I would advise you to go read up on how UVerse works before making a switch. They just rolled it out in my neighborhood and I've been bombarded with discount offers and such and nearly bit.

There are some SEVERE limitations on how they've implemented HD 'streams' and how many you get at a time. If ...

What's even more ironic is that ESPN.com, the leader of the Vick persecution or prosecution (take your pick), has just devoted a new section of its Web site to mixed martial arts. It's OK for humans to beat the living sh*t out of each other in a sport in which hurting the other guy to the ...

HUGE Fan.

Went to UFC 69 in Houston - had a BLAST. Met and talked with Dana White at a private party - he's as much of a fan as anyone. Very cool guy.

If you ever have a chance, go see an event in person - it is a great time.

When the Mavs made the NBA Finals, some buddies and I decided we'd try to score some tickets to Game 1 in Dallas. We went thru a rather shady ticketbroker site that had "printable" tickets. Anyway, we wound up getting 6 tickets for ~$240/ea - a buddy gets the e-tickets sent to him via email.

The 360 is the only system I've ever owned that I fire up everyday.

Best Buy has a pretty sweet deal on the Samsung 42" DLP HDTV (
Model: HL-S4266W) - it is $1349 and if you order online (can still pick it up at the store), you get a free home stereo/dvd/speaker system - valued at ~$200.

Re: OT: GR:AW Free Overnight Shipping @ Gamestop

I know there are other GR threads but I figured this deserved its own thread.
For the next 12 hours or so Gamestop.com has free overnight shipping on GR:AW. On their homepage it says its for the PC version but the coupon code works for the 360 also. Code = GRAW1D

Saves you $9.99

It is probably due to you or your friend's NAT translation - as pointed out above. I have the same problem with a friend - he updated his router firmware and all seems fine. The hard part is that it may not be your end causing the problem, so have your friend check his router as well.
