Anyone notice that the default date was set as Nov 15/01 ? I guess for all those launch guys who got it, saves them some time so they could play Halo

Halo's pretty good. I just went through 3 sets of identical rooms which were pretty irritating, but you really can't beat sticking plasma grenades to Elites.

My XBOX was waiting at home for me when I got there today. Popped Buffy in as soon as I could hook it up and had a great time.
I played all my other games that I ordered and even burned a CD so I can listen to Pink during Sega GT. I'm very pleased so far.
I told myself I wouldn't get Halo since the 2 XBOX owners I know said they'd let me borrow it but here it is almost 2 am and I'm seriously thinking of going to Wal-Mart to get it.
One question:
I could of sworn that when the XBOX was first released that each system was given a "hidden" name. Am I nuts or is this true? And if it is true how do you find it?

In Halo when you set up a multiplayer game, it shows a name above your Xbox. But since you've played games where you might enter your name in for a top score (or time) it may have put that there.
Mine was "Dasher" -- when I then played DoA 3 I put "Matt" as my initials. Then I played Halo and the Xbox's 'name' was Matt.

Be careful in DOA3 though because you can permanently change your box's name. And I'm 99% sure that's a one time deal. More details here http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthr...x+name+hambone

I did that with my N64. Or get a Wavebird...er wait...And for warranties, I've had 2 friends who had to return their X-Boxes because they completely locked up on them and wouldn't do anything. Odd. No problems here yet.

I've had mine for 3 1/2 weeks now. I love this machine. Halo is going on top of my "need this for Christmas list". That is if I can wait that long. Also my wife has a thing agianst M rated games. But I assure you there will be no compromise on my part for Halo.

. Back on topic I am LOVING JSRF. Im glad I bought the system but as I stated in an earlier thread owning al 3 systems is going to be tough for deciding which games to get and why.

I own a Gamecube and Xbox, but will get a PS2 if the price drops, or if they do a bundle similar to Xbox. I would have NEVER even thought of getting a Xbox if it wasnt for the bundle.
I own an Xbox, Tony Hawk 2x and Sega Gt/Jet radio. I love Tony, I can stand Sega GT, and I have yet to try Jet Radio.
I have been playing Blinx and Whacked! at work, and will most likley be picking up Whacked when it becomes used...
