Re: Xbox 360s--vent

Now that is a very good reason to vent. That sounds like the old first
Cabbage Patch dolls. The first time I saw one, person were fighting over
the dolls at Wal-Mart. I would hate to be there is see gamers going
hostile for this thing. So, I call my store today and see if my xbox is in
but I promise not to be horrible to the messager.
Good luck with today.
