Re: xBox or PS3? Plus...what to buy?.....etc!
Seriously, Ron -- you're debating between a PS3 and an XBox 360, and the first thing you want to know after deciding is where you can get Tetris and card games?!?!?!

To say that games without vibration are like silent games is totally absurd. I honestly don't miss vibration at all.

I'm glad you don't miss it like I do. I'll be nice and not say your opinion is absurd, though...  Anyway...
To me, no vibration is like having no sound. It's that extra sensory stimulation that just pulls you into the game that much more. I played CoD4 on a friends' PS3 a few weeks ago, and to me, the game just had a sterile feel to it without the vibration. Of course, YMMV....

In my case, I don't really miss the vibration function; although, it is nice to have. It is a moot point anyway, since SONY is going to be putting out a PS3 controller with rumble function. It is obvious that a lot of PS3 gamers felt as you do. SONY must have been fielding a lot of complaints from gamers because, at first, they were adamant that rumble function wasn't needed. Now they are changing their tune and making it available. They should have done so in the first place.

Dude, you are making me look real bad here.
I ordered Call of Duty 4 and Grand Theft Auto 4
I'm just looking for smaller additional games that I can play
when I am not in the mood for the more complex fare.

I think he was just pulling your leg a bit. I don't think his intent was to make you look bad. You have to admit it is kind of humorous to be looking at buying powerful game system like the XBOX360 and then immediately ask where you can get Tetris for it.
The system you ordered doesn't come with the Xbox Arcade Unplugged disc?

Re: xBox or PS3? Plus...what to buy?.....etc!
It's hard to show emotions when typing on this forum. I have
known Aaron for many, many years and I know he was pulling
my leg.
This is what comes with the Elite bundle...
Xbox 360 Elite console (black)
120GB hard drive
Wireless Controller (black)
Xbox Live Headset (black)
HDMI port
HDMI cable
Xbox Live Silver membership (Don't need it since I bought GOLD membership)
One-month subscription to Xbox Live Gold
Forza 2 Game
Marvel Ultimate Alliance Game
I ordered an extra black controller, one battery pack (wanted two
but I was limited to one), quick charger, optical cable, GOLD membership.
I was told that the HDMI connection only carries 2 channel audio
so I got the optical to enable full surround capability.
Now...what is the Arcade unplugged disc? I'll have to look it up
on Amazon.
Update: Just found Arcade Unplugged on Amazon. It looks crappy.
What I am looking for is a Vegas Casino game where you can walk around a casino
and play card games, slots, etc. A Tetris game would be cool, too. Thought these
might be small downloads made available through xBox Live. Just saw Tetris Evolution
which looks kinda neat.

Re: xBox or PS3? Plus...what to buy?.....etc!
The funny thing is, the day I got my Xbox I purchased COD4 and Burnout Paradise, and yet the first thing I did was download the old arcade Double Dragon and Contra from Nintendo. I loved those games. My son loves the Wall-e trailer in HD and I also got the full version of Zuma for when I don't feel like getting into anything to deep. Although I can't get by level 9...
Congrats on the purchase Ron.

Hey, I'm old and cranky (by video gamer standards, anyway). If you remembered playing Shark on the Commodore PET as fondly as I do, you wouldn't miss rumbling controllers so much.
