I'm so focused on the buttons, that I don't see the moves.

If you want a game with absolutely beautiful graphic designs, Assassin's Creed is by far the best I've seen.

The only games I've picked up for myself so far is Guitar Hero 3, Tiger and NFL (the other game were for the kids).

The shitty thing is , I ordered GH3 from ebay and the wireless receiver was/is broke so I can't even play it yet. Had to go and order a new one for $20.

Assassins Creed - I've seen some video's and it looks amazing. I'm going to hit the flea market one day soon. We can pick up new games for under $40 ( I think they fell off the truck, but I don't ask)

how big would you be if ALL you did was:

Squat 400 x 20
Deadlift 500 x 5
Bench 315 x 5, or dip with 100 lbs added.
Chin with 75 lbs strapped to your waist x 5
Miltary Press 225 x 8

Pretty ****ing big is my guess. Without any "rear delt work".

Is there an Xbox store that you can go to and download demos or buy games ( online with your system) ?

If you want a word of advice, here's how I pick games to buy..

1) If you have a Gamestop over there in Canada like we do all over the place in the US, they have a sweet return policy for used games. I basically "rent" games from there for free LOL. If you buy a used game, keep the reciept, play it for a week, and return it for a full refund. You don't even need to tell them why.

2) Log onto Youtube. I always type in, "(name of game), xbox 360 IGN video review" .. Or "(name of game), xbox 360 gamespot video review" What happens is that those URL's are from the actual IGN and gamespot websites that you have to be a paying member to see.. But members usually host it on youtube for their friends to see. The video reviews are very in depth, and show you what's good or bad with the game. You also get to see the gameplay.

Of course! Movies, arcade games, demos all there. It also has additional maps and levels for some games that you can add on to your already existing game.. For example, I remember Marvel: Ultimate Alliance has a package you get online at the marketplace to where you can play as extra characters such as the Hulk.

Gamestop - online only (that i've seen)

But we use to do that all the time, back in the day.
Our videostore is starting to sell new / used games, so I will try it.

NOw Walmart (for example) won't take back any electronic that has been open.

Ya, Sony has the same thing. But I'm not sure how often they change things around.

I just picked up bowling ($10) and it's (what I call) Wii technology. Lot's of fun.

I meant to say that the settings on the PS3 have to be changed. The tv will play whatever it is qualified to play (480,720,1080).

I think buying the ps3 is a good choice because in the long run the ps3 will be having a lot of great games like metal gear and grand theft. Just give the ps3 more time.
