Nice edit

Who wouldnt be bored with a 3 yr old game?

I love my PS2 and the XBOX.

PS2, unfortunately, has nothing going for it in regards to online play. So my PS2 will be on reserve for GTA exclusively.

Luckily the XBOX has a whole bunch of new multiplayer games for the old socom crew here too play

Smitty... I was just looking at the Holiday bundle online (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...0X4J6&v=glance)

Doesn't the "2 Free Months of XBOX Live" package contain a headset? If so, how come you bought an extra headset?

yeah soopa that is a great deal.. go grab it..

You see I got NCAA football 2005.. top SPIN tennis & CRIMSON SKIES online
they all came with 2 months free subscription.. so I got 6 month for free.

Plus I bought a headset that came with 12 month subscription..

and I just called and talked to the guy who sold it to me and he said he will give me 2 more months for free if I come out to see him today...... ya know, since I told him about the Toys-R-US deal you brought to my attention..

I am already subscribed for 12 months.... and if I would of used the free 2 month subscription, I would of had to make a new profile and I am not doing that every 2 months... I got my name shit set-up... not going through all the crap.

The x-box dude game me Project Gotham Racing 2 (online) quoted as "Racing Game of the Year"....

p.s. he is married, just a cool cat who likes to hook me up... I gave him a Motley Crew CD I was going to trade in yesterday....... he thinks we are best friends now....

p.s.s. He got me Mekasault 2 coming out Dec. 29th for free too....

When I told him about the Toys R US (X-box deal for 149.99).. he went and grabbed 2 games and asked me if I wanted "Counter Strike or Project Gotham Racing 2".....so thanks Soopa..

I picked Project Gotham Racing 2..... should I of got Counter Strike???

No. Counter-Strike is significantly better on the PC.

Halo was *the* reason to own XBOX. Halo 2 is just as good--even a little better.

Not to rain on your parade, cause it done already.
but next time you look at trading stuff in try and find a gamestop, or one of their other stores found at www.gamestop.com they have MUCH better tradein prices the EB. EB seems to rip you off like crazy.

When I traded in my cube, gb sp and 10 games i got 240.00 and a cube trades less then ps2
