@hrt_rulz01: I'm an adult, and it pisses me off that I may not be able to enjoy my hobby over the holiday break, but I'll get over it. BUT it REALLY makes me upset for the kiddos who may not get to play with their new consoles they get for Christmas.

@hrt_rulz01: I'm personally glad that Gamespot chose not to do a story on it. Those asshats need as little publicity as possible.

As an Xbox 360 owner and player, I want to say this: We are ALL gamers, and regardless of what platform we play on, we need to remember that this could happen to anyone. I'm tired of many of my fellow Xbox players trashing PSN. My heart goes out to you guys for not being able to play your games online. Hope this gets resolved soon.

I'll usually play one game at a time if it's a story-driven game. But as I'm playing that, I may also play Forza 3 or Madden.

I was in the same situation you are currently in. I went ahead and purchased an Elite about a month ago. Seems like this machine runs quieter.
