There is no indication on the box or the paperwork in it that it was supposed to be sent to anyone else.

Are you sure that no where in the refurbed or replacement one that the refurb was a "loaner" unit? If not, keep it before they realize their mistake.

Nope, the original replacement included the note saying this is the replacement for your unit. Ironically the second one included the same note.

I may have to get 1 or 2 wireless controllers. I've dropped BOTH of my wireless controllers and they've BOTH landed directly on the left bumper button, and now it doesn't work properly.

I can't wait for crackdown. I have $5 down on WiiPlay (don't even have a wii... for my bro) and hopefully gamestop will let me transfer that towards crackdown.

I got a pre-recorded call tonight stating that my local EB was having a midnight release for Crackdown. If I was working 2nd shift yet, I'd actually head over there after work. But, that shift doesn't start till next week.

Live to be down tomorrow morning

On Tuesday February 20th from 0200-0500 PT Xbox Live will be offline for maintenance. As a result, the ?My Xbox? section of Xbox.com will be unavailable, and the Xbox forums will be in read only mode (you will not be able to post.) The remainder of Xbox.com will be available for your browsing pleasure.

Click this link to find out what time the maintenance will begin in your time zone

This is for maintenance only, there will be no new features that will appear on Xbox.com, your dashboard or Xbox Live when we return to service.

So, to recap: This is all for server maintenance only.

I don't know if it was mentioned in the other thread, but I just bought a 360 from a friend, and if you have one, you *need* to get Burnout Revenge. That's a great game.

Now if only the ice would melt so I could get up on the roof and run some CAT5E from the router down to the basement and get on Xbox Live...
