Oh yeah. Funny thing is, each nes was different. There were blowers, stackers, slammers, etc. But, that was cool. You had to work to play your game.

Ah, the old days ...

What I don't get is they spend a good number of years developing these machines but when they hit the market it still seems like the end product was rushed. They don't have enough units to meet demand, they always have bugs initially, etc.

Microcenter has the Xbox 360 for $100 off.

I am hoping that Tecmo Super Bowl is available for Nintendo Wii.

Best football game ever.

I used to love the old football game on the Atari 2600, now that is a classic!

The one with the blue and yellow teams?

I hated that dance and "cheering" with TDs, but that game IS a classic. The sounds when you threw a pass and when the pass was caught were wacky too.

I still have it and played it not too long ago. I remember running up scores higher than the scoreboard would count, so I'd have to keep track of the score in my head. I'd score about 200 pts a game!

LOL sometimes you had to do the blow, slam and stack. Those were the really tough games.

Ah yes. I call that The Triple Lindy ... used only in times of great desperation.

Alright im gonna send this in a different way totally but with the old game consoles they were given stress tests witha sledge hammer. PS2 broke first with 2 swings but the gamecube and XboX survived. Then the consoles were dropped 30 feet on concrete and only the Game Cube survived, but really just becuase it was a light piece of shit.

sometimes when u play madden too long it freezes and doesn't work. it's almost like my 360 gets tired of playing any one game!

When I talked to the CSR she told me that my console was made just before then end of the year and she new that some defective units were sent out around that time...but they still weren't going to fix it for free... If anyone is going to buy one of these, buy the protection plan where you buy it. I'd go buy a PS3 but I've already invested alot in equip and games for the 360...

Microsoft just retroactively extended the warranty on the Xbox 360 to 1 year. So, if you bought it in 2006, you are covered.

Anybody else hear the good news? XBOX is now honoring a full year warranty on the 360 and it is retroactive. If anyone paid to have their's fixed, MS will refund them. I know I was happy about this...
