Congrats ... and let me just say that Mrs CheapyD rules ... I wish my Mrs. would get a good enough job to do the same. Though, somehow, I think she's waiting for me to do the exact same thing for her. Anyway ... go to a Sumo match and sit close enough to be sprayed with man sweat like the...

Thanks Strell.

For some backup and transfer purposes, I need to get a USB external hard drive and would like ot get it for a decent price. Any recommendations of a brand or store online? 80GB is my minimum size need. Thanks for the help!

Don't be stupid. Those are all modifications of an existing product. Of course those will decline in price ... just like CD players, DVD players, HDTV, etc etc. What we are talking about here is a new product that is more advanced. Something tells me the 360 costs Microsoft more to produce...

And? Simple marketing and inflation dictate that prices are higher when new/advanced things come out. No company ever releases an advanced form of their product, and then charges less than the original.

So let me get this straight ... Microsoft is offering the XBox 360, certainly a far superior gaming system than the original XBox, for the exact same launch price as the original XBox five years ago? And somehow that makes them evil? Am I the only one who assumed that the XBox 360 with hard...

Does is count as Coded Arms related if I say I'd like a free copy of Coded Arms? I say yes.

Thanks for the tips ... the microwave one worked like a charm. The backstory is that I bought a bunch of games from the big Gamefly sale in December, but stupidly didn't check a couple of them (or just checked them poorly). So I have a couple of games that have a handful of scratches ...

I'm looking for recommendations of CD scratch repair kits for a couple XBox games I have. Anything on the market work/help from anyone's experience? Thanks. -TM

Try Hotwire ... sometimes they have some pretty good last minute rates. You may not be able to pick the specific departure and arrival times, but it's worth a shot to at least see the price quote (which you can do before committing to the flight)

I'm also in the first gen XBox boat, and have finally decided to throw in the towel. I haven't paid attention to the console in a while ... are all new XBoxes Thompson-free these days? Just wanted to make sure before I drop the cash.

My vote is for Plummer, despite the fact that he's been a little subpar the past month and seems to be occupied with flipping off his own fans. Regardless, the Chiefs defense flat out stinks, and they give up the most big plays in the league and Ashley Lelie is a big play guy. Also, let's not...

When I was in college I was convinced my girlfriend and I were going to get married some day. Then Christmas came and she got me a traveler's grooming kit (complete with toenail clippers) and a tie hanger. I thought to myself "Is she breaking up with me?" ... and sure enough we were done...

Wow ... many thanks to all who've been offering up suggestions ... I appreciate it a ton (and I'm sure the kid will too) -TM

So every year at this time I like to pull a couple names off the local Salvation Army Angel Tree and buy some kids some holiday gifts. One of my names this year would like some XBox games, so I'm looking for everyone's expertise. Being a CAGer at heart, I'd like to get this kid 3-4 good games...

I'm just glad nobody spilled the beans about the "Master Chief is gay" storyline. You have one drunken night in college, and you can never live it down. Even if you do save the universe. We'll just have to wait for the game to come out to hear the rest. By the way ... I would NEVER download...

Aaahh gutters ... I know that world now too. And not to forget fun things like sump pumps, hot water heaters, power washers, post hole diggers, and more! Suddenly all those aisles in Lowe's that I though were for "other people," have all the things I need. On the bright side ... I now...

I swear ... I have no idea how Lowe's stayed in business before I bought my first house this summer ... since I now buy everything they stock. Congrats and welcome to the true American way of debt and spending. I had no idea I could owe money to so many different people at the same time. I...

CAG makes me look smarter than my friends since I pay less than they do. And I like that.
