You obviously failed 3rd grade math, and have the critical thinking skills
to match.

Ever hear the saying 'if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is'?

Did you hear they removed the word 'gullible' from the dictionary?

Even if these websites were serious about handing out free prizes, AND
everyone who signed up used a referal code, the FACT remains that the vast
majority of these suckers WILL NEVER GET ANYTHING. These sites are
nothing but barely legal pyramid scams designed to get suckers like you to
sign over all your personal contact information so they can sell it to
junk mailers, spammers and telemarketers who pay $0.10-0.25 per name.

Also, if you bothered to read the terms of use of the site, you would have
noticed that 1: they don't allow spamming. You spammed. Bye-bye
account. 2: they don't actually guarantee you anything. In fact, if they
want, they can delete your account/credits at any time - for any reason -
and they never have to tell you. "Oh, you got 10 suckers signed up under
you? Hmm... Nope, I can't find your account anymore. I'm sorry, but you'll
have to start over."

Finally, and I'm being serious here, why should anyone sign up under you
for these programs? In fact, why did you sign up under someone? Did you
somehow benefit from it? I can go to any of those websites and open an
account without a referral code. What's in it for me to use yours?

When you get that answer, you'll suddenly figure out why these programs
don't work.

Heres the deal http://www.360Elite4free.com/index.php?ref=4279609 this
is a hacked refferal code that when activated gives you unlimited
refferal code. Do exactly as I explain 1.Use this link and only this
link 2. Sign up but when it comes down to where it says postal code
type 64392, u can change this later to get your stuff mailed to you,
this is the second part to make the hack work, and last but not least
sign up for the free trial from stamps.com (only stamps.com) otherwise
it wont work, and dont worry you can cancel at anytime+youget 5.00
free stamps, after that go to your progress page and you will have
unlimited refferals.

That's not an excuse. Both the PS1 and PS2 came out after other consoles
had debuted. In fact, the Dreamcast had been on the market for a solid
year before the PS2 arrived. That didn't stop the PS2 from quickly
crushing the Dreamcast, and becoming the top console last generation. On
top of that, the Dreamcast was cheaper when the PS2 came out, and the PS2
STILL did great.

Unreal is one of the best shooters ever made but there is no definitive
launch date.
Which would I rather have between COD4 and UT3? COD4. Both looks visually
stunning but I prefer realism over futuristic.

I have little to no interest in Haze. If it's any good at all I will be
suprised. So far I haven't seen or read a thing about the game that is of
interest to me.

So than that should matter to me why exactly?

Is there any reason why it wouldn't work with the DoA4 arcade stick,
like an awkward button layout for example?

No. The DOA stick should work with *any* game, especially VF5.

The DOA stick is now called the EX2 or somethng like that. There's
also a VF5 stick, too.

Yes, and it's just shy of £50 wherever I look.

That's not quite correct. LOT #734 or higher is when they started
showing up, but you can still get the old ones in those Lots as well.
I would suggest getting at least LOT #738 or higher to be closer to
100% sure. Even then it's still a gamble, and will continue to be
until the old stock runs out.

Also make sure the console was put together by Team FDOU and not
someone else. None of the others will have the Falcons in them, no
matter what Lot # it may be. This is the reason none of the 360
"Arcade" console versions have the Falcons in them right now, because
they weren't done by Team FDOU. It varies with the Premiums and
Elites, so you just have to check the sticker on the box to see which
Team it came from. They list it right next to the Lot # on the sticker.

The Arcade's won't have the new chip, at least not for a while. Only
Elites and Premiums made by Team: FDOU. Lot #734 or higher for a
chance at one, Lot #738 or higher to pretty much guarantee yourself
one.

I doubt there's any performance gains, but the one I bought last week
seems to run quieter, and it came with the newer BenQ DVD-Drive as
well. (Which is something I was pretty concerned about since the DVD-
Drive on my first 360 died a few weeks after the Warranty expired for
it. The BenQ Drives are supposed to be more reliable, so I'll see how
long this one lasts.)

Gears of War sporadically routes the Game Channel chatter through the
speakers and the headset, in spite of my Personal Settings, which are
set to "Headset only." I can find no relevant settings in Gears of War
itself, and the head set is otherwise working fine.

Any ideas as to what's going on, and more importantly, how to fix it?
