    I hated the original Xbox when it came out, but Halo was awesome, then when the 360 came out, I was very much back to the hating of the system again. I bought my ps3 6 months after release and love it, but each day I read more and more about the 360 and realize how much I am missing out. Not that the ps3 can't do what the 360 does, its that the 360 does things the ps3 doesn't do, just like the ps3 does things the 360 doesn't do. Playstation brand will always be my brand of choice, but i really want a 360 now

    "It is active members - you have to own an Xbox 360 and if you're not active in the last six months, we recycle the gamertag and we remove your account."


    I don't know about that...I've had an old gamertag (from a different account) I've wanted to go back to for years, but never did because it's still active despite me not logging into it since the XBox 1 days. If they really did "recycle" it I should be able to change my current gamertag to it...last time I checked I wasn't able to.

    Gamertags are definitely recycled after 6 months. I have some friends who changed to their prior Gamertag.

    Well that should mean 17 million people bought xbox live for 5 dollars and the majority payed at least 60 for people who bought thier adapters.As I'm typing this MS made 3 million more dollars.....

    @kwkwyjib0: The majority most definately did not pay 60 dollars for a wireless adaptor, you'd have to be really insnae to do that. Why pay such a premium on something that is official, get a much cheaper wireless reciever that works just as well? (I would never use wireless to play games online either...)


    Then again, I guess the majority of the world aren't really that intelligent, and some of them probably did waste the money on the official wireless adapater.

    17,000,000 active users is A LOT. And I agree on his point about the apples to oranges in comparing to PSN. It is definitely two far different scenarios. Though, as a gamer, they both rock (it's what we live for, it's what it's all about. I lead a sad life.)

    I'm just glad that the post said that they were Wii Knockoffs... for a second there I thought that someone melted down a Stormtrooper and made some sex toys and a cable modem.


    Which is fine... a lot of us Kotakuites who have been around for a while hate Stormtroopers.

    I just pre-ordered from a local Gamestop, and was told today is the last day to do so. I heard somewhere that only 3000 of these are being produced for the first set. This seems a bit unlikely, though, considering how many ebgames and gamestops were preselling (along with Amazon and others). I just hope they honor the preorder!

    Anyhow, do yourself a favor and upgrade the springs with Seimitsu LS-32 Spring(s). They are so much better than the Sandwa springs. Here's a video on replacing the springs (don't do the double-spring mod, it sucks unless you play standing up and have leverage).
