Anyone else download the I Am Legend theme? I realize it is free content but it's the same damn picture on every blade. That seems cheap, cheaper than free mind you, and lazy to me.

But you're right, the theme does suck. The Golden Compass one is a lot better.

Wow. MS is really stepping it up in the discount/free content lately. In the past couple of months we've had:
Pinball FX
- Free table
GHIII
- 3 free boss songs
- Free Halo theme
Boom Boom Rocket
- 5 free songs
Bioshock
- Free DLC, whatever it turns out to be
Then you have the arcade game sales and now XBLA Greatest Hits at half price.
Way to go MS. Keep it up.

Dont forget free pilot episodes of Heroes and Jericho (in HD) and a free south park episode

Yeah Mike, I too have been very impressed with the free stuff on marketplace. I love the idea of themes and gamer pics, and call me cheap but I just cannot bring myself to spend points on a theme or gamer pic. Something like that should be free, I know people still have to work on them, but come on they are just pics. Your going to laugh but I check the marketplace everyday for new free stuff....
Its kind of a pain in the butt going through all the different catagories and subcatagories but I will check the whole marketplace (especially the themes and gamerpic section) VERY carefully daily, and there have been ALOT of free themes and pics in the last year.

After a year of having my 360, and years of never having an issue with any console (including an original PlayStation), I got the red ring of death yesterday. I called MS and have a box on it's way but I can still play games on my 360. The red lights are flashing the whole time but it seems like the games are running fine - is that normal?

That's pretty much what I thought. The red lights should come along with a system failure, right?
I'm thinking of just continuing to play until the inevitable end and just send it in then...
