Added as many friends as I could find on this forum....sorry if I missed anyones gamertag. Razor joined me last night for my first experiences with XBL....got my clock cleaned all night long. The few that were in the co-op were better than me, as well as probably most of the friends I added from this forum last night. Was playing RSV, the ai numbers were high and very tough (and we were in normal mode), but then Razor also mentioned joining group on group of gamers...havent tried it yet. Noticed steeb online this morning, and tried to join him in gow....but couldnt find a selection to just join him. All I saw was that I could send him an invite. So, still trying to learn my way around the gaming: joining my friends who are already online and gaming is still a mystery thus far.

Did download v for vendetta in hd. Impressed with pq and sq...but I think they may be just a little shy of what my 360 add on can give for pq. But then i dont own the disk of v for vendetta...so Im just guessing on that one. NOT impressed with the download time for the movie though.

Not impressed that the opening sequence for star trek original series in hd is actually wide screen full hd, but then the program itself is 4x3 It looks good even in 4x3, but I would be willing to wait longer and get a widescreen version. Its nice that the 43minute program only took about 20 minutes to download, but I sure hope ms decides to offer the ws version if they expect me to pay for any more in the future. For all I know that was how they were remastered for hd, but I doubt it.
