Got mine on launch day... Manufacture date was 10-30-05 and I had no problems until last thursday... 3 Red lights... Called Microsoft, and they are sending me a UPS box and shipping me a new (refurbished)one once they get my old one. Plus one month free of Xbox live gold for my inconvenience... WOO HOO... a $5 value for my troubles... thanks. I still have not recieved my UPS pre paid box yet though and the arab on the other end of the support line told me it would be there in 3 business days... I called last friday, so by the latest it should have been here yesterday. If it doesnt come today I will have to call again.

I am going through some serious withdrawl...

I heard about that too.  Its a useless feature but i bet awesome when used.  You need 3 Xbox 360s and 3 forza 2 games to utilize it though

Not only that... you need multiple TV's.... you have to be a hard core forza fan to got to that extent.

I would say Halo 3 Beta.  Was so pumped to play it and it seems almost identical to Halo 2...weapons, graphics, etc.  Don't get me wrong, still going to pick it up for the single player...but not the end all of Xbox 360 games like I thought it was going to be.mdbuchman

I would have to say that HALO 3 is the current champion of over hyping. I have the beta and... am speachless, I had high expectations, especally considering that I never played Halo or Halo 2 and .... I was very underwhelmed playing the beta. Good mechanics, but aside from that a whole lot of... meh. I will take a Clancy shooter any day over HALO.

$50 a year is a rip off, but there is no way around it.

Online multiplayer is more of a necessity, since campaigns for games have gotten shorter and shorter.

How is $50 a year a rip off?

That price is roughly 8.2 CENTS a day... or $4.17 a month... if you cant afford 8.2 cents a day, you shouldnt even have a $400.00+ gaming machine, or $60.00 games. If in a month you cant srape together less than $5 you are either homeless, or an un-employed un-willing to work waste of space. In my humble opinion. GET A JOB HIPPIE!

What are you guys talking about, I can always find GOOD unranked games, Sometimes it is difficult to get in to a ranked match of PGR, but if you wait in the pre game area for 5+ minutes people trickle in.

Regardless, I still have tons of fun online in PGR 3.
