But now you have to wait 3 years to get it if you got free shipping. Should upgrade to prime, get overnight shipping, then cancel prime. (Don't know if you can do that)

I have Amazon Prime. I upgraded to "over night" for an extra $4. h:


Also, Amazon will give you a $25 cash back certificate after your first 2,500 points. All purchases on Amazon are worth 3 points, doubled for the first 90 days.

$170 X 6 points = approx 1014 points, or $10 in rewards. :run:

New machine will be here tomorrow.

FYI - When you download something from Xbox Live, the DRM (digial rights management) will only allow the content to played on a specific piece of hardware. In theory, any DLC can be placed onto the HDD. The DRM signature will look for the machine the HDD is attached to.

If you were to take your existing HDD and pop it onto another machine, your DLC will not work. You'll have to re-download everything and go through some obnoxious back-route to get some of this stuff to work.

If the HDD to other machine is permanent, you'll have to pass your digital content's rights to the new machine. This can be done via PC (xbox.com/drm) & 360. When the 360 signs onto XBL, the webservice will then accept the new machine as being the primary. You'll then have to re-download everything.

You can only do the DRM transfer once-a-year and this is only good for gaming. Movie licenses do not transfer.

Damn that's annoying. Now you may have your machine tomorrow but you are going to be spending hours loading all the DLC back on there.

There's a way to manage the DL queue from the web, but yeah ... every individual piece of DLC will have to be re-downloaded.

- H3 map packs (x4)
- Rock Band tracks
- Xbox Arcade games.

Anyone hear from Josh?

He could be:
a) on vacation and didn't announce it to the thread like the unthoughtful bastard he is
b) dead
c) infected with H1N1
