@OutOfBounds9000: Best of luck. Call the helpline, and they'll fix you up in six to eight weeks. I think your supposed to take the HDD off because I think they will send you a different 360 that's already been fixed. Ask them about that.
@Jayzz: That was a Quick Look, a review can't be posted till the release date see: <http://www.giantbomb.com/giant-bomb-mailbag-halo-reach-edition/17-3202/>
" It is readily apparent that though Ryan still loves mondays, he does not love mondays more than Halo... or procrastination for the review that's due tomorrow since the Bombcast will monopolize his tuesday. "
bombcast is recorded on monday broooseph "
Funny, they said Tuesday on the "Let's talk about memberships!" Bombcast. <http://www.giantbomb.com/podcast/?podcast_id=180> Secondly, don't take me so seriously. Clearly the review was finish a while ago and their waiting till tuesday to post it. It's the extra manhours their allocating this week that nixed the I love Mondays preview video.

" The Reapers will capture Shepard through one way or another and turn him to their cause, modifying him to the new upgraded version of the class of your choice and changing his appearance if the player so wishes. The beginning part of the game will be Shepard working for the Reapers before being rescued and un-indoctrinated. "
I like it. The whole unidoctrinating thing is canon breaking, but I like it. I know Benezia and Paul Grayson would have like to learn that trick, but it's Shepherd--he can't really be indoctrinated: He was only kidding.
This is going into Random Mass Guessing/fanfiction but the Protheans could have worked out a way to reverse indoctrination. In LotSB, it's theorized by someone that maybe the Protheans had other plans besides just sabotaging the Citadel. My RMG is maybe they were working on a way to reverse indoctrination in order to defeat a major weapon the Reapers had; namely, their indoctrinated brethren. They could have made an incomplete or even completed reversal tech but by the time they had, either they were too late or they just never had a chance to use it before being wiped out. They find it in ME3 and use it on indoctrinated Shepard. (Addendum: the tech is only usable on Prothean minds, making it useless for everyone but Shepard, seeing as he has the Cipher and Prothean memories). This is all BS though, seeing as I'm making random guesses on stuff. This is just my way of explaining the un-indoctrination in some semi-comprehensible way. "
The Prothean technology isn't a un-indoctrinator, it's a indoctrinator/re-indoctrinator that works on the reapers and organic beings alike (which is why they were studying humans and implanting them from Mars) , but Cereberus already has a counter-measure, and The IM has Aria backing him. Meanwhile, Admiral Hackitt creates a task force that destroys the Blue Suns, Eclipse, and Blood Pack, and he has his eyes on Cerberus and the Shadow Broker. Further, the Citadel, appalled by the arrogance of Humanity declares war on humanity--Batarians rejoin the Citadel. On Tuchanyka, a guilt ridden Mordin Solus cures the genophage, only to discover he made the insanely fertile Krogans even more fertile! And to fight this new threat, the Salarians teach the yahg about space flight, what could possibly go wrong? The Geth, having assimilated/destroyed the heratics, seek their new way, only to discover that the Galactic war will bring destruction to their new way--a unanimous vote is passed to eradicated organic life. ME3: Galaxy at War!
" @trophyhunter: Yes that allows for customization and a reunion with the ME1 love interest. Two birds, one vat of acid. I love it.
@Raven_Sword: It may be delayed like ME2; I'm sure Microsoft will pay for a year exclusive or something like that. "
Or mass effect 3 will be a story told by senile 90 year shepherd. "Now was I a woman 50 years ago?" "
It could be a frame within a frame story with a chance of death in the end, "and that, young whippersnappers, is how I DIED! ... What? I got better!"

" After working with Cerberus/TIM Shepard becomes a wanted man and has to change his name and appearance. That would help with having to regain loyalty with current crew members as well since they don't necessarily trust that you are their former commander. This would cover the fact that Shepard can die at the end of ME2 as well. "
It doesn't really work if Shepherd actually died. Secondly, Tim Shepherd: "What nobody's going to fall for this!" Illusive Man: "Bring in Exhibit A" Enter Wrex: Shepherd! Tim: "It's Tim Shepherd; I'm John's Twin he never talks about." Wrex: "Sorry, my mistake" Tim: "..."@pornstorestiffi said:
" Ever seen the movie Face/off... "
I like where this is going. Shepherd takes Wrex's face so he's a human with a Krogan face and Wrex is a Krogan with a human face!@Raven_Sword said:
" @trophyhunter: I have my doubts itll swing that way. Just dosent seem likely. Id assume EA would rather have more users palying it then a one time cash sum. But hey, MS has proved me wrong before with the money. And honestly, it urks me that MS is forced to do that now that they have little exclusive franchises right now. I mean, they did it before, but now they REALLY gotta do it. "
ummm... no one take me as seriously as he just took Trophy Hunter.
The compression is the limitations of HDDVD coming to grips with the sheer power of the XBox360 while trying to compete with the PS3 which uses the superior Blu-Ray technology.
