(Still awesome, though :P) So this turned out to be a different Power Rangers game than I had as a kid! (Still awesome, though :P)

Then again, if they were focused on customers and not greed, maybe the RRoD either wouldn't have happened in the first place due to better quality, or would have been handled better when it did crop up.

Forcing the upgrade is what helped push them further and that's what's going to happen here, as well.

It would be interesting if they devised Xbox Live universal between Xbox regular and 360. But I think it's good to say that if there's people still around, keep it going.

That is, the New Hotness came out, and support suddenly disappeared for the original system, which my husband had JUST PURCHASED about a month prior. I got what was possibly the last wireless adaptor for the original system in Savannah, at least for a while, because they simply stopped shipping it when the 360 was released. I guess the one good thing to come from this recent batch of greed is that it proves that original impression that I had correct.

It was the only Halo with online multiplayer worth a damn. Do I hear Halo 2 rebuild on modern engine? :D Frankly, Halo 2 is more than enough reason.

I remember the radar screen eluded me for a long time, and I couldn't figure out where to go. I don't think I've ever gotten past the second level without cheating either. That being said, it's the first game I can think off playing that doesn't have a HUD and it was pretty awesome how you could switch vehicles.

There's the first switch you pull in the Light World that let's in water, but later, there's another switch in a small green area that's in water to access another ladder you can't reach. The problem was, I didn't know how to use the switch. I kept trying to pull it, but then I tried pushing it and must have been off by few pixels because it wouldn't budge. Finally, I hit it just right and everything was great. Then I hit another problem... Much later in that same dungeon, you have to shift a block that reveals a hidden treasure chest. Inside the chest is a key that opens a door that can only be accessed with the hookshot. Well, there was some kind of glitch and I lost the key, so now I can't get the door open. Does anyone know if there are any vendors who sell keys? Or, is there anyway to reset dungeon and do it again? I'm pretty much screwed. I figured it out; I was missing another switch.
