Yeah I've been wondering aobut this game. I would love to buy games like this with Mechs and I remember Virtual On but how's the gameplay? Is it hard to aim because some of those games have crap controls.

Probably not going to cause much uproar, but it's the principle that I'm worried about. I'm worried that a game I do care about playing online will be abandoned.
So, when we play games via Live, I thought we were using MS's servers (and thus the cost). Is that not true with EA games?

Wow that's pretty lame that EA would turn off servers like that.
I wonder what MS thinks of that? Could make one wary of buying
an EA game in future if trying to decide between that and something else...
I don't know that it's safe to assume they would only do it with sports games unless they explicitly state that..

On sports games... Well, I still play NFL 2k5.

Good luck, I know how annoying that problem is.
BTW, my situaiton was AT&T/Yahoo DSL -> D-Link Router -- this is a known compatability problem.

I could see other people's cameras and that was part of the problem. Another was the fact that people could join and exit at any time - often stalling the whole game while the Kameo deck is downloaded to each new person who hops in looking for a chick, I assumed.

Heads up on the Circuit City deal, especially for those that missed out.
I went in tonight to see if they got anymore and of course not. I went to the CS desk and asked if I could get a rain check since they haven't had them all week. They just ordered them for me.
I paid on the spot and I'll get a call when they're in.

Do you remember where you found the fix?

You know, I've owned it for a while, never got into it, but suddenly I'm totally digging Fight Night Round 3. I created my own boxer and have been kicking some butt in the career mode.

Yeah, I just played that as one of my free trial games at Gamefly. Good stuff. I'm playing through NBA Street: Homecourt right now. Awesome game. I haven't played any in this series since the first. I love it.

Can you purchase the 360 power supply anywhere other than that Inet one? It seems to be the only one available, and from what I'm reading it's crap. I have two TV setups in my house and sometimes I move the 360 between them, but moving the power supply is a pain in the ass where it's located and would like to leave one at both locations.

I've been trying to access my save file from oblivion but it never loads saying that no save file exists. But when I go into my dasboard it shows that I do indeed have an oblivion save file! I wanna really play but wouldn't want to start all over again.

I picked up two 1600 cards today at CC. They were out of stock on the rack but after looking around, I found two in a large grey bin. When I tried to check out they wouldn't ring up correctly. I showed them the add and the manager had to change the price of one to .01.

I know I mentioned this before, but has ANYONE had the problem with the 360 disconnecting XBL every 10 minutes? I'm in absolute fits over this. It just started over the past few days.
