    Awesome, I know of Retail Access for things like this but the MS site is much better. :-) What other good retail sites like this are out there?

    Day After Tomorrow = 10/10

    Did anyone else notice whenever the guy looked at the GPS it was always the same screen -- not even a map! It was just that screen that lets you see what sattellites you have a lock on and the battery indicator. Uuuuggggh. The movie wasn't very good. Gas freezing in the fuel lines? Yeah...

    Got a Gamecube but one last question.

    Nintendo machines are built SOLID. I have heard stories of people leaving a GameBoy in the sandbox over winter and it still worked. Anyhow, maybe this video will answer your question on the GC: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/chronomega/cubegone.wmv
