I just got a new acer moniter, and wanted to hook my xbox up on that. The problem is that it only has DVI/ VGA. Are the VGA compnent cables made by micrsoft any good? I know they are expensive but I was thinking of getting the off brand. It supports 1080p, and is led backlit 23inch. I like having my computer and xbox next to each other, and my tv is getting a little older.

yeah my xbox is the same way. For the first 5 mins even if the game in installed my xbox makes a very loud noise.

I got two of the silver controllers a couple weeks after their release and both of the dpads came off of the controllers. I did not throw or treat them in a careless manner. They actually popped off and shot into te air. I was out $120 2 months after getting them. I stay away now I have two corded controllers.

I liked mine until it broke, so yes everyone is on point with the durability issues.

These are two different games so it is hard to say that one is better than the other. It is more about how you wish to play. Personally I don't like vehichles, and im more of a run and gun type player so I play call of duty online a lot more.

I always go with campaign mode, and then move to multiplayer.

I played on normal and did almost everything possible and it was about 14-15 hours for me. On a harder difficulty it should take more time to beat. For the most part I enjoyed the game. It was nothing too amazing, but fun to play while it lasts. Multiplayer is somewhat boring on both ends, and im not into racing at all.

Net Gear makes pretty good routers for wireless gaming. I have a dual band WNDR 4000 and I have had faster speeds then my last d-link router.

I will try and take it back for a new one. The weird thing is I have 2 controllers that are older and dont do that.

Just got the new controller with the tranforming d pad. I notice a problem that when playing Rage if I moved the thumbstick slighty to the right the aimer would still move right slowly. Its actually really annoying and I have to make sure the stick is perfectly in the middle. This problem accured with Call of Duty and Gears. Anyway I can fix this, or should I just take it back.?
