I would like to officially revoke my statements that I made about Crackdown sucking :)

That will be all.

Man...I keep thinking that there is more to the game then I have experienced...I might have to try it again.

Are you saying that because of Halo 3 Beta, or bc of the game itself?

I'm saying it because I beat the game over the weekend and played it constantly. It's just a game that you can't take too seriously, but it's a lot of fun.

Only complain I have is that it's too easy and it's too short.

I've already said too much, I'll go back to my cave :p

:thumbsup: I don't even care it it's an early copy, but free is better than $60. Plus my birthday is the week it's released. ;)

I'm going to use that PayPal deal where you get $15 off of $30 when you pay by using PayPal.

For the game itself. The demo so far has not inspired me.

God ain't that the truth. Where is SOTN, Alien Hominid, Castle Crashers, Worms..etc. Enough already with the early 80's trash. I'll mame those games if you don't mind.

Thinking about renting it through gamefly then choosing to keep it. got $15 gamefly dollar plus 5% off. will the halo 3 beta still work? is all that is required is a copy of the game?

I'm not sure if the rental copies get the Halo 3 beta invite.

That may be the downside. All retail copies definitely come with the Halo 3 beta invite and the Crackdown disc is required to play the beta.

Worms is in the final stages of certification. C:SOTN is supposed to come at the end of this month/early March. I've no idea about Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers.

I hope they are running out of retro games.

I put my reservation on Crackdown over the weekend. Wanted to make sure I didn't procrastinate and have problems/waste gas trying to find one with a Halo 3 beta invite. While I'm buying the game mainly to play Crackdown, the Halo 3 beta invite is a must-have. There's no way everyone else will be talking about it without me getting a chance to play it.

Has anybody that bought the Wireless Receiver had any luck getting it to work? I'm thinking it needs another driver or something, because it won't work with any of the games I've tried.

Mine worked fine in Lego Star Wars II. Haven't tried it in other games, though. However, I just checked the Game Controllers menu in Vista, and it doesn't even show. Maybe only certain games that are pre-programmed can be used? I really have no idea.

I thought that I read that pretty much every single copy of crackdown will have a halo 3 beta invite..

I was able to get the page and register. Then I had to sign up for the challenge and when I clicked "sign on" I get an error. Nice

I'll try again tomorrow morning. By then things should be smoothed out.

when is Guitar Hero II coming out? I thought I remember seeing somewhere that it was coming out on 3/1, but every pre-order site like ebgames and bestbuy now says 4/3 :confused:

I've read at a couple of different sites that made it sound like only the initial shipment of copies will contain the invite. Granted, that could be a million copies, and granted, I'll most likely not have any problems finding a copy if I didn't reserve, but I'm going to buy it anyway, so might as well be sure.
