Xbox 360 Fancast 024 -- Non-stravaganza

We're at the tail end of a very jet lagged trip to E3, but that wasn't enough to keep us from bringing you yet another episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast. This week, we talk about Bungie Day, the latest in Rock Band, Virtua Fighter 5's 360 enhancements, and of course, we discuss the newly extended Xbox 360 warranty. Dowload, listen, and enjoy, or pay the price.

My first console used to have a stuck DVD drive, but it then bricked up so I got the whole thing replaced.

If they recieve a 360 console down there in McAllen Texas, they check for discs that could be stuck and will repackage any discs with your replacement console. They tell ya that in the paperwork that comes in the cardboard coffin.

I like the QCB better.

CROTCH ROCKETS!!! I love it! I LOVE THE IDEA OF MOTORCYCLES IN PGR4! I CANT WAIT!

Can we please hear "Rock the haaause" again please?

Rich, actually, when you sign up for live with your GamerTag, your console automatically gets registered.

I haven't had much problems with the 2 exchanges I had to do. And i have the same problem as Dusty...just tell us what was wrong.

Another awesome podcast in the bag!

Jet Lag HA! Try flying Saturday night from Chicago to Singapore, arriving 12:30am Monday (due to time change). Go into work at 8:30am not having been able to sleep :)

Anyway keep up the podcasts, much preferred over GTR's offerings.
