Xbox #3: The Return

Surprisingly, because I never check my Hotmail account, Microsoft is sending back my new 360 in a couple days. This is quite the change from last time, taking months to get back, to now taking less than two weeks after getting the shipping box.

It's almost kind of a let down. I had it all in my head that I was going be settling down with my old cohorts, the PS2 and Xbox (maybe some GameCube) and possibly some Wii. But with the 360 coming back soon and Forza 2 in stores next week, it looks like I'll be back in front of the HDTV again, living it up.

Guitar Hero II, just when you and I were becoming well acquainted again. Sorry, old chap.

Onward, To Xbox #3

Yes, once again, it happened.

Though I am happy to report the process is much, much nicer this time around. Nintendo-nice. A short call to "Kevin" put me right in touch with the 360 support supervisor and I was quickly on my way. It might have had something to do with this happening to me before, but I also think MS has revised it's rat maze: the path to the cheese is much less convoluted.

Also this time around, I'm going to write down my serial number, something I had not done previously. But with a shipping box coming to my house and hopefully a 360 well on it's way, I won't have to worry about losing anything. Official boxes probably make warehouses much less cumbersome and tidy.
