Queastion: Why are you buying them both separate Xbox's instead making them share one? I'm only asking this because I can barely get my own 360 without someone complaining about the fact that my brother already has one. Because, they bitch and moan and fight each other when they have to share things. It is easier this way. Indeed... I wish MY parents understood that.

Best Buy has a pack Im really considering buying. Its a 12 month Gold card, a headset, one of the keypad messenger things, and Project Gotham Racing 4........for $70.
Hell, the keypad and headset are $20 a pop on their own..not sure what PGR4 is, but its like $110 or so worth of stuff for $70. Damn bills are getting in the way of me buying it though.

Also, I just remembered that Microsoft is giving America another holiday bundle. For $50, you can get the Pro bundle w/ LEGO Indy and Kung Fu Panda, as well as Guitar Hero III WITH the guitar bundled in as well. So for $350 you get 3 games that if bought separately would easily put you into the $500 range.

Gears 2, easily. Banjo looks like a good game. I mean as I've already said I'm giving it to one of my little sisters for Christmas, and I'm actually planning on getting it in the spring or summer of 2009(I don't have the time this holiday season to play it myself). However, Gears of War 2.....well I just knew I had to have it from the moment Dude Huge(CliffyB) announced it at GDC this year. Also, Gears 2 looks to have better legs than Banjo, in that I think you'll have more to do with Gears 2 than Banjo.

Hm, don't know, I plan to get both eventually, wish money wasn't so tight

Hm, don't know, I plan to get both eventually, wish money wasn't so tight Mmmmm......Left 4 Dead.....*Homer drool* Seriously, this year was a huge explosion of games with multiplayer. Look at the games on 360 this holiday season that have multiplayer of some kind(that I can think of): - Fable II - Gears of War 2 - Call of Duty: World at War - Left 4 Dead - Far Cry 2 - F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin And I know there are a lot more. So many that a lot of games are getting lost in the shuffle. For example, I even forgot for a while that F.E.A.R. 2 was even coming out this year! Same with Prince of Persia......too many games!!!!!!! Damn man! These are all of the games I plan on getting this year and play: - Gears of War 2 - Silent Hill: Homecoming(I know that reviewers haven't been nice to it, but I'm a Silent Hill fan damn it!) - Dead Space - Fallout 3 - Left 4 Dead - Mirror's Edge - Prince of Persia - Madden 09(finally.....) - Ninja Gaiden II And on top of that, finish some games from last year: - Assassin's Creed - Mass Effect - BioShock(never finished it since my 360 got the RRoD playing it) - The Orange Box(sold 360 + games before doing much with it) Fable II and Banjo are my first two buys in 2009, along with Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on the Dark Athena and Red Faction: Guerilla.

As far as games for the rest of the year, I hope to stop after Mirror's Edge and Sonic Unleashed.
I'm supposed to be saving my money, dammit. D:

Man I wanna play Gears 2. Amazon must have sold out of their Lancer and game bundles cause I've yet to get my shipping notification.

Is Gears 2 different from the first one? Is it more action and less hiding from the creatures from 'Pitch Black'?

I called a few hours later like they asked, and they were still having problems.

From what I've seen of Gears 2, there is a ton more action, and DP, only one level was DEDICATED to them, but they are spread throughout the game. That's one of the challenges of the final boss, he's surrounded the the Kryll(Pitch Black things).

I got my Gears of War Lancer from Amazon. Apparently I didn't get the set that had the Gears 2 game, just the Lancer.
Well it's big. Looks like a Lancer. Takes 3 C batteries to vibrate, no digital chainsaw sound, it just vibrates allot. The blood paint job on it is really lousy. All bright red an you can tell it was just smeared all over with a brush.
140 bucks for a semi cool looking toy gun is not worth it.
I'll take some pics if people seem interested enough, you can find enough of them on the web tho.
