Doesn't matter anyway, after test driving a few different Xs and like 8 different STi's... I'm much happier to be in this car than a X.

And I'm not ever modding my 360, things too big of a piece of **** to waste money on anyway. Once the Elites go down in price here in the next month or so (if they still do like they were supposed to) then I might sell mine for dirt cheap and get an Elite so it will almost be as awesome as my PS3... almost. Then comes the pain that is transfering saved games/other downloaded files/etc to the new Xbox... Which.... Microsoft doesn't make too easy either.

Yes For REAL MAN. If I could get a X for 26-27k with 0% financing I would so do that right now and Trad in my 04 Evo 8. But the lowest I have seen is about 27k for a Brand new Evo but who knows what the Interest rate is going to be on that. Most used ones right now are about 26-29k with low mileage too. I would rather get a used one for cheap over a used one for the price or if I can get a good deal on trade in on my Evo to get into a X I would do it, But I don't see that happening anytime soon.

I'm hoping it clears up here, and especially Wyoming by Saturday. That could be a nightmare. As it is, I am supposed to get into Nebra with rain/snow mix on Saturday.

It's supposed to clear up here by Friday-ish... But then it drops back down and rains for early part of next week again. (But they're saying 50s instead of low 40s like it is now).

How old is your 360? If it is within 3 years of age MS will fix it under warranty, we got our second one back a few months ago from warranty repair.. It is about 2.5 years old. They are fixing RROD under warranty for extended period of time to try to save their butts (not that they need to... so many "idiots" are still Xbox worshipping that it forces those of us intelligent people to have an xbox and buy a few games on it just so we can play with friends... I may wind up buyin SFIV on the 360, as well as L4D. Once they go cheaper.) But I've seen/played RE5 on a 360 Pro and a 1st Gen PS3 both on hd tvs etc etc... The PS3's performance dominates/ed.

Actually my only complaint at all about my PS3 is how it seems to have slower network connections than my Xbox even though it has built in and the Xbox has the stupid microsoft wireless adapter... But that's probably just a wireless thing, and once I ever get ethernet straight in... then it should be different. But I can install freaking Linux, Leopard OS, or Windows on my PS3 and run them in a partition... And it freely accepts any 2.5" (laptop standard) size drive... So if I want my 60 gb to be 300... doesn't cost me a million dollars like it does to get the upgraded drive from microsoft (which is still only like 120 I think).... Someday I'm going to set up my PS3 to have all our movies and music on it... Once I get the money to buy a bigger hard drive for it (and maybe even a second usb one to attach). Speaking of that, how do I transfer stuff from one PS3 to another (say... going to a friend's house and want to show him my saved game...) All I do is plug in my portable hard drive, copy it straight from the PS3 menu and take it to his house... How do I do that on my 360? God if I know. Far as I can tell I have to buy the thing... from Microsoft

But oh my god, not paying to play online? That's ****ing earth shaking! And still the fools pay for Xbox Live Gold... Why? Same reason I do: Cuz their friends have it. All the while Wes and I are rocking zombies and stealing cars for free on PSN. So we lack a real decent ranking system (trophies are stupid!) and Microsoft will never let the PS team join up on the Windows Live! crap. But at least I can play all my old PS1 and PS2 games on my 3

Omg the arcade sticks make it so much more fun of a game... And they have two now! Having all the buttons right there laid out how they are supposed to be makes for doing ex moves and the ultra moves much easier. Hitting all three punches is a piece of cake Shinkuuuuu HAAADOKEN!

We're all playing in a tournament tomorrow at the U (well, I'm not, I'm not good enough, but they all are). Its a Gears of War, Halo, and SF4 tournament. Grand prize for each thing is a pair of 180 dollar headphones. Some people from out of state are even coming, it's gonna be sick!
