LOL! Ok, let's be clear. It WON'T! If your existing TV/Cable/Sat source is slow at channel changing, then the new Xbox will be slow at channel changing too. I'm guessing MS did NOT have a ratty old 3rd-party Comcast stb connected with a wired IR-Blaster scotch-taped to the cable box's...

Ok, so I'm really late listening to the show, but I'm really surprised CheapyD, Wombat and Shipwreck repeatedly expressed skepticism concerning the SPEED at which the One can switch between "games" and "TV/Other". Cheapy implies the voice switching demo was rigged and Wombat agreed...

Last summer, I picked up a few clearance titles at the Milwaulkee/Ashland location. They weren't very good titles though, stuff like MotoGP 07, March Madness 07 & Virtua Tennis 3. I went by there this weekend and there was nothing. Games that are on clearance everywhere else are still at full...

It seems to me the prices listed on the 1st page are very much YMMV. I've been to 4 different Sears around the Chicagoland area and every single one of them has different prices on their clearance games. I would have thought there was a single price controlled by some corporate server, but I...

It's 17.99 at the Chicago Fry's.

Thanks for the heads-up. Swung by today and grabbed Bioshock (they only had 2 copies left, i took 1) and the last copy of Bully. They had 1 copy of Viking something-or-other also priced at 19.97, 1 copy of The Club for just under $25, and a shit ton of Madden 08's and Tiger Woods 08's on the...

Is this the game-only version or is this the one bundled with the controllers?

Hi everyone, First deal post for me. I hope this hasn't already been posted. Didn't bother reading through all 113 pages before posting. :) :) :) Just got back from the Target store located at 2656 N Elston Ave, Chicago (near north store). This ONE store is offering Xbox Live 12+1 month...

Oh, and you can get streaming internet radio too. Just save the station's exact URL as a shortcut, then add the shortcut to you FAVORITES under the music library. There are some streaming stations pre-included, but they mostly suck and have stupid ads like every other song.

The RADIO menu option Vista Media Center is "real" radio (ie. terrestrial radio). To access this feature, you need a TV Tuner card that has an on-board FM Tuner.... Back when XP Media Center Edition 2005 originally shipped, all certified MCE TV-tuner cards were required to have FM tuners. I...

I doubt you'll get much response to these types of questions on this forum. I'd suggest you go to A/V related sites. Specifically: thegreenbutton.com (MCE and VMC specific site) and avsforum.com (hardcore A/V nuts there.... look under the HTPC forum specifically) I have Vista, but I don't...

These guys used to be a legitimate company like 2 yrs ago. But now they are just crooks. Avoid these slim balls at all costs. They are SUPER QUICK to charge your CC, but terrible at ever sending you any games. Trying to cancel is a hassle and GOD HELP YOU if you ever need to contact their...

Hey thanks man! Good to know. I'm on the phone with MS right now and they think it's the same thing... so nothing to worry about. I'm relieved. :applause: The only problem now is that they are only giving a 6 month warranty! :cry: While speaking with the CSR, she had me register the unit...

It's really hard to isolate the exact location of the rattle. It is definitely located near the REAR of the unit. But I really can't determine if it's closer to the center where the exhaust fans are located or if it's on the Back/Left corner (HDMI port side). The rattle seems to be staying...

Hey guys, 1st post but have been lurking for a while. I just received an Xbox360 Elite as a gift from a Microsoft tech conference. As I was unpacking the unit, I notice there is something rattling around inside the unit. It sounds like a loose screw or like something small has broken off...
