Anyway, my plan is centered around Madden 06 and NBA Live 06, so hopefully those two will be eligible. Kind of annoying that MS still hasn't updated the page yet.

The achievements are pretty easy to get in Madden 2007 too. Just start a franchise, select every team and sim the season, sim the super bowl and sim the pro bowl. Then go back to the main screen and select play now. When it gives you the option to save pick no and start another franchise season the same way. This will get you all the season, game records, and game level achievement points.

My original plan was to use some of the 2K6 games, but none of the rental places around here had them.

Yep. Thanks. Good timing actually. I won't be able to game until about that time anyway.

Then the All-Star & Superstar wins took me quite a few tries.
So, it should go live between 3-5 PM Pacific, which is 6-8 PM Eastern. Hopefully it'll be closer to 3 than 5, since Monday night is a big TV night in my house. I guess we could always Tivo the shows or just sim some games while the shows are on.

Paperboy? When Castlevania, Worms, alien hominid, Catan, and Castle Crashers are waiting in the wings? 
Hopefully this shit will end since Canessa quit.
Conveniently the Midway collections aren't backwards compatible. Fortunately for me, I own them on the Gamecube/Wii at the low cost of $0.83 a piece.

Me? I was referring to L&O's comment about the Halo 3 beta.
I can't get squat on this contest site.

I was able to register at the site, but I can't actually sign up for the individual challenge. Ah well.

According to someone on CAG, the fusion frenzy prize has already been removed. 
What a fucking joke. I still can't even sign up. Geez.
