Broken Xbox

So my Xbox might as well be broken. The disk drive is literally eating my games. I've had Oblivion: Game of the Year Edition for a little over a week, and now my Xbox says it's unreadable, and the disk has huge scratches on the back of it. I've babied my games lately, so there was no way I, or anyone else, put the scratches on the disk. It's the Xbox that's destroying it.

So what does Microsoft do about this? My first Xbox had the Red Ring of Death, so they sent me a replacement. Now the replacement has a bad disk drive, and I guess my warranty ran out, so Bill Gates wants to take my $100 that I don't even have to fix it, while he's sitting on $55,000,000,000, soon to be 55,000,000,100. And of course, right after I buy my Xbox, they decide the warranty will be three years instead of one, and they only give the existing Xbox owners protection from the R-ROD. But, that's still cheaper than buying a brand new console, but not by much. A new Core console costs like $280, and a used is $180, so if I have to get more than one repair I'll be screwed. So really, why can't Bill Gates give a couple million to give lifetime warranties (or at least until the next Xbox is out)? There's no way you could ever spend $55 Billion, especially since Gates wears sweaters and sweatpants, not designer suits and such. I don't think he lives that lavishly either. As far as his Foundation for malaria, Warren Buffet gave him only $35 Billion. You'd think they'd be a lot farther than they are and that the workers would be volunteers.

I am personally angry about this. Xbox LIVE is the most user-friendly online gaming, the Xbox is the best console, so why can't they just give the ultimate experience?

Best game ever

Final Fantasy VII is the greatest game ever. The music is also rediculously amazing.

Anticipated Games

Just a pointless blog about games that I want and anyone else can add to the list and we can then vote on what is worthy and what isn't. I'm gonna go ahead and throw out Army of Two, Gears of War 2, Fable 2, Frontlines: Fuel of War, which is upon us, Too Human (I just saw the ad on here, looks interesting), and the Final Fantasy VII Tech thing (whatever it is that has been supposedly coming out on the PS3 since it was conceived.)

Game news

Recent news: Fable 2 and Gears of War 2. Gears 2 was recently announced, the gaming world rejoices, and awaits another flood of blood (no rhyme intended.) Fable 2's news is for co-op. Brilliant Idea, but instead of a henchman character, I say do that in private games, but for public stuff on Live, make it Mass Multiplayer. The game is already rediculously fun, I mean come on, you stun someone and you Flourish, their head flies off (decapitations are fun!) That's all, just thought I should speak my mind. Anyone who would like to share anything (if you're out there), go ahead, I would like nothing more than to talk about a ideas with a fellow gamer.
