Where do you change these settings? The System blade? I'm pretty sure I looked all over.

You get to the settings by pressing the silver x in the middle of the controller, the 'user blade' pops up on the left and its down a few--cant remember what its called--player settings? Personal settings? then go to headset/mic and you can select 'through speakers' or 'headset and speakers' etc...

Have you guys been noticing a lot of Game Updates lately? I swear, some games I'm playing like Lost Planet, Star Trek Legacy and others have had updates more than once in the last few days. Yet I can't find anything aobut these updates. I've played them a lot in the last few weeks so it's not like I'm getting old missed updates.

Didn't Blue Dragon come out some time ago? Why do they have a demo up in Japan just now?

Just wanted to add that I finally got TVersity working, and have no idea how I did so, since I tried every possible combination before with no luck. I tried so many things, I can't remember what the last setup was that I used, the one that actually worked. Now I am like Joey and Chandler on Friends when they got the free porn channel, and were afraid to turn it off. I don't want to reboot my computer, or reset the 360, since I am afraid that I will never be able to stream video again.

At work so I can't see what other games you have/play. Do you have Frogger? Gyruss? Been wanting to unlock the co-op achievements on those, but can't ever find games.
Yeah I got frogger but I am the suck at it.

I got like 33 arcade games so I'm sure I got something

I never got it, or the media streaming, to work for some reason. Dunno. Weird since the Xbox can see the PC. I don't have the time to screw with it. For that matter, my PC is down with a bad PSU anyway. (Damn you, Antec!).

Frogger seems abnormally hard for some reason.

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but for some reason Frogger seemed easier to me when I switched the graphics from enhanced to classical. I seem to remember that other people here mentioned the same thing when it was first released on XBLA.

Is there a site that keeps track of the most popular games being played on L!ve (similar to how Gamespy keeps track of online PC games)? I will finally be picking up a 360 this week and would like to pick up couple of games. GOW will be one, but I was thinking about picking up another (be it a 360 or Xbox title) that has a strong online community.

Check out Major Nelson's blog. He normally does a list, i believe, of the weekly top titles.

I usually eschew the enhanced graphics versions to keep with nostalgia, but I will give it a shot.

I'm not sure if you read my post incorrectly, but what I meant was it was easier when I used classic graphics, not enhanced.

Or maybe I'm reading your post incorrectly

Very nice trailer. I'm looking forward to this game.

What is the song in the trailer though? I kind of liked it.
