I was able to play WMV video, but take a look at "Dolphins": http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...tshowcase.aspx
It played in the wrong aspect ratio for me.

The wireless headset is supposed to come out today, right? Has anyone seen it anywhere? My regular headset is pretty messed up, and I'm sure its going to die on me any day now.

This week’s Xbox Live Arcade Wednesday release brings the award-winning Kameo franchise to everyone’s favorite card game, UNO. This new, custom “UNO Kameo Theme Deck” brings larger-than-life, morph-into-monster action to living rooms around the world.
To add to the UNO gameplay experience, included in the deck is a brand new card that allows gamers to trade their hand with any other player. Jealous of your opponent’s three remaining cards while your hand grows to double-digits? Swap hands and take the best position in the game!
Best of all, only the host needs to have downloaded the Kameo-themed UNO deck in order for all players in the game to experience the unique twist and visuals. It's your choice: be among the first to bring this new style of gameplay to the table, or wait for a friend to share it with you!
The UNO “Kameo Theme Deck” is based on the hit Xbox 360 game from renowned game developer Rare. "Kameo: Elements of Power" grants players the ability to morph into unique and incredible warriors allowing the main character Kameo to search out and battle ever-present evil.

I posted this in the other GOW thread but will post here as well:
After the latest dashboard update, I burned the Gametrailers.com HD multiplayer videos to disk and watched them on my 360. (cant stream them as I dont have a network).
Wow.
This being the first actual look at how the game will look and play like on my TV, I must say this is the most incredible looking game I've seen.
It was torture watching the videos with my controller in hand and not being able to control the action on screen.
I highly recommend that everyone with any interest in GOW to download the trailers from gametrailers.com and watch them on your TV to truly see what the game will be like.

However, I hate it when I join a game with a deck I don't own, or someone else joins in a game in progress, and it takes forever, because they have to download the deck before they can get in. That really kills the whole "quick match" setup.

Looks like I won't be staying up tonight for the early morning arcade download like I have for many many weeks now. Kameo was a great game but I'm not sure if a deck based on a game that was released almost a year ago is worthy of being the Wednesday Arcade download.

Ok, I think I'm buying my 360 tomorrow. I have two xboxes, and will trade in one of them at EB and get $80 towards the 360.
I've erased the xbox live account settings from the hard drive, but I guess it is ok to leave my saves there. EB will erase them maybe.... I think I'll just trade in the bare minumum (my worst controller, worst cables, and the xbox) and keep all my accessories/games for my other xbox, since I' sure EB gives pennies or $2 tops for almost everything I have.
I'll buy the warranty thru Microsoft.
Just say no to the intercooler, but maybe I'll get a little fan and aim it towards my 360 when I play for extended periods.
Any trade-in or other tips?

No, staring at 12 unopened new 360 games did the trick (thanks to the EB/FYE combo move).Speaking of Kameo, I had it in part of my used spree, but ended up trading it in. Maybe I'll get it the next time EB has the B2G1F deal.
And I love Uno, so you all will see me there quite a bit.

Well, to anyone that didn't make a foreign Xbox Live account, the Rainbow 6 demo is up on the marketplace in the US now.
And I'm sure most of you don't care, but there's also a free Perfect Dark Zero Map Pack 2 up as well. The description states "two new multiplayer maps based on classic Perfect Dark maps: Facility and Ruin." I don't remember too much about the original Perfect Dark, but I'm guessing that Facility stage is very similar to the one from Goldeneye.

Could be a temporary thing, but the Kameo deck was shown as already downloaded when I checked out the Marketplace this morning. The deck wasn't part of the selection when I started up UNO so I tried downloading it again, got the deck and wasn't charged for it. Some other people have been experiencing the same thing.

It also showed up as previously downloaded for me this morning. Maybe they will give it away to people with a Kameo save game - that would be kind of cool.
I did snag it so i will be up for some Kameo themed Uno soon!

Kameo deck's not even showing up as available content here yet, and it's 8:00AM (3 hours after the update went live). It really ticks me off how there's this "staggered" release of content and updates. Does anyone know why this is?

I thought it was if your name starts with "Shagrat" then you get it later than anyone else. After everyone else gets theirs it starts going alphabetically through the "Shagrat"s beginning with Shagrata, Shagratb, etc. You will be soon among the Shagrats!

Or better yet get working on the next game PD: Redemption
And Trevor I definitely recommend picking up Kameo, that game is awesome, and you can find it dirt cheap now.
