question for you 360 guys, when I go to connect my roomies 360 to the marketplace and make an xbl account it tells me I have a month free of gold waiting so I stopped as we wanna save that for Sept. Do I have to activate the 1 month right then or can I opt not to use it yet and download demo's and stuff before activating it later? Or do I have to activate it before I can get to the marketplace? tia

^ exactly. I might D/L a movie if it's impossible to find or something, but if it's a good movie, it's definitely worth buying. You can't beat the quality of Blu Ray with a download. Quote:

On the topic of Blu Ray quality, how are the online blu-ray rips compared to the real blu ray discs we find at the store?

I'd say they tend to end up about halfway between DVD and BluRay
