I've gone through about 3 of these since i got XBOX Live back in April 2008. It's a cheap headset that's good for the casual gamer. If you play LIVE every once in a while just for fun, you won't mind this headset. However, if you are a more hardcore gamer that plays FPS games, I would recommend a Turtle Beach headset.
What's great about it: price, switch is in a convenient position
What's not so great: fragile, poor quality, horrible design

I snowboard here and there, and am a big fan of it. I was excited years ago when I heard about this game coming out... but it just didn't live up to the hype.
First of all, you are just put around in some random mountain, stuck collecting coins. The tricks and combos are very difficult, as there is a very steep learning curve. Your rare combos will just seem like merely strokes of luck.
What's great about it: Graphics
What's not so great: Unrealistic, steep learning curve

I am a large GOW fan, but I don't recommend you buying this. There is no guest feature for Live, which the original GOW had and it takes forever to find a match. GOW2 does a have a great storyline and better graphics than its predecessor but I returned it- don't buy it unless you're a GOW freak.

I have been a fan of Call Of Duty for a long time. When I got this, I expected so much of it, but it just didn't live up to any of my expectations besides the stunning graphics. If you're just getting into the COD series, stick to COD4. This is for fanboys, and fanboys only. I returned this a week after getting it.

The campaign mode is short but challenging. Matchmaking is extremely addicting with it's wide variety of types and large player base, and Custom Games are extremely fun for anyone with Live and a large friend list to go with it. There are so many weapons and vehicles. Forge is the greatest thing about Halo- you can make any map anything you want, especially on the map Foundry.
Anyone with a 360 MUST purchase this game.
What's great about it: Halo 3! What else do I have to say?

The DVD is amazingly filmed and edited, and the music is great (what else would you expect from Linkin Park?). This is their best live DVD out there. Not to mention the price, which is low.
I recommend this to any Linkin Park fan, you will really enjoy this DVD/CD combo.
