In the middle of some amazing Nazi Zombie matches with Jeff the other day, my PS3 disc drive decided to stop working. Of course this happens just after I find a cheap headset and can finally play online without the use of speaker phone (thankfully we live in a time of digital phone). I called Sony today, hoping to find out they had service like Xbox. They don’t. They want me to pay $200 to have anything fixed. Disc drive, L.E.D. light, scratched case, all are $200. A new system is $299. Sony can go fuck themselves, and have just forced me to create a new category for the chronicles.

My brother brought me his Xbox today (his doesn’t play discs, and I have no Internet, so there is no point in me having mine), figuring I could at least hook it up and play my arcade games (I got TMNT Turtles in Time a few months ago, and I’m dying to beat it), but without an Internet connection, I have no way of recovering my gamer profile which is linked to all the games. So I have a PS3 that doesn’t play shit that isn’t on the hard drive, and a 360 that won’t play anything but trials of games I already own.

I have terrible luck these days.
