No, I've never seen that, I've never seen anyone drive their garbage out to the curb and bang the hell out of it with a stick. No, I've never seen that.

I would wait and see how bad this turns out to be.

Crosswind technique: "Using your peripheral vision, react to body movements, gasps, groans, and shouts from the other side of the cockpit, and always remember that it's better to be lucky than good."

Yea MS replaces anything with no problem.
And why would they release something that doesn't work, surely it's a gpu problem like he said.

Organic Superlube? Oh, it's great stuff, great stuff. You really have to keep an eye on it, though--it'll try and slide away from you the first chance it gets.

Sounds pretty awesome, I've been wanting to hear what the console is like aside from the gameplay.

Are you playing with an HDTV?

I have an xbox right now with XBMC, but I don't think a 360 would be worth it at this point.

I'd love the media extender features, but I can do so much with XBMC right now. The games would have to be a lot better on the 360 for me to upgrade, and then I'd need an HDTV to take advantage of the better graphics.

My brother got a Xbox 360 with CoD2 and PGR3. The reflections in PGR3 are some of the best ive ever seen. CoD2 is a lot less technically impressive, but it runs at a constant 60 FPS, unlike the poor PC port (even on high end computers).

I won't repeat everything Ricoder said, so ill give you my experiences with Xbox Live. My bro started by playing CoD2. We got into the game relatively quickly (despite the painful 30min registration for the MS Passport acct, entirely on the controller). Thats where the positives end. After 15 clearly consequtive events, we deducted that the enemy was INVISIBLE. On one section, the enemy was crouching right in front of him, stood up right in front of his face and got melee'ed in the back of the head. In another, his teammate shot at the doorway and an enemy corpse flew out of nowhere. If this didn't happen, we were greeted with unplayable lag or random disconnects. Needless to say, we never completed a game out of like 15 :?

PGR3 ran flawlessly on Live though. Until they iron out the bugs and have a better game selection, I would hold back on buying it.
