1. Election was great! We were under attack from some shady amendments but we vanquished the interlopers... hope and prosperity restored.
2. 360... I am picking up on Monday at midnight... I already own Madden 06 and Project Gotham Racing for the system.

I need to buy an HDTV to play these things on... OK, I don't *need* one, but I really want one... do you have any expertise on these things?

I'm no expert on HDTV, but I do know some. Rainman has an HDTV - he might be of more help than myself. What are you unsure of, or what questions do you have about them?

glad to hear you restored the properity of ohio for a while longer at least. Man, you are all ready to go with the Xbox - already got 2 games. How does Mrs. Milkman feel about the new Box?

Mrs. Milk doesn't get a choice when it comes to the XBox 360... it is inevitable so she doesn't fight it.

My question about HDTV... how the hell do I find a 50"+ HDTV that I can actually afford?

woman robbed of xbox 360

Warnings tonight to all holiday shoppers. Authorities say it's the season of giving and taking... illegally!!! Patsy Springer stood in the cold all night to buy one of the hottest toys on the market. She bought the newly released x-box 360 at a Morrow "Best Buy". But a thief was watching. Police say he followed her home and robbed Springer at gunpoint of her son's Christmas present. Ms. Springer says she was sure the thief would have shot her if she had not given up the X-box. Police are encouraging shoppers to be aware of their surroundings at all times.

There is a bug where your screen can freeze if you're looking at others' gamercards while you're in a game... It's a Live problem that I'm sure they will fix soon... in the meantime, just don't look at gamercards if you haven't saved your game!

^^ I read a bunch of posts on other forums where people said it froze up while playing a game though. Just in the middle of playing and bam - frozen.

It's hard to really understand the scope of this issue since those who don't have problems you'll never hear from.

I read that the "Xbox 360 has to much power for being in such a small unit". Gets way to hot and causes it to freeze up. I heard about this because I know someone at customer service at WM and she said they had 3 or 4 Xbox 360 units returned the day after release. They were pissed because they waited in line for 12 hours and got a bad Xbox 360.
