I bet they'll give us all Carcassonne.

Anyone want to buy an Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive?

Why? Did they just make an announcement that HDdvd playback is going to be ingrained in the console now?

Probably because of the Warner-goes-BluRay-exclusive stuff...

so when's the BluRay attachment coming out?

Whoa, I had totally missed that. Big news, no doubt, but hardly a death knell for HD DVD. As long as Universal and Paramount are HD DVD exclusive, there will still be units for sale. I guess undewhelming sales of Harry Potter in HD caused WB to rethink the two-platform thing (they were the only major studio doing it that way anyway). Having both formats, I don't really have a horse in this race; still, I hope HD DVD survives...

Well, I guess now MS won't bother with making the next 360 SKU HDdvd playable out of the box.

Ditto.

I"m not touching either format until they are cheaper

Off the top of anyone's head, do you know how much Gamestop is giving for XBox360 Premium on a trade-in? (I'll be checking tomorrow, but I'm curious)

I think i read somewhere that it was $180 credit for a 360 with a 20 gb hard drive trade in. I could be wrong though. Try searching CAG for an answer.

Thanks for the info... will do.

$150 for the XBOX and an extra $15 for the Hard Drive. I checked yesterday..am thinking of trading in my extra xbox for another PS3

Wow... Minigolf #6?

Sure.

My wife bought me the chat pad yesterday for our anniversary and it sure is a slick little accessory. I'm pretty shocked she got me some 360 related because since my 360 came back from repair on the 26th we've had 2 minor tiffs and she had 1 crying spell over the amount time I was spending with my repaired system and Assassin's Creed. She should just be thankful I wasn't going to bothering collecting the flags or shit would of really hit the fan.

The news of another Blu-Ray backer makes me wish I would of kept my PS3 but that feeling will pass rather quickly.

Wow. She gets that upset that you are gaming?

My group of friends had our Christmas get together last night. We do a chinese gift exchange and I got the chatpad. It's nice. I like it.

I don't know if it's variation in my controller, but snapping on the chatpad is kind of a bitch. It takes some serious effort to get that thing on and connected on my elite controller.

Believe Bitches...Believe.

Proof that one man CAN make a difference.

I'm suprised Pac-Man CE didn't make that list considering all the rave it got on this board.

But it did come behind CoD3 (which was pretty much panned across the board) and Oblivion which is a single player game.

May all you Lost Planet haters get the RROD on your privates.

Hey, that's not fair, I can't get my nuts replaced. I also won't be able to have children without being connected to Live.

I really liked Lost Planets' single player, but multiplayer just didn't hook me. No pun intended.
