Just got done playing some Rock Band 2 with Ben konador. Had a blast-- he was playing Expert Guitar and Singing-- dudes good-- Like I said was a blast!
Just had my XBox360 tank on me again. This time I get a message in about 10 languages and an error code E74, which means "Hardware fault". So, it's on its way back to Microsoft...again.
of course microsoft will tell you it's the hardwares' fault... just like when you have a problem with windows. the answer is - must be a hardware conflict - try removing any recently installed hardware and restarting windows...
it's never microsofts fault.
i bought a backup arcade 360 when my elite died. they didn't want the hard drive returned - so i just put that in the arcade for a couple weeks until i got the elite back.

I just got my xbox dashboard update early-- its freaking awesome--- netflix in HD is so fast now-- and so many more options-- netflix I say is the biggest update, wait until you see it--- wowowo
Whatever it was, MS took care of it pronto and I had my Xbox back in 9 days, including shipping both ways. No charge for anything, plus they gave me a free month of Live.

AS shitty as the hardware is with multiple failures MS has been really good with the customer service end with no hassle and prompt service, I gotta give them credit. Glad to see you up and running again, my buddy just had his 5th box crash and replaced.
There was a beta signup, I cant remember the exact address but if you watch the archives of the xbox 101 videos, its in one of those. Probably not worth it now, since its public the 11th..
As a Canadian, forgive me if I'm simply chalk full of bile for the lack of anything this update actually does.
The in-game achievement browser update saves me a lot of time checking what I need to do!
I don't remember any in-game achievement browser. How is it different from hitting the dashboard button and clicking on "achievements"?
That's what I mean...
You now get a grid and can look through the icons and see what you need for the achievement straight away. Before you had to scroll down the list and click on them 1 by 1 to check them, which was slow!
I'd be excited about the Games on Demand thing... if there was no such thing as ebay which is about 300% cheaper!
I also just got emailed my 160 points and XBLA game for winning 1vs100 as one of the 100. It's for Puzzle Quest - any good?

Puzzle Quest is a fantastic game, if you like RPGs and Bejeweled.
Another thing I love about that game is that me and my wife can patner up and play against others online. Uno doesnt allow you to include another party on the same console, Uno rush does.
