My local Best Buy had a giant stack of Halo 3 360s for $349 ($50 off). There was a sign on them that said "This store only."

If anyone's in Jacksonville FL, check out the Avenues Best Buy for the deal.

Thanks. Alas, it still wouldn't recognize any file I threw at it.

I read about the free Halo thing on CAG ... I think there was a catch that you already (before Nov) had to have an active Xbox Live account.

Yes. Lots of trailers, game videos, and things of that nature. Occasionally, there will be a free episode of a TV show, but it's usually for pilots or shows that are not very popular (to try and built an audience). Also, there used to be a free music video every month. Don't know if that is still going on.

Can anyone with an HDTV post a screenshot of PQ when you are on the map. I want to see if my screen looks correct, almost looks like it is cut off but I am not sure

You needed to own an Xbox previously AND be an Xbox Live member.

"Austin Powers" was free for a short while a few months ago.

On a side note, I really hate the movie rentals on XBL. The TV Shows are handled great, but this "Watch it in 24 hour once it starts" non-sense is ridiculous.

Well, I just picked up the Arcade bundle with the Amazon deal (Free Katamari & Viva Pinata Party). Missed the bonus $25 discount though. A perfect bundle for me and my kids. Ordered a set of Component cables from Amazon Marketplace for $12.

at $3.33 a piece? No way. I've bought them all before, but I'm waiting this one out until they're free. I think they're getting a little cocky with their pricing.

I am with you. I thought about it and while I don't like the pricing of $10 for 3 maps, the use I will get out of these maps will more than pay for the 10 bucks. And these days I waste 10 bucks on crap all the time...why not waste it on something I will use a lot.

Looking forward to them.

$10 is cheap for the kind of fun these extra maps will provide. I understand some think they're overpriced, but to me, the $10 will be justified within a week if not sooner.

I had no plans on getting these maps until I told my friend about it. He's the reason I bought Halo 3 basically. We were roomates but he lives an hour away and is married so I don't see him outside of Halo too often. His first response was, "Of course I'm getting them!"

So I guess I will get them.

Lousy peer pressure.

The new match making system takes into account who has new maps. So technically you don't have to get them. They won't show up in the playlist when you are playing him.

Has anyone heard any information on how the TNA Wrestling game is going to control? I watched a gameplay demo of it on Gametrailers.com and it looks pretty awesome. However, I'm terrified that it is going to control like Smackdown vs Raw which would be terrible for me. I haven't had fun with a wrestling game since the N64 and I'm itching to find a control scheme that doesn't frustrate me to no end.
