Eff You 360

So like... I decided to finally open the 360 for me to play on the long weekend.

It didn't happen as smoothly as one would have expected. How complicated would you think it'd be to hook up a new gaming system? Shouldn't be much right? Right? WRONG.

Apparently 360 players are a bunch of assholes. K wait I take that back. There's this one particular 360 asshole who decided to buy the 360 I bought, swapped his power block and resealed it so it looked brand new. Now the resealing part isn't really difficult actually as I put it all back together at the end "brand new" as well. When I tried to put it together, for some reason, the power cord that went into the console did not fit. I looked at the cord plug, then at the socket. The socket of the elite (which is the one I bought) had an extra square piece sticking out, whereas the plug had a blocker there instead. Duh! They weren't meant for each other. What was even more frustrating was that there was a lack of imagery online to check whether I was really hallucinating or not. I gave up at the end and figured it was easier to just exchange the bloody thing.

So today I went to do that. It was a relatively smooth process and I would've basically ended up returning and buying another one. The only other one available on the shelf looked like it got punched in by someone, so I decided not to grab that one either.

I read about that holiday bundle the other day so I've decided to wait for that instead (it also has two free games!). I've been hearing that it's already out though but I've yet to see it.
