picked up some games off of ebay the other day... viva pinata is awesome, marvel ultimate alliance is fun with friends, and i haven't had a chance to pop fuzion frenzy 2 in yet...
in other news, it seems my laser is dirty. 90% of the time games are read as DVDs, resulting in an error. in the odd chance that it does read it as a game, it is choppy as hell. i have a feeling it was a result of my humidifier, which has baking soda in the filter and puts a little residue on things after a few weeks of use... should not affect a freaking xbox 360, though... support was good. obviously in india, but her english was very good and they was no major fuss over the issue. they're sending me a box, i'm tossing the system in, and within approximately 10 business days i'll have it back. i wish they'd just give me permission to pop it open and clean the laser; i'm sure that's what the problem is. oh well... i've got a lot of reading to catch up on anyway.
