Real names are cool but for some reason I like when people on here or on xbl call me "Rap" lol.

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

Like me .

BTW if anyone is wondering what that update was for on Monday(the manditory system update). It improved the XBL server and a bunch of other things, so games like CoD2 should be less laggy on Live now.

I've played with a bunch of awesome people last time I had rented the game. It was cool because most of the people dropped so we had 2v2 team deathmatches and my teamate and I worked pretty well as a team.

Good news: My fixed 360 arrived this morning.
Bad news: I turned it on, and everything was in spanish and it had someone's profile on it because the repair guys never cleared the HDD.
Good news: I cleared it and reformatted the system.
Bad news: I'm unable to connect to Live to retrieve my profile.
Good news: THe guy on the help line was very helpful and took all my information to pass on to MS to fix this problem.
Bad news: The connection problem isn't fixed. On the Test Connection screen, it passes all of the tests but the XBOX LIVE test, where it fails.
Good news: The update MS put out on Monday now recovers data that was saved on that profile.
Bad news: My system was busted before the update.
Good news: I'll be getting another free trial of Live after my connection problems are settled.
Bad news: I'm still unable to play without my profile...

I'd much rather you call me Tuj, that what my friends in real life call me.

Good Luck figuring out how you pronounce that nickname .

When I bought up the possibility of a refund when my X360 was broke, the guy basically laughed and said is very hard getting a refund from Microsoft. But if you do try, i wish you the best of luck.

Thats just ridiculous....

gvamp I am now registered with gamerang so I'll let you know how it goes.

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

Cool I just got my other game in today, and they still haven't got the games I sent them two weeks ago almost three weeks ago.

I really think after this next month I'm going to cancel Gamefly and get Gamerang if you like them Rap.

It usually takes a day or two for your account to clear I'm sure it'll ship tomorrow Rap and your game should be there in a few days.

What plan did you go with?

I will not buy a PS3 for at least a year after it comes out for many reasons. One is every Sony system has been buggy, especially in its first year. Another is the price, that Sony is trying to sell off that Bluray crap (sorry, but BR lost any support I might've given it when they announced it would have region coding), and that I'm currently boycotting Sony brand products. My PS2 went to **** back in July (you can only play it when it is vertical, and it makes these buzzing sounds), my Sony DVD player died in Sept, my Sony CD player died in Oct, and the PSP just plain out sucks. Okay, the last reason is just my personal opinion. Oh, and because Sony is using a slot loader rather than an actualy tray.

If there are any games I'd like for the PS3 (like Devil May Cry 4), I'll just buy the games and put them away in storage until I am ready to get the system. And before anyone asks, I do not consider MGS4 a priority must get title just because there will be a Special Edition about a year and a half after 4 gets released.

As for Revolution, I want that asap just so I can get Super Metroid on it.
