I just bought my HALO 3 Console yesterday and I also have an ELITE. Personally, I have mixed reactions with the HALO 3 console. The color isn't exactly my cup of tea, but it doens't make me hate it either. It does come with a free theme and gamer pictures that match the console. They aren't that bad, I actually kind of like them. I do however like the design of the HALO 3 360, by design I mean the "art" on the console. It comes with the console, special HALO 3 edition 20gb hdd, halo 3 wired headset, matching controller, play n charge kit, powerbirck, a/c cable, and etherenet cord. I dislike the 20gb HDD and it just comes preloaded with HALO 3 vids and forza 2. In the long run the ELITE will last you so much longer. First off the Elite does come with the HDMI cable and also a 120gb HDD. Most of you are going to say 120gb is pointless, but look at it this way. I own 60 some XBOX 360 games and 16 arcade games, which means I download a lot of map packs and bonus content. I also buy a lot of themes and gamer pictures and download all of the free ones. I know you are thinking it may not sound like a lot, but trust me over time you will easily eclipse that 13gb left on the 20GB HDD, especially with all of the games coming out in november Then again it isa HALO 3 Limited Edition Console.
Go to your router settings and mess around with security settings. Also setup port forwarding for your xbox 360, and make it your dmz host as well. I can't really go in-depth with this because I do not know your ISP(Internet Server Provider) or what kind of router you have. Your best bet is to figure all of that out and either go on a scavanger hunt on google or just call your ISP and let them help you. You shouldn't be calling Microsoft because it isn't their fault.
I guess it just comes down to how much time you spend playing the game. For the NBA 2K series "Hall of Fame" difficulty isn't an issue since i've been playing them since NBA 2K back on dreamcast, so i'm set for the cpu. However, Madden NFL 08 on the other hand is a completely different story. On "All Madden" difficulty the cpu just flat out grills you, atleast in my situation. They sack you 5 or 6 times a game. You throw to an open guy and next thing you know 3 or 4 people are guarding him and waiting for the pick. I agree Rainbow Six: Vegas does a very good job with this problem. Realistic is realistic. One two shots and you are dead and same goes for them. Most people have a hard time with those games because they do not realize Rainbow Six games are tactical shooters and not run & gun. Another game or should I say series that demonstrates those unhuman qualities is CoD on veteran difficulty and HALO on legendary to some extent.
