Amazon just started this specialty store last week that accomplishes this very thing: http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Live/b/re...pf_rd_i=468642

By the way, Microsoft is extending their warranty on the E74 errors.

So, any chance we'll get a new demo of something sometime? It's pretty weak seeing Metallica up there for nearly a month.

Is anything major coming out? It's only 7 weeks until E3 :)

Has anyone heard about Dante's Inferno?

http://www.infernofans.net/

Some people are calling it "God of War meets Dead Space", since it's from the same studio that did Dead Space, and the game play looks similar to GoW. I'm a big fan of Dead Space so I'm getting interested about this game.

Spoiler:

Also, it makes me wonder about tonight. ;)

The Pilot for Amy Poehler's new show, "Parks and Recreation" is up on LIVE for FREE. Both in HD and Standard.

I was going to watch it on Hulu but I figured I can dl the HD version and watch on my TV.

Bah! No NDA but I had the "honor" to try an early build of Dead to Rights: Retribution. Has anyone played the old games?
We basically told them, we won't pay $60 for this. It's average, and nothing spectacular. Maybe when it's $30 or less.

Does anybody know if Costco is still running the XBL special? I thought they had a 13 month subscription for $40 or something a month or so ago.

Why not $38.99 shipped from Newegg?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16874103030

I know it only says 12 months, but there's plenty of comments stating it's 13.

I'll know for sure either today or tomorrow when my order arrives. :)

I'm not picky, I'll take it anywhere I can get it, thanks.

But I also kind of remember it might have been $30 at Costco, but it was a little while ago.

Yeah, pretty sure it was $29.99 at Costco.

Every week some different retailer was having the $30 sale. I think Microsoft was cycling through them, testing the market. I'm hoping they look into a permanent price drop.

Obviously the $30 Costco deal is better than Newegg, but you said $40 at first!! :p

has anyone had any experience prolonging the apparent 3 month warranty MS assigns to the refurbished units it returns following RROD? i am due to receive a different machine (different serial number). my original extended warranty was to run through 10/09, however, they are only giving me through 7/09 on the refurb unit.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 
The general warranty will only run you the three months after the site redesign it is difficult to find the rrod warranty sometimes but I think if you submit a claim you would be fine.

So what are some exclusives coming out this year? I ask because PS3 is my main system, but I do have a 360 for exclusives, and the great XBLA games. I just beat Halo Wars, and now looking ahead. All I've really seen so far is Velvet Assassin, and ODST.

^ I still haven't even played the first one. Got it for $10 at Gamestop about a year ago.

It's pretty cool!

With Raiden coming out at $20 in two weeks, I hope the other 360 shmups get pushed here for cheap.

ESPECIALLY Death Smiles. So much Death Smiles. :(

Same here. Played it for an hour and dumped it on CAG. Since I was low man in the trade I had to ship first and out of all the shit I sell & ship, that one magically got "lost." I hope the dick I sent it to enjoyed it.

Good thing it was only $10.
