yes please, open chat Bungie - THANK YOU!!!!

I'll be waiting for Dirt, which IMHO blows away Forza. I was also in the Shadowrun Beta and while interesting, it didn't have that certain something that Halo and Gears possess.

knick knack paddywhack, give a dawg a bone...
this ol' man needs a beta code to pwn! :)

Sorry, nothing will salvage the Zune at this point.

This is painful to do, as I am certainly a fanboy, but I too believe MS needs to fess up. Four other friends and myself all purchased 360's in November of 2006. All was fine, and we have had a TON of fun over the past several months in GoW, R6, and more, but as of last week, four of us have sent in our boxes to McAllen for repair/replacement, and the fifth in currently beginning to experience problems. That's a 100% failure rate for us. We are all heavy users, probably averaging 15-20 hrs/wk of gaming, and 3 of us have had the DVD drives go bad, while the other two got the red lights of death. That being said, MS customer service has been excellent and everyone has had a turnaround time of about a week to receive a new box so far. One of the fellas in our group is getting his new/refurb unit tomorrow and mine is set for the end of this week. MS pays for shipping UPS 3-day Select both ways and is very helpful on the phone, and is delivering the units in about half the time they quote you, 1 week instead of 2. While i hate to say anything bad about the 360, as I think it kicks PS3 booty bigtime, I do feel MS needs to come clean and there is no question that they know the exact failure rate and are keeping it on the DL, IMHO.
