Or at least i will be by the time you read this.
Gonna be in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, till next weekend for a workshop that i have to attend. Flight’s leaving in a coupla hours. Not sure if i’ll have regular internet access there. So Angelbaby will probably be taking over the updating duties.
In other news, check out my XBOX Gamercard and note the number of days since i last logged onto XBOX Live. Because that’s the number of days since my XBOX 360 BRICKED.
Got the dreaded 3 red rings of death, which i never thought would ever happen. Error code 0020. Error code 0020 my ass! It was a Japanese launch console. Remind me never to buy first gen products again.
Alright i’m off!
first, peace 1 justin

Got the three red lights last week.
Luckily Virgin Megastore UK had a 12 month instore warranty and exchanged it no problem. They even let me switch out the hard disc.

KL is cool. Not much to do in the “fun department” (AKA Booze and ready/willing girls) but loads of cheap goodies everywhere. Have a good trip bitch

Hence, why I never ever buy first gen 😛 And have no sympathy for those who do.

Sucks to hear about your 360. Oh the irony of automated posting…
Have a good trip.

Just watched a video of a person who’s 360 had a 3 red light death and he wanted to show how hot the 360 ran, so he cooked an egg on the heat sink. It also boiled water on contact.
Found it!:

No Gears of War on launch day… I feel deeply sorry for you..
So far my launch console hasn’t broken.. Let’s hope it stays that way…

I was going to buy a 360 an hour ago to get ready for the gears of war, but I held off to see if Gears really is as good as it looks so far.
Have they changed production at all since launch, to avoid the 360 doing a 180 and going rings up?

au contraire #11…
“At last count, nine Xbox 360s that belong to IGN editors have completely crashed. Two editors, Hilary Goldstein and Jessica Chobot, have had two systems go kaput.”
but…but
we know that can’t be true, cuz as Justin will tell anyone who will listen, there’s no such thing as girl gamers!

#12 Justin’s right!
There are no girl gamers at IGN – there’s barely any gamers at all at IGN as it is. IGN just hired them to look good for their “babes” channel.

We need more Jessica Chobot, AngelBaby. Get to work!
