I need to get Forza, and re join up. I let my subscription lapse.

Winter time around here is great for XBOX and Football.

Speaking of football. Tomorrow night the NFL kicks off their season.

How's the XBOX look on the new flatscreen?? Who are you using for net access and cable tv? Comcast has a great HighDef cable box with tivo built right into it.

On the flat screen its sofa king awesome its tough to describe. Right now we have a 10 day free trial on cable TV. But from what I am hearing the families that moved in much earlier than us are still getting it free.

Right now I am on verizon DSL and wont have service to get on live for about another day. I will be switching to comcast cable shortly. They have a pretty good special going on right now.

Since the TV already supports anything HD all I had to do was get the HD XBOX specific cables (20.00) and then change the settings on the XBOX to accept everything all the way to 1080i resolution. VS. the old "27 inch TV that was a decade old and the new one......its like playing 2 totally different games. Not only that but now when I grab the sniper rifle in H2 the reticle isnt a millimeter in diameter, now its about "3/4 and its alot easier to get the head shots.

Wuss....

C'mon you've got until Dec. 11th to get ready. It's worth $50,000 if you win here, and another 50,000 if you win at the finals in Hawaii.

I don't... yet. I just bought one off a guy: console, 2 smaller controllers, one regular one wheel and pedals, DVD setup and 28 games... $275.

I also have a PS2, but that hasn't worked in a really long time... I need to send it in and tell them I'm getting an XBOX so they'll give me a new one.

I have a XBOX too, but I'm only into the action and racing games like burnout 3, midnight racing dub edition, Conkers and Halo type games. Looks great on the HD 65inch t.v and makes it easier to play tougher games since the screen is so big.
