I want reimbursment for all of my games too.It's getting a little ridiculous. I just got Halo 3, got to the Flood, and it now keeps freezing up on me, that's even with the HDD removed, and no memory card, also freezes on Forza II, and just about every other game I put in it.So now I gotta wait a few weeks before I can play Halo 3 again....

yeah the x360 has dvdrom problems too. My friend is on his 5th now, as his 4th has nasty dvdrom reading issues and is LOUD AS heck. honestly this hardware issue is freaking ridiculous, i cant believe people can put up with this. MS is giving free old games with repair now, but its like viva pinata and pgr3. we should do some halo 3 coop or something...so far im not to impressed with the game...... i need to change the controller for sure.. the B as melee sucks

i meant like team of friends... cuz random people either arent great and dont help or others think there COD gods... and take off like a banshee.halo maps are good, just only some you can play in certain types of matchmaking. but its still fun.

I probably won't have my 360 back for a while, so we'll have a chance to talk at the meet!

oh i played a lot...got fairly good but some things just (removed) the hell out of you after a long time playing online. like the last stand crap, lots of times your bullets wouldnt kill the person, laggy as hell servers (id think that would be fixed in final) and no hugging walls... this is the first game in my life..where i got so frusterated i almost threw my controller...and thats saying a lot since i only play online these days....

anyone play sega rally revo? at first its hard, but once you learn you never use the brake and to just let off the accel, turn and get back on the gas for those slide turns, its a wicked game. I think im going to pick this sucker up.

I'll let you know if they do, I'll probably get my "new" one next week... i hope i get the one with the 65 nanometer Falcon motherboard... those seem to be the good ones, they are the newest ones, and don't have near the same issues with the over heating...If I get a free game I'm sure it's one I already have... and I'm sure it will have some sticker on it so I can't sell it or trade it in.

awesome..playing GH3 first then i'll hit up pro street and give my opinion..and i thought it was multi, only cause i saw that u were in a multi room or something like that..some event but i could have sworn it sent multi..of some sort..i'll shut up **few things i like about the new GH3, 1 better graphics and a lil more realistic, the people actually look like people and not dragonball Z type stuff, 2 new online modes, like guitarbattle and co-op and some other ones, and 3, great songs so far, cant wait to see the full list of the game

alright so after playing prostreet, im not all that impressed, i guess cause it's more realistic then any of the other NFS's, great graphics though, and somewhat hard to upshift/downshift with the clutch button cause it's hard to get used to, but overall i give it a 7.5 out of 10

Also, from observations made of the demo, it doesn't appear to be as much about modding as the past games were, and that was probably my favorite feature. I hope it's going to be as good as the past NFS games, we'll just have to wait and see I guess.

you dont need the clutch in the demo, i think thats only for drifting cuz the cluth did nothign for me. as for modding, you can or should be able to mod the heck out of your car in this new one. I like the old NFS games, the underground/stree racing ones to me were meh, never got to into them. the NFS3, nfs hot pursuit were amazing! love'd em!

Best one ever was NFS Most wanted... the gameplay and controls were perfect. the unrealism of that one kept you interested. i may rent this one just in case. but if its MEH then ill prolly just grab NFS:MW for like 20 bucks.

NFSMW is too damn hard! I've had it since before I got my 360, and it is ridiculously hard! I started playing it way back when and barely got through Earl (#8 I think?). I couldn't freaking get past the Bounty and stuff to get to the next chick! Finally I started a new game and have gotten a few people further, but this next one looks to be a doozy with the requirements! It's a PITA to get enough bounty, and when your heat gets high enough to actually get a decent bounty your being chased non-stop by 100 cars, trucks, and choppers, and then you can rarely get away for it to even count! The 1 thing I hate the most is when you hit a cop-stopper and it goes to the slow-mo screen, then it goes back to normal and says you ran through a spike-strip while in uncontrolled slo-mo! Then you have 4 flats and are forced to get pulled over! That REALLY pisses me off! But I'm stil playing it, so go get it guys, so we can play online! lol

Dude. I had NFSMW beat in like 2 weeks.... Try Forza 2, that game is awesome, and you can pretty much make it as hard as you want to!Edit: and I know what you're talking about with the bounty... On one of the last ones you basically have play keep away from the cops for 45-50 minutes to get enough for the bounty... I don't have the game anymore so I can't remember how much you had to get but I know it was A LOT!

ya when i played the demo for prostreet, i played it as a king..which is full clutch and everything..even shifting down..which is kinda hard, to control the car, shift down, plus clutch, and brake..lol..a lil to much to do at once, but from what i read you can customize the cars, the demo is just the done up cars...i've also payed off both COD4 and GH3, so just gotta wait til they come in...GH3 is sunday and COD4 is Nov 6th, cant wait for either
