Hey all friends and those that have been tracking my up until now dead blog, I don't know what exactly pushed me to begin writing on my blog anew but I am definitely not in a good mood...
I mean Thanksgiving was great, I love it, it's probably my favorite holiday, but that is really not the issue... the issue at hand is, yes my Xbox 360.
Now I've been surprised at how well Microsoft has done with their second foray into the gaming world. It's no small feat but they are technically at the top of the heap (at least in my opinion) of the gaming world. Of course the Wii outsells everyone and their mother, but the lack of quality titles out for the Wii is disappointing. The PS3 has bounced back from an embarrassing first year to go toe-to-toe with the 360. If you've seen Gamespot's latest graphical comparison you can see the 360 is slightly on top, but in the end it's just nit-picking.... but I'm going off topic; my 360 is not working and for lack of a better word, this royally SUCKS!
This is my second Xbox and quite frankly I don't care if this is a totally new console or my old refurbished baby ( I don't really remember). And since it was shipped to my house it's been doing fine, though I do remember it would occasionally give me a message that the disc I was playing was unreadable, for whatever reason. But the real problem started several months ago when my 360 would inadvertently shut-off, giving me two read rings on the two left quadrants. This signals that the box is overheating, which is strange because the console is properly ventilated.
unfortunately I just recently found out the warranty was to expire (two days before it was to expire) and I didn't act in time to call customer support. Long story short, i have to pay $99 to get my box fixed... HELL NO!
Really MS the end of the warranty should apply to those who purchase a system after the end of the warranty, I don't care about the politics all I care about is gaming. I know you've lost enough money as it is, but this is just ridiculous that I can't play the three new games I just purchased. I'll either have to pay the money or buy a brand new Xbox.
And for the record, yes I do need a repair, and there is nothing I an do to fix this.... I've tried, and tried.... and tried again and again.
But anyway I'll see how I can get outta this one, if not, it'll be more blogging for me, and more Super Smash with my little brother. Tune in next time guys...
