Got to go suicidal in a group of guys and start tossing grenades, can't think of another way to do this. Only way to do it with a rocket is to get killed while the rocket is flying which is near impossible.
Wait, you are serious? You don't see it being any different? When Xbox live first launched, all you had was online multiplayer, a friends list and voice chat. Now, its a full on entertainment suite with streaming Netflix, downloadable arcade games and updates, party chat independent of any game, videos, demos, etc. To say Xbox live hasn't changed is to say that cars of today really aren't any different from the Ford Model T of the early 1900s. Sure their basic function is the same, but they have certainly evolved a great deal. As for original Xbox games on Live, as everyone else said, not anymore. However, I know there are 3rd party services out there that still allow online connectivity for old Xbox games. I think one service used to be called Xbox Connect. [QUOTE="mariokart64fan"]ok i didnt see any overall improvment to xbox live since it launched in 2004
i still see the same service , and with very little much difference , such as espn and such -espn reqiuires a afficilated internet sp
so ya pretty much useless,
and ya greed is all i see from ms , they charge 10 dollars more then they did when it first launch and does nothing much different in fact
all i see is a bunch of useless ad's which in my case cause me to frease and disconnect from xbox live
If you want to spend between $200 and $250, get http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+22%22+Class+/+720p+/+60Hz+/+LCD+HDTV/9769194.p?id=1218170029911&skuId=9769194 Samsungs are the best. And for between 20 and 30 inches, the difference between 720p and 1080p really isn't a big deal. I'd prefer a higher quality 720p over a lower quality 1080p.
I use these: http://cgi.ebay.com/Tritton-Audio-Xtreme-360-AX360-with-TWO-Headphones_W0QQitemZ300500545627QQcategoryZ3276QQcmdZViewItem They are hard to find now, but I've always found them to work incredibly well. I remember I got them at the same time I got Splinter Cell Double Agent. While using them I vividly remember a game of Spies v. Mercs where I was searching for a spy but was having a hard time. I stopped and listened closely and heard the spy clambering around above me. I turned and fired to where I thought the sound was coming from and was very satisfied to see a spy fall from the rafters. Couldn't have done that without good surround sound!
Goods and services are worth what people are willing to pay for them. If people are willing to pay big money for seemingly simple things like setting up a PS3, etc, then let them, its their own fault for not figuring out how to do it on their own.
Best Buy is so notorious for stuff like this. Their "Geek Squad" offers things like setting up your PS3 for you and updating its firmware for like $150. They also offer to install game updates for your new game purchases for similarly outrageous amounts of money. It's quite a low marketing scheme on their part, and doesn't exactly gain them much consumer trust (besides the idiots they prey off of).
None of the answers really encapsulate the way I feel. I like to have good K/D ratio and hate it when I have a bad one, but it doesn't ruin the game for me or anything, which is good, because I'm not on the positive side all that often haha.
Very simply, don't get a warranty on anything less than $1000. Anything below $1000 isn't worth it because they are relatively cheap to replace. The only reason I would get a warranty for an Xbox is if I couldn't afford to replace it, and if that is your financial situation you really need to reconsider whether you should be buying an Xbox.
