Red Ring Of Death Strikes!
I had a mostly good weekend, till tragedy struck. Saturday was a nice day, and after taking in Sammy's bike to get fixed after I ran over it with the car, we all went for a nice bike ride. Later we headed off to see Indiana Jones, which was....eh, it was ok. Weak script, good action. Sunday was nice for a while, then you may have heard of the tornadoes and hail and all of that. That all missed us by literally 1 mile, as it didn't even rain here but rained at the target up the road. I did finally pick myself up a PSP, and that night geeked out the remote play function with the PS3. However, that apparently caused my home to reach some sort of Omega Point, console wise, as that's when my launch Xbox 360 decided to Red Ring on me. I figured it would have happened much sooner than this, to be honest, but I'm not exactly happy about it either way. Especially when you hear all the horror stories of people on their third unit or whatever. Luckily, it should still be covered under the 3 year warranty extension. Still, it lasted this long, which is something. I guess. Techware Labs starts us off with the mStation Orb 2.1 Stereo TechpowerUp goes hard hitting with the Gelaskin for iPhone. Or not.
