From Amazon's site:

"Items sold by Amazon.com LLC, or its subsidiaries, and shipped to destinations in the states of Kansas, Kentucky, New York, North Dakota, or Washington are subject to tax."

Don't feel bad, us Californians feel the same with the rest of the e-tailers. Most of them are located here.

Any details on this? I'd like to grab one.

Actually Amazon collects sales tax in KS, KY, ND, NY and WA.

Check buy.com's ebay store. Buy it now with bing.com cashback is how I got the black controller with charger and red controller with charger.

Yeah, which is why Amazon gets almost all my online purchases now :)

Connected to XBL for the first time in over a year, was prompted to download new software for the "new XBox experience" or something like that, and ended up with a fried console (Error 74). I hardly ever use the damn thing!

At least Microsoft doesn't tell you to not play 1 Vs. 100 because of where you live. :(

Really? No 1 vs. 100 in Iowa? It's okay, one day Iowa will become a real state. I just know it!

Any word on the ODST controller? Does it have the improved D-pad or is it the same ol subpar one?

Well... (RE: Last.Fm in Xbox)

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/10/06/ha...tplace-on-xbo/
Last.fm
While we're not entirely clear who will sit around the Xbox to stream internet radio, we will admit that the Xbox implementation of Last.fm is very slick. Once again, the core functionality of the website is present in the Xbox app. However, the overall experience looks a lot nicer. While you listen to music, a photo slideshow of the band will take up the screen. It's not a particularly revolutionary feature, but it does make for a good visual complement to the otherwise stationary experience.

Like Facebook's photo galleries, the Last.fm experience is much faster on the Xbox than on a computer. Switching between different artist stations is fast. Clicking on a tag brings up a radio station specifically for that keyword almost instantly.

One obvious oversight of Last.fm currently is the inability to listen to music while playing games. Currently, Last.fm is a standalone application, with no way of launching it while in the middle of a game. A Microsoft representative did tell us they were aware of the demands to expand its functionality, so hopefully we'll see an update that addresses that. (They've got to leave something for next major Dashboard refresh ...)

:down:

I do stream music to it when I'm cleaning or just hanging out, so I'll still give it a chance, but I think my personal collection will probably win out.

I don't see myself using any of those new apps other than the Zune integration. I might use Last.FM when they fix the streaming while gaming issue.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 
I use Pandora and Slacker all the time on my iPod so I'm looking forward to giving Last.FM a try on the 360. And like they said, these standalone apps often function better than the websites themselves. I love Pandora on the Touch but hate using it through the web interface.

Wow that really sucks.
I suppose this means the Xbox music player won't scrobble either..
IMO this misses the whole point of adding Last.FM integration at all.

I would imagine it has to be 00, but I didn't code it ;)

If they were NCAA and only 80 points, I'd know by now.

320 is damned pricey for an Avatar jersey.

Also, have they released a single piece of free clothing since they opened the Avatar Marketplace? I don't think so. MS thinks we love our Avatars way more than we really do.

Does the jersey put your Gamertag on the back? For http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76...ints_12_12.png320 it should.

I am not buying any clothing for my avatar. They are nuts if they think I am.

I see the appeal of streaming to the box I don't really care because I use my touch on a dock when I'm playing games anyways so there are plenty of options with that.
