    I don't know if this is nationwide, but at my local Wal-Mart (Benton, IL) they have some Wii Points cards marked down. The Wii Points cards in question are bundled with a sleeve for the "classic controller" add on. My brother and I were able to get 2000 Wii points for $15.00 (normally $20.00). The odd thing is that they were selling stand alone 2000 point cards right next to these boxes for full price. Check your local Wal-Mart's to see if they are doing the same thing.

    Are you just east of MO? I'm staying in the CWE, been out to Ameristar and Lumiere a few times. Poker action kinda sucks out here, compared to LA...
    I'm currently 90 minutes from downtown, but I did live in St. Louis for a few years after I graduated college, and know the city pretty well. The CWE has some fun spots, but I prefer University City and Soulard more. Also, yes the poker sucks here.

    you can still purchase an HDD for an arcade version, so not all is lostand the one thing is that the 360 games don't take anywhere near as much memory as the PS3 games do, so a 60 GB will more than suffice for most gamersthe only thing you really need lots of HDD space for is games like Rock Band, or games that you want to install to the HDD like Fallout 3, Last Remnant, etc.

    Hey, I posted earlier on this thread that I was looking for an XBOX 360. I' found one in my city on Craig's List but I know there are several different models. Which one is the best and does not have problems with the red ring of death?Edit: The one I'm looking at is white and was purchased in Dec. '08.
    First off, stay away from the "arcade" version since they do not come with a HDD. Unless the listing implicitly says that particular arcade version has a HDD then don't attempt to buy one. An "elite" version is the black colored 360 and has the 120GB HDD with it...it should still fall under the 3 year warranty in case something should happen. The newest model is the 60GB "premium" and came out late last year. I would ask the person with the listing when the system was bought, that way you can gauge how much time is left on the warranty. The warranties start from the date the system is sold.A rule of thumb is that the newer the system the less chance there is for the RRoD. That's not all inclusive of course, but it's something to go by.

    Fox News Trashes Canada

    http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/090323/...al/fox_news_cdaOTTAWA - A Fox News host apologized Monday to Canadians in the face of widespread outrage over comments he and his guests made on a late-night talk show. The statement came hours after a request by the Canadian government for an apology over remarks about this country's military that were described as "despicable" and "disgusting." Greg Gutfeld, host of the controversial segment on Fox's Red Eye show, said he never intended to make light of Canadian military efforts in Afghanistan. "However, I realize that my words may have been misunderstood," Gutfeld said in a statement released by Fox News. "It was not my intent to disrespect the brave men, women and families of the Canadian military, and for that I apologize. "Red Eye is a satirical take on the news, in which all topics are addressed in a lighthearted, humorous and ridiculous manner." The recent talk-show segment was taped just before four more Canadian soldiers were killed in Afghanistan and featured a group of pundits taking turns trashing Canada and its reliability as an ally. They were spurred by comments from Canada's army chief that the military would need a year's hiatus to regroup and refurbish after its Kandahar mission ends in 2011. In the Fox News segment, widely aired on the Internet, Gutfeld said the Canadian military "wants to take a breather to do some yoga, paint landscapes, run on the beach in gorgeous white capri pants." "Isn't this the perfect time to invade this ridiculous country?" he said. "They have no army." Defence Minister Peter MacKay requested an apology just before leaving for Canadian Forces Base Trenton, where he was to attend a homecoming ceremony with the families of the latest soldiers killed. Canadian soldiers have been fighting in Afghanistan since 2001 and have spent the last four years in the country's most violent region. Canada has lost 116 soldiers in Afghanistan, the highest casualty rate among allied countries fighting there. Earlier Monday, a spokesman stressed that the Canadian government specifically wanted an apology from the panelists who made the wisecracks - and not just from the Fox network at large. "These are despicable, hurtful and ignorant comments," said Dan Dugas, a spokesman for MacKay. "I think that so-called comedian should stare in the camera at his first opportunity and apologize to all of the families of people he's hurt with these despicable comments. "And he's got to say, 'I was misinformed. I was ignorant of the truth and the contribution of the Canadian Forces to the war on terror, and I want to take it back. I know as a comedian that I can fail sometimes; I failed miserably at this so-called comedy.' "And his panelists should say the same." Canada says it will withdraw most of its 2,500 troops from Kandahar when its current combat mission expires in 2011. The Fox News program aired after Lt.-Gen. Andrew Leslie, the Canadian army chief of staff, said the military would need a one-year break from operations once the long and difficult mission in Afghanistan winds down. One of Gutfeld's panelists, Doug Benson, said he didn't even know Canadian troops were in Afghanistan. "I didn't even know they were in the war. I thought that's where you go if you don't want to fight - you go chill in Canada," he said. The segment was posted online (http://www.youtube.com/watch?vtcJn5XlbSFk) under the title, "How to Lose Friends and Alienate Countries." By Monday afternoon, more than 3,000 people had posted responses to the clip, which also makes fun of RCMP officers and their traditional red uniforms.
