...and realized my Xbox had been left on since the previous weekend. Umm, oops? Scary really, because it was pretty hot down there--a veritable fire hazard in the making. I shut it off and tried firing it up the next morning to play some Forza but my Thompson drive, which has always had trouble reading discs, now pretty much completely refuses to cooperate.

No way am I buying a whole new Xbox this close to the the next gen, so I suppose I'll just wait for the 360 and hope that backwards compatibility pertains to Forza, along with the rest of my collection.
