Neca Gears figures @ Toys R Us
Fri Oct 10, 2008 at 10:22:38 PM EST
Hey guys just wanted to give everyone a heads up on this. Dylan's Birthday is on Monday and he was wanting a Marcus Gears action figure. I went to my local Toys R Us and they only had 1 Cole left. My Wife asked one of the workers if they had anymore in stock and she went and checked and came back and told us that they are discontinuing them :( She said they would not be getting anymore series 1 in. She even checked some other Toys R Us stores around the area and they were all out of them as well. So if you guys were wanting to get your hands on the series 1 figures and was planing on going to Toys R Us to get them you better hurry and check if they are still available in your area. She said she wasn't sure why they were discontinuing them and I told her that series 2 is coming out and she said that's probably why. I did get him the Cole train :) The detail of these are fantastic. I just wish I would have went to get them a lot sooner. I did get it for $9.99 because Dylan got a $3.00 off gift card in the mail for being signed up in the Toys R Us Birthday club.

Was just on www.gearsofwar.com and they have something up called Experience the last day. After it loads you can click on the little button in the middle of the screen and it asks for a code. Was just wondering if anyone else has seen this? Not sure what the code is for yet. Click on the link to check it out..........

Viva Pinata TIP saved game??
Tue Sep 16, 2008 at 06:13:06 PM EST
Is anybody having problems loading their saved game for Viva Pinata Trouble in Paradise? Dylan is up to level 74 and today just tried to load his game and it is saying
"Your save game is unreadable or invalid and can be deleted from the xbox dashboard. Please press A to continue."
I have tried clearing the cache and it still says the same thing. This also happened to my Daughters saved game but she was no where near as far as Dylan was. Thanks for any help guys, I think he is going to have to start all the way over and he's not very happy about that :(

NHL 09 disc read error
Sat Sep 13, 2008 at 04:14:49 PM EST

Just wanted to pass this info along to those that bought NHL 09. They are reporting this over at www.xbox360fanboy.com
Sports fans, grab the tissues because the tears are about to start flowing. Users on the official EA Sports forum are reporting widespread disc read error issues with NHL 09 -- over time. Many users are reporting the popular hockey franchise works as advertised during the initial play through but eventually crashes after loading saved modes or regular games once the Xbox 360 reboots.
