Is there a new "$5 off any video game accessory $19.99+" coupon for Best Buy around anywhere? I know Gamepro has been printing them the last couple months, but the last batch recently expired and I need to restock my MS points

It takes a bit of yoga to say "I HATE HATE HATE HOW BAD THEY BUILT IT I HATE EVERYTHING WITH THE LETTERS M AND S IN THEM" but to still embrace how its the best way to play games.

A few stupid questions: When do Amazon.com preorders ship in relation to street date? Can I infer from the lack of dicussion on Overlord that it has missed its June 26 street date? Has it been officially rescheduled?
In other words, if I preordered Overlord through Amazon.com, when should I expect it to ship?

Anybody else playing Overlord? I'm stuck at a point and could use some help.
Is this a bug? If so, it's a game killer, because I cannot proceed otherwise.

Sorry to hear that, but not totally shocked. After all, it is a Movie Video game and most of the time they simply suck. But I'll still give it a rental...

More bad press on the red rings.
UK repair service Micromart is refusing to service any more Xbox 360s due to a "base manufacturing problem that potentially affects all 360s" they tell Joystiq. Before they stopped repairing Xbox 360s, which they are not an authorized repair center for, they were getting in "around 30 a week." Customers who are looking for the quick service of Micromart are suggested to "contact Microsoft for a motherboard replacement" as it's the only guaranteed fix according to Micromart.
Jeff Croft of Micromart says, "We saw it over a period of several months and it was just getting worse. It began towards the end of last year. Once the twelve month warranty finished then we started to see more and more machines being sent in to be looked at ... The problem with three red lights was there fairly regularly, but over two or three months it became a real issue." Croft goes on to say that even after the repairs that Micromart had done they were not happy with the result. They believe it is a problem with the motherboard and weren't comfortable charging customers for labor on a product for a problem they believed wasn't going to go away. Croft sent a letter to Microsoft with their concerns, but says they've received no response.

In the meantime, if they fix it internally, and replace problematic systems as they come in, then they can come out of the closet and say they have a system in place and have been slowly replacing them for 6 months or so with new units, and come out looking somewhat rosy.
