I was able to get out today and get a new 360 from Best Buy. Unfortunately, I didn’t get one with the new quiet Benq/LG drive. I’m going to spend a good portion of the week playing Rainbow Six: Vegas, Lost Planet, and Gears of War… that is until I get Crackdown Tuesday afternoon. Look […]

I have been having some disc read errors on my new replacement 360 and I have examined the discs and they are perfectly fine, so I decided to give good old Xbox customer service a whirl. I call up and get the robotic voice called “Max” steers you through their crappy menus. The automated voice […]

OK so I bought a Wii stand that included the Controller Gloves and let me say they have to be the most retarded things I have ever seen. The Wii remote Gloves are pretty much condoms for the controllers and do nothing but give you a rubbery grip. Two huge detractions from them are the […]

Kotaku is reporting that the newly released Call of Duty 3 Valor Map Pack for the Xbox 360 just plain doesn’t fucking work. There’s 5 new maps in the pack, costing 800 MS Points and weighing in at approximately 800MB. The problem is, users can’t select the maps in the game. Anywhere. Yeah.
Let’s break this […]

I got a chance to take my Xbox in to Best Buy during lunch to see if I could get it replaced so I go to their “Geek Squad”. I wait there for ten minutes until a dysfunctional unsocialized “Geek” tells me that I need to go to the customer service line for an exchange. […]

I got a chance to play a bit of Splinter Cell and the game looks nice, a bit dark for my tastes, in fact so dark at times I had no clue where to go, but then again that is what night vision is for. You actually have an EMP gun to knock out electronics […]

I won’t rant on about it. I tried to make some comments in his blog entry, but they haven’t shown in over an hour.
What else can I say but what I have been saying…

Call center sucks, they make probably more than some gamers calling and know less about the products the gamers are calling about
QA […]

So I came home and fired up the PS3 to download some demos, notably Genji and Lemmings 2, from the PlayStation Store. Little did I know I would be in for a treat. Whenever I try to access the PlayStation Store form my PS3, I get some terrific error screens. I wonder what Sony has […]

Sony today updated the PS3 firmware to v1.30. It’s know that this “fixes” the problem with 1080i resolution on older HDTVs. Nothing else is known, since they haven’t put up a changelog yet on the website. After updates, I discovered that their “fix” is absolutely fucking retarded. Here’s what they did…
Before the update, the hierarchy […]

I should have known… I mean I read that it was going to be an uphill battle if I bought one… But did I listen? OF COURSE NOT!!! Reason being, that ms has done a decent job of coming around full circle to support its products. I picked one up on saturday, and had my […]
