Wow, that must be a pretty sturdy gift card. I didn't think you could even fit a controller on a gift card, let alone that and a game! I think I'll try to pick stuff up with cards now. I have thought about getting PDZ as well, but people who have it are at the ends of the spectrum. At one end, some just rave about it. At the other end, people just complain about it. I'd be more apt to get it if there were at least some people who were in the middle on the game. From what I've heard, there's only one map for the multiplayer. You have to be extremely accurate to kill other players - one guy said he emptied an entire clip into someone who was just standing there and they didn't die. He also said that if you have/had the N64 version, you're not missing anything in the 360 version. And to be honest, I don't see many titles coming out that I want to pick up. I'd like to get Madden, but I'm hearing it's not all that great (only NFL title available on any system any more). Tiger Woods only has 6 courses. I'm not a hockey player. I've never played an NBA game (save NBA Jam) that was ever any fun. Battlefield 2: Modern Combat sounds like it'll be pretty good, but I'm a little ancy because the X1 version was rated poorly. Gears of War is supposed to be a Halo Killer, but it doesn't street until July. Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, Splinter Cell Double Agent, and B2:MC all street in March, and they have a good history (well the Clancy games anyway). And Halo 3 is rumored to be out in October. Anything you guys are looking to get?

I went into Target today and they had about seven 360's. By the time I was done browsing there were only 3 left. Bet they started off with more than seven this morning.

Someone was talking about it on the Xbox forums (I think) and said the MS VGA adapter was really weak in comparison to the x2vga adapter that was available for the original xbox. You may want to try some 3rd party stuff when they become available.

well my monitor has awesome color with the dvi (digital)connection.the ms vga adapter is analog but in the xbox dashboard it says select hd mode up to 1280x1024 on my monitor so I am getting hd resolution.The colors were washed out(very) and nothing I could do would fix the picture at all.Played cod2 and it was colorless and fps were real bad at 1280x1024.tried other resolutions same thing.I think that the ms vga adapter was geard towards people with crt monitors really.
