Pete, you say not to ship the hard drive? Good to know. What was the cause of yours and cost for repair? Too bad about no HDMI, I was wondering same thing. It would be nice!
When you get the email which links to the printable label for UPS ground, you'll also receive info on what to do with your 360. In short, do not include any cables or the hard drive.
As for cause... what, you think Microsoft actually bothers with communication? Craxyhead. I never learned the cause and I don't think they did either. They probably took one look at the note I included with the box and decided it was cheaper to replace it than spend a week testing it.
As for cost, I bought the extended 3 year warranty with my box, so it cost me zero.
D says, "I don't know if I can afford Disneyland on your birthday... I kinda got drunk and did something stupid on Ebay last night."
We're getting a wii! Hey, I've been to Disneyland, but I've never played a wii. We have Zelda and Metroid coming. Wii owners, what are your favorite games? (I don't think I can afford wii fit... yet.)
Today's bewildering Xbox Live encounter: I made a new rock band av named "Tommy Snake." (He's punk.) Live banned the name as not family friendly. At least they allow my gamertag (ZoneWombat) which they used to block.
I guess a band named Hole would be unpossible then.
Laga,
Wing Island
is a simple but fun flying game for the Wii. The storyline is written for 7-year-olds, so skip through that part, but the flying is pretty good.
Okay, it's lame that the character string "snake" gets blocked, but if they blocked your gamer tag for the reason I think they did, that's super-lame. I'm glad they unblocked it.
At least I can understand why they blocked one of my band names. Long live Timeshare Vagina.
I wonder if they'd let Toad the Wet Sprocket through.
Laga-- Try Raving Rabid Rabbids 2. It's snarky and fun to play. You cna get used versions in eBay for not too much money.
Yeah, I think it was blocked for "womb" too...lame. Esp. Since I had to battle "peanus munchers" today.
In other game news, we test-drove our rpg based on Supernatural yesterday. Worked pretty well.
