Not to mention triangle-circle-X-square is much easier to say than A-B-X-Y. -ohbfrank- Just another reason I hate the DS design.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Nice. Congrats! They do have winners daily, so they must just announce winners from all the entries to date not just from that day or day before.

By the way, I hope you're keeping tally on all your wins. I'm still banking on that 10% once you've accumlated 40,000 points (or whatever we agreed on. I'll have to check with my lawyer.)

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Yup, So far I'm at 800.

And I;' waiting for that popcorntreect dude or whatever the F his name is to give me his winnings as he promised for me having to deal with 1598 users. But he's been silent, so I bet he's winning a lot.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I won 400 points from the Ford thing as well :dance: Nothing from the others I text daily though.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Does the 4GB 360 version come with a controller? Bestbuy.com's listing says it doesn't, but Amazon says it does.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Yes it does. Even the launch Tard 360 came with a controller.

You can see the controller on the side of the box.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

This is the message I got on the Dell Website, could they be sold out already?

Our apologies...

The product you have selected is not currently available for online purchase in the segment you have selected.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I'm getting that message too. :(

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Yes, I understand that, but the discussion was about controller design and buttons. Curious that MS would make a change, and yet their reasoning doesn't seem to follow Sony's (not that I'm saying it should).

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

For Time-Warner subscribers out there, the new agreement with Disney includes espn3.com which means access to ESPN on the Xbox when it launches. Not sure when access will be turned on.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Excellent! I've been hoping this was coming down at some point.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

bastards need to turn it on NOW
dont they realize college football season has started..

ESPN3 on the xbox NOW dammit!

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

wait
i just read that you can stream espn3 through playon and that playon works on the iphone?
does that mean i can stream espn3 through playon to my xbox and ipad already?

anyone playon users using it to stream espn3??

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Wow, I just won 400 points from Ford. Thanks, TL.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Speaking of Playon, for the people who've upgraded, do you think it's worth it? As a previous purchaser, I've got the option to upgrade for $5 for the year; just don't know if I want yet another recurring bill.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Yeah, PlayOn works fine (Hulu) in my Xbox 360 and PS3. I haven't tried in my iPhone or iPad since I think that's for Premium users and I haven't upgraded yet.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Just won 400 points from JCP.

Thanks TL!

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

upgrade, test, report back
kthxbye
:D

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines

i probably dont check the thread enough to keep up.. so.. someone want to update me again on the current ones?

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

It's 8 pages back.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

And the start of the college football season might have been nice time to start streaming ESPN3 on Xbox LIVE. Just saying.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Yup. Epic Failure.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Just won 400 points from Ford! Finally.

Thanks, TL... I mean, Ford.

Glad some other people are winning out there!

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

4000? Nice. :up:

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

damn, i only went back 7 1/2 pages


thx :up:

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

No. Just 400. I wish, though!

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Hey, just won another 400 from Ford. I guess that answers my question as to whether or not you can twice. So right now I'm at 800 from Ford and 400 from JCP from this current batch of text-to-wins. Gotta love these free point contests.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Nice, TL - time to get back on the ford wagon!

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

TTW stuff. JCP has stopped working for me. Has theevent stopped working for anyone?

It's stopped working for me as well and yet it still works on my gf's phone. So I'm not quite sure what's going on there.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Theevent and Fiesta worked for me this morning. I didn't get a reply for JCP today.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I actually just got a flood of responses from theevent. One saying I'm entered, the other 4 saying I already entered today. The response took over 9 hours. That's quite a lag.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Sweet! Just won 400 as well. Thanks TL.

That's 800 won. Now if NBC would come through with something.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Yay! Just got a new Xbox 360S 250GB blah blah blah for $225 off Amazon Warehouse Deals. Apparently they've gone as low as $160 but I feel happy getting it for $225. I can probably sell my 120gb other one for $150(ish). Only thing left is getting Kinect from Warehouse deals when it comes out.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Nice, I should start paying attention to the warehouse. I could use a 360S.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

The jcp code worked for me today. Won 400 points.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I have never heard of Amazon Warehouse deals before. Are these used refurbished products like the Dell Outlet? If I buy a 360 from Amazon Warehouse will it still be covered by warranty if it gets the RROD?

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

No, usually it's returned items - often where the packaging was destroyed or maybe some minor part is missing. Many people who have ordered consoles have reported damaged packaging, but a perfectly brand new console inside.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

They typically are eligible for warranty as long as someone didn't get it, register it and then return it. to that end, a lot of them aren't returned but are damaged in shipment and deemed unsellable at retail. As Daryl said, while there are some bad eggs, a lot of people do report brand new Wiis, 360s, PS3s, PSPs, video games and so on, encased in damaged packaging.

The good thing is you still have Amazon's 30 day return policy. So if you turn it on and it doesn't work: return it. If you turn it on and it does work, but someone has registered under their name: return it. And so on...
