Kulex got here first, sorry Michael. May be more tomorrow, my flatmate's games should have some and he's already on Live.

All Dawson and CKN have been coded, only one left.

Trouble King and Summers will be recieving PM's shortly! 3 left.

Alrighty, since I'm picking up my subscription card tomorrow I've just run through my game boxes and turned up 5 48hr trial cards. SO! The first 5* people to reply will be PM'd one of the codes. (*If I don't recognize you from being around the board you ain't getting) Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand GO!

Call of Duty 2 I've regressed from CoD3, smaller games allow for more skill and there's a good community for it on Live based on the Xbox.com forums.

Call of Suty Actionpad? Might want to rename that or you'll miss some hits. If Pro Ev's still that cheap in a few days I'll bid.

Alterac Valley, the PvP battleground. Runs from 51 - 70 in a couple of different level bands.

Whats the price on a pre-owned regular (original fat one) style DS at gamestation? I miss mine

My flatmate just traded his PS2 to game against his PS3, he got £30 credit.

The trailer's up on Xbox Live Marketplace now, looks pretty damn impressive. Although if that's the main character I hope there's some customization options for appearances etc.

Okay I have my own tag now, Foxhound 1986 so feel free to add me. I play a lot of Call of Duty 3 and Crackdown at the moment.

Has anyone else had trouble setting up a System link game? I tried it at the weekend, but it just refused to acknowledge the other system trying to connect.

Well you could send it in the console box but thats not what its coming back in so you would lose your original box that way. They advise you to pack it in something plain that doesn't indicate the value of whats inside but its UPS who handle them so it should be safe either way.

Just bubble wrap and brown paper it, unless you have some suitable cardboard box to pack it in. (Y)

Well I had my machine picked up and on its way to be repaired, next day I went to play Double Agent on the other 360 aaaaaaaaaaand in the box there was nothing. One scramble round the living room later I realised what I must have done with it. Phoned up Microsoft who got someone at the Repair center on the line who said they'd opened it up and had the disc stored with my machine. But it does say in the instructions for sending your machine away not to send any discs with it, which allows them to get away with it if it doesn't come back. Faceplates aren't mentioned in the instructions but my flatmate lost his Gears of War one to the repair center.

Your 360 will be getting couriered away to the delightful people at the Microsoft Xbox Repair Centre. Mine's been twice and my flatmate's 3 times. Here's what to watch for: No hard drive or cables to go with it. If you have discs in the drive, get them out. There's no guarantee of getting them back if you forget. I nearly lost Double Agent like that. Faceplates. Take them off and put the white one on, as if they have trouble fixing your machine they'll send a new one back and typically they'll not bother with the faceplate. You need to pack the machine up yourself for UPS, then attach the label they send you (it is possible to get the labels Emailed to you, but it sounds like your Customer service person was crap). You can track it to Microsoft via UPS' website if you keep a note of the Package number. Then you wait 2-4 weeks to get it back. Sadly they won't be any more specific than that, even if you phone and hassle them. It'll come back in a custom fitted box tho, which is handy if you ever need to send it away again.

And today my citizens are revealed to be the dumbest in EWB.

Yeah Gears should only need 1MB or so to save, plus your profile. Some games have much bigger saves though.
