Day of Reckoning

Today I'm expecting delivery of a few
small trinkets that I'll have to setup tonight...
I already transferred my Xbox Live Account into an Xbox Gold membership with 5000 points, made room in my home theater setup by moving the Wii, and changed out my power strips to allow for the extra outlets needed. I already had an XCM multi-game unit component switch so the connections are already setup. I even programmed my Harmony 880 remote control to have a setting for the Xbox 360 (mind you, I still don't have any of the above in my hands).
As usual, I ordered everything through Amazon.com.
UPDATE 9/1/07 7:25AM: Everything worked with the Xbox 360 setup the other day except for the HD DVDs. The drive was definitely a bad apple since it kept on "Reading" the discs, even the King Kong HD DVD it came with. A few times, I left the discs in there for up to an hour with it still "Reading." Long load times for HD DVDs I've heard of, but this was ridiculous. Yesterday I picked up another HD DVD drive at Best Buy (along with another wireless headset for the wife and another game, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion). Of course that one worked right away! It prompted for a software update, like it should, and all was well. Even the 300 HD DVD combo disc worked, which my research on the web indicated might be a problem disc.
