Second red ring of death you say? Yes... This is because this has happened before. The first one lasted almost a year before it bricked on me. I bought it at Circuit City and didn't by their protection plan at first and the lady said I had 30 days to do so. I soon then changed my mind when I heard motorboat noises come out of the 360 when playing DeadRising.
Sure enough not much longer the 360 starts freezing and then finally bricks on me with a red ring giving me the evil eye. So I sent it all back and they sent me a refund via gift card.
Not long after purchasing the 360 from C&C music factory, I get almost the same symptoms, freezing, then get a checkerboard like screen, and that's the 360's way of saying his last words before he dies. This box actually only lasted about 4 months before dying. This time though, it's actually free to repair by MS, but I seen the email says it takes 4-6 weeks to get it back... WTF? I surely hope not, because I might start a riot if I don't get to play BIOSHOCK the first day it come out! Shit I'll go loco if I don't get it before the demo comes out! Yes, the demo is coming very soon, and I'll let you know for sure when. If I don't get my xbox by then, please tell me how it is! Maybe you can record the gameplay while your playin it? Yeh I'm a little hyped about the release..... it's definitely my most awaited game of the year thus far.
I just got back from Madison and stayed up there for the weekend to hang out with my friends, and also for my friends B-day Katie. Only 24 years old... man I remember when I was that young, now I'm almost ready to get gag presents like fart pills and over the hill coffee cups. we got a barrel for the party and meat and corn on the grill and ice cream cones in the freezer, now that's what I call a fucking PARTY! I had a pretty good time when I wasn't working. I pretty much spent 75% of my 3 day weekend setting up Nicks new computer and new plasma 50 inch hdtv. getting all the software installed, the crap the added uninstalled, virus protectors, bookmarks,browsers, routers, all that fun stuff!
My friend Nick has always been outdated in the computer department.... you know, has a 56k modem and a shit pc that makes a high pitch noise that makes cats and babies throw up, when you turn it on. And also that piece of shit computer only would stay on for less than 5 min, before you got to hear the pleasant noise and it would just freeze up.
But finally he went all out; he got a new pc, a new plasma, and now is living the good life with a cable modem. So he has A LOT of catching up to do on the internet, and the whole family will be entertained for life! You don't realize how much you use the internet until your without it and need to know something. Just like my damn 360! Microsoft knows the 360 has a design flaw that makes some xbox's fugg up and brick, hence the new 3yr warranty. If they didn't have so many great games and those damn addictive achievement points I would just say fuck it and get a different console.
I find myself seeing a game that's on every console I own, but one has achievement points so I go for the 360 version. I own a Wii right now too, but I find myself playing the xbox 3x more than the wii. Right now at the moment it's because there's no games out right now, but that soon will change, but the 360 has such a great lineup this year that I will be definitely gamin it up hard the rest of this year! what a line up and what a treat what a treat!
While I'm awaiting for my 360 to be fixed, (and hopefully updated with the new heatsink placement away from the motherboard) I still have a handful of games that need my attention to beating, so that will definitely keep me busy like Bizzy B! Right now I'm in the middle of playing Scarface: The World is Yours for the wii. That game is pretty kewl, and has a ton of voice overs from celebrities we all know. Before checking it out, one gamesite game it a great score while the other one game it a lame score so I had to see for myself and me likes. Has a kinda GTA feel to it while enhanced scarface style, and looks like they put some effort into creating the game. So I have that and paper mario and shit, I still have to beat zelda as well! I also have God of War 2 i'm playing at the moment and Bully. That is until I found out that Bully will be ported to the Wii and 360 so, that game is on pause at the moment until I buy it for 360... so I get more achievement points ha ha! They'll be upping up the graphics as well too, so good for Rockstar that game is a good one.
Well peeps that own 360's, that gives you a chance to get a little ahead on some achievement points while I'm out for the count right now. The closest person closest to me is my bro, by the gamertag of FARTBURGER. he claims he will be doubling his points now that his is moved out of the parents house. We will see Jason..... We will see. I'm challenging you all to get more points and to try and get more than me. Congrats to Jason and Emily for getting a nice lil place to live and for Jason for getting the Fuck outta the danger zone we call my parents house. One day that will happen for me... again. On the news side, I'm going to be posting links on my site instead of mailing out stuff for the time being and see how it works out, just to test it out and see how it goes. I wrote a lil extra this time because I've been outta town.
Thanks for reading and see you on the flipside!
