my friend triplett's xbox broke again! after having it back for only the weekend so he is on his 4th in 3 months hahah. dude this xbox is a pos. I will get halo 3 then only get ps3 games. BUT I think ill be on another business trip during the halo 3 launch ! I am going to ask gamestop if my roommates can pick it up for me :/ How you like cod4? I am now thinking its meh. Sometimes the multiplayer is just so f'd up that i get so frustrated i want to throw the controller...which I never usually feel like doing. graphics are good, but theres no wall hugging like in r6v . I still like r6v more.

Well, qaullified for my 2nd tournament on Forza 2....and quit during the 2nd round race. Race one, this guy hits me, and my car is toast. I limp around get it repaired, and manage to finish 3rd (top 4 go to the next round) Race 2, same guy 'loses it' and takes me out.....I watch the replay (with the telemetry) and the sucker pulled a PIT manover on me! I bet he did it in the 1st race too....he messages me and says he's sorry, ect....I message him back and tell him I know he did it on purpose, so he blocks communication.......Too bad some people have to cheat and ruin a good game!

I find that I can go much longer with disposable batteries than the rechargeable ones. They don't stay charged for crap.

those packs made just for the x360 controller are crazy expensive, imo. I have a wii and x360 and some other devices that use AA and AAA so I just got a energizer 15min charger and like 20 batteries off ebay all brand new for under 50 ...deals baby deals

I got the charger and like 12 AA and 8 AAA rechargables for like 50 bucks. that can power all my xbox conrtollers my wii ones and your GF's vibrator Oh yea MRCN RCE - for sure rechargables! i almost got the xbox ones but thought...hey what about my wii? cuz dude you are right they suck batteries like no other. And buying standard ones is a HUGE waste. They should ship with rechargeables for helping the environment at least geez. I like the ps3 doing that but to change the battery you gotta open it and diy, which is fine with me but most people would just get a new controller.

its not bout better.... bout quality and space....Premium: 20GB drive, white, component cable, Elite: 120GB drive, all black, HDMI cableUp to you on if you want "THE ELITE" or the premium. its a hundred bucks more.Or you can get the HALO 3 edition which is a good buy cuz you get premium but in a halo'd out case and a wireless headset with a play and charge kit.

The regular does not have a hard drive and some other stuff and I would not recommend it. However, the premium would be fine unless you download tons of media, in which the bigger drive of the elite would come in handy.

Does elite have better graphics? I don't have a HDTV, so is there any point besides the larger hard drive?

the elite and some premium systems have HDMI output so you can get the full 1080p on movies. but the graphics will not be better.elite is black, has hdmi and 120gb hdd. that is the ONLY difference. I like tons of hdd space so thats why i got the elite. 20gb isnt enough for my demo addiction.
