        Can't say that I'm having any problems, other then the fact that COD2 on live is really laggy =(. People were having problems with the first xbox when it launched, I had mine since launch and it never had a problem.
        IF I WANTED AN ANGEL AIR I WOULD GLUE A GAMEBOY TO MY FRIKIN TANK.

                  They tried to launch them too fast and didn't get all of the bugs worked out.
