Yeah, 2400 spent on XBLA and DLC nets 800 refund. Sorry about talking about the new ESPN app on the system. I don't remember talking much about "sports".

Can anyone recommend a good controller charging system for the 360?

Is it only on XBLA titles, or can it be on add-ons like Rock Band songs and expansion packs and such?

You can do add-ons and Rock Band songs too.

OK, cool. I definitely just spent over 2400 on Mass Effect expansions and Rock Band songs.

rechargeable AA NiMH batteries - Eneloops or any other high output rechargeables. Seriously, don't waste your money on overpriced recharging systems that only work on one device.

I wish I had taken this advice a long time ago.

The systems they sell all suck.

I love my MS charger and batteries, although I've never had any of the problems others mention. I just wish MS would have allowed the plastic instrument market to use the same ones.

I've been using a Nyko pack for the last 4 years without any problems. As i've said before, I have rechargable batteries too but often find them being used for other things without a fresh set. Having XBox specific ones are handy.

What sort of issues?

We haven't had any issues with Netflix since upgrading.

To those with the new dashboard:

Do the left and right triggers do anything in the played games/achievements section now? The bumpers skip ahead three games but I was hoping they'd use the triggers to do a quick jump to the end of the list.

Any other beta users still unable to use a lot of items with their avatar? Every time I've gone to the marketplace and it says I have to have my items upgraded, it gives an error code partway into the process.

A couple of my items work, but overall the avatar marketplace is still pretty screwed.

A bunch from it not being able to retrieve my Queue, movies not showing up in queue or in the different genres showing up, movies playing then quiting after a couple minutes.

In the past we've had trouble with our queue not showing up.

I deleted both the Netflix app and it's cache from the HDD and re-downloaded and that seemed to help.
