I can see where she is coming from, but it is definitely a stretch.

Anyone have DigDug and having a hard time getting the Dig achievement where you have to clear the screen? This is given me a bitch of a time for some reason, even doing it on Level 1.

My buddy is big on this series so I downloaded the demo to try it out. The lobby is filled with assholes so I didn't even bother trying out the game. My friend is trying to figure out a way to get me and our other friend to play this with him but it is very unlikely we will be joining him online. I can't see paying a monthly fee for this game that is higher than the cost of Live if you paid for it monthly.

Speaking of keyboards, has anyone used one on their 360? Did you buy it for the 360 specifically?

Any USB keyboard works. I hook up one all the time to type out a quick message.

I just wanted to let you guys know that Best Buy has a bunch of pre-order bonuses going on right now:

Gears of War - free T-shirt
Call of Duty 3 - free map
FEAR - free DVD with behind the scenes stuff

I tried getting the GOW t-shirt, but it wouldn't ring up for some reason. I would be interested to see how cool the COD3 map is...

Hmmm a free map for COD3? Intriguing. I still don't see the point in pre-ordering games though. I sure that it will be available on the marketplace too, for a price however.

It probably will for CoD3, but why not? I have like $75 in BB gift cards. More reason for me to spend someone elses cash and not my own.

Been playing PSU for hours today. I LOVE it. I wasn't a big fan of PSO, so this is a strange feeling.

Anyway, it's addicting. I can see why they put it out for beta (aka trial!). Although, there are glitches that ruin the fun. It froze twice already.

Even so, it's fun.

It's amazing how many games I would of bought for the 360 if the prices weren't 60.00. The good thing is that most of those games I rented instead and really didn't care for. I just sent back Just Cause and while they did some great things with that game there were just as many things wrong with it. I came very close to buying it the other day and I am thankful I didn't. There hasn't been too much said about Just Cause here and I was curious if people really even tried it.

I'm STILL playing PSU. It's 3 in the morning. I hate how addictive this is.

I need some help. I bought the VGA cable and my hdtv only has DVI. I tried to find a gender changer but I found out that vga is analog and apparently cannot not be converted without an expensive switch. Any advice would be appreciated.

About the COD3 map...I'm not sure if it's a multplayer map, or if it's just a physical map of one of the missions or something.

Ok, I'm finally serious condering getting a 360 instead of a wii. A few questions, though:

How many games can be saved on the core system w/o the hard drive? Any? I play sports seasons so the memory will add up pretty quick.

And, any rumors about a price drop before Christmas?

I picked up Just Cause at Target last week when it was 50 bucks, and get a free 10 bucks gift card, so net of 40 bucks. Its been a really fun game, just waaaay to much to do. Ive already complete the main story missions and all the collections, have liberated about half of the provinces, got the 2nd to last Guerella ranking, and about 3 more to go with the Rijolas.

Its definitly a very time consuming game, having to liberate 3 setelments for each province. But when all the jets and helos become available, it makes it alot of fun and you can mix it up. Last night i used one of the jets to liberate a setlement... just make tons of rocket passes, then parachuted out to get the flag. unlocking the safe houses next to airports is key, cause you can just start there and have a fast jet to get to where your going. being able to spawn a gyrocopter is key to.

How come BB won't allow for store pickup on preordered games, such as CoD3. I want to pick it up in the store, not have it shipped to me a week after it is released.
