New console

Dastard and I bought our first 360 console April 2006 and had to get it replaced in November of the same year.  Coffin sent and refurbished returned.  That box lasted until June 7.  Called xbox support to get the path started towards repair.  Yes, I tried to do the online repair, but there was a glitch somewhere in th system and  couldn't get the box registered so I called and talked with "Ryan."  Called again last night when I got home from my latest assignment since we hadn't recieved the shipping label.  This time I talked with "Max."  Max said they didn't have my email so they didn't send the label.  Fine.  Done.  Dastard and I start reading the FAQs and realize that we are past warranty and would probably have to pay to get the damn thing fixed.  Well, hell, why not get a new arcade for a $100 more and get the 2 yr warranty from BB?  Cause we all know how long the refurbished ones may last. 

Wow, the first "date" Dastard and I have had a chance to go on and we end up at Best Buy.  I sense Deja vu.  Anyway, new console is hooked up and running.  The biggest difference is the noise, or lack thereof.  This thing is "QUIET".  Very nice.  The only problem is that it is not backward compatible with the original xbox games, so no Halo or Halo 2.  No problem.  My little library is mostly 360 games and I really never play H2.

Now I have no excuse to not play with the Cabal/PCP mixer tonight!  This could be interesting.....

Keep on Go!
