It seems to be working on mine (ISP is Windstream). I'm watching the Klitschko/Briggs fight on-demand. It takes FOREVER to buffer (was looking at the standby screen for about 10 minutes). Earlier I watched a few minutes of the Bulls/Mavericks game. At first it went to the stand-by screen, but when I selected the Go Live option on the navigation menu, it just came right up, albeit in very low quality. I doubt that I'll use it very much, but it's nice to have.

I'm a fan (probably my favorite band in fact). I really prefer the Danzig-era Misfits, but I like the Graves stuff as well. It's kind of a shame that that lineup didn't stick together longer, because his more recent solo stuff is quite good. As for the new lineup, it would be fine if they'd just get a real singer. Jerry tries as best as he can, and for some brands of punk he'd be fine, but horror punk has always been more melodic... Aside from that, there's nothing wrong with him on bass, Robo on Drums (he was with them back in '83) and Dez Cadena (Black Flag) on guitar. I do miss Doyle though, but he's got his own thing going now with Gorgeous Frankenstein (a much better band since Goolsby from Blitzkid joined).
Yeah, the fact the the cable had a switch escaped me when I first connected the 360 to my TV (which has component, but doesn't support 480p). Some third party cables do not have the switch...Make sure your cable is switched to SDTV and not HDTV

Xenogears for the original Playstation. It had a mature, gut-wrenching storyline, an interesting battle system and mechs (well, gears). What more could you ask for?
Honorable mention: Final Fantasy VI (SNES), Chrono Trigger (SNES), Knights of the Old Republic (XBOX), Mass Effect (X360).
I like a lot of what's been posted already, so I'm not going to mention those.
Alien vs. Predator (Atari Jaguar): The only proper AvP title on consoles IMHO (based on the Dark Horse comics and developed by Rebellion, who would later do the first AvP on the PC). You could play as the marine, alien or Predator, and it had all the bells and whistles you could expect. It was also set up more like an adventure game than a level-based FPS, which made things more interesting. It's primitive by today's standards, but still a lot of creepy fun.
Painkiller (XBOX): Awesome game. Huge bosses, wave after wave of enemies and kick-ass weapons. I could go on, but you really only need to watch this...
Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay (XBOX): The one makes the list just for being a licensed movie tie-in that doesn't suck. Honestly, it has some of the better stealth dynamics seen in a game, and some of the best graphics on the XBOX. It will probably never be playable on the 360, but apparently it's being remade...
A lot of people down on the Jaguar controller, It was actually pretty functional for more complex games. The games came with a plastic or cardboard insert that actually fit fight over the lower button panel, and even for its size it was actually pretty comfy.cosmostein77
Agreed wholeheartedly. The Jaguar controller is put-down a lot, but I've noticed that 95% of the people putting it down have never actually held it in their hands. The ProController is actually one of my favorite controllers ever (though not the absolute best) thanks to the addition of shoulder buttons and three more action buttons (much better for fighters).
As for the best: XBOX 360 Controller, Logitech Cordless Action controller for PS2.
Honorable mention: Gamecube, Dreamcast, Wiimote, RetroCon controller for PS2.
My vote for the worst controller goes to the N64. I hated the "claw" with a passion. Nothing else even comes close in my book.
