Can a standard HDMI cable work with both the Xbox 360 and PS3?

well actually my system wouldn't even turn on. I've had it, no more 360 games for me, except for GTA: Ballad of Gay Tony. I cancelled my CoD: Modern Warfare 2 reservation and I'm gonna buy it on PS3 now.

Yup, my 360 got the E74 error. At least now my repair is free 'cause it's under warranty. Well, I guess it's time for some F.E.A.R. Combat!

READ IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK. So let me start out by saying that I'm REALLY PISSED OFF! Alright. So, I was tracking my repair status on www.support.xbox.com and I kept thinking, "Oh my God! When is it gonna get here?!" So I decided to call 1-800-4MY-XBOX and ask for a UPS tracking number for my console. They give it to me and it says that it should be shipped later on in the day. So I'm thinking, "YEAH! FINALLY!" When UPS rings my doorbell, I get very excited. Then they hand me a large, white envelope addressed to me and I ask him, "That's it?" and he said yeah. So I get pissed off and like, "Where the **** is my console?!" I open it and it is the game Dirt and the note said that they are returning this to me first because this accessory was found in my X360 console during repair. I was thinking, "BULL****!!!!" because I never bought the game Dirt and when I shipped it my disc tray was empty. Now, my status on www.support.xbox.com says that my console was shipped, but I never got it. Last night I call 1-800-4MY-Xbox to see what was going on, They said that they received word that my X360 was shipped back to me. They told me that if not, it should still be in transit. They told me to wait this week and to hope that any 360 shows up. I think that my 360 got mixed up with someone else's. This is just straight up terrible customer service. I really regret getting a 360 and I should have gotten PS3. Note to the wise, if you don't have a next-gen system yet, get PS3 and if you have a 360, sell it and get PS3. I don't want anyone else to go through what I'm going through. They said that more than half of 360 have sent consoles back for repair, so it's bound to happen.

If I downloaded F.E.A.R. Combat and it runs well on my PC, does that mean that the full version of F.E.A.R. would run also?

Well, I called Gamstop asking about what's going oon with my 360. They said that its problems were not related to The Cooler. They told me that I have to mail it to Microsoft to get fixed. Since I had 2 red rings, which means it overheated, they stated that Microsoft should fix it for free, they'll even pay for the shipping. That's all because so many people have been mailing it to them with an overheating problem. If your 360 is one from launch-2007, it's probably defective, like mine which is a 2007 built system. It's all bull****. Why is Microsoft selling systems they know don't work?! I'm fed up with always having problems with my consoles. I'm saving up money to upgrade my PC so I can play games on it. So in maybe 2 weeks, I'll be playing Crysis. Let me know if any of you have it.

Oh, and I beat God of War 2. The game was great except for too many puzzles and the ending of the storyline left you hanging. Expect a review soon.

Has any one looked at the new Gamespot Beta? I think it looks pretty cool and more organized. Now there is no tabs on top of the profile, they are now links on the left side. Even the game pages look different. If you haven't seen it, go to beta.gamespot.com instead of www...

I bought Burnout Revenge for 360. This racer is so crazy and intense. It's definitely a must have for racing fans.

Second I bought the movie Shooter. This is easily the best action movie in recent years. This is Mark Wahlberg's best role yet.

Third I bought Judas Priest's CD Screaming for Vengeance. I bought this C L A S S I C metal album remastered with bonus tracks. Once again, this is a must have.
