So, about the XBox. I go to the store, tell them the story. They take me upstairs with the 360 Elite that I bought and we plug it into a TV's HDMI input. It works. My TV, thus, is the problem. I need to get someone to fix it. The XBox Live Gold Membership for a month card that should've been in the box, however, was not my fault. After calling tech support (1-800-4-MY-XBOX) and the retailer assistance line (1-800-FIX-XBOX) we deduced that Futureshop's distributor was not packaging the cards with the systems. So how do they satiate me?
Supervisor - "Well how much is a year's subscription?"
Attendant - "About $60."
Supervisor - "So $15 off?"
Me - "Yeah, sure."
I also switched my Elite for a Premium so that I don't have to bother with HDMI, and because I don't think I'll really need the 120Gb drive. I won't be putting much on the drive other than save files and the occasional download. Some people download tons of arcade games and music and I don't even know what. I'm far from that kind of crazy.
So, I made off with a pretty sweet deal.
My neighbour lent me Halo 1, 2, expansion maps for 2, Doom3, and Forza Motorsports for XBox. The console was packaged with Forza Motorsports 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance (which promises to suck). I also bought Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, which I found for $29 at Zellers.
Assassin's Creed, GTA IV, Gears of War, Halo 3, BioShock, and Dead Rising are all on my to play list.
