Don't waste money on that thing. Paying 80 bucks for 100 gigs. :P

Buy a core bundle, XCM hard drive adapter, and a 250 gig external drive. about the same price and a lot more memory. Plus the freedom of exploring, moving, and storing everything you download.

The 360 r0x but, they try to rape up on the accessories. The only accessory worth its price is the wireless headset. Hard drives are waaay to much.

As for the black case. Get a faceplate and some vinyl and make your own custom case. :) 

Maybe you shouldn't worry about it then. Beta's are for develoment not a preview. If you just going to get upset when you aren't playing a finished product don't bother. Unless you like Crackdown.
