I've had my 360 since Nov 2006, after a few months I broke down and bought a Xbox live gold card for a year, and now my year is almost up....But my question is, If I drop back to Silver, do I still get to download roster updates for lets say NBA 2k8, or if there is any update on any game do I still get it?? Also can I still download demos?? These are about the only things I do on Live (yeah I know its sad) because I just cant get into online gaming......maybe cuz I am 29 goin on 30, and didnt grow up with the online gaming like some of you younger gamers did, or maybe I just suck and I'm too scared to get my arse beat, but for whatever reasons I ended up playing games online maybe 2-3 times total in a whole year.....So I have no problem going back to the FREE silver, I just want to make sure I still can download updates on games I own if there is an update, and that I can still download demos from time to time....thanks in advance for whoever takes the time to answer

Whats the best way to charge my 2 controllers without using the USB cable?? I also have 360 and I can charge 2 battery packs on a charge dock or whatever it is while I'm at work.....Does anyone know if Sony sells something similar to that , that I can buy??? thanks

i'm just gonna break out a couple of things that ppl seem to forget. one is that if it wasn't for halo, the xbox would have bombed, and bombed harder then any platform in existence, it is the reason as to why you are playing and enjoying your 360 now. and seconed of all, halo standardized over half of the aspects of modern console FPS's, from the control layout, to the regenerating health, to weapon management. i'm not saying that you have to like it. i'm just saying that ppl should show a lil more respect, not just for halo, but for all things gaming in general. simply becuase there is a difference between not liking somthing, and being totaly ignorant towards the situation.wreak

LOL, who are you people, and what did you do to the people in the real world?? Call Sony?? Call the police?? Aint none of that stuff gonna work....To be honest Zack, judging from the way you write, and the things you say, you sound like someone who would get jacked.... You sound soft and weak.... Thats probably why they stole your PS3, cuz they knew they could and you wouldnt do a darn thing about it..... What you need to do is start bustin some skulls man....You said you have an idea of who it is, or an idea of a few people who it could be....so what you need to do is get off this computer, go find those guys, and sock someone in the jaw.... Even if it wasnt the right guy, maybe it wasnt them but they know who it was, and even if it wasnt the guy at all, who cares, you need to send a message that you wont be punked...Thats the only way your going to see your PS3 again.... and maybe you still wont get it back, but atleast if it WAS one of those guys, atleast you paid them back with an arse whoppin.... I'm just saying, you sound like a overly nice guy that shady people know they can take advantage of you, and you wont do anything about it, so there not scared to steal from you.... Thats why you need to change that ASAP and let those guys know whats up....

Has anyone who has both 360 and PS3 ever traded in a game from 1 console, to get the same game on the other console??? And if so what do they charge you for that?? I just bought a PS3 but I already own DMC 4 for the 360. Now that I have a PS3 I want to trade my 360 version for a PS3 version, not because I think its better, but because I remember back when DMC series and the GTA series were ONLY on PS, and now playing those former Sony exclusives I loved so much on a different console is kinda weird. I will always think of DMC and GTA as playstation games. I'm just glad I got my PS3 before GTA 4 comes out...So anyways just curious if anyone has done something like this before and what it cost them, cuz its not worth it if I have to spend another 20 or 30 bucks just to do this... Another good reason I want to do it is I already beat the game on 360, so now I can do it all over again on the PS3
