I got Madden 09 now. I’ve been semi-boycotting it but best buy had a deal where when you buy an xbox and madden you get a free wireless controller… so since I was going to buy the xbox anyway and need a controller the madden game ends up costing me like $10. Anyway if we get a league going or something I might be able to do it. But I’m heading out of town and will only have a sporadic internet connection. ---

I only have Silver right now, but am considering Gold… regrettably, somebody already had ‘candidgamera’ as a Live Tag… that’s the only other time I’ve seen my online name used. ---

You can also get it cheap if you check out [slickdeals.net](http://slickdeals.net) occasionally. Someone often runs a year’s worth of Xbox live prepay cards for like $20-30. ---

I think I’m a bit behind on my invites. And then last week some of you got silent audio messages from me, probably, and then I spammed you some more explaining that my mic had been f-d up. I also have a PS3 but have yet to play anything online with it, though I only Resistance and maybe a couple of other things I can play online multi-player. ---

Reviving this thread to point out that i got a [32 Kill streak in ranked play](http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=706397204&player=GariusTheBrit) yesterday on Halo 3. If you send me your game discs i will autograph them. 😉 ---

Now that we have a TON of new blood, I figured I’d give this a bump. To the 4 pending requests, I finally accepted them, so check the Gamertag and send out invites if you’re looking for a party. Wanted: People to use the SDMB Gamertag to set up mini tournaments. Send me a private message or reply here if you’re interested. ---

I’m always up for Halo, but obviously there’s a timezone difference that may make it tricky! ---

A friend and I share the 360 under the gamertag **NES Player**. For a while, the icon/avatar was the Atari logo. ---

You have chosen wisely. No Halo 3 in your gaming history, so not TOO wisely, though. ---
