It's always a great upgrade. Some of the Games are awesome (Call of Duty, Perfect Dark) And there are games that are coming out that will rock for it. And of course, everyone month or so Microsoft upgrades the software so that you can play more and more of the older Xbox games on the system. It really depends on if you want to get that, the PS3, or even the WII. Of course myself, I will probably end up with all 3 eventually......:)

Fight the crowds and get yourself a PS3 instead... you'll be glad you did.

I fought the crowds (literally) for the 360 and still didn't get one until Dec (came out November). If you wait for the PS3, you might be waiting till next summer. Not only that, but there are going to be a TON of issues with the Blu Ray.

The 360 is at a point now where most of the bugs have been worked out and quality games are starting to come out at a good rate.

There are a lot of nice upgrades from the OG XBOX to the 360. Some of the features I like are

1. The wireless controls. These are probably the best designed controllers of all time. Flawless and the form factor is great. Best of all, NO WIRES!

2. Streaming music. I can link up to my home network and stream music through my surround from a seperate PC and also view picture slideshows on my bigscreen, straight off the network.

3. LIVE...Sony will be trying to compete with the LIVE service, but they have a LOT of catching up to do. One of the cool things is the arcade on LIVE. I honestly have been playing more (free) acrade games then anything lately. Especially Texas Hold'em. Fun against people all over and with voice chat. I know a lot of people who use the LIVE service in place of a phone to talk to friends....free, free, free.

Also a lot of games release add ons or extras that you can download for free or a small fee.

Demos are also available on a lot of games that you an download for free to try a game before you buy it. Saved me a bunch of money wink.gif

4. All games in HD with Dolby!

5. Progressive scan DVD player. No it's not Blu Ray or HDDVD, but it replaced my stand alone progressive and it looks pretty darn good on my TV. Microsoft will be releasing an HDDVD (High Density DVD) component pretty soon to compete with the BluRay. I not really excited about either yet as the price of movies will be high with limited selection.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
