Becky sent me an IM earlier today to let me know that my XBox360 just arrived.  I had to send it in for repairs after it died a week or so ago.  The repair process was pretty simple.  They sent me an empty box.  I took off all the accessories and put the console in the box and dropped it off at the UPS store.  And now it's back! I'm hoping that there aren't any more problems.  I can't wait to download the new system update and try out 1080i DVD playback with my new VGA cable!

If it does everything it says it does, the update fixes every single complaint I had about the dashboard and system software. yippee.

[UPDATE] The VGA settings do not have a 1080i/p compatible setting, so no 1080i DVD playback for me.  Looks like the VGA cable is useless for me.  Back to Best Buy it goes! Here's hoping for DVI support.
