A transfer cable...

It already works 'seamlessly' with transferring data from a xp to vista machine so it seems obvious that the spring dashboard update will allow support for this cable to be the only thing you need to move those old games onto the new box.

wouldn't you be streaming video around your house on N instead of wireless A?

Kokomo, IN and I work at Best Buy/Geek Squad

I work at Best Buy. We're price matching this.

Fixed spelling errors and yet this slipped through?

"They state that the TrueSkill system doesn't allow you to play ranked games against your friends due to the possibility of intentionally throwing a game to increase ...anther's... rank."

Will pick one up as soon as they become available. I don't know why more people don't play PGR or Forza anymore.

Pre-rendered commercials: See Halo Wars.

Halo Wars being outsourced? Do you really think the same game design for a RTS can take place within Bungie who's bread and butter is an entirely different genre? Ensemble has never put out a bad RTS and Halo Wars will be great. Sure they have major corporate backing but so did Gears of War. Microsoft is still in this business to make money but they also know the driving force behind making money is having companies make great games. With that corporate backing think of the extra R&D dollars that Bungie is getting in order to do everything they could possibly want to do with the franchise. More power to them.

Here's my concern. They back Bungie so much that they don't pay enough attention to [insert crazy video game title] start up company that's small and only has the money & time to put a small game on the arcade and only after 1.5 years of work can they even finish an absolute gem of a game (Small Arms).

Back the big guys but don't forget those startup companies that may be nothing more than a couple of high-school kids with a dream. In case you haven't noticed those kids know their games inside and out and are going to be the next Bungie or Epic.

Not when you consider the Best Buy ADH Plan. (Accidental Damage from Handling) Its a special plan for notebooks covering everything but submersion in water. Spend an extra $300 now on that new laptop and when the 3rd year rolls around smash the crap out of it so its beyond repair and your system will have to be replaced with whatever is new on the shelves. $300 for a new laptop isn't that bad if you ask me.
