Wow!!!

From MajorNelson:

Beginning today and running through October 5th, when you purchase an Xbox 360 Elite for $299, we’ll kick back fifty-bucks your way in the form of a rebate. Cash money. This is for US purchases only, and you should visit Xbox.com/eliterebate (when it is live later today) for details and rebate requirements. Read the official press release here.

Why are they doing this from today and not from the price drop date?

Because everyone who waited for the price drop got theirs. This is to get the remaining fence sitters prior to the Wii drop.

Ahhh. I forgot the Wii was dropping this week. Makes sense now.

Combined with the 15% dell coupon, that is $205 for an elite

(15% off Coupon: 6FWJ247J1P44CK)

My 20GB HD is really starting to get crowded ... perhaps it is time for an elite.

Hmmm... an Elite for $205 or a 120GB hard drive for $135? :lol:

:grunt: Shut up, you.

Think of it as a 360 for the other room for $70. I'm not sure it's worth $70 for me to be able to play in a second room, but it's worth something.

Think of it as a $70 back-up for when one of your systems fail and is in for repair.

Put the old 20 GB hard drive with one of the consoles and put it on Craigslist, and cut your upgrade cost drastically.

According to Major Nelson it was in preparation for the Facebook, Last.FM, and Twitter integration.

Plan to fix this problem:
1: Return your console
2: Buy a new one

Get a stopwatch. Select your Game Library from the dashboard and time how long until all your games pop up -- the amount of time it takes to get the full listing from that loading screen. It seems to take a long time for me and I'm curious how long it takes the rest of you. I'll time mine when I get home.

Thanks to those who participate! :up:

Okay, I think I've got it now. Get out a stopwatch or comparable phone app. Start an Arcade game or demo. Exit the game. Start timing from the first time you see the Recent Games tab with the loading 360 image on it until the time you actually see games listed there (from that point your list of Arcade games is instantanious). I tried that four times. All were between 25-30 seconds to pull up that list. Way too long for my taste.

Brutal Legend Demo, 2GB

Forza 3 Demo, 1GB

For you pinball fans, it appears that Pinball FX has added a new table with little fanfare like usual. I discovered it by accident.

It's called Earth Defense and is 240 points. I didn't have a whole lot of time to play with it last night but it is a really cool table with lots of ramps, and interesting theme and funny some good "50's aliens invading Earth movie" humor.

Highly recommended!

If you read the XBLA thread, you would have found it on Monday along with every one else. Now GTFO!

Goodness, you're a cranky one lately. And who says I'm complaining. I'm absolutely thrilled that it takes a full 30 seconds to see the game content on my hard drive. I think it's AWESOME! I find that loading image of the 360 with the circles coming out stangely fascinating and mesmerizing; it's truly hypnotic. Far superior to the PS3 XMB, where you just instantly see all your downloadable content, select a game and then just go play it. Where's the suspense in that? If anything, I wish that loading screen would last longer -- I mean I know I'll have time to go take a piss while my console searches for my XBLA games, but what if I need to take a dump instead?

It used to take about 30 seconds for my entire games library to pop up on the dashboard. But since I've upgraded to the 120gig hard drive, it doesn't take much more than 5 seconds.
