I finally bought Red Dead Redemption. I'm only a short way in, but I'd agree with the great reviews it's getting. (And I'd be playing a lot more if we didn't have out-of-town guests this weekend.)
After dinner last night, I came to the man cave to play a bit. My 12-year-old daughter walked in as Marston was galloping down the trail toward Hanging Rock. She asked the name of the game. I told her, and she replied, "Red Dead Redemption is Barbie Horse Adventures for men." I kinda see her point.

Within four hours of starting COD: MW 2, halfway through Halo ODST and with Rock Band 2 hidden in the closet waiting for Christmas morning, I get the RROD. This on a console I received after losing my first console to the RROD while playing the original COD: MW.
If my previous experience with xbox support is any guide, then I expect a repaired console returned to me, factoring in that I now live overseas and use the APO system, no sooner than two or three months from now. That would make for an unfestive Christmas.
