I have had horribly bad luck with the consoles as well.

Console One: Purchased Fight Night Round 3 and a friend had headed over to play it with me and on the first punch it went out. It died right after the original warranty ran out before the extensions so I ended up paying $130 to get it repaired.I did get that money refunded though near 4 months later.

Console Two: This one I set up in a open area just to be double sure that it was not my setup. I used the console for a total of around 6 hours playtime. It was off and sat around until Gears of War came out. I put Gears into it and BAM, it dies as well.

Console Three: The third console, OUT OF THE BOX was making horrible grinding sounds, which was most likely a bad fan. I called support and was refused assistance. They told me they cannot help me for "noises". I tried to escalate it and get different reps, but they all refused assistance. I was told "when" it fails to call them back.

Console Four: The third console finally failed at the end of November this year. It started constantly locking up and red ringing. Called and got a replacement set up. They ASSURED me I would receive the special repair team and get a new motherboard and such and be set up with the elite support team so this problem would not occur again. I shipped the console back to them on December 19th or 20th, and they took care if it very quickly. I got my replacement console on the 26th, the day after Christmas. I set it up and was worried at first due to the xbox live issues but that was not a problem with the console. FOUR days later the thing started red ringing. I plugged in a Official USB charging cable and BAM it went down. It locked up on the XBM multiple times, as well as on Katamari Damacy, Eternal Sonata, and Halo 3.

I have set up a replacement for the fourth console and the box is sitting on my table at home as we speak. I was assured AGAIN that this should not have happened, that they will send it to the "Elite" team and I will get a new board and cooling. The guy told me it will be essentially an elite without the black case, larger hard drive, or HDMI cable. They compensated me a Webcam for my trouble. The third replacement they gave me a 1 month live membership.

Total shipping time on all the consoles has been almost 4, which I was never reimbursed with live time for. The first few returns went PAINFULLY slow.

So for those who have consoles working well, thats great. :)
But there are still serious issues, otherwise I would not be able to receive a console from their ELITE repair team and have it die days later. I only have one friend who has not had his console die on him, and he owns an Elite.

Master Chief. Even if you won, all of the people who feel loyal to him would take you out quicker then Chief's body hit the floor.

Fantastic contest. :)

So how many other people caught the Ultima sound effect used in this video ?

4:40 to 4:41 while the mechanical dog is attacking the tank, the sound effect is used. An exact replica. :)

The more copies of the game that sell, and the more popular it becomes, the greater the chances are that Uwe Boll will make a movie based on it.

You could be part of that greatness. Just imagine, Ashton Kutcher as Big Daddy and Paris Hilton as Little Sister. Do your part today, buy the game. The more copies the better.

The sound and entire mood set by it. :) Can not wait for the soundtrack.

Me and a friend headed to my local Gamestop in Clovis California, which was located in a Mall around 8:40AM. There were 11 people infront of us. The store had 36 units to give away, so we were set. They did not have to start turning away people till about 9:50, near opening.

I was able to notify another friend and a family member so they could both get consoles also.

About 10 miles away at another Gamestop, they had about 22 people waiting in line at 7AM, and that store was only getting 8 units.
