back on ghost reacon 2 (original xbox) we had a lot of good laughs about this kid savage and his gf (cant remember her name). He was the guy we all picked on in our clan. And we would tk him a lot and hump his dead body "Ohhhhh savage".

And another time this little british kid was talking **** I couldnt even understand so I said his dad should have beat him more... He says he doesnt know who is dad is... another guy in the clan says its probably the milkman... and true story Jeff goes hey thats me I work at hood - hey is your moms name Nancy? (he already knew her name from the kid talking) pretty funny cause the kid was going mental in british.

If thats true I would probably go that way. I know GS will give me at least something even for a broken 360 and ebay will probably get me a little more. I can just take out the hard drive and plug it in the arcade version right? Arcade comes with hdmi too?

lol whyw ould I want a ps3? I pretty much only play madden and the occasonal rpg. Even if I buy another 360 its still cheaper than a ps3 was at launch. And I mostly play on live so I want a GOOD connection. Oh yeah madden for the past couple years has been pretty bad in frame rates for the ps3.

Ok so last night I was playing a nice game of madden everything was fine. Then my 360 is telling me my controller is disconnected. Ok I had my wireless plugged into my charge thing plugged into my 360 so how does that happen. I try switching the charge kit to the other usb port. Then I realize the red light isnt on meaning it wasnt charging. Ok now I grab my wired controller thinking the charge kit is broke. Nope wired doesnt connect. However it does connect to the back usb port. Ok now that sucks but not the biggest deal.

Today I go to play madden and my 360 wont turn on. No red lights no green lights nothing. Disc drive wont open. Yes my power supply light is orange. Call up xbox as usual wait for a while and talk to someone who doesnt know anything tells me to do everything Ive already done. My warranty is up and it will cost me $99 to get it fixed. My 360 was bought first day, Already had RROD earlier on it this year. That pissed me off enough I take good care of my system especially after the RROD. I dont have money to get it fixed and worse yet I was planning on selling it soon because I am low on cash.

Only thing can think of is that my system is just old and died. I will try bringing it to a GS and see maybe a power cord is broke. Why should I spend $99 on a old system that will probably get anothe problem. Anyone else had this happen? It it just an isolated event that doesnt effect many people - or the beginning of a new wave of hardware failure?

I am also going to check to see if the xbox I got back after RROD is the same one I bought and was just fixed or they sent me a different system. If its a different system I dont think I should have to pay for this failure.

Im so mad that I honestly dont care anymore. Just spent $90 on a madden that is the only game I really care about now I cant play it. Oh yeah and I have a nice hd-dvd player with a good amount of hd-dvds that still work and I like to watch now that is worthless as well.

I bought the hall of fame edition that comes with nfl head coach too. So far I dont really like it but mainly because the camera angles are different. Similar to playing madden on the 360 at first when I was used to the orginal xbox angles. Hopefully it just takes a while getting used to. I was level 25 on 08 but I am having difficulty doing well so far. Still seems like too many INTs and AI is just wack sometimes. Solo tackling takes some getting used to .... but in the end after playing it for a while it looks like a slight improvement.

if you are going to play online obviously get it - if not dont bother

why do you have to use the chargers....

oh yeah because you have NO SKILL whats your level 1

So how do I report one if they are abusing their power.

Why would you want to be a mod? So you can use this pick up line....

in a geeky voice "Hey sexy want to come over my place..... you can watch me moderate the gamespot forums!"

Im sure someone can think of a worse one Id like to hear it

Im sure he has an iPhone so he can moderate on the go
