Yes Sir 
Anyone here got an XBox?
I am like 00vette/Jon, all my money goes into go fast stuff. With that said, I am into HD and Home Theater big time $$. I really want to get an X-Box set-up for the High Def games. Anyone have one for sale, I have lots of higher end electronics for trade. Some stuff was listed in other than car parts for sale on this site. Racing games is what I want to do. Also into HTPC, and have built my own, with many online games.

Well I just bought an XBOX today to get ready for the Madden Challange. I figure w/ the rainy season around the corner I'd need something to do anyways. This year the tournament is sponsored by XBOX, so practicing on my PS2 would be pretty much worthless.
On a side note: Nintendo Gamecubes suck that's why I gave it to my gf. She actually likes it. Go figure

Hopefully I can get that 1.6 60', I just want an 11.5 na.(for now) LS1 Tech Stories

I have the xBox connected with 5.1 sound and the 1080i resolution (some titles) - it's awesome. I have a panasonic plasma, no speakers - just the monitor, amazingly clean picture.

I have an XBOX and a handful of games. I am on live but don't get on enough to justify it. That and I don't know enough people to have fun on the damned thing.
Unpopular comment: I thought Forza sucked rocks so I sold it two days after I bought it. I liked the "cheeter" driving line but there was no real 'hook' for the game. It was just like Project Gotham only on a track. I just thought it was lame.
Star Wars (any), Halo (1 and 2) and NFSU (1 and 2) for me.

I might go with a G5X3 cam before spray (who knows). I got to come up with some cash first, but I got to pay off my credit cards right now. Long term goal is the 90/90 set up your getting, the DTE strut brace, Roller rockers, bigger injectors, spray, and a bigger cam! (not necessarily in that order though) I don't want a roll bar either, but I want to run 11.50's as well. Maybe I'll get 150shot of spray and only spray a 50shot or so to get me to the 11.50 mark. This winter for sure, I'm gonna put those headers in, and get the strut brace and get that in. I don't like the idea of launching hard without one!
Which injectors are you going w/? I'm thinking about ordering some 30# SVOs, they say at these rwhp ranges we should be maxing out our stock injectors. As for the headers, man your gonna love the sound plus you'll feel it pull better w/ your H/C setup. Your choking your car right now w/ o the headers. You should be in the 11's easily w/ some practice, low 11's w/ a 50 shot. For now, I'm staying NA, but I can never make up my mind.
We'll see... 
FYI, I signed up a few years ago for a microsoft playtest study participant and they have been calling me on a regular basis ever since. Can sign up on the interent at Microsoft Playtest Study and they call you and ask if you ever played certain games, if you qualify, you go to Redmond on a day they have the test going, play a xbox game for about a hour, give your opinions during the playing of the game and they give you a choice of Microsoft software or xbox game for free. Takes at most a hour and 1/2, then you get a drink out of the refridgerator they have when leaving and your done. Not sure if they still do, but I used to get the word program, full retail boxed and then sell it on half.com. I made the first year doing it, enough to pay for a trip to Europe and sold the software in a matter of days for 1/2 the price listed(at the time was almost $400), so I brought in $200. My wife used to do it too and we went together sometimes and was given 2 to pick from, so would make $400 a trip. That is when we lived in Tacoma, now being we live in Gig Harbor is a little bit more of a pain in the butt, so I haven't went in about 9 months. One time we went to a special 2 hour playtest and each of us was given 2 pieces of software to choose from. The windows XP I use now came from the playtest study. If you live close to Redmond or don't mind the drive it is a pretty good deal and can play unreleased games.

I have PS2 and XBox but I refuse to get "Live" as PS2 online is FREE and I don't play either of them enough to justify PAYING to play online once in a blue moon.......that being said, I luv my games.

XBOX, need the router. There is a shop in downtown Seattle that sells all the stations and games for a quarter of full asking - they are supposedly 'used' and come with a one year warranty. What they are is spoiled kids who's parents buy them and they wanted something else instead so its cheap because most XBOX have a "no return/exchange" policy.
In manufacture packaging:
XBOX
All cables
4 new S controllers
3 games
$127.37
The router is only $22, we still need to pick that up for Halo & Ghost Recon, the most often played round here.

But I don't want the shaking, so I might end up w/ an F12(230/230 .595 .595) or 13 (230/232 .595 .585), if I can't get there w/ my 224/228 .581 .588 cam. It's cheaper doing a cam rather than changing out my 3.15s for 3.42s or 3.73s, price wise and mpg wise.

I told him that I ran into other issues and had to use my header fund to fix them! He understood after that. As far as the cam goes, I got a 228/228 with .571 lift and 112lobe sep, but I want more power and I love that deep loping idle.......I just got to come up with the funds. I've droped so much money on this damn cars already, its sick.
