10 million salary, then I wish you were the Canucks GM, because they would be dead last in the league.

Sabres have been playing very well as of late.

yeah, they were really great last night

Prior to that, they won 6 straight. You would make a good politician Ark; you leave out all the important facts. :)

Hey Vert, did you watch the outdoor game yesterday?

Yeah. Sidney fucking Crosby. Afinogenov is starting to piss me off again; always trying to show off and shit.

Frankly, I don't think that Crosby is anywhere near as good as the media hypes him up to be. From what I saw, Buffalo dominated that game and probably should have won were it not for that damn gimmick of a shootout.

Still though, four losses in a row... Sabres are rolling :)

Eh, I would rather have them just squeak into the playoffs then be seeded at the top. We all know how winning the President's Trophy last year did for them.

True, but then again, I wouldn't want my team to face the Senators in the first round.

I wouldn't want my team to be the Senators and be in the Stanley Cup Finals to be the odds on favorite to pull it off, only to be defeated by the Anaheim friggin' Mighty Ducks.


ZING!

what do I care, I hate the goddamn senators... I was cheering for the ducks the whole way.

Yeah I was too. And I wasn't saying that Senators comment to piss you off. I know you're a Calgary fan. Just emphasizing on the point that they blew it. The Sabres need to have Campbell take more slap shots and have someone in front of the net to get the rebounds. They didn't have a lot of that going on yesterday.
