Yeah, I went through the same. I think I still have some random videos from Modest Mouse and Bad Religion. I was surprised when they cost money later on.

I would just like to say that I am the first person to play and get 1000/1000 in the Hannah Montana Movie game that came out today! Suck it Gears of War and COD players....Hannah rules!

I'm having an issue after today's update. My profile no longer loads by default. I checked and both Auto Sign-Ins are set to on. Its a new console with the built in MU that I added a hard drive to. Here's where it gets really weird though, since I have the profile on the internal memory, for the heck of it I removed the hard drive. When I did that and started up, it loaded my profile right on start up. I put the hard drive back on, and it starts up with no profiles loading. I sign in on my profile and it still shows both checked to sign in. Anyone have any ideas?

Update:
Nevermind, after it doing that since 4 this afternoon it seems to be working again. The last time few times I had it on I made no changes to any settings and this last time it just started up with me signed in.

Right after the update it didn't auto-sign me in either. I didn't think to reboot to see if it was a one shot deal though.

You need help quick. Your gamerscore addiction has killed the brain cells that control good game selection.

Oh, ok. Thanks for clearing that up.

I think it's ridiculous everything they charge for on Xbox Live. Do they charge for movie trailers? I wouldn't be surprised...

Any suggestions for where the best deal would be on a bigger hard drive than my current 20gb?

Ebay w/Live.com cashback (currently at 14%, IIRC).

Just a quick search brings up a ton at the $99 mark w/free shipping. Sort by location, since there seems to be a rash of drives coming from Asian countries.

If you don't mind used, Gamestop has the 120gb for $99 (edge card knocks another 10% off)

Just make sure you get the transfer kit from Microsoft or someone else.

And then sell it on eBay for mad money.

I totally failed at my one attempt to sell it on eBay.


But i am about 99% sure that is because i'm clueless and suck at selling things online.

I still have mine and haven't tried to sell it yet. I don't sell on ebay either.

I just used my transfer cable (bought the RE5 Console instead of just upgrading to a 120GB drive). I figured being able to sell that into my final price of the RE5 console once I sell my old Xbox, etc. Figure it is worth $40 or so on eBay. Also the RE5 Theme code fetches atleast $25 it seems. Some folks are crazy.

Am I dreaming or is the red controller that came with my RE5 set lighter than my previous 2 white controllers? If so, I now have a valid excuse for a few of my COD matches last night

Here's the "Deal of the Week" info for Gold Members for this month.

Nothing too exciting. I would maybe pick up Penny Arcade, but I'm still hoping they do some kind of bundle pricing when all of them are out.

Thanks. Looks like nothing for me.

Penny Arcade was a pretty fun little rpg. I would easily recommend it at that price.

Will definitely get PA:Ep1 for 800. Awesome. Will nicely fill the gap left by not buying PQ:G

Figures. Apparently my deal searching abilities suck because I would always find out about 120gb deals a couple days after they ended. Anyway I just bit the bullet a few weeks ago and spent the regular price on the 120gb.

I guess i should sell me 20gb drive; but for some reason I want to hang on to my transfer cable.

For anyone that wants a cheap extra wired guitar for the 360. Gamestop is selling Guitar Hero Aerosmith for $9.99 this week and you get the wired GH guitar for free with it. There is also a coupon for an extra 10% off in Game Informer. I usually play these games on PS3, but couldn't pass on this for $9 last night.

9.99?!?! Wow, I might actually have to step foot into Gamestop for the first time in years
Thanks

well, my launch 360 finally bit the dust with a RROD today . i bought the extended warranty within the first year, which was extendend by MS for a year, so the warranty was good through 10/09. after a five minute phone call, a coffin is en route (you need to ask for it specifically).

Well, that took a long time to die. Are they really refusing to repair RRoD on launch consoles now without the extended warranty? You'd have a pretty good class-action case there since MS has admitted all launch and early units will fail eventually.
Hope your repair goes smooth. Mine didn't and I had to send it back for a second repair before it started working right. Make sure they send it back to a place you can sign for it -- that turned out to be a nightmare for me.

I found one for $62. I don't qualify for a free transfer cable as my unit is actually an Arcade model, but I do have a memory card. I've transferred all the user-related items to the card and will transfer the games one-by-one.

The seller is only 2 hours away, so hopefully I'll have it by Wednesday.
