Right after I moved into my house, I began looking for an appropriate 5.1 setup to use in my rather small living room. Of course, my first thought was Bose, but then I did some research, and ended up with the Energy "Take 5.2" system (but with the same subwoofer I'd been using for years). I have since added another Energy speaker (albeit slightly different) to my setup, giving me 6.1 (quite nice being able to hear enemies directly behind me in multiplayer gaming).

A few months ago, there were rumors about online co-op, but no solid information. Just before Halo 3's release, the rumors were confirmed. After playing Halo 3 co-op on my LAN last night, I have to say that it doesn't disappoint.

Getting it to work is pretty simple—go into the Game Lobby, choose Campaign, and choose whether to use System Link or Xbox Live; there is the option of hosting a game or joining an existing one. Since we were in the same room, there was no need for us to use headsets last night, but I'll post more on this later after we try co-op on Xbox Live.

It's happened to everyone... that gut-wrenching, horrifying feeling you get when the shiny new gadget you JUST bought a month ago drops in price or is replaced by something better. Look at iPhone owners. You can't tell me those that picked up 8GB iPhones at $599 didn't feel a bit used when Apple lowered the price to $399 only 2 months after it was launched. Sure, that $100 in-store credit helped soften the blow, but no doubt everyone probably wishes they had waited those few months before buying.
