Suicide Missionary Accomplished

Gears of War 2
I got my 360 back. I got a new 360 back. I got a refurbished used 360 back. Set it up. Played some trials and demos I missed.

You can't use any content you downloaded when your offline unless you re-download them. I have a 120g hard drive with less than a gig free so that's gonna take a while.

And apparently you can't play games from the hard drive unless you re-download that as well. So I have the game on my hard drive and I have the game on the disc but can't play it because the 360 is different? Exactly what "crime" is this even supposed to prevent? And unlike the downloaded content they don't even tell you about this. I found out because I heard my disc spinning.

So I deleted and then re-installed Gears 2. I was pretty close to the end so it took me about a day to finish. I had one achievement left that I wanted to get. And with it came a new gamerpic.

I had this game for 4 months and Burnout Paradise for 2 months which means I payed 60$ for Games I couldn't even play.

790/1750 g. Online Achievements Suck. DLC Achievements Suck Worse. Back to Burnout Paradise.

PS2, PS2, Does whatever 360's Do

Spider-Man PSX
Since my 360 is gone I broke out my PS2. Played through Spider-Man for PS1 in a few hours. Bad graphics look so much worse in 3d.

It's funny to me how everyone comes down on Microsoft for making such a bad console while I play my 3rd PS2. Does no one remember the massive amount of disc read errors the PS2 had? It probably influenced my decision to jump from the Sony ship. Well, aside from the game lineup and the fact that most of my friends have 360's. But now it seems that the disc read errors have jumped ship with me.

I'm also listening to Chatterbox, KChat, VCPR, and WCTR on old GTA Games. And I'm still missing the Sandking.

Xbox 3Shitty

Xbox Avatar PictureI finally sent in my 360 for repairs. I tried to do it earlier but apparently UPS closes at 4:30 pm on Saturdays and doesn't open on Sundays. Not only did the people at UPS say they get 360's all the time but they have a specific "Xbox box" that you buy. There are literally two items on my receipt that say "Xbox" for the shipping and "Xbox Pack"for the box. UPS must be making tons on us.
