Ok, I just had my birthday and I was given a hundred dollars in Bestbuy dollars, which got me thinking; I now can get a HD DVD player for only a hundred dollars(of my own money)! But then Microsoft just lowered the prices of the wireless racing wheel and Bestbuy has them on sale for 109, which would really only cost me nine dollars. But then that got me thinking, I have a Nintendo Wii that I haven’t touched since Febuary, so if I went and I sold it along with the games and accessories I have for it, add the Bestbuy dollars, I would probably only have to cough up max 200, more then likely 100-150 though. And if I took that route I would have a high-def dvd player and another videogame console. So with all this going on, I’m not sure what I should do, and this is why I am posting this here, to see what you all think. So do me a favor and help me make my decision for me.

Gamers from all over now have the choice to choose their path to Lost Planet. You can choose to go through a casino in Las Vegas, or even the Las Vegas University while battling terrorist. Or you can trek your way through Mexico, where you’re the outsider and nobody wants you there. As the gamer, you have the option to choose how you get the copy of Lost Planet.

Please Choose either Rainbow Six: Vegas or Ghost Reacon Advance Warfighter 2. Which ever game has the majority of votes, will be the game the tournament is in. Once you have voted, please sign-up below by leaving your gamertag. Keep in mind that there maybe a chance your game is not the one the tournament is held in, so if you still want to play, please try to have a copy, or able to get a copy, of both.

The voting will go on for 2 weeks (June 11). At that point we will create the tournament and teams. Rules of the tournament and how it will work will be posted no later than Tuesday, May 29. I’m hoping for at least 48 players.

Thank you from all of us here at XBL Radio.

No seriously my booty is sore as hell after 3 hours plus of viewing
“As the Worlds End” turns.

I love Summer films. The Popcorn, the Block-Busters, the air conditioning…. However, lately I’ve never wanted to get out of the theater so bad. The latest installment of Gore Verbinski’s Disney-theme-park ride movie tie-in has left my treasure chest numb and I’m glad it’s over.

Johnny Depp returns with his Keith Richard’s imatation (this time actually bringing Keith along for support) as Jack Sparrow. The rest of the gang is there too. Where the past two films had thrill after thrill; this one places thrills in between a drama at sea sandwich. (and if thrill is the meat, your mouth is full of bread). It seems as if it took 30 minutes to get the movie back to interest level, and then another 30 to make you lose it.

I don’t want to spoil the film for XBL Radio listeners-I’ll leave that to the film-but I do want to warn you: If the game (which we will review soon) is anything like the movie; expect to be bored.

I will leave on one good note: The ending is amazing. It’s just the hours getting to it that made this movie a bad outing for my family and I.

I have read somewhere that Johnny Depp doesn’t watch his own work. Well thats 3 better hours, he has spent, in his life than mine!

In the beginning, Sony created both the Playstation 1 and 2 and they thought that it was good.

However, then MICROSOFT created the Xbox and Xbox Live. THE WORLD saw that it was AWESOME!

Since that time there’s been many transformations and even a …NEXT GENERATION REVOLUTION! Xbox Live have enlisted more people than even the “Great Wall of Wilt Chamberlein” has.

But with fame, comes a price. Constant struggle against the very people who have supported you. Defiant mutiny in the face of attempted growth.

YES…I’m talking about you reading this! You mock Xbox Live and justify your actions by spouting out your $50 defense. You ridicule the great minds that would bring you such joy and community driven passion. You protest and cry because you can’t get what you want!!!!

Today I say unto thee….you are right.

UPDATE: (6-1-2007) — My problem, stated in this artical, with Microsoft have been resolved. Due to having a contact with MS in our staff, my problem was able to get a little extra attention and it is much appreciated. However, I have to wonder if this problem would have been resolved (with the very generous outcome that it did) if we did not have a contact with MS.

Take the jump to read the original artical.
