    I really want to like ST. But I can never get over the lack of pockets in the ST universe. Seriously, cargo fatigues are no longer available in the future?

    Also, why does the entire upper-chain-of-command have to beam down to the planet surface/abandoned space ship to investigate every rogue distress signal? #bestofkotaku

    @newgalactic: It seems like Kirk and company are micromanagers. That ship has like, bazillions of crew but a handful of people take care of every issue. The federation needs to learn how to delegate.

    Pro tip: If you send the seller a question on eBay asking whether it's banned it could probably help.

    If they say it isn't and it turns out it is then you can take it to eBay and their protection scheme can probably sort it out. #usedxbox360

    This looks like a great idea. I've been playing a little Audiosurf lately, and as many have already stated, this looks to be in the same vein. Awesome. #musiclibrarygame

    @HeartBurnKid: Agent of R.O.A.C.H.: YES! I was trying to remember Audiosurf. You can so cheat at Audiosurf though...choose an ambient song with long loops and the track is a breeze. Metal...makes for some tough tracks at higher levels. #musiclibrarygame

    @smegz: True, but considering the scoreboard only ranks you against other people doing the same track... "cheating" that way does make it easier to get all the achievements, though. #musiclibrarygame

    If you buy a 360 on eBay, be sure to use PayPal. Then if the system is truly banned, you just have to file a claim with Paypal and they will definitely get your money back.

    I know this because I sell stuff on eBay all day. #usedxbox360

    Buying a used 360 is never a wise idea - that warranty may be needed. I've upgraded from my launch day units to HDMI units a few years ago, sold my launch units for about $100 a piece less than a new unit, and my warranty clock was reset.

    Now, apparently, I'm the only person to never have a true RROD, and still warranty three units (power failure during firmware upgrade, lightning friend one completely, took out the ethernet on the other). I would be out a ton of money if MS's warranty was not as good as it is. #usedxbox360

    Wait, did you just tell me to buy a new XBox because the failure rate "isn't that low"? That sounds like the opposite reason to buy something... Please clarify. #usedxbox360

    @valkilmerisawful: I think the point is that since xboxes are failure-prone, if you buy one it is good to have a warranty on it (or to just skip it and go for something more stable) #usedxbox360

    It's just in general not a good idea to buy a used 360 with RROD and warranty transfer issues. This only further cements that concept. #usedxbox360

    The least Microsoft could do is create a serial number checker on their website so that people can check if the serial number of their intended Xbox isn't banned. It's not so hard to run a database check vs another database is it? #usedxbox360

    There's an actual easter egg as found by Mass Effect fans. The same people who voiced Admiral Hackett and Captain Anderson make voice apearances, and a commanding officer just happens to be named Shepherd. Or, it could just be a coincidence. #photoshopcontest
