A Letter to GS

So it seems that it I didn't need new component cables. I bought those today and got the same problem, no picture all I get is sound. I called M$ today and I eplained the situation to customer support, they had me go through a couple of steps just to make sure that it wasn't my t.v. that was causing the issue. The lady then told me that I needed to send my console to M$ and that I needed to purchase a warranty to cover for the fixing of my xbox360. The warranty lasts for 1 year and I have to pay $99 bucks to get it, after paying they would send me a box.... yeah I've heard of this process, sometimes it can take awhile for the box to get to my house and sometimes it can take awhile for them to send you another console. So I'm probably gonna get rid of a psp and a few games to help me get the money to cover for this, this won't be much of a problem, because I have more than one psp. But in the meantime, looks like I'll be dealing with my DS and my PS3.

On a side note I sold Mass Effect awhile ago, I think I got around $33 dollars in store credit for it. Well today I found a copy of it for $26, I thought this kind of odd considering there was a bunch of other used copies of it going for $37.99. Well I couldn't pass that up so I purchased it, again.

So I purchased two new games today and those were DS games. I figured that I let my DS sit around for long and that it was time for me to start playing it again. The games were called: "Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja" and "Izuna: The Unemployed Ninja Returns." I didn't think I would get the first game, because I always call in or check the gamestop site before going out to purchase a game from there. Well I checked online and It only had "The Unemployed Ninja Returns" listed as available in my area. I figured that I would just pick up a copy of that and try my luck at getting the first on online. So after a bit of searching the DS section I came across the first one, it didn't have the original game case, so I was alittle disappointed. Well I'm gonna try these games out here in a bit.

As mentioned in my previous blog, I told you guys I was getting SCIV and that I needed component cables, well I found some compnent cables at eb games for $14.99. I'm not sure how good they will work and for how long they will work, but $14.99 is better than $39.99, right.? As for SCIV, I'm hoping to get a copy of it within a few days from now.

Well as for the users who commented in my last blog I'm still getting around to commenting blogs, so if I missed your blog, don't worry I will comment on it. I hope guys/gals are doing well.

Well a few things happened since my last blog, but not nothing to be to excitied about. The first thing is that my cousin came over to vist me, he doesn't live far away from me. But during that vist he brought over Rock Band and two guitars. Well as he was leaving he told me that I could have Rock Band and both of the guitars, which came as a shock to me because I was wondering why he was giving me a game that he played alot. Turns out that he was having problems with his disc so he bought a new copy, afterwards the old copy started working again. So I guess I got lucky that he gave it to me, instead of one of his friends.

Well after almost two years of being faithful something happened to my xbox360. No not the RRoD, in case you were wondering. The Component Cables just quit working, all I get now is sound. I was playing the Madden 09 demo when it happened, I think it's the EA curse. It's $40 bucks to get a new set and right now I don't have any extra money to spend. The current money I have saved up, is for SCIV. But I might wait until later to buy it and just get the component cables now.

Well that's it from me, I hope you guys/gals are doing well.

Virtually There: E3 2008 The Big Three Conferences
For tuning into GameSpot's E3 2008 live broadcast of all three of the manufacturer press conferences (Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft) on July 14-15. That's dedication.

That's what my ex-wife called me - cold fish
These users fought hard to catch one day of GameSpot's E3 2008 live stage show. Much like sushi, watching game coverage is an acquired taste. We just wish we would have seen more of this person.

Anyone else get any of these? If you haven't and you watched the event it might take some time before you get your emblem, my nintendo emblem came just a few minutes ago.
