Thanks for the link to replacementdocs.com in response to my email. I'm gonna check it out... at work. :)

Forgot to mention, if I recall correctly, MS uses SATA for the data connection. MUCH faster than USB. ;)

Also need to take into account the drive speed. I don't know if it's 5400 or 7200, but 7200 RPM drives are a bit more expensive.

MS's pricing is in line with high level high performance 120gb 2.5mm drives.

Maybe you guys should dig around to see exactly what type of drive it is.

Ok, who remembers the movie the little slow motion clip near the end is from? 80s flick, and it's bugging the hell out of me.

I use the streaming features allot. Right now I use Transcode360, which is a great program. Only caveats are you can't pause (well, you can, but when you unpause, it skips forward the amount of time it was paused), and you can't fast forward or rewind. It's really easy to use though. Select vid, press info, pick more, and select Transcode.

It is irritating, and downright stupid that MS opted against supporting divx/xvid, but it's good to see more work arounds showing up.

That guy is nuts. The original Xbox headset was uncomfortable. I certainly don't have a small head, and I find the current headset quite comfortable.

If he hates it, go buy a good headset with an inline mute and volume function. Hell, he can even hack another headset onto the new adapter.

IMO it is unacceptable to pay $60 for what is basically a reskinned, minorly updated FNR2 loaded with product placement and ads.

The animations are only slightly different, adding different styles, but the same graphical errors (twitching, unnatural movements, clipping) are out in force, and the blood effect is actually worse. There are issues with the controls, and after using them, the flash KO and Stun Punches are stupid.

The more I play FNR3, the more dissapointed I become, and the more product placement I hear, the more disgusted I become for paying $60. It's a shame, because it is a good game, and the franchise has tremendous potential, but it seems EA is more concerned about lining their pockets than producing a quality game.

umm... wow?
