Waiting on a Dream....well Actually just Future Shop

Holy Crap....did you feel that!? The whole stopped time thing that just happened...I think it's been like a year or something....wow.....yeah... I'll stop.

So how about that nothing since forever with the blogging. Well if you missed my stuff I'm sorry, I didn't have the time or interest, more so the latter.

How about I welcome you back to my life with some current events recap and the such.

Since October my 360 has been in and out of the shop...the Future Shop. My box started to scream and slow down as well as freeze so I took it in to the Shop. So here's my policy: If the product requires more then 3 repairs it will be replaced, Each time it is in for repair they have 60 days to repair it.

First Turn In:
Box Status - Slow, glitching, Chronic Freezing, screaming fans (...and not the good kind), and random loose piece rattling inside, otherwise in good condition

58 days later, Received Status: Still loud fans, Scuffed Case, Original box is "fucked up", Freezing reappears in a week, and so does the rattle (yeah I don't know how a rattle reappears).

After realizing they fixed nothing, I attempted a swap with another 360, turns out it has the 3 red lights of death. That is the state I turned the box over to Future Shop. They know it could not be fixed without being refurbished by Microsoft. They still send it in for repair, I was unable to convince them to give me a new one.

Second Turn In: 3 weeks after received
Still waiting on return....they have less then a month...

So thats that drama....I want my fucking box back....

I have purchased Lost Planet, Superman Returns, Arcade unplugged, and Table Tennis since my box has been gone....and I was in the middle of Viva Pinata when it started to die again.

Never buy anything expensive at Future Shop. Get it at Wal-mart of Costco....you say there is something wrong, they toss it and give you a new one.

Anyways...ya so when I can play games I will give you sufficient reviews....I might think up some for the Wii games I have played on my friends system...Wario is awesome.

Until Next.
