With a new and improved BENQ DVD drive even.

My Xbox has been fixed

Marcus — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 11:09:35 +0000

… or replaced, hopefully the last. This is kind of surprising, I sent it a week ago and it’s already done now. I hope this is a sign that they just replaced it with a new model. Either way, I (…)

IT FUCKING HAPPENED AGAIN!

Marcus — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 16:03:58 +0000

I haven’t played Xbox very much in a while, but now Fallout 3 and Mirror’s Edge are finally out. Today when I turned on my Xbox this is what happened: I JUST BOUGHT MIRROR’S EDGE YESTERDAY FOR FUCKS SAKE! This (…)

Microsoft is generous

Marcus — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 09:59:25 +0000

About a week ago I received the wireless Xbox 360 controller I was promised. Yesterday, I received another one! Too bad I almost never play split screen multiplayer.

Ring of Death – Microsoft isn’t so bad after all

Ring of Death – Day 25

Marcus — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 18:09:23 +0000

I still haven't received my repaired Xbox 360 (missed the Halo 3 beta), and I should have it no later than tomorrow. Looks like I need to call customer support and whine. Crap.

Ring of Death – Day 5

Marcus — Tue, 22 May 2007 17:07:10 +0000

UPS picked up the console today, which means I should have it back before the 12th of June, so I’ll probably miss the Halo 3 beta. Do I feel stupid about buying Crackdown now? Yup.
