We should have a Rock Band Friday. I will take on vocal duties, so all we need are three others that want to commit.

If others feel like they want to do the same, it might help a bit.</p> <p><strong>Xbox 360:</strong><br /> -Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare<br /> -Grand Theft Auto IV<br /> -Call of Duty: World at War<br /> -Fable II (only 2 player co-op)<br /> -Gears of War 2<br /> -Left 4 Dead<br /> -Rock Band<br /> -Halo 3<br /> -Far Cry 2<br /> -Civilization: Revolution</p> <p><strong>PS3:</strong><br /> -LittleBigPlanet<br /> -Resistance 2<br /> -Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/179#post-651 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 21:22:35 +0000 Jordan Snyder 651@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>Have you already registered your console? If not, I think your warranty will be extended due to the RRoD controversy. My regular warranty was long gone, but the RRoD situation had extended for three years. Don't rule out a PS3 completely, though. I do enjoy my 360 more overall, but you're right, it still has a big library of great games. </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/179#post-650 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 20:59:10 +0000 Shane 650@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>Yeah thanks it doesn't hurt to try. </p> <p>There are a lot of games on the PS3 that I really want to try like Uncharted, LBP and Metal Gear etc...So If I can successfully get the 360 off for repairs, I will hit the PS3 world :)</p> <p>Of course you had to squeeze in a tidbit of PC in there LOL. See I once had a hot gaming rig with Steam but the PC's technology ran out of "steam" before I had the time to get 'er home! ;) </p> <p>I kid... </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/179#post-649 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 20:43:54 +0000 Joe 649@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>I would get a ticket from them anyways. They are normally good about fixing it, if it is even close to the warranty period. I would try talking to a supervisor in tech suppot and see if they can get it sorted out. I know a couple of people that had launch boxes that have gotten them fixed out of warranty. It just takes talking to the right persons.</p> <p>As for a PS3, it is not a bad idea. I would say it is easier to go from the PS3 to a 360, than the other way around. When you have a PS3 and go to a 360, you gain a lot in the way of online connectivity, where you lose more going from a 360 to PS3. The community is not an tight in the integration department as on the 360. Looking at the games, it will depend on what you are into. If all your favorites are multiplat, then you are good to go. </p> <p>You could always just invest in a solid gaming computer and buy games via Steam. Just throwing that out there. </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/179#post-648 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 20:00:06 +0000 Shane 648@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>Ok my 360 has finally bit the dust. I bought it almost 3 years ago so it's probably close to being a 1st generation box. I'm getting the flashing 3 red rings of deathly death and I'm pretty sure my warranty is long gone. </p> <p>I of course still have all my parts, hard drive, controllers, tons of games and a Gold live subscription. So I'm debating whether to get a cheap $200 arcade box just to have a new box or get a PS3 and find someone who could fix the 360 if it's even possible to get fixed? </p> <p>Has anyone out there sent their 360 to Microsoft to get fixed after their warranty was toast? </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/139/page/2#post-616 Wed, 31 Dec 2008 05:59:19 +0000 william745 616@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>would anyone be up for some counter strike source this friday? </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/171#post-607 Wed, 31 Dec 2008 03:37:38 +0000 lundy3311 607@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>Well, I have been using my keyboard and I guess I don't need a keypad.<br /> But I will be getting a headset hopefully.<br /> thank you for your input </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/171#post-595 Mon, 29 Dec 2008 04:45:17 +0000 Jordan Snyder 595@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <blockquote><p>I still get a good laugh out of the snap on keyboard they made for the 360.

We just finished our 2 and a half hour session (for me, it started at 10:00PM and ended around 12:30AM) of Gears of War 2's Horde Mode. Joe, Terry (if I remember/heard correctly), and some great kills and even greater deaths. I'm looking forward to our next encounter, and I would encourage others to join in. :) </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/139/page/2#post-570 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 20:46:32 +0000 Jordan Snyder 570@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>Okay, so that should be 10:00 PM for me. Got it. I should be at home then.</p> <p>Put Jordan down for some Gears 2. </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/139/page/2#post-569 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 19:52:02 +0000 Joe 569@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>Okay, this is official. Mark this date. This Friday night, we will have a gaming night. I am thinking that if Jordan wants to do Gears 2 that is fine. I can try to acquire a copy before then. Lets make it 7PM PST on Friday night.</p> <p>I am also looking to do a Left 4 Dead game night on Sunday, Dec. 28th, and we will start at 6PM. I need names that will register for either night. </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/139/page/2#post-566 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 16:41:10 +0000 Jordan Snyder 566@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>Damn...

I have no Rock Band 2 (traded it in, had no use for it after I transfered all the songs) and yes, I have L4D on the PC. I will never buy a Valve game on the 360. I do have Battlefield Bad Company on rental right now. Any takers on that action. I am down for Forza 2 or PGR4. </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/139/page/2#post-564 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 02:14:24 +0000 Jordan Snyder 564@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>I just bought Left 4 Dead on 360 today, anybody down with that?
