I was over at ChumpUSA, looting what I could from their blowout, and I picked up a 12 month Live package(12 month card/200 MS points/free arcade game/360 headset) for 10% off, among other things.

Then I stopped by at my PMB place and picked up my 360, which UPS was kind enough to get to me a day early. Or they are just making up for taking 7 days to get it to Texas. Three-Day-Select my arse!

So I get home and start opening up my bags of loot. I get the Live box out, and notice that the tape that is supposed to seal the box was broken. I though, just my luck, I bet it's empty. Well everything was in there, including a second 12 month card! Woohoo! Now my Live account is paid for till January of 2010!

Just a side note, Apples old iMac style USB keyboard works great with a 360, but the cord is pretty short.

So I'm sure you are asking, Smitty, did they fix your XBox? No they didn't! What a crock of shit. I guess I'll think about getting a nice DVD player, since I can't watch DVDs on my 360 anymore.

You are in for a lot more scoring once MS gets your console. Every day that they have it is a f'n adventure.

Kings Quest man oh man... I was young when I played those but they are one of the most memorable gaming memories especially III and IV.

You could go to walmart and exchange the controller for a live card. But then you have to go to walmart.

What a cute game. I've know of the game, but I've never played it. When I sweep my floor with a broom I look just like that...hehe heh eh LOL!!! ET!....I read about that game. They had to bury it in some landfield in Mexcio. That is one nice collection you have. Thanks for showing the video. I got a chuckle out of it.

I hope that new LE wireless headset works 110% better than the 'regular' edition one. I wouldn't recommend anyone pick one of these things up, total waste of money in my opinion, worthless accessory. The controllers look cool, i worry about the coating though on the paint job wearing out. Take some pics of the little action figure thing inside, i'm interested in seeing what that looks like. It's the same in both the covie and USNC package right?

No, they are different figures. One is this one with the AR and the other is a running pose with the shotgun. I don't currently have a good headset and thought I would give it a try. I heard bad things about the first releases of the original one, but I've also heard people say they are great. I guess it depends on where you live, as in how much extra interference is around you. I'm not an expert, I have no idea. We'll see how it goes.

Good luck man. Hope that coffin arrives soon. My 360 is about to eat it. When I'm playing in Foundry I get static like snow on my screen. Funny thing is that the menu windows looks fine. Also my disk drive has been giving me cannot read errors. So my troubles should begin shortly. Hopefully your's end soon. Best of luck.

I called last week with the same issue and was given the same response. I had ordered a coffin on Dec. 21 , but due to whatever glitch they had in the system my order got "lost". They had a new box out to me in 2-3 days. Strange though, the first girl I talked to knew what the problem was and was able to correct it right away. No need to go to the supervisor at all. Good luck.

I guess they figured you had probably tortured your original wireless controller for intel.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you chief - there's no excuse for this kind of shitty service from a company like Microsoft.

it's all good... he'll be well taken care of, and it sounds like he's got a Mandolorian woman who's devoted to getting him better... will probably end up his wife.
