Over the winter vacation i bought my xbox 360 and it has been a whole lot of fun. Now when i bought my 360 the clerk asked me if i wanted to pay for a two year warranty for my 360. Now EB has always replaced my broken ps2s and my beat up psp so for only 40 bucks it seemed like a good deal right? Well little did i know about the whole thing with when you buy your arcade games you can only play them on the xbox that you downloaded it on, or be logged into xbox live to do so. The problem i have with this is what if my 360(god forbid) breaks? I could (and probably will) just sent it off to microsoft and have it fixed. Now that's all fine and dandy, but what really burns me up is that the 40 bucks i spent on a warranty is sort of useless. I don't have my 360 wired all the time so if i used the warranty to replace my console i would have to drag the cord through my house every time to play a game. I know i sound like i'm whining but in reality things shouldn't have to suck like that for 400 bucks. But hey microsoft extended their warranty or whatever, and they say there coming up with a plan for people who get a new console so they don't have to go through that crap, so i guess i don't have much to worry about. But i'm still kicking myself for (at least at the moment) pouring that 40 bucks down the drain. Oh well i guess that's what i get for not doing my homework.Â

Crazy New Generation
by Alawishis on Comments
It’s normal for things to be a little crazy during console launches and things like that. People may choose sides and all, but it was never on a scale so large. There are a lot of things that contribute to this. First and foremost people seem to be choosing sides much more that they used to, this is do in part with the rising price of consoles now a days, it has just sky rocketed to a level never seen before. Back during the last generation the most expensive console was 300 dollars pretty much the common price for consoles at tat point for many years. But now the highest price now is 600 dollars I meant that is twice as much as the last generation! Then again it is only one console demanding such a high price. In relation to these rising prices companies have come out with 2 versions of their console. You have the nice expensive version and then the 100 dollar cheaper stripped down version. now with these two versions out it just make buy a console harder on all fronts, that decision of which console type to buy first for many people is a hassle and with moms it must be impossible for them to remember all the different deals and prices and stuff about all theses consoles. From top to bottom that idea was just dumb. Also with the rise in cause and the obvious increases in loses for the companies game prices have gone up which is where companies make their money. Basically the people are facing the brunt end of the stick with something like this. With all these different high prices and all, the console wars have flared to the highest level yet. Back in the day when I was a child I thought the playstation was the best thing ever and everything else was junk. this was because my parents bought me this and I was all that had so obviously what I had was best and I could never tell what was better because I didn't have the money to buy the other consoles at the time(Saturn,N64). Now with theses rising prices it is pretty much the same idea. You buy one console and chances are you don't have enough money to buy any other consoles so you say yours is the greatest and you fight for it. It’s just all of these things that add up to make this generation completely insane. If thing's continue to become more and more expensive at the rate it has this generation, then it will be a path that will ultimately destroy the industry as a whole from the inside out. Â
