The world is a cruel, dark place where stuff sucks AND blows!

Our Xbox 360's video card died this morning. Please, a moment of silence.





Thank you.

I didn't tell Barry about the problem until after I called Tech Support. Long story short, $99 to fix. Apparently having to turn a machine in TWICE for the red ring means dick. >_< He cursed for a bit, then said that he wanted to buy another one tonight. O_O! No wonder he's always in debt. But it's his money and his console, so he can do what he wants. I've already resigned myself with the fact that I'll be paying for the wedding/honeymoon. He'll never accept my guidance when it comes to bills. Good thing I've insisted on separate bank accounts.

I think, when I have the cash (haha) I'll get the unit repaired myself so we'll have two boxes in the house. That way we can both play games instead of waiting for the tv to be freed up. It can wait though. Bills come first.

Btw, wish me luck. My interview is today at 1pm. cassandramorgan, how did yours go?

Gimped? You mean the 'Arcade' edition. Why they don't call it the core model anymore is anyone's guess.

Yes, that's another option you guys have that might be better then buying an all new console.

Kotaku has a link to the price drop, it will occur very soon if the flier is correct.

I dunno about the price drop. It looks like it was supposed to happen a month ago, but when I go to BestBuy's site, it's still $350 for the Pro.

[broccoman.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is now. But when advance fliers go out and get leaked early, about 90% of the time it happens. Besides, Radio Shack gets their stuff leaked all the time, since they're not too bright as a company.

It's no wonder they're going down the tubes.

Gamestop had signage up when I went there tonight. The manager also mentioned that there's a rumor of a $100 price drop right before Christmas.

[broccoman.livejournal.com]

Don't believe that. Doubt they'd drop price that fast.

Then again I may be selling my 360 if the rumors are true and the next VF is a PS3 exclusive.

Only reason I have a console is Virtua Fighter really.

We're not bothering with the PS3. There's nothing on it that we really want.
