Default Finally got my 360

I'm sooooooo happy. I left whitcombs party decided to call the 24 hour walmart in nashua. They had it and I went and got it. By the time I got there no more premiums so I got a core and hard drive. I know i'm an idiot but I couldn't wait anymore.

I didn't get any games for it. Perfect Dark Zero looks good but I heard the multiplayer is crap. I play halo2 mainly on live. My GT is BUDMAN24

I just bought the premium on ebay last night, I also bought call of duty 2 and Need4speed. I'm having them shipped priority... Hopefully I'll have it by the middle of the week

I always play Call of Duty at the stores cause I don't have the system It's a fun game. I was asking around stores last night while I was at the mall and they all said they had no idea when more shipments were coming in.

My husband just got his too. The Walmart here had 24 (12 premium, 12 core) that they starting selling at 6am when they opened. He was there waiting since about 12:45am. Got his premium system. Looks like it might be a faulty one though. If you hook in the HD cables and set the switch on it to HD, no picture. If you flip the switch to regular av, but have it in the HD ports, you get a picture but it won't stop flipping. Having it in the regular ports, you get no picture no matter what the cables are set to. Tried another set of HD cables, same thing. He's giving Microsoft a call right now...we know the HD on the tv works, we had the regular Xbox in there before. Needless to say he's slightly annoyed right now...but at least he's got one.

As far as games, he picked up Perfect Dark Zero...he'll be getting Madden 06 on Friday...and at some point I'll probably grab Quake 4.

I was going to get call of duty because I play that game all the time in the stores. They had a lot of them when I didn't have one....now that I have one I can't find it anywhere. Oh well i'll settle for halo 2.

I haven't come across one yet. You must have gone to the Walmart in Amherst? I was going to head over there and see if they had any in stock. But, I guess you answered my question.

My neighbor was just over here, and we beat that call of duty 2 game. Pretty fun game, but I'm hoping for more in the next few months. I've always hated Activision games.

I'd like to try PGR3, and that Condemned Criminals game.

I just ordered my second round of games....

Madden NFL 06
Perfect Dark Zero
Condemned: Criminal Origins
Quake 4

I'm terrible when it comes to these games, at times I'm still a 12 year old at heart. I buy all of the good games and sometimes never even play them. I have like 60 reg. xbox games and I've prob never even played 20 of them.
