Many things! A few however are..

..Dead Space is a loser. Absolutely horrid story to the game and not much fun to replay. However if that doesn't bother you.. great game!
..GOW2 has to be one of the biggest let downs since Halo 3. Everyday I hear people bitch about online play, the campaign is too short, the gameplay is so repetitive, bleh bleh bleh. After playing it awhile, it's an alright game, nothing impressive, nothing really making me not want to play it either.
..Fallout 3 by far owns in many areas. The only flaw I found was once you complete the main quest of the game, you are dunzo, game over, you cannot keep playing. And that is a really really lame thing too.
..Prince of Persia... roffle la mayo n cheez. Boring, and people keep trying to get a refund hahahahaha NOSOUP4U.
..the new Halo games coming out are going to be huge. Upon speaking to a Microsoft gaming rep, he spoke of how Halo 3: Recon in his opinion is a makeup game for how Halo 3 itself. He told me there is no set directional path like the other Halo games, and that you have to pick your fight wisely as you are just a ODST and nothing more. He said Halo Wars and Recon next summer can be purchased in a box set, or the entire Halo series in a collector's edition. (but who cares really just don't fuck up the game this time eh)

I have said "No we are out of Wii's" maybe 4390590834265783450967345096845026713456329532985 times and NO YOUR WII CANNOT BE PLAYED IN HD.

Oh and... you can interchange rockband and guitar hero games and instruments. We have done it at work and it seems to work only half the time however. EA fucked up, and the shit is all random. There is not one true way to make one work with the other, it's pretty fucking random.

um um and yeah don't buy the 360 arcade LOTS of them are first gen 360s (red ring of death issues) and no your ps2 games do not work on ps3. Sony said fuck you go buy ps3 games.

As of now they are the best units and most gamers in the know buy this and add a hard drive separate just to get the new "jasper" chip also it's the only unit with built in memory.

Shit man, Circuit City's done for. They're so piss-poor broke right now. I'd be surprised if Microsoft is even sending them new inventory.

I don't think they do. They only send back refurbished trash.


What's the return policy for xbox 360's? If it breaks can I get a new one? Waiting a month for CC to send me a new one sucks

The novelty of Wii seems to be fading more and more each day. Unless your a fatty and using Wii Fit, or maybe if your 5.

doesn't seem to be affecting sales. i'm gonna try and grab my stepbrother's, he's getting a 360. tiger woods on the wii is awesome enough for me to try and snag it from him.

I'll be sure to tell the Microsoft Rep. he was lying. :tu

lol, I busted my ankle and had to work ops center for a day until I could walk again and half of all the phone calls were wii related. I started answering the phone like, "Thank you for calling BB, this is Wayne, and currently we are sold out of Wii's and Wii Fit, how may I help you?"

Also it's sort of amusing to see the look in a face when you say "No ps2 games do not work on ps3" or "No more new releases for the ps2 cause of ps3." And I explain how the Xbox was phased out by 360 as an example.


I wish you would have told me sooner. I just bought a 360 arcade because my last 360 was red ringed.

Where did you buy it? Most places give you 30 days to return. I'd give it a few months before buying an arcade until all the red rings are gone and the chip ones are all that is left.

Well here's a good one for you then:

A guy bought a sweet 50" Panasonic Vierra Plasma, 1mil:1 contrast and 480 processing. Well he tried to mount it himself, dropped it, and called his freaking out about "HD IS ALL OVER MY HANDS AND FLOOR HELP HELP!!!"

... funny stuff...

I explained that is not HD, it is Xeon and Neon gas, and it is completely non-toxic and harmless. Might need stain remover.


How can I get a new xbox from circuit city? They keep sending me refurbished trash and it keeps breaking.

You can't I suppose. BB is busy opening stores in China and Mexico while CC is busy closing stores in the states. I assume BB has passed on purchasing that franchise and will just watch them wither and die much like CompUSA.

Anyways I wouldn't buy anything expensive from CC because the store you got it from might not be there in a year, so if warranty issues arise and you don't want that.

He dropped a 50 inch TV and he is worried about stains on his floor. If I dropped my brand new 50 inch TV I would almost wish that the gas that came out was toxic. Fuck that!
