However I fully expect to hear from every fan of the video game characters that didn't make the list. Because let's face it, there are more than five good video game characters. So let your thoughts be known, but try to be gentle.
And among your comments, be sure to answer the lame prize question.
The answer to last week's lame prize question was: RIM BlackBerry Bold
I mentioned this on Buzz out Loud and a fistful of people wrote in and called to remind me that Microsoft fixed that issue a while back. Here's how to activate background downloads.
Go to My Xbox
Choose system settings
Then console settings
And go down and select shutdown
Then select Background Downloads
And select Enable.
Now when you turn off your Xbox, downloads will continue in a low-power mode until the download completes.
Hope that makes your downloading on the Xbox a little more convenient.
We talk about the Game Developers Conference, laptops, and more with Dan Ackerman.

This week's Top 5 has a lot of free stuff. First and foremost, it contains Jason Parker of Download.com's Top 5 best free iPhone games. That alone would be enough, but we don't stop at enough. Watch the video and you will receive instructions on how you could win a slightly used 3D puzzle of an Imperial Star Destroyer. And just in case you think that would be enough, it's signed by Molly Wood.
After you watch the video, come back here to this blog post and you'll know what to do. Do it right and you'll be int he running for the puzzle. As soon as we have 10 qualifying posts below, we'll announce the winner right here in this post. Best of luck!
WE HAVE A WINNER
Say congratulations to Hacker5849 who correctly guessed Jelly Car. I can't believe more folks didn't get it. I dropped a big hint in the video! Best of luck to y'all next time.
So watch the video then come back here to see some of the ideas we didn't use in the top 5.
