I believe my 360 was a similar production date as yours and up until it RROD, I had never had 1 issue with it.
I'm curious to see if I get mine back (doubtful with the turnaround), a refurb or a new unit. I'd either like to get mine back or a new one with an HDMI output, but we'll see what happens.

Xbox customer service via phone was actually very helpful, and was able to provide me UPS tracking numbers on the coffin, as well as the outgoing shipment of my Xbox back to me.

Not once have I ever cared about the Artist of the Month thing Live offers until now...
Dream Theater is the December Artist of the Month!
Awesome. Now, if only a track or two would show up in GHIII or RB.

I was considering Psychonauts, but if the whole thing is handled like the live arcade then I might have to think twice about it. I'd hate not to be able to play a game because I somehow got disconnected from Live or decided not to keep Live.

Cool. I don't like DL games like this beause I want a physical disc. Either way hope this forces Gamestop and others to price their used XBOX games around $9 max.

Anyone who has not played Psychonauts should make it a point to get this game. I still stand solid behind my rating of Collectors Series and I will be spending the points to play it again. http://www.videogametalk.com/review.php?ID=146

That's like me refusing to believe that Duke Nukem Forever is vaporware.

Rumors have persisted about BG&E 2 for years. I won't believe it until I hear an actual official word saying the game is in development.
After all, there were also a lot of rumors that Kid Icarus would be "re-imagined" on the Wii. Nothing yet...

So much lost potential...
Every programmer on here should apply for a job at Nintendo, just so we can persuade from the inside
