I now have a Xbox live account! It's "GraveDigger934" it was my nickname many years ago. (don't ask how I got it ) If you send me a friend request, please tell me, in some way, who it's from. Like on GameSpot, I don't add completely random people to my friends list. However, I will be more lienent since I'm a 360 noob

How the hell does the marketplace work? I was able to set up my xbox live account by myself! but I have no idea how it all works, or how to do anything.

It's 12:00 AM now, I'm going to bed

I'm only a year late but I got a Xbox 360. I got it the other day but haven't gotten the chance to use it a lot yet, since I've been busy.

I need to know which games are worth buying, and which ones I should just rent. (I recently started up my gamefly account again)

I've been very busy studying for tests, and writing reports. I even had a very long test this morning (yes, on a Saturday ) This means that I'm very behind on the things I do on GameSpot.

Another reason why I haven't been active because I got really fed up when I couldn't connect, again, to a GameSpot tournament. It seems to be my computer, but it's not that bad. I've done a fresh re-install of most of the programs on my computer, and I don't use kazza or anything that puts crap on my computer. But since everyone else was able to connect, so it must be my computer Kevin was nice and re-sceduled the time for me, but not enough people showd up, so we couldn't play. And I could connect then!

I'm ordering this today! But before I complete the order, I want to know if there are any other accessories or add-ons that I should get. For example, is this worth getting?

Thanks for your help. Hopefully I'll be able to see you on xbox live next week

UPDATE: I've ordered it!

I have another GameSpot account. But I only use it's blog as a place for my officers of the Age of Empires Union to discuss things privately.

I was going to check to see if there were any new replies to the latest entry when I noticed that I saw a banned page. I refreshed thinking that it was some weird cache issue. I still kept on getting the banned page. Not knowing what was going on, I logged into that account and noticed that I couldn't post at all. I also checked the moderation history, but it was clean. I was thinking that it was just a bug, but I hadn't heard of it before. I was about to just go back to posting on this account, but then I realized that I was technically ban dodging.

I needed to contact a moderator quickly, but I couldn't post in the "Ask the mods" forum. I didn't know which mod was online gamespot at the moment. I just went to a random mod's profile, and noticed that their AIM account was listed. I immediately logged on to see if he was online; and he was. I told him what happened, and he checked, and confirmed for me that it was just a bug. That mod was JustPlainLucas. (thanks again!)

People have been in worse situations, but I just thought I should say that I recommend knowing at least a few mod's instant messaging accounts.

ADDITION: All of the mods have been very helpfull. In fact, DrFish62 had helped me with something a few days before this happened. He just wasn't online when this important issue came up

On a side note, I just want to say that my friend, Matthew, wants to start a Zelda site. He's a good designer, and actually runs a few other sites, so I know that this one will be a success. He needs help though, so if you are a zelda fan, then I think that you should help out

I don't have a lot of money, so I was looking around trying to find a good deal on one. I found this


I have no idea if the core system is good or not. Everything on ebgames seems really expensive, but that's probably the same price for the 360 in stores
