First of all, Hello Again! I decided to check back on gamespot see how it was doing ya know , I have been away for while now but have been keeping myself up to date with all the latest from the videogame world. Firstly I updated my game lists and have got some new games and have put in all of my favourite upcoming games. Secondly I'm still with the 360 and I still have xbox live my gamertag is SNiP3R SKiLLZ x feel free to add me . Also e3 is going on at the moment and there is loads of new stuff coming out of there. The future of gaming looks bright indeed! and now I bid you farewell but fear not for I will now be more active than I have been recently, see you around

So, as you should know from my last blog my xbox 360 died on christmas day However seeing as i was out of warranty and didn't want to fix it myself or send to microsoft and wait ages, I decided to just buy a new one. Good job I had enough christmas money! so i now have a brand new one and a broken one. Apparently some people in the UK can fix them cheap, easy and quick so i might give that a try. I have nothing to lose I suppose and if it works I can sell it on and make a profit hehehe. also HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!

Firstly, Merry Christmas everyone! hope you all got what you wanted because unfortunately I didn't. On christmas day I was sitting down to enjoy the new games I had recieved for my Xbox 360 when after 10 minutes of playing, small black squares appeared on the screen. In a state of panic I jumped up and quickly turned of my Xbox 360 and back on again. Unfortunately when I turned it back, 1 red flashing light appeared on the front of the console. HARDWARE FAILURE! I thought that it couldnt possibly have happened but there it was on the screen, an error message - E74. This apparantly means that the scaler chip in my xbox console has been taking to much heat and that the soldering on it has come loose Stupid 360 design flaws, they just cant cool down. I rang the retail store that I purchased it from and seeing as it was just over a year ago that I bought it, my store warranty is no longer valid. However my Microsoft warranty of 3 years is, which means that I will probably have to send it off for repair. As soon as they pick up the bloody phone that is. Seriously I have been on hold for about half an hour now Anyway, Merry Christmas!
