Xbox back
Yesterday I got my Xbox back from the repair centre. They have just shipped me a new one so it’s all shiny. It is just in time for ODST, my copy hasn’t arrived yet but we were playing it last night. I will write a mini review when we have completed it although it seems to be good so far.
I am quite impressed with the repair process Microsoft have put in place for the Xbox. Despite it being nearly 3 years old, they sent a courier to pick it up, take it to the repair centre and then send me a new console in under a week and they throw in a month of gold membership for live. I was hoping that I would get a new one with a HDMI connector, mine predates the first ones to have them but alas no, it identical to the new ones. I am tempted to get a bigger hard drive for it although £90 for a 120gb is quite steep. I only have a 20GB one and now with more DLC, game installs, arcade games etc. it all adds up to needing a lot more space. I am forever having to clean up old videos and demos, I can only have one game installed at once maybe 2 if it is a smaller one.
Hopefully ODST will arrive by tomorrow so I will be able to play it over the weekend. We also have Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 coming next week so we will be playing that as well. The autumn games schedule has started at last and there is a lot of good titles coming out in the coming months to keep us busy. There is at least 7-8 that I want and a couple more that I might get as well.
