After the latest update, my 360 console just crashed all the time. I heard some strange noice, and then it crashed. No matter if I went trough the dashboard, or starting up a game... it freezes. So I called micro$oft. I had a friendly woman on the phone, explained the situation, then tried a couple of things.... ( a fast button combination to start up a maintenance) but it didn't worked. Then she said: "I have very bad news for you.... you need to send the console in". 5 min later I had the UPS info in my mailbox and so I can send the console wihtout costs etc... so I must say: that was pretty good service... I never ever had any problems before with other consoles, I guess that there is just more delicate technology in the next gen machines.... ( we all know the 360 problem stories..guess I am one of them now!) it should be back in max 15 days! It's going to B a dark december! (same post on union boards)

Aaah Thank god it's weekend, the end of a heavy and busy week of working. Just went through all the major news items on GS. Well a lot happend these days in the gamesindustry and the launch of the Wii is very close. I think the wii looks great and is innovative. I will maybe buy 1 because of zelda .... and the good price!

But back to my new "love" the 360. I bought this week OXM uk. Mostly because of the big preview of Mass Effect and the F.E.A.R demo. The fear demo is one of the coolests demos so far. Only one thing is bothering me: the low res textures.... like in quake, like in prey, like in fear.... hmmm I really hope that the 360 can do better then this.....
Mass Effect is gonne be superb for sure. I can reccommend everybody to read the article in the OXM.... lot's of info and the game features are well explained.

I made some new Tags for the Triple A union!!
