Feel free to list your XBox goodies and, if you like, list off some other stuff. I'll kick this off!

1. Counter-Strike

I haven't played this bad boy yet, but, I look forward to it!

2. Mad Catz Steering Wheel

This mama jama ROCKS!!! Oh man, this is the one with the gas and brake pedals and the shifter! I was playing Rallisport Challenge with it and it feels amazing!! I had no idea that this thing was this bad ass! I can't wait for Rallisport Challenge 2 and bustin' this bad boy out on Live :D This is some good shizzle...

3. XBox gansta cap, T-Shirt, and Sweatshirt

High Quality...the goodness of solid black while sportin' the green XBox logo. Pretty hardcore for the most Addicted Addicts!


Other stuff:

1. Ladder.

I needed one of these bad boys so bad to get up on the roof of my home. This is not just some standard 17' ladder...this is the cadillac of all ladders. It can extend from 4' to 17'...fold in the "A" style to a full length ladder. High quality and light as hell...it's definately a must see. I may be over playing this, but, I don't think so. Can you tell I needed one of these?! :D

2. Pressure Washer.

1650 PSI...just enough power to fulfill my needs. I don't know about you dudes, but, in the state of Washington, this is a must for any home owner.

3. Tools tools and more tools.

Did I mention that I got some tools?!

4. Clothes.

Mainly jeans and shirts. Oh yeah, a pair of socks, too!


That's the main stuff...Christmas part duex starts soon where I go to my in-laws house with the wifey. I'll update this when I return!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!!

I'm going to assume that it only does since it only has an input that is appropriate only for the XBox controller port.

I don't know how much this bad boy was, however, I am assuming that it was about $80 or so...it's super duper high quality...I had no idea that it was this bad ass! It make racing games far more fun to play :)

Yeah I have a Madcatz steering Wheel too. It has the shifter and pedals and everything and yes it works for all three systems. Gamecube, PS2, Xbox, even PS1 I think.


I'm betting Maximus got this one. Link (http://madcatz.com/MadCatz/product_details.jsp?product_id=4520)

That's exactly the one I got! It doesn't show the foot pedals in that picture, but, I have those, too. It's sweet...the memory card holder/XBL plug in is on the top. I'm not sure about the Universal One that you got has.

By the way, since I just got this thing, how exactly do I calibrate it? I tried, but, I'm not quite sure if I'm doing it right...there are no directions in the box. I'm curious if you or anyone who has one might know. Thx!

Oh, let's see...for the Xbox I got nothing. :( But I figured it'd roll like that so I bought myself Arx Fatalis yesterday when I was shopping for my little bro. :D

I got a bunch of stuff for my van, some kitchen appliances I'll probably use all of twice, a huge basket of handmade chocolates and other yummies, a wet/dry shop-vac, an electric razor, and copped a GameBoy Advance (my little bro got an SP and hooked me up w/ his GBA :cool: ). Also just got about $800 worth of PC components from my other brother. Pretty sweet buncha stuff.

And Maximus, my little bro got PGR2 and that same MadCatz setup. Thing is DOPE! Serious. I don't think I could play a racing game again w/o one. I normally don't care for racing games, but that thing makes 'em just feel right.

Hope everybody's day was awesome. I'm stuffed to the gills, and gonna settle down to a couple of hours w/ my Xbox.

:cheers:

As promised, during my Christmas: Part Duex (at my in-law's house), I got:

No XBox stuff, however, I did get an amazing Craftsman tool box (huge red one with about 20 drawers and such. This thing must have cost a fortune!).

Also, I got two King Size pillows (needed badly), a few pairs of socks, a couple of sweaters, and a camping kit full of tons of stuff.

Good times...especially after about 3 rum and cokes, 2 glasses of Brut Cuvee, and a glass of Merlot :D :cheers:

RUM and Coke..... Awesome!!!

Had my share last night as well... One of my favorites! A friend of mine came back from Australia with an interesting drink (forgot the name) that has rum and coke already in a can... He saw it and brought 2 of them back for me... Its still in the fridge... I'm still deciding if I should drink it... Maybe at least one of them.

It's been great but it did have one problem.

I play a game of PGR2, race with it and it works fine. Then I click restart race and I can't shift up, only down. When I try to shift up it acts as a brake. (This is with the stickshift. The buttons on the steering wheel work fine to shift up). I haven't tried it on any other game yet as the only one I have besides PGR2 is Moto GP Demo. To get it to work proper I just quit race and do it again. Other than that it works fine. Any solutions guys?

hmmm...do you have the Mad Catz one? If so, there is a 5 year warranty on the steering wheel part (not the foot pedals). I'd replace it if I were you. There's my suggestion :)

Well i went out and bought the Mad Catz universal steering wheel even though nobody gave me info about it."cuss" My mom just went bring it back. It is a great steering wheel. Better than i could have imagined. Shifter, peddels and light up ganges are freakin own. My only problem is that it does not stay on my legs. This is the main reason i didnt keep it. But hey, if ya want a great steering wheel, get it. It's only $54 at walmart.

I am also thinking about a steering wheel. But it must work with xbox and ps2. Maximus, does yours only work with the xbox? i like the xecuter 2.3 it the best one i think that what most people have
