The wireless PC adaptor

The Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows (release date: fall, price TBD) enables players who use both consoles and PCs to attach wireless accessories to their PC. Using a simple USB port, players can plug this tool into their PC permitting other wireless controllers and accessories to be used with their PC.

If that were true in my my case...I'D BE DOING THAT NOW. But I'm not, soooo what's your point? Frankly, the demos I've played for most of these Marketplace only games have sucked to me. None of them impressed me enough to buy them. Belive me, if any of them did anything for me I'd buy them.

Did I? I thought I was focusing on prices and the nickel and dime tactics. Oh well, since we're on the subject, I would rather have a disc. When my XBOX died I lost some paid for downloads and I had to pay to download them again when I got my 360. That sucked...

That is a good idea and the Germans make some incredible board games. That being said i commute for my grad classes combined with doing some of them online with the school so it isn't like i'm chilling at a student union.

who's making those new style headsets anymore info on them?

It's a Microsoft product:

Holy Crap, I just picked up a Royal Flush on the river! Made 100,000 on it as well.

Had a King, Queen of diamonds in my hand, picked up the Jack, Ace on the flop and the 10 on the river. The guy that had 3 Aces shit a brick, cursed at me, and left the room in the huff.

And the rich get richer....

Congrats man.. That's unreal friggin 3 days into the game..

Can you repeat that in English? You young folk and your slang these days!

Just kidding! AWESOME play! I was leading this morning amongst my friends with most money earned...I bet it has changed now!

Awesome play!? Either he checked down to the river with an overly stupid person slow-playing a set of aces with flush and straight draws on the board or he made a few questionable calls

Congratulations on your draws holding up, Flay!

But this is exactly what I was talking about yesterday why it doesn't take skill to get a Royal, just luck

Continuing the "nickel and dime" debate:
Noticed last night that some new downloads for the upcoming Samurai Warriors 2 were available. They're actually new bodyguards/characters that you have to pay for.

Can't wait for the first fighting game to try something like this...

So did he have pocket rockets or did he pick up another ace on 4th street? Was he betting hard or were you doing the betting? So basically my questions are:

1. His Pocket Cards
2. The Flop was J Diamonds and A diamonds what was the third card?
3. Fourth Street?
4. How did the betting go?

1. He had Ace of spades, 9 of spades
2. Third Card in the flop was a 7 of spades, I think.
3. Turn was the Ace of Hearts.
4. I can't remember exact numbers on the betting, but he played it cool after that Ace popped up on the turn. He didn't go all in until the 10 of diamonds came up on the river. As for me, I was just calling everyone else until the last round of betting.

It's guys like you who make the game not fun

Just kidding! Great hand. Well on your way to the all hands achievement now

Yah, but I still need a four of a kind and a straight flush. Probably take a while.

Any word if there will be any kind of mute button for this? I really like this, but I think this will connect directly to the 360 w/o any adapter and only have the power volume buttons on the headset. I have to be able to mute my headset.

I found the official Microsoft page for it (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x...relessheadset/) which says: "Conveniently located Power On/Off, Volume, and Mute Controls are right where you need them." So looks like you're in luck. Also, the MSRP is $60. Kinda steep, but I may pick one up because of my loathing for wires.

I dont think its safe to keep such a high frequency signal so close to your temple. What if you get ear cancer?

Next-Gen Bulls***? 22 Thumbs
Since almost everyone has Madden NFL 07 on the brain this week (and not one review I've read so far has mentioned it), I feel obligated to talk about the 360 version's downloadable content.

Hidden in loading screens is the fact that this year's game will soon offer alternate uniforms and historic stadiums via Xbox Live. Sounds good, right? Wrong--we've been getting stuff like this in Madden since the PS1 days. Why can't the retail version include it, especially when we're paying 10 extra bucks?

But here's the bigger question: Will extra uniforms and stadiums cost Xbox Live spacebucks? "We are excited to offer new EA SPORTS downloadable content this year in Madden NFL 07 for certain items," says an EA spokesperson. "We have not announced the details of this program at this time, but will have information for you in the coming weeks." Hmm, sounds like someone's dodging the question.

But let's say EA decides to charge for the content. That's absolutely ridiculous. For starters, as I mentioned before, alternate uniforms and stadiums have become a standard feature in Maddens. And, more importantly, such content doesn't alter/improve the gameplay experience. Paying for a multiplayer map does just that, but what EA's offering is basically a color palette swap.

Now, I know football fans want to have the most accurate game possible and would love to have all this stuff for their game (I know I want to have my beloved Cleveland Browns' third jersey), but if you start buying this extra content, then you're telling EA and other publishers that you're willing to pay extra for stuff that should be in the game to begin with. And you become part of the problem.

... and so it begins...

Woohoo Just got my 4 of a Kind hand! Only 2 more to get (Royal and Straight Flushes)

A friend of mine is REALLY miffed! He lost his 2000 in single player mode and says he can never play again. Is this true? There has to be a way to get more credits. To make it worse, he paid 800 MS points after I reminded him HOURLY to get it while it was free.

So after you lose your 2000 are you done in single player mode?

You have to play at the free table to build your bankroll back up. You are giving money to play with and you get whatever you add to that amount added to your roll when you leave the table.

Ah! That is available in single player mode? Thanks for the info!

or play in the Regional Tournament (single player)...it is free and pays out the top 4 finishers ($1000 for 1st)

I thought that way would be better because I thought you could keep your earnings plus the 1,000 for finishing first. I was bummed when I finally won and only received the 1,000 prize.
