my entire ipod, thats what ill be listening to
me me me me me
My system got bricked by GH2, but before the guitar controller patch. I downloaded a few of the song packs released last wednesday, started up GH, as soon as I started into a song the thing froze up. I powered it off and back on and sure enough three red lights. $140 bucks and no 360 for three weeks. Thanks red octane.
thats why macs rule; but when will hd-dvd software be out for it? and a mactheripper version?
apparently a similar thing has happened to the HD-DVD drive. Was supposed to be here this morning but didn't show. Has anyone be able to get it? Does anyone even want it?

btw I'm in miami and there are no Gears of War copies anywhere (BB, CC, EB, or GS) until tomorrow they say
Yeah its a great system, too bad it doesn't do jack because its stuck in an update/failure loop. Get your s*** together MS and quit ruining people's systems and then asking them to pay to have them shipped back to you so we can wait 2 weeks to get a refurb back that does the same thing, you morons.
The fix still does not solve the endless update/fail loop problem. So in reality, MS hasn't done anything. There is a lot of confusion all over blogs about what the problem is. Over on the xbox.com forums there is a 200+ post thread concerning people who simply cannot even download the update.

MS has refused to fix this problem and they are just passing everyone off with, "wait a few hours." The "bricking" issue is obviously a problem, but all of these other sites are missing the point: many people can't download and update their xboxes at all, thus cannot play games unless the harddrive is removed, thus cannot save games, not to mention that none of us can get online for all these new XBLA games that you guys keep reporting on.
I can't get the update to download and install, it says it downloads and then it just fails. There are several, if not hundreds, of people reporting this issue over on the xbox/support forums. Most of them are reporting this issue with NON-MODDED, launch time (last novemberish) systems with Hard drives. Apparently MS is "working" on it, however three calls to CS has left me with three different answers: "we are working on it," "connect directly to your modem," "try a different ISP" Clearly no one over there has a clue. If I have to return my system or be forced to spend 150 to get it repaired I may just have to go PS3!!! (wii already preordered)
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
