Rumour has it that Best Buy is stock piling all there shipments because the 360 will be in next weeks ad and that each store will get at least 20 premium systems so if you really want one then just camp out at your local best buy on the 17th and make sure that your within 20 people of the line and you should be guranted a system.

BTW NPs with mine and I absoulte love it. I think I'm going to finish Kong up tonight or tomorrow then start on PDZ.

Hey taku how come you don't have an achievment score on Live?

Well all 360 game support widescreen and my TV is a widescreen that I have the 360 hooked up to but every time I try to change the style it says it's not available so I don't know if that's normal or what.

About Sports games:
Honestly, I don't buy team sports games because I find that things get tiring quick, especially in Madden. I don't understand how a game like that can sell if it's not that good to begin with.

Then there's a matter of taste - A LOT and I do mean A LOT, of people like Football, and they'll buy a new game regardless of the crap in contains. For example, I bought Blitz: The League because it sounds like an interesting game and it bears no resemblance to actual football teams. It has an actuall story to it and the gameplay mechanics, although brutal and unrealistic, really make the game worth playing.

HOWEVER, when I bought the game, some guys asked me questions about why I'm buying "that crap" instead of Madden. They said if I like football, I should buy Madden. Well, I don't really like it and I hate straight-by-the-book sports games because they get boring QUICK. even the rep asked me like five times if I wanted it and I said YES. I even asked him if he'd heard that it was bad. He said "No, I just thought you wanted a football game, not an action game."

Goes to show you - EA has done a good job at wrangling weak individuals to buy their series despite it's shortcomings.

Now, ON TOPIC:

I finally got an XBOX 360 with Call Of Duty and DOA4.......and freakin' thing doesn't work. I tried everything and nothing - It's freakin' dead. I called customer service and the lady there said that I'd have to send the unit back AT MY OWN DISCRETION and wait for a backup unit to arrive in 6-8 weeks, IF they can include me in the current list of return customers....Whatever.

I'm just not gonna spend more money to fix a system if I spent a bundle on it already. Still, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that if Microsoft keeps its' end of the bargain, I'll probably have their updated premium package with any drivers the current editions might be missing...I just won't be playing it this year....

I received a "non-commercial" copy of the game....Let's just leave it at that.

I got it from Best Buy along with COD2.....The manager said that they didn't have any left and that a new shipment would probably come in before the new year.....Thats' when I decided to call Microsoft Customer Service to see if they could offer me a deal or something.....and that's what I got.

One good thing though, is that the manager told me that if the shipments didn't come in, I'd get a refund on the system and a $250 gift card for my troubles....
