So.. I got the xbox 360 back a week or so after GTA IV was released. I pre-ordered it so I had the ability to look at the box before I got the xbox. So far so good its been working. GTA is a good game but there is something missing. When I played it on ps2 it was really good but on the xbox 360 there are little things. I think because it looks so good that you can actually see the problems with the game. Its little things nothing major wrong with the game. PS3 I am using basically for a blu-ray player. I downloaded the trial version of drake's fortune. The game looks great and plays great so maybe I am thinking of getting it at a good price. I also got mass effect for xbox which I canot wait to play also conan.

Ok.. so I got the red lights that signaled the end of my xbox playing for a bit. I call them at microsoft and they tell me in 4 days I should be playing again. In 4 days I get an empty box!!.. I call them back and then they tell me in 2 weeks or so I should be back to playing. This is wonderful!! seeing as how I bought GTA IV for xbox 360 I should have the game in time to look at it for another week before I get the system to play it. I wanted to buy a 2 yr extended warranty and all three people told me 3 different stories. Microsoft really has get its act together. I guess this is the reason why sony is scared of them.. haha. Also the constumer service rep told me that once I get the xbox 360 back it is "guaranteed never to break down again" Thats a direct quote from her. She must be nuts!!. I got her name so if this happens again I will be calling her again about it. This is a big mess that they should have taken care of in the first place. She had the nerve to tell me that this hardly ever happens to the xbox 360 and when I called her on it she had no idea what to say. It just gets me how a company so big as microsoft could allow something like this to happen. Its not like they had no idea this would happen. Their return policy is just as bad. When I took the $450 paperweight to ups the guy told me he got over 100 of these paperweights at his place. He told me it happens all the time crappy xbox. I got Oblivion for PS3 so I should be playing that for a bit. The game is really good but it takes forever to get any power. I probably just suck at it thats why it takes me so long.

What can I say ladies and gentleman.. I was playing bully on my xbox 360 and then all of a sudden it froze.. then I restarted it.. and it happened.. I saw the dreaded RED RINGS OF DEATH!!!... I was surprised because I never thought it would happen to me. I mean I played it once in awhile. I am hardly a hard core gamer.. weeks go by without me touching the xbox so I really never thought it would happen. Yet it happened and it was not cool. If not for the fact that my machine broke down in 9 months I would have had a $450 paper weight. How in the hell could a company release such an expensive machine and have it break down like that. I was thinking about all of the systems I have brought in my gaming life. I have bought them all.. xbox.. ps.. ps2..ps3... saturn.. sega master system...genesis... 3do..gamecube.. nes.. super nes.. and none of them I say none of them broke down. I never had a problem with any of those systems ever. This is the first time I have ever had any problems with any system. I will admit microsoft was very easy with handling the situation. As I am sure they have had a lot of experience with this system breaking down. Hopefully within the next few days I will have a new xbox 360 or at least when GTA IV cones out. Lucky for me I bought a PS3 so I have a system to play. I bought oblivion for it so its good. I have a good game that should keep me occupied for a bit. I have to say this is the reason why microsoft will beat sony. What with the whole HD-DVD fiasco to the whole red rings of death thing how could sony be afraid. They are probably sitting back laughing while they see all the problems that the xbox has. Not to say that this is a bad system but be real.. you pay $450 for a NEW system and when it get damaged due to them making it faulty they will send you a refurbished system.. what the hell is that!!.. horrible..

This movie seemed to be a vehicle to make longoria a movie star. What she was thinking making this movie is beyond me. The story is very silly and not even funny. Longoria plays a lady who is getting married but she is very controlling. On the eve...
