Just the same about being busy, HX. The "Why only 24 hours" question bugs me too :) And man do I love this October! So many wonderful games!

Seems that they edited the article about the E3 2005 Xbox 360 Faceplate as they jumped the gun saying it wouldnt fit. :roll:

EDIT: Looks like the Major says that the face plates work just fine. Looks like we tried to hook ours up to a production or debug unit rather than the final box. G4TV.com was wrong again. False alarm, thankfully. Still no excuse for dropping $800 on one though. Thank you, disprover.
I think the Major just eased a few peoples minds :lol:. Heres a link to the Majors article incase anyone is interested http://www.majornelson.com/2005/10/19/e3-faceplates-will-fit-the-xbox-360
