  Fun with 360, and selling the PS3.....

  Well, I've had my 360 for a week, and I'm enjoying it a ton.....again. I only have Gears 2 and Fable 2 right now along with a ton of Arcade games I had already bought. I'll be getting FNR4 next week and when my PS3 sells on amazon, I'll have a deent 255 to spend on some more 360 games.

  I got my coffin back from Sony today. Surprisingly, they gave me a brand new console. I would actually keep it, but the only problem is that ultra craptastic 90 day warranty. I can't deal with having to pay another 161 bucks to get it repaired if the new one dies, so I'm selling it. I really liked the PS3, but it was time to sell it. I at least have some piece of mind with the 360 that when it breaks down, I still have a super long warranty, and when I get my replacement, I'll have a fresh 3 year warranty on that, and repairs will be free.

  I actually did a head to head comparison with 360 and PS3 yesterday, and for me, the 360 killed the PS3. I'm real happy with my decision, but I wish Sony would just give me a new damn warranty on my new PS3. I got too sick of their crap. The 360 has better online although it's pay to play, but that's alright. I have a few months already paid off. When it comes down to it, the PS3 had really nothing over the 360 to make me want to keep it, not even the few exclusives that really interested me. And after Activision apparently doesn't want to support the PS3 anymore, it's just kind of like "Wow, if devs have given up on the PS3, that's pretty pathetic....."

  New 360 and Amazon problems..........

  Well, I ordered my new 360 on amazon today. I got an Arcade system and bought the 60gb Live bundle, and got both for about 290 combined, that way I essentially get a 60 gb Pro console and 3 free months of Live. I also got Fable 2 new for 26 dollars and Gears 2 for 28. I was planning on getting another game, but for some reason, Amazon.com decided to give a buyer, whom I just shipped my last PS3 game too, a refund for their purchase. Now I'm gonna have to deal with all the BS involved with getting the buyer's card re-charged after they get the wrongly given refund back.

  I called Amazon and told the rep that they issued a refund to this buyer, and that I just shipped the game. So essentially the buyer gets a game and a refund. The rep, although it was Amazon's fault, told me I'd have to get in touch with the buyer and they would have to call Amazon customer support and request that they re-charge them. I don't know why Amazon.com can't just nullify the refund themselves, saving me a lot of hassle and undo stress.

  At least I'm getting a new console. I'll be getting the new Mos Def album as well. Sony has sent my coffin for the PS3 in the mail, and when I get it back, I'll put it up for sale on Amazon with a bunch of extras and crap. Tired of Sony's BS........

  Now all I have to do is wait for Fight Night Round 4, until then it'll be lots of Fable 2, Gears 2 and arcade games along with lots of beer and bbq for the next 2 weeks, and my summer will have officially hit another level. I believe my summer will hit Super Saiyan level 7 lol........

  Jumping the fence back to 360 land........

  Well, Sony kind of bent me over a barrel. After having 2 PS3s break after excellent care, then being forced to pay 161 dollars to have the second POS repaired, I'm done.

  I still think the PS3 is the superior console, but I'm willing to sacrifice a few really cool exclusives for a more reliable system. I know it sounds weird, and it's the exact reason I got a PS3 in the first place, but it's true. The Xbox 360 will probably break, BUT I have the assurance that I'll get a replacement back within a couple weeks, I'll have a fresh 3 year warranty (for RROD at least, I'll probably buy an extended warranty), and I won't have to pay out the ass because they made a shoddy product.

  Besides, I've gotten caught up with the Sony Fanboyism lately that I never actually looked at all the cool titles coming out for 360, and so many titles are multiplats anyway.

  To be honest, I just want a system to play FNR4 on and not have to worry about my 3 month warranty expiring.

  I've made some cool e-friends on PSN, but it's time to go back to the 360.
