OK, I see what happened now. I didn't read the manual, so maybe this is covered there, but it's not completely intuitive, judging by what I saw at Zero Hour*. So Visigoth, tell me if I have this right:
Your profile can only exist on one device at a time. So it's impossible to have it on your HDD and a memory card at the same time - you'll have to remember to move your profile around if you need to take it with you. If you recover your gamertag on another device, your old profile will be invalidated and you will be unable to sign onto Xbox Live with it.
What I did wrong is that, in retrospect, I may have recovered the Gamertag before I signed on with the MU profile that had the additional achievements unlocked. That would have invalidated my profile so I would never be able to sign onto Xbox Live and get credit for those achievements.
So, with that in mind, be careful about where you recover your gamertag.
*At Zero Hour I saw lots of people sign in, play a game for a while, and then yank their memory card and leave without signing out, showing that they didn't really understand how the profile thing worked...you could tell by the "please reinsert memory unit" messages blinking on the monitor...

Ok so I took the advice of some friends and downloaded Windows Media Connect/upgraded to XP SP2. I posted this in another 360 thread, but I am SHOCKED at how easy the whole process is. Seriously, when my PC detected the 360 and when I went into the dashboard to play music and saw my entire mp3 collection available for streaming, I nearly shed a tear.

Does he mind that it won't play North American games and DVDs?
Check out what the PC tech gurus think about the 360 on This Week in Tech podcast (TWiT):
John C. Dvoark is hilarious: "I just got my Playstation 360..."
I started dieing after he said that. They start talking about the 360 about 11 minutes in. They praise the GUI alot and Dvorak says that Microsoft tried to make the 360 look Italian. :lol
Good times.

And even i am moderately surprised
they said the HDD pack would be 50k, but i knew that had to be a mistake
Turned out to be 64k.
Very impressed with the machine - the interface is just lush.
Transfering from XBL to this machine? SO easy.
If, like some people say, Sony will surpase this - i'll be VERY VERY impressed.
X360 interface : It's VERY high quality software.

Well, sony will NOT have a sexy looking guide/dashboard.....They'll do it exactly like the PSP "guide" or something like that. Too keep it familiar to both PS2, and PSP owners.DCharlie said:
I'll be surprised if Sony pulls off a software like XBL"360".....They just don't have the fucking time to do it....nor do they have the resource to do it. Yes, we've all heard that Sony started work on the Sony online service since the PS2 Online service came into fruition. But I don't think that's enough. They're not of innovative nature.
Besides, it was said that PS3 Online = PS2 Online. The only company that can try something like XBL or XBL"360" is......you guessed it: Nintendo.
But of course, It will be no suprise if Sony surpasses X360 in sales....I mean, for christ sakes! 200 million Playstation products worldwide! That's barely scratching the surface!

XP with service pack 2
Firewall switching off is not enough, Zone alarm was in the way.

Next friday, I will experience the xbox360 godness

ive experienced two bugs so far in two different titles
1. in madden playing two player. viewing the play by pressing the right trigger sometimes causes it to glitch and the routes start blinking and you cant hike the ball unless you tap the left and right trigger repeatedly
2. in pgr in online career if you try and push the center button on the controller while waiting for the others to join or the game to start, it locks the console and you have to manually reboot (as in get up and turn off the console)
not too upsetting considering i played all day yesterday about 12 hours with no other problems
PGR3 online is a dream BTW

I was talking with some folks on Live about this and someone mentioned that it was a bug with the dashboard and a patch was going to be released, but consider that 100% unconfirmed.
