There are now programs you can install on most $20 wireless routers that will get the job done.

Every seller out there has options to buy overpriced bundles. And most of them have the console themselves for MSRP. I guess I don’t understand the objection - if there’s a console for sale at about 50% of the regular cost, why does the fact that there are overpriced bundles available negate the value of that 50% deal?

Because they didn’t actually _have_ the discounted bundle in stock.

Edit: So, are refurbished systems good? Or should I just get one from Best Buy for the warranty. My friend has his Xbox go out twice on him in the space of six months (during which considerable time was spent getting it fixed).

Geez I’m editing like crazy, ain’t I?

Anyway, I’m thinking… Saint’s Row 2 and Fallout 3? F-3 isn’t getting any custom user-generated content, os for me it’s kinda like, who cares about the computer version, right?

F3 has a huge modding community on the PC actually. As is usually the case, the PC version of the game is better 🙂
