    Yeah, I loved the NFL Head Coach for the original Xbox, so finally got around to buying NHL HC 09 back in May. Spent hours yesterday going through the off-season. Currently in the middle of preseason. May some huge gains on defense in free agency.

    Fixed it for ya.

    I played it a bunch when it first came out (bought the set that had both it and Madden in it). Sadly, I didn't play it as much as I wish I had but it was definitely interesting for it's time.

    That's what happens when trying to post at 1:30 in the morning.

    Yeah, it's a fun game. Actually ended up following the Broncos real life 2008 draft for the first two rounds. Ended up with Ryan Clady in the first round and Eddie Royal in the second. I was also able to snag Felix Jones in the second round, also got Josh Johnson, QB from San Diego in the 6th to be Jay Cutler's backup, among others.

    And thanks to around 50 million in cap space, I was able to make some big improvements to the team through Free Agency. Picked up Jordan Gross at LT (21 OVR upgrade), Justin Smith at RE (16 OVR upgrade), Michael Boley at LOLB (14 OVR upgrade), Lance Briggs at ROLB (24 OVR upgrade).

    Picked up Asante Samuel for my CB2 and Randall *** for CB3 behind Champ Bailey (CB2 was Dre' Bly at 77 and had no one for CB3) to give my CB corps a huge improvement. Also got Eugene Wilson to take over at FS1 in the future for John Lynch as he's going to potentially end up as trade bait this first season or will probably retire within a few seasons due to age. And still have around $10 million left in cap space. So already off to a great start.

    I might have to give it a whirl again though I really need to finish Catherine first. I'm so close to beating it, I just haven't taken the time to finish it yet (mainly, because it's VERY hard now as I'm on the last few stages and they take some serious thought to actually beat).

    Wow. I read an article a few minutes ago where a bunch of people were having random points show up in their Live accounts. I go online to look and see that I've had 1,560 MSP added randomly to my account, so I hurried up and bought From Dust in case it's a mistake. I'd check it out at the very least as lots of people are reporting similar additions.

    I had the exact same amount of points added I think....I was a hair under 3000, now I'm at 4360.

    It's a definite mistake, so I'd use them immediately. I even figured out what they did by looking at my statement. I had 260MSP coming to me because of the rewards program, and for some reason, they added 260MSP to my account 6 times.

    I'm guessing that's it....Mors did you not join XBOX Rewards? I bought From Dust with it too problem is I still have 2900 points left...so I could get the screws.

    Since I joined December 2010, I have earned 800 points lifetime for answering a monthly survey and spending some points....not too shabby for not really doing anything.

    Yeah, same here. I'm just a shade under 800, I believe. It's a nice little program considering I would've bought all the stuff anyway.

    I don't know if they would actually do that, but I guess it's possible. I imagine a lot of people would be awfully pissed if they took the points away, even if it was a mistake. If you think about it, it's a pretty huge ass mistake, assuming it happened to all the rewards members. It equates to about $15 per person, and you're talking at least a million or two people...Ouch.

    According to Joystiq, Microsoft is "investigating."
