Question: How the fuck are you going to play these games if you can't get broadband where you live?
They're not supposed to. The OS is designed to be put on the disc so there is never compatibility issues.

I just got a 360 a little while ago and own both of those games. I get a lot of notices like this too, but I'm pretty sure they said "if you choose not to update, you will not be able to connect to Xbox Live" or something to that effect. I know I definitely didn't set up Xbox Live before first playing Halo 3.

Thanks to everyone for their help.

Damn! A new Prius? That's amazing. Congrats. I've always wanted a hybrid to be my first major car purchase...

Oh man, I really want an iPod Touch. Just for being able to go on the internet wherever WiFi is present.

Get an iPhone. iPod Touch is worthless.

Trust me, you think WiFi is everywhere... it's not. The times you REALLY need to look something up, there will be no WiFi.

Clocky



Quote:
Clocky is a clock for people who have trouble getting out of bed. When the snooze bar is pressed, Clocky rolls off the table and finds a hiding spot, a new one every day.

Clocky began as a class project. After graduating, Gauri Nanda turned Clocky into a well-crafted manufacturable design. Clocky is now available at her company, Nanda. Visit nandahome.com.

I heard about a clock exactly like that, but instead of rolling off it would spin a helicopter type thing off the top of the clock and fly away and a screeching sound wouldn't stop until you got out of bed and caught it. I think I might kill myself if I had something like that.
