    Dead Rising 3, Forza 5, Ryse - $39.99 at Best Buy ($31.99 w/ Gamer Unlocked)

    DR3 is the best XB1 release title IMO. Controls, graphics, and fun factor are just all great. I have not played Ryse, so we'll find out soon enough if I have to edit my initial statement. I just purchased it since I have GCU until April. Forza 5 has soaked up the majority of my time...

    Forza Motorsport 5 $39.99 at Amazon

    I level up every 3 races or so. I don't think that's too bad. Honestly, the micro transactions seem to be geared towards people who don't want to wait to earn things. I have not had any issue with buying the car I want when I get to the next race series. *EDIT* It does help that they patched...

    Forza Motorsport 5 $39.99 at Amazon

    I have been a Forza fan forever, and 5 is no exception. The driving is still awesome. I am not sure why everyone is getting their panties in a bunch when it comes to micro-transactions. I am not sure how it's any different than the majority of games out there? If you don't want to pay, don't get...

    XBOX points expiring 1 year after conversion to local currency

    I am not sure how many points one hoards where it becomes an issue in using them within a year and a half from now. Not for nothing, but when one hoards an item, in this case points, one should be prepared for the possibility that something will change and you may not make out as well as you...

    The Orange Box (PS3) $26.80 at Amazon

    Servers are still up. This the go to game when my group of friends can all get together and play something. I don't believe anyone in the group paid more than $10 for the game. Not really concerned about condition as long as the box/manual/disc are all there. I typically buy used versions anyway.

    GRID 2 - Officially Coming 2013

    I thought the first GRID was great. The handling was good, the AI made the game interesting, etc. NFS Shift and Shift 2, along with every other NFS made for current generation gaming have all been garbage as a direct result of terrible AI mixed with terrible car handling. GRID was fun and arcade...

    1995 Mustang Cobra - Forza Horizon - Free

    Forza Horizon was fun, but I have no interest in the car packs. I had the 1000 GS within the first week. I am near complete again after buying the rally pack (need to win 10 races for the last two achievements but can't seem to find enough people playing the rally portion). I bought the...

    ebay: 1600 XBLA Points - $15 (What's the scam here?)

    Feedback seems a little quick too. Perhaps took the loss here to get a few positive reviews about a similar item and will return with a large quantity of something nonexistent?

    XBLA is godlike in 2012

    However, there is also a lot of other great things coming out that I am also excited about. JSRF will be awesome!

    XBLA is godlike in 2012

    Trials Evolution could honestly fulfill my gaming for the year. I still play Trials HD an outrageous amount of time. I have been looking forward to Evolution for so long. The amount of content that you are going to get with the new game, as well as the multiplayer, is going to make this my...

    XBLA - Jet Set Radio - 9.19.2012 - 800pts - 100% Of OG Soundtrack Included!

    I LOVED this game. JGR and JSRF were both awesome. I couldn't play enough of them. This will be an easy day one purchase for me.

    Xbox Live Fall 2011 Dashboard Out Now - 12/06/11.

    ... I hate the new update. I honestly have no idea who looked at that heap of crap and thought it was an improvement. I don't know... just... sucks. Why mess with something that works? Oh well. We'll see.

    Issues with my XBox, anyone elelse have this issue?

    @unopepito06 - or a pass-the-buck problem... :) @army - I think you're on the right track. I have 2 hdmi cables connecting xbox to tv with the surround sound connecting the two. Maybe I'll switch to component cables. I just love the 1 wire hdmi thing... @shrike - do you have a wire...

    Issues with my XBox, anyone elelse have this issue?

    Okay, so, previous to this last update, I was able to sign on fine, play games fine, and have the occassional issue with Netflix. Now, because of the update, I had crazy amounts of issues getting logged on, and the new Netflix app prevents me from being able to watch movies at all. I cannot...

    Bioshock 2 Limited Edition - $10 - Best Buy (Dead)

    I got mine in the mail with no imperfections whatsoever. What a great pickup! The blacklight posters are sweet. I have no way to listen to the record, but very cool collectible.
