I get taxed in Indiana as well.

Through the marketplace? Are you sure? Because I'm 100% certain I'm charged in-store and NOT online.

Well, I don't know about that -- don't forget it's Darth Vader who has the removable faceplate.

FUCK My 360 is toast. Started freezing last night. Tried to play again and froze 4-5 times again in different spots. Tried a few different games, same results, tried some arcade games that I had d/l and same thing. Now, I the RROD. So am I screwed? Do I have to send it away or is there something I can to fix it? I bought my 360 in Jan 07 and I live in Canada, will M$ fix it?

I'm positive.

I can't see living in Canada being a problem when it comes to getting it fixed. Better ring em up and see. I just hope you have another console or hobby to keep you busy because the wait time can really suck.

I get charged tax on both MS points and Wii points. So I usually just tack cards on to my Amazon orders.

What 360 game would you recommend that's most like Ratchet & Clank?

Tough one. Kameo? You could consider it a cross between Ratchet & Zelda.

The 360 is pretty starved of 3D Platformers (Which is fine by me, as it's the single most repetative genre out there) but you'll be looking mostly to BC games like Psychonauts (Downloadable) and Conker's Live and Reloaded.

Kameo is a good game with some great moments that rise it well above the standard 3d platformer, so that'd be my pick. Plus it looks really, really nice in HD.

I think Lego Star Wars falls into this category. It's a really fun game.

Anyone try the new Ace Combat 6 yet?

My nephew just got it and it looks fairly fun at first glance. I want a good online co-op flying game, looks like this could be it.

Seconded.

It is much improved over the first round. Still a very tough game, but at least you can make out what you are shooting at. Purchased this as I have a group of friends from Law School that play regularly on co-op games (we're not as into head-to-head online). We did not like the original that much, due to the very sub-par graphics. But Ace Combat 2 fixes most of the problems we had. We've played maybe 2-3 hours so far.

I really need to crack open my copy of Kameo.

I was just thinking the same thing.

We should setup some co-op games.

Can you play co-op Kameo? I picked it up at Target for $7.48 probably a year ago.

I've been looking for someone to help me beat Gears of War and I would like to try co-op Halo 3

Does anyone know if they sell the plug in battery pack charger in black for the elite? All i have seen is the white one.

Yes they do.

I hope to have my 360 hooked up again and be looking for the same in a couple weeks.

Co-op gaming has always been my favorite, looking to play thru Gears of War and Halo 3.

Kameo has co-op, but at least one review says it is not very fun.

Yes you can. Just make sure you go to the Kameo marketplace area. There's some pay stuff and free stuff for Kameo.

My hours are funky but I'm also looking to co-op GOW on Insane and H3 on Legendary.

I played a level or two with a stranger some time back and it was as fun as the single player....if you consider Kameo fun. Anyway, we beat a boss but we didn't talk much if at all. I can see where not communicating even on Kameo co-op can bring things down..

There are co-op achievements. My memory is fuzzy, but I believe at launch co-op was only playable locally, and a D/L patch later added online play.

I loved Kameo. One of the few launch "window" titles I kept. I always wanted to go back and get some of the newer 0 point co-op achievements.

I got Kameo at launch for the system, started playing through it and hit some swimming area where the controls were just ass. Maybe I need to go back and pick it up again with all the love it's getting in this thread.
