  1. I dont think they make black wireless headsets... or at least i havent seen them here. just white and green ones

    I thought the same thing until my friend was on msn.com playing those stupid games that you get "real cash prizes" for and his wife has like 3600 points on there of which she could turn in 3100 for a black wireless headset:cheesy: I want black accessories so bad! When I saw that I was like dude hook me up you don't even have an xbox and he said how much is it worth to ya the jerk. lol.

     

    I'm guessing Microsoft is waiting to release the black accessories so that elite owners get impatient buy white accessories and then when they release them get the same people to buy the black accessories so they can make double money, since you know that will happen to some people who like to throw their money away.

  2. As for looking at tv's in store for comparison it doesn't really do much when you take into consideration it all depends on what settings each tv is on, what input is being used, how many times they have split the same feed to plug into all their tv's, etc. My friend had a tv he was complaining about and he made comments about mine being better blah blah blah and I came over and reconfigured his and now he is fine with his. Just play around with them almost all lcd/plasma/blah blah blah versions give awesome picture.
  3. its all good i'm pretty quick so I could tell you were messing with me (not that it wasn't obvious). I'm new at this rebate stuff since I normally avoid rebates. I started the online rebate thing the same day but I thought i still had to send stuff in is this incorrect?
  4. Does the "Premium" distinction indicate both the hard drive and high def? Does it indicate any other benefits or none of the above? (So much to learn and so little time.) Thanks.

    yes wireless controller. a actual hdmi port.

     

    I wouldn't touch the core or arcade system with a ten foot pole and I've owned 2 premium systems happily.

     

    Oh another note make sure that on xmas when your kid sets it up that he places it on a surface that is preferably hard (where air can go under the system, as in not on a table cloth since the cloth would block air flow) and well ventilated due to the fact that 360's are known for overheating. I never set mine in the upright position until I had a fan stand. A fan stand is definately a good purchase to throw in for piece of mind. If you get the ring of death (three red lights) shut off system asap and leave it alone for a couple of hours (until it cools) before messing with it. PM me for any questions I'll be able to help.

  5. The staples we went sucks!

     

    The store opens, everyone went to the ticket counters of their choice. Instead of first come, first serve, the staff basically made people beg for tickets -- They chose who gets the tickets. For example, they have 9 tickets of notebooks but only 1 of the first 9 persons in line got the ticket.

    You need to write a letter to corporate about that with a list of the managers name and the store location.

  6. I went to staples this year and picked up their samsung color laser printer for 99.99, a leather managers office chair for 49.99 (sitting in it), and a navigon 2100 w/ 3.5 in. screen for 99.99, good deals to say the least. The only thing I didn't like was the way they did the tickets. Its awesome that they allow until 10am for redemption of the tickets that were handed out, but I waited for an hour and a half to get the chair because they said the tickets were given out and it wasn't 10am yet, but it was a pretty hot item and the other 6 that they had were picked up all in about 2 seconds. In the end I asked where their display unit was and when I found it the ticket was sitting on it. I thought it was rediculous since I told the manager that the person either got the ticket and just left for good or decided that they didn't want it and threw the ticket away. I think that if they are going to be sticklers about holding off for redemptions then they need to have a person that is setup near the door to get back tickets that people decide they don't want to use, would have saved me almost 3 hours (the line took 2 hours after I had the item)
  7. I feel you on the line waiting dude. All though I would rather have had to deal with a 3 hour line wait than having 11 people line jump infront of me when we were there for like 3 hours longer than they were. The worst part was there were to teenage girls behind us that were waiting there for one of the laptops for their mom (the only item they needed) and all the guys that jumped in took all of them. I wanted to beat them down so bad but with a cop roaming I wasn't taking a chance.
