OXM January 2006 and Disc 53 Discussion (Playable Full Auto Demo)
I might try to make this a monthly post about each issue, but we'll see how it goes. I'll update this with more information as I go along.
Disc #53:
New to the discs is a point system similar to achievements (but they don't actually add to your Gamer Score). Each disc has 1000 "OXM Points" that are obtained by watching all the videos and playing all of the demos. Earning all these points unlocks the hidden content on the disc. The points carry over from disc to disc and you have an "OXM Level" now as well.
Playable X360 Demos: Full Auto, Kameo, Peter Jackson's King Kong
Playable Xbox Demos (Not playable on the X360): Full Spectrum Warrior: Ten Hammers, Peter Jackson's King Kong
Videos: Call Of Duty 2, Gears Of War, Honda Civic Commercial, Kameo, Operation Flashpoint: Elite, Prince Of Persia: The Two Thrones, Project Gotham Racing 3, Ridge Racer 6, Shadow The Hedgehog, Tony Hawk's American Wasteland

Interesting Info:
Xbox Live Card:
All subscribers to Xbox Live Gold will receive an Xbox Live Card after the holidays, so make sure your home address is up to date in Microsoft's system. This card is going to give you discounts and promotions at a bunch of different retailers and restaurants. They are supposed to be adding a lot of companies to the list, but here is what is listed so far:
Barnes & Noble.com
Costco Wholesale
Dish Network
Golfsmith: Golf & Tennis
Lee Dungarees
Timberland
Steve Madden
Ticket Deals
Passport Lifestyle
Seems like it could be a nice little perk.
