    anyway to figure out what email address a gamertag was registered with?

    You should be able to call MS Support and do it over the phone instead of going through the website to do it.

    Band Hero demo up on Live

    Hah, just a testament to how stupid and confusing it all is... especially if you consider the counts don't include Rocks the 80's, Aerosmith, Metallica and now Van Halen. The franchise is dead, AFAIC.

    Band Hero demo up on Live

    Crappy songs aside... this game is not good. In an attempt to minimize the amount of things on screen, they reduced the usefulness of it all in favor of making characters more prominent... that's great, but I can't watch while I'm playing the game, so essentially you're making it harder for the...

    Band Hero demo up on Live

    Actually, Guitar Hero 5 just game out in September. Band Hero is sort of a re-boot of the franchise... I guess they finally realized that when drums and singing are added in, it's not exactly just "Guitar" hero.

    Dev video shows off map building and split-screen co-op for Lego Indy Jones 2

    I didn't watch the last minute or so, but this is only really worth it to me if I can download other people's levels. Otherwise it just seems like a big time waster.

    GameStop Director dumps $60 million in GameStop stock

    Insider trading is most easily described as making stock moves based on information that is not available to the public. Examples: - You have stock in your company and you sell it before an earnings report showing bad results is made public - Your company is in talks to buyout another...

    This is why I love Gamestop

    Fourth'd. I've become a hoarder since a couple years into the n64 days and haven't looked back. The only exception was intentionally buying games to trade in from other sales (IE, the Hollywood Video $4.99 sale) I always offer my friends $1 more than GS is offering, plus the ability to...

    Do you remember the first console purchase you had a say-so in?

    Months of allowance and delivering newspapers and my brother and I were able to buy the original NES... then a few years later we did the same for an SNES. From there, it was mowing lawns for an N64... Playstation for my birthday, then flipping burgers and working retail for last gen...

    Trying to build credit

    If you can't get a regular card, you could try getting a gas station card. After using it for a little while you may be able to upgrade to one with a little bit higher credit limit that also acts as a Visa/Mastercard... the APR will be god awful if you're paying it off in full when you get the...

    Console Releases for week of 10/11

    PONY BEAUTY PAGENT???? FUCK YES! I cannot wait. I just hope they don't screw over the people who buy the original by including lots of special features in the GOTY edition next spring.

    360 question

    I think you actually order a disc from MS with the update on it, as well. I dunno if this was only when it first came out or if they still do it, though.

    Anyone purchase a gameinformer subscription via gamestop?

    I bought an edge card once because I was going to recoup the costs with my purchase that day. I asked to not receive their magazine because it's too big for my mailbox and I throw it right in the trash anyway. Assholes sent it regardless. I won't buy an edge card ever again for that reason.

    GH5 star power...

    The only way to be certain it's not just the guitar is to borrow a friend's guitar or something and test it out. Does it happen IMMEDIATELY when you get enough star power to activate, or does it happen semi randomly? Maybe you're just mashing the shit out of the guitar too much on expert...

    Super Street Fighter IV Official Thread

    While I don't give a crap because I played SFIV for all of a few days and thought it was too fucking hard to enjoy... I totally have to point out a few things here. Back in the days of cartridges you couldn't do an update for it. You didn't have to worry about what copy your friends had...

    Gears of War 2- Awesome!

    I love the GoW series and I can't wait to see what they have in store for us in the next installment. I think Gears 2 was definitely a big step forward. That said, I think there are parts where they tried too hard. I love the rift worm stage but it's a bit over-the-top. The driving sequences...

    Halo 1-2 single player still worth playing?

    Truthfully speaking then... you played through most of it all. Because the second half is just going through most of it backwards. IIRC, the next stage is a rescue from a Covenant ship as sort of the middle where you turn around and go backwards.

    If you can manually forward something to your Wii, then the problem likely isn't with the Wii and should be addressed as an issue with Google Voice.

    What are you playing this weekend? (9/25)

    I picked up Terminator: Salvation from Target clearance for ~$10. I played a little bit of it tonight... and I regret spending $10 on it. When it first came out and I heard that the game can be completed in as little as 3 hours, I was already hesitant but said (and this is a near quote) "Meh...

    what is more complicated to play

    Madden is much harder to play because it requires that you know the sport in order to enjoy playing. It's not very friendly to new players. Having only recently started enjoying football, I still can't stand Madden. I look at the various plays and think "Oh, this one has some neat squiggles"...

    If Halo ODST was by a different developer, no Halo in the name, would it have recieved such good scores?

    What if I really liked the SP in 1 & 2, but thought that the SP in 3 was just an over-hyped re-hash of the first two but with new vehicles?

    Best career mode in a console racer

    any particular type of racing? as in, are you looking for pro stuff only, or would a street racing game interest you?

    I kinda want this game....

    Wow... it looks like they literally just took the images out of the book and made a cursor so you could point to Waldo. At $30 I'd hope there's more to it. Even if it is geared towards children.

    Xbox 360 250GB Confirmed

    Probably. Flooding the market with all sorts of bundles is a total pain in the ass for retailers. It was pretty much on its way out at the time, but having a ridiculous amount of bundles is one of the things that killed of the N64 quite abruptly, IMHO.

    NL Game Clain Refuses to Stock PSP Go!

    Seems perfectly acceptable for this retailer to me. Eliminating the UMD also means they can't buy/sell used games, which is a service that made Gamestop such a behemoth of a retailer because they (and the stores they've absorbed over the years) are the only ones that did it.

    Xbox 360 250GB Confirmed

    Yeah, pretty sure the 120GB being exclusive to the elite lasted all of a month, and the fact that it would be sold separately was leaked before the elite actually launched.

    Toys R Us Game Trade-In Program Rolling Out Nationwide

    or rather that it's more likely you won't want to walk out with the games you walked in with. If you gotta drive all the way there to show them you have the games then have them look up prices, at that point most people won't tell them "no." Aside from that, there are other reasons, such...

    DLC and feeling ripped off

    Yup. The folks at Harmonix should be giving away hundreds (maybe even thousands) of dollars in DLC because people ALREADY bought the game... the 700+ extra songs would easily make people more loyal instead of nickle and diming them. But in reality... you answered your own question here...

    Xbox 360 Custom Cases

    That's the important warranty. Don't use a custom case until that's up. That's the only warning I can really give you. Aside from that, putting a window & lights in computers/consoles/etc was cool in 2003 before people started selling the shit mainstream. It'd be like if a Honda civic...

    Beatles Rock Band coming 9/9/09 with special Beatles instruments

    I bet the cut that The Beatles receive is pretty significant, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it's not as big as people expected. Paul has stated time and time again that he just wants people everywhere to enjoy the music and putting it in a game form doesn't really steal profits...

    Beatles Rock Band coming 9/9/09 with special Beatles instruments

    It varies. Some of it is pretty tricky, but nothing like the hardest songs on RB2. It's a bit more mellowed out but still challenging.
