[QUOTE="trancejeremy, post: 3916092, member: 924"] I got my 360 today from Overstock.com. Sadly, it really was the bundle with no games (I was hoping they were just too lazy to add another entry for them, though I'd rather have the $50 I saved, so no biggie). And even sadder, I missed getting one of those Falcons by a week (according to the production date). I also didn't get the cable to connect it to my PC monitor yet, so I haven't played with it much (not to mention, I don't have any games yet). Still, I have some questions and was too lazy to start a new thread: 1) Can you actually register your hardware? Sony and Nintendo have a thing on their sites where you enter in your serial number. And occasionally they send you stuff. (Sony does, anyway, all I got from Nintendo was an ad for their magazine). Though I mostly wanted to make sure they didn't give me a refurbished or used model. The back of the user pamphlet says you can and gives and url, but all that does is sign you up for Xbox Live Silver, not your hardware 2) How long do the batteries generally last in the controller? And also regarding the controller, is the d-pad as lousy as it seems? (I dunno what happened, the Xbox 1 had a great d-pad) 3) Other than backwards compatability, is possible to install patches for games or the firmware of the 360 from a cd? (Since I'm on dial-up, I can't use Xbox Live, obviously) 4) Any cheap games 360 owners would recommend? I'll try Forza 2 from ebay (since they should be flooded with bundles from pack-ins) and plan on getting Mass Effect. [/QUOTE]
