That last hole on the golf trial is some messed up stuff. I applaud their creativity but after getting a +4 on it I was less than happy. I might let the wife try if and if she likes it I'll go ahead and buy it.

Did the minigolf seem to load extra slow for anyone else? Things like selecting a different golfer took a solid 5 seconds to switch. And it wasn't just that, everything seemed to be slow loading.
I played the demo, but need to play it again. I really, really wanted to like this game, but it just didn't work for me. Such a game would be a great addition to my game collection, but this just seemed to miss. I'll give it another shot though...

I played the demo and was underwhelmed. I told my 12 and 13 year old boys I'd get it if they thought they'd play it and both said "no thanks".

Glad they are still actually working on this. Good to see Mercenaries and Republic Commando on there. Still no Price of Persia sequels or Riddick, two of the best titles last gen.
Kinda odd seeing Cars, Tiger Woods 07, and COD3 on there. Seems like those were probably ready to go from the day they were released but held back to push 360 sales over the cheaper Xbox version.

This is probably a stupid question about BC, but here goes.
If the title isn't on the list can you simply not play it on the 360 or is the compatibility just "not guaranteed"? I still have 7 (out of 20) Xbox games that aren't compatible. Beyond G&E, PoP2&3 the most notable.

For those of you keeping track, I finally received my repaired 360 unit today. So from the time I called to the time I received the fixed unit, it was 16 days. They also sent me a free 1 month xbox live gold card. I noticed that the mfr date was different then my original unit. I assume they sent me a refurbished unit, as I had to re-enter my xbox live settings. At first I thought it was a little quieter, but now I think it's just been a while since I've played with the 360 and forgot how it sounds.

Michael, its really easy to tell which 360 drive you have
Samsung will be 2 circles when you eject the drive, with the tray looking somewhat normal (slight box pattern cut of the oval, if you will)
the hitachi drive has little half-circles cut out of the tray in like 4 or 5 places.
BenQ drives (the quiet ones) were produced AFTER november '06 and usually appear darker

I'm with you

Nice. I can't wait to play Panzer Dragoon again. It was one of the few XBOX games I kept when I sold it off. Now I just need Morrowind on that list and I'll be all set.
