Well, if it gets up and walks at least I've learned how to take it down with a shower head.

I love Zuma, it is the most relaxing game on any current gen console (I say game, since I don't consider flOw an actual game). Lots of fun, too.

sigh, i hate to repeat my problem... but i believe this is my 4th post in the official X360 thread.

my X360 died, it's sad isn't it?

first two posts was about vertical or horizontal positioning of the X360

the 3rd one was about my excitement joining the X360 family....

sigh, didn't even get to enjoy it very much and crapped out on me

I like Zuma as well, picked it up during the 1/2 off sale (which looks like it'll be perm. with the dash update). But the achievements are a bitch.

It happens, unfortunately. My first 360 crapped out just before the 90 day mark, then again about 6 months later. Its been about a year now, and its still going strong (knock on wood). Hopefully MS will get their shit together, it's a fantastic console, now it just needs to work.

Forgive me if I missed it, but does anyone have a "new" 360? I'm looking for opinions on them, especially the Elites w/ 120 HDD... I want to know what everyone thinks of them and what kind of problems are occurring with them. Thanks!

I hear ya. I got the RROD within an hour of opening the box. Replacement is still going strong a year later. (Knocks on wood.)

I have a new Pro 360. But I'm afraid opinions aren't going to do much. I had my launch unit for just a hair under two years without one problem ever, then it just went dead.

So far so good though, if that helps.

I have always tended to hate any form of grinding in video games, but how it is implemented in Crackdown is genius! I am addicted to finding these little green orbs!

I think I need help.

Dunno if anyone cares, but I just got my GamerScore to be 99,999 which I thought was kind of cool as opposed to just randomly going over 100k. I saved a few pics to always remember 2 years of hard work and wasted life I'm actually kind of proud that I earned every point, no cheating or game saves for me!

within an hour??? darn! i don't feel that bad now... now come to think of it, why can't they just sell the replacements in the first place? I'm still pissy... it's not like i got nothing to play, but it's like the White Castle movie, i'm craving for some BioShock or Gears of War...

Got the rings tonight. I had a ton of disc errors this past week so I knew it was coming. Went to play some Rock Band tonight and there is was staring me down. Luckily I have some Wii games I really should finish but it sucks that Assassin's Creed is finally shipping from GameFly.

I'm just really getting into Mass Effect so I hope the "new" girl holds out till at least I finish with that game. Also, I don't really know what the MS CS support is like in Japan. May find out sooner rather than later I suppose.

I always wonder what kind of life people with this high of scores have..

If you don't mind me asking.. What's a typical day like for you? Wakeup, go to work, come home, game until bedtime, rinse & repeat?

And I don't mean this to be sarcastic or mean in anyway.. I'm genuinely curious.

Yeah, I'm not exactly feeling it yet. It's actually HARDER to get to my XBLA games than before (go to Game blade, then My Games, then Arcade), not easier (I was hoping for an XBLA blade). Streaming music from the computer on the dashboard also requires an extra step now. Most free stuff doesn't seem to be showing up as such, either.

On the plus side, all of the Xbox Original games have a free theme and free gamerpics to DL. I've already switched to the Psychonaut theme.
