I just got my xbox on saturday and rushed to the store and got halo and YES it is worth the hype, the game is incredible. The controls took a little while to get used to and driving the warthog was a blast. I am very pleased with the xbox. one question... when I unpacked the instruction manual there was a little white card with a sticker on it, what is that? and what is it for?

Did it have the serial #'s or something on it? Is it for the warranty maybe? Welcome to XBA. Where in TX are you, I'm in Houston.

All I have to say is that you brought the prefect game for you xbox. Halo was the first game I got for my xbox to and I don't think I will be selling it any time soon.

Again I say welcome to xboxaddict.com. This is the best xbox site now and always be the best xbox site.:)

Welcome Flattop and congrats. I still recall with fondness the day I first manned the controls of a warthog.

thx everyone for the nice welcome. UltimateAG, I am in a small town in east texas called Longview. not sure how to describe the sticker, it doesnt say anything but I can hold it up to the light and look throught it and its like a square with a line that starts at the outside edge and goes round and round until it gets to the middle and there is the letter L in the center of the square. I tried to peel the sticker off the card but it doesnt come off easy so I just left it.. anyway thx again for the welcome and whats the next best game after halo?

Halo is good, Morrowind is better. After you get bored with halo, pick up the elder scrolls 3.

I've seen those stickers before. I believe they are some kind of security device used by stores to trigger some type of alarm during theft. I could be wrong tho.

I think that the reason he got a white sticker it's because he got the case where it said "Game of the year".
Is this the case where Halo came?

If it is now we know why he got that white sticker. By the way welcome to the beautiful world of xbox dude.

Hey welcome. It is nice to see someone actually admit to being a n00b. Well, Xbox will not disappoint. As for the sticker thing, I am guessin that it is a security device.

Yea most newbies wont admit their n00bs. They make up crap like "uhh.... i had to get a new name cuz uh...yea whatever. how do you work this site i dont understand it". Xbox rules and its graphical capabilaties are awesome. play DOA3 and youll see. An make sure u get Official Xbox Magazine (OXM). OXM rules. and it doesnt make up crappy lies like PSmagazine. My friend had one about E3 and itsad all these lies i bout ripped it up. It said ps as the best and its internet was the best(thats not what we tohught wen it lagged up lol).
