Speaking of XBL does anyone know if XBL can support 2 communicators on 2 different controllers. If so, does anyone know where to get an extra headset or if MS will be selling extra headsets? Thanks!

IGN Gear has a review of the wireless controller and it appears it is great with the only negative that you cant use the XBL communicator with it.
If you just want audio capabilities for a buddy....you can rig up a splitter for another headset and mic. Not a difficult thing...but Radio Shack prices almost make it cheaper to just buy another Live Kit.Originally posted by: sxr7171

Sweet Price for those who don't have it yet....i picked it up last month with my xBox and have already received my $30 rebate .....but I really just wish that I could have bought the remote sensor by itself b/c I don't even need the RCA remote that comes with it.....I have a RCA television and I can use that remote with no programming...so anyone with a RCA DirecTV receiver, TV, or etc. can just hit DVD on their remote and control their xBoxOriginally posted by: labgeek

Yeah, I got my rebate today and I have to say that I am impressed with how fast MS mailed it. But if you bought yours less than 30 days ago - PM! You could end up getting a $15 discount on your Xbox!

sxr7171 - SWEET IDEA! I bought one on Thanksgiving weekend for my bro and I didn't even think of PM'ing (got it from Circuit City). Thanks
WTH? I just called Circuit City and they said they don't PM on "Instant Rebates" because its a Rebate? ... Thats messed up, instant rebates is just some stupid term they use when they put something on sale!

What's almost as killer is I have 16 games now and the average price is $21.50
Have 12 for the Gamecube at an average of $19.50
So I'm doing real well
Xbox Owned November
Thursday, December 19, 14:27 | Talon |
November, no matter what console videogame fans might own, was a huge month. With the release of amazing titles such as Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Splinter Cell and Metroid Prime, it was one that more than a few will remember. Today, Microsoft announced that it wasn?t just big on the game?s side of things, as Xbox enjoyed its finest month for hardware during November according to NPD. Partly fueled by the launch of Xbox Live, Xbox was able to outsell competitor GameCube for the seventh month in a row with the Xbox Holiday bundle (Xbox, Sega GT 2002 and Jet Set Radio Future) outselling GameCube and the Super Mario Sunshine bundle by 131 percent. Moreover, Microsoft reports that Xbox sold 34 percent more titles than GameCube since release, with titles such as Splinter Cell, a game with a quarter of a million units sold worldwide, leading the way.
The system comparison continued as Microsoft added that Xbox Live was able to sell 86 percent higher than the PlayStation 2 Network Adapters. This comes on top of sales of Xbox Live titles such as MechAssault, Tom Clancy?s Ghost Recon and Unreal Championship selling in excess of 300,00 units in North America during November. The aforementioned Xbox Live titles attached at over 80 percent to the Xbox Live Starter Kit.
Stepping away from North America, Microsoft reported a few noteworthy details on other regions of the world. For starters, Microsoft continues, Xbox is the second top selling console in Europe according to ChartTrack and GFK; with the system outselling GameCube by two to one. In Australia Microsoft reports that Xbox and PlayStation 2?s market gap is only 4 percent, with the Xbox market share doubling to 46 percent over the past eight weeks. In Asia Microsoft reported that the Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan went well; with over 5,000 people lined up during the system?s launch.
Lastly, in Mexico, Microsoft reported that the October launch went well. According to the report issued today, the system is the most widely available next-generation console in the country.

As usualy, BlockBuster has deals running but this week you can take $5.00 off per game. This works GREAT when you buy 2 get one FREE.
Total cost = $30.00 for 3 games (great condition and manuals).
My local Store had a TON of games left. YMMV
