There are some posts in the HD forum that there were 3 Looney Toon cartoons available in HD for a free download. They list the Bugs Bunny "Opera" title but it is showing that it costs for me. Any idea what the other 2 are or were? Was this a limited time thing and did anyone catch it?

I looked for a list of free 360 downloads and found this but I am not sure when it was updated last and it doesn't include any Looney Toon info: http://www.xbox360rally.com/complete...ive-downloads/

I thought Condemned was a masterpice (or a hidden gem.) I loved pretty much everything about it. It's one of my favourite 360 games.

Otherwise, a wireless bridge (even the Xbox's one) works fine, but requires more wires, a plug, etc.

I used "adapter" because "Bridge" didn't come to mind. I was aware that one could still do this without buying teh 360 part but I'm not up on the lingo.

Didn't one of our reviewers here give it bad review? I can't remember. Either way, I had written it off but I saw a guy playing it on a store display and it looked totally fun. Those Imps or Demons are hilarious. I'm waiting for a price drop either new or used.

I have seen it on clearance at my local Best Buys for $19.99 new. Great price. Prey is also $19.99 at Best Buy and is pretty good.

Ok, for shits and gilles I tried setting up media sharing with WMP 11 and the 360. S far I got the PC connected, but that was only after turning off Zone Alarm and turning on Windows Firewall which has the proper port settings ready to go. At that point all the Network tests Passed and I could see files from the PC.

But when I switched back to ZA and turned off Windows FW, all the tests Passed except Streaming. But even with that, I can still see Music, Video, and Pics on my computer. What does this mean? I can can still play/view the files but why is the Streaming test Failing?

See the following website for how to flash the firmware and get it connected to your existing wireless router. Your existing wireless router type shouldn't matter.

It's definitely not the easiest way, but much cheaper and ultimately better, since you can hook up 4 devices to the bridge.

Anyone check out the new Buccaneer table for Pinball FX. It's pretty cool, the music is really quite good and the game is a bit more fun than the other tables. I'd rank it up there with Agents. And the best part it's FREE!

Yeah, we talked about it in the XBLA thread.

Yeah, it is now the best table on Pinball FX. I would give Agents a close second. Definitely worth buying for you hold-outs waiting for more tables. There was also talk of even more table coming soon.

I've really got back into Crackdown this week. Finally beat it, then I respawned the gangs so I can go for the full star meters on everything.

I guess you haven't started Half-life 2 yet. Alyx is pretty hot... for a bunch of polygons that is.

I haven't. I have about 5000 points thanks to the CC sale, but I'm trying to decide if I want to spend it on that or just wait for GH3/Rock Band DLC.

I got it when it first came out and thought it was pretty good. The Harpoon gun is great! Also, the racing thing that it unlocks is pretty decent as well, even if its not a full-fledged driving game. It's also nice if you're going through co-op with someone, as only one person has to have the DLC in order for both of you to do everything.

Not yet, I will hopefully get to start that (or Portal) this weekend.

One of the packs is free, you should at least check that out.

Oh, I have the free one, I DLed that when it came out. It improved a lot of things, I've also been doing the car collecting. My only complaint there is that there isn't a GTA-style car name when you get in it, and a lot of them look the same.

Get 2 free live games with a new Xbox Live Account.

It makes it look like any games in one section (using code # XBX0808) but then in another area it stated the games are Frogger and Robotron 2084 (using code # XBX1133).

Either way, free games for newbies.
