Set up my Xbox 360 last night and have probably logged around 12 hours between Uno, GRAW, and Vegas. I can't remember the last time I gamed this much.

Since Konami and Ubisoft worked out license issues, I sure hope we see some other licensed beat-em-ups from the past. My wish list is: X-Men, Simpsons and Dungeons and Dragons.

I'm still waiting on either a repair or a replacement to be sent to me,but when I get it back, I'm looking forward to the TMNT Arcade game. Those games take me back. I would love X-Men or even and arcade-perfect Double Dragon to make an appearance too.

Just making sure you all know....

Halo 3 Legendary price increased to $129. Circuit City still has it at $99 and has a price guarantee.

My brother logged into 360Voice yesterday and had this funny message waiting for him...

aje1's Xbox - 3/17/2007

aje1 was absent yesterday... I was smelling something that reminded me of sweat... he better not be playing with a Nintendo Wii... burning calories while playing games is just wrong.

OK. how do u get back to the dashboard when you're in a game?
Hitting the "X" box ball on the controller gives me an option to shutdown the console. There is a way to get to the dashboard also. i've done this by accident but can't reproduce it. so how do u do it?

Just tap the "X-Box ball" instead of holding it down.

I went by CC tonight and the only cards they had for preorder had the standard($59) and the Limited Edition($69). These were on the same preorder card. Is there a seperate one for the legendary? If so, mine was out.

I see it is $99 on the website, but you have to pay in full versus only $10 down in store.

No. Gamestop will probably under-order too few copies, but they purposefully do that with every game to create the appearance of a shortage.. Any other store that sells video games (Best Buy, Circuit City, Wal-mart, etc) will have a ton of copies though.

I will probably throw 5$ down on the one in a presumably metal tin at EBGames in case they do a midnight release for pre-orders. Otherwise i hope Circuit City has some sort of enticement to buy it there. Something like the faceplate i got with Crackdown and the 10$ gift card i received with CoD3.

No, but you can save $30 on the Legendary set if you act fast.

Michael, I'm pretty sure that CC does not charge until they ship.

I Can't imagine any blockbuster game this day and age being hard to find.

That was probably intentional though.

Gears of War was difficult. I live near DC, and have at least 50 stores within 10 miles of me that sell videogames. And I could not find it for a few days.

That said, I think that the normal version of Halo3 will be super easy to find on release day.

Yeah. Nintendo did not want to keep supporting their old "dead" console. They wanted everyone to buy the Wii version. I bet Nintendo secretly regrets ever making that promise long ago that Twilight Princess would come out on the Cube. The fact they made such a promise is the only reason that the Cube version was not flat out canceled.

I don't think so. Then they would have to put more time into development on the graphics end. This way they have that safety net by saying it is a Gamecube game with Wii controls.

Thanks for the heads up ... I placed my order from CC as well.

I had pre-ordered via Best Buy (and got a MS point card for $5), but BB kept trying to pre-auth my card over and over and over again. When one pre-auth expired, they'd hit it again. Then that would expire and they'd place another preauth. After about 5 times, they stopped pre-authing for the game and proceeded to charge me the remainder of the price for the point card ($15). I gave up fighting it, because it was no use trying to explain this to someone who sounded like they were in India.

i was going to get the legendary at 100, but switched it to the normal edition to free up 20 bucks for a previous purchased (crackdown)

EB used to charge 25 for the legendary preorder. I realized i really don't care for the game that much anyway, so i might as well get the regular edition

I rented Tiger Woods 07 today....is the online on it horrible or was it just the time of day? My friend own the game and we tried playing, and it just lagged horribly.

Thus, I shut it down. We did a voice chat, and it was clear....so not sure what happened in TW07.

Well my replacement 360 just bit the dust while I was playing 2k7. Now whenever I play a game I get 20mins in then I get freezing. Well the replacement lasted 2 months, now I have to call tomorrow to get myself a coffin. This would have had to happen the week that Castlevania was coming to XBL.
