how much did that cost you? should of sent the receipt to microsoft

[Seabiscuit36]

ha, i'm sure they would pay me back.  It was only 20 bucks, and worth the money imo.

[mussa]

so you place your 360 on its side then, right? i have mine upright even though its white and uglier than all hell.

[Seabiscuit36]

yeah, i just have it sitting horizontal.  No problems yet, i had read other people saying this was one of the best ways to protect the 360

[mussa]

yea i wouldn't have it inside any sort of entertainment system. no enough free flowing air. thats why i keep mine upright. less area of the frame exposed when upright.

[Seabiscuit36]

Mine is in an entertainment center, its not enclosed, but i figured the more the better.  I've actually seen pictures of some guy who put a 360 inside a wine cooler fridge, he's never had problems, go figure.

Just started playing Assassin's Creed. Graphically this is probably the nicest looking game ever made. Some of the complaints I've heard is that this game gets too repetitive but I haven't had that problem yet (only 3-4 hours in).

Finished up Mass Effect last week, awesome game, got about 30 hours of game time out of it. Will definitely replay it once I get the chance.

agree with u on the grahics. but I stopped playing the game when it gets to the part where you have to climb the 12 towers. Very long arduous task that I couldnt figure out--even with people explaining the cheats.

Not enough action in the game for me to want to continue and yes, very repetitive

[Diomedes]

Ever seen it?

[mussa]

i'd like to pick up AC, heard its great game.

this is on my list though first:

I just called, their customer service is hilarious. The automated part is so corny.  The indian woman was impossible to understand. I'm pretty sure I heard her say that I'm getting free Xbox Live because of this.

omg,  don't even get me started   MS needs to thank god for United Airlines call in center as it is one notch below them on the "we could really give a shtein about you and your product issues" scale.

bought Assassin's Creed the other day and ended up taking it back cause my girl got it for me for xmas. so i exchanged it for the orange box. played half life 2 for awhile and its pretty cool. def not a next gen game, but decent. havn't tried the other 2 games yet. so im getting Assassin's Creed and MX vs ATV Untamed for xmas.

Give Assassin's Creed some time before you make a decision on whether you like it or not. The first time I played it I was blown away by the graphics but the gameplay was only so so. Now that I'm really into it I really like it. Word of advice: when the peasant women beg you for money and won't leave you alone, put the punch icon on and give them a good jab. They'll leave you alone and steer clear from you for a little while.
