I wouldn't have ever gotten an XBox if it wasn't for the recent price drop to $150 and the fact that Rally Sport Challenge 2 RULES!

So did Scott do his alignment, or did you all just play X-Box all day?

I changed the oil and bled the brakes. The F1 race replay actually took more time away from the alignment than the XBOX.

(BTW: Monaco was AWESOME! Best F1 race I've seen in years!)

Hahahah! That sucks, better get your money's worth out of it. I didn;t realize it was that expensive, they've gotta be making a killing off XBOX Live.

$50 for a year isn't that bad really. If you use the service for 5 hours a week, that comes out to like $.20 an hour. Seems worth it to me, although charging you for the magazine is pretty screwy.

Yeah, I'm not stressing it $50 for a year isn't too bad... playing RSC2 online is a blast, even if I only do it once a week or so.

I already have that game... what are the 7 others?

Also, what's the deal w/ the headset? Do they send you one?

BTW: I was on Live! last night from 11:30 to mignight (give or take). I tried to invite you to my game a few times, but it just said you were "idle".

I think you have to buy one, unless you bought the starter pack deal. They are $20-$30 IIRC.

So, lemme get this straight... their "free trial" gives me a 2 month trial period, then I get charged $50 for a year of service, and have to pay $25 for a headset.

Whereas the "starter kit" costs $65, and comes with a year of service and and a headset.

i.e. the "free trial" actually costs me $10.

so, who said Microsoft was evil?

also, did you get 2 months free + 1 year, or was it just 2 months free + the rest of a year contract BS?

either way, some shady marketing.

Good question.. I just assumed that I got 2 months to cancel w/o paying, but my account date started the day I signed up. So it's that BS.

I assumed I was getting a headset once I started paying, which made the deal useful.

Back from the dead! I'd rather resurrect old threads than start new ones...unless people decide that they don't want to read these...

But anway, anyone playing Battlefield 2* or PGR3 for the 360box?






*and if you have BF2 for the PC I envy you because it is WAY better that the 360boxes.

I had it bought for me, if that makes a difference. I think now that people have almost forgotten about their launch disaster they might consider getting one over the other alternatives.

As for the games... I think there are like 20 total, and only 3 or 4 are worth buying, a couple few worth renting. Just not much to choose from yet. Which is dumb because it's been out for a while.
