I know they say you could only do it once in a year but I have done it twice in the span of a year.
For those of you who don't normally read the gamer interviews read this one there is a quote about a third of the way down and I think most otters will laugh.

trixie360: What's the funniest thing you've ever heard on Xbox LIVE?

THE DON WAN: "I'm going to pee in your butt." I don't think you can put this in the Gamer Spotlight, but I laughed.

Micro Center has Turning Point: Fall of Liberty and Universe at War for $4.99 a piece.

Unless you find it in store, shipping is additional (about $7 if you order both).

He's suggesting you force a red ring to get a refurbished unit under the 3-year RROD warranty.

Normally I think parodies are lame, but that was really well put together.

Watch the trailer for Lost Planet 2 on the OXM disc and look fantastic. Never play the first one although the demo is also on the disc. This look to be much better than the first and looking forward for any news about this game. The squad fighting the giant lava lizard look cool at the end.

For most of this month, one of the top 10 ranked Community Games on Major Nelson's list hasn't been a game at all, the TV Calibration app is a 200 point ($2.50) tool loaded with plenty of test patterns to make sure your video setup is configured perfectly. There's also a free trial, so we loaded it up and can say it does exactly what it says it does. Most games have at least some PQ optimization helpers, but it's unlikely you'll be able to get this detailed information about pixel mapping and test color patterns with a Gears of War disc, and hey, you gotta make sure those Netflix streams look their best. Other calibration tools may have a few more tests and work on more than one device, but for the price it seems to be a good value. Check out the gallery to see a few of the patterns included, or download it from the marketplace and give it a try.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest

I'll try it out and I doubt that one does it, but I wish there was an app that let me set a bounding box for the Xbox. I love that a lot of PS3 games do that, but alas the 360 comes up empty on that front.

I have an older HD set (DVI, pre-HDMI) that has gotten out of whack over the years. The top inch or so is cut off and I've never found a way to fix it. At least the PS3 gives me a work around.

If for some reason it does have that feature, could you post back about it? I have the same issue.
