Bought an Elite to replace my Pro

Well, my Pro died from the E74 bug and I didn't feel like getting it repaired again.  I got an Elite and I got the one with Forza 3 and Halo:ODST with it.  I am really loving Forza and I got to play some of the Reach beta but not any of the actual game.  I also picked up Red Dead Redemption today and I am really enjoying it so far.  I have finished up the Bonnie missions and I could not lasso a damn horse for my life for a good 20 minutes until I realized I was stupid and had to HOLD ONTO the Left Trigger after I threw it onto the horse.  Man, did I feel stupid about not figuring that out quicker.  Anyway, a good week so far and I am starting to put out applications for teaching jobs.
