Halo: CE Anniversary has gone gold. Anybody else getting this game?

[Swarley]

Got to be some MP gaming going on tonight. Anyone up for some Gears 3, UC3, R3, Killzone 3, Halo, something?

Or you could buy a new copy of NCAA (it's also on sale) and trade in your busted copy to Best Buy towards Battlefield or something else. They won't notice the crack and you'll probably get a decent amount for it with the 50% bonus. Plus you could sell the Online Pass on eBay for $5, since you won't need it.

The Gamestop option is much easier though.

I used to rent the game at blockbuster and return it the next day and say it was scratched and I wanted a new game and they'd give me a free rental and a new copy of the game.

You could probably red box it or some shit...

I don't think any Red Box has NCAA, at least none that I've seen. I always wondered about that though. What happens if you return a game or movie damaged? The only way they would know is if the next person reported it as so, but is there a system in place for that? I don't know because I've never used Red Box. And even then, who's to say that person didn't damage the disc and is trying to get over?

[Swarley]

That would be a good idea, but yeah, the Red Box's around here only have brand new stuff.

So yeah, that L4D DLC was pretty redonk at the end lol.

blockbuster finally got wise to the scratched disc thing. they started checking the disc before giving it to you to make sure it was ok.

i think we still have 1 blockbuster around here. we used to have 6 in a 15 minute area. now we are down to 1

Does anyone else have to turn the volume on their TV way up when watching a blu-ray on your PS3? It's weird because for games the volume is always really loud on lower settings but for movies I have to jack it up to like 60.

Does anyone know how to link Xbox Live gamertag and EA.com account?

I'm trying to link my gamertag which has a different email than my ea.com account and I don't remember the password to the email my gamertag is under. Looks like I need to make another gamestag for EA games lol?

Definitely. I don't watch blu rays very often at all but I do remember having to crank up the volume all the way up when trying to watch in the past.

It seems to vary from movie to movie for me. Some are fine, some are too soft, and occasionally too loud.

However, you can change the PS3's volume by pressing the triangle button when the movie starts and adjusting the volume setting. That should help a little if you haven't already.

You definitely don't need to create another gamertag/PSN I.D. Try and reset the password on that email account.

I'll have to try that, I was thinking about getting some speakers for my TV but I'll hold off on that for now.

Ahhhh 3 red rings...thanks for ruining Batman week for me.

Quick question, is there an easy way to transfer a 120 GB Old HD to the 4GB New 360? I've read that external hard drives will connect to these (I think?), so if so I guess I'm wondering if I could transfer straight to the external HD through the 360? Trying to think of ways to not have to struggle through some arduous transfer process. I also don't really want to buy a 250 gig for 299.99.
