im ranked 12 in the world in nba 2006
the leaderboards are reset monthly, and no one plays 2006 anymore :p

Furthermore, why the hell would you get nba 2006, which is the worst basketball game in gaming history (if you don't count nba live 07). If you want a good basketball game, get nba 2k7. It's fantastic.

Oh and i can't believe you didn't mention mass effect. you will love it. similar gameplay to kotor, but a lot more action packed. download a gameplay trailer and drool. the graphics are just....wow!

that was the crappiest quote ever. here's what was really said:

Rein told TeamXbox that Epic would "eventually" bring Gears to PC. "I just don't know when," he said. "The big challenge is to make a game that was designed solely for the console…to take advantage of every last little corner of that console, to fill every little crack and run as many threads as we could and do as much to exploit the power of that machine, and make it run well on enough PCs to be worth releasing."

"It's inevitable," Rein said, "but it's just not there today."

Yeah I know, just having a bit of a larf. 360's first real killer app claims to be 360 exclusive, but it's now getting released on the PC. Same kind of deal that happened with the xbox.

getting released "eventually" "don't know when"

perhaps it will happen in two years like Halo was. By that time owning a 360 will more than justify itself. Console exclusivity deals seem to cover a year max, for a game. 2 years is more than enough. By that stage Gears of War 2 will likely be out on the system and everyone would have forgotten about GoW1.

My 360 broke today :( Luckily MS Support agreed to repair it for free even though:
i) The warranty has run out
ii) The consoles was born overseas and is an NTSC-U/C (not compatible with Oz) version
iii) I am a gay.

I played worms - great fun.

It seems to be a hardware error (seems to be a GPU problem, as initially my 'next-gen' games started freezing up but the regular dashboard and arcade games loaded fine).

The overall turnaround-time for their repairs is about 2 weeks:
Sent it today (Wednesday)
They will receive it tomorrow
They'll start work on it Next week
Will send it back around Thursday/Friday
Should get it the week after.

In my experience... MS is pretty good with honouring their warranty in a timely manner. For me they sent me a prepaid box with everything I need to send my (original) Xbox in and get it fixed.

That's definitely a contributor to me buying the 360.

Sony on the other hand seem to try and claim it's not their problem whenever something went wrong with my Sony products... which has definitely made me not want to buy Sony products unless there's no other choice (eg. PS3 for Gran Turismo).
