This is old news for me, but I never posted it on here. On my week of vacation I was looking forward to using my 360 extensively, but when I sat down in front of it and turned it on I was greated by the 3 flashing red lights. It isn't such a huge deal for me since I have three other 360s to use, but I swear the thing new I was on vacation and it would be the worst possible time for a melt-down. I'm sending it in for repair today and we will see how long it takes to get back.

I stopped by Game Crazy last night and they were clearing the place out. It seems that they're closing some 300 stores nationwide, which leaves a few but obviously things are bad for them. The had all their game drawers pulled out and used titles were priced to move. I picked up Dead Rising and a Mass Effect Faceplate/skin for the 360 for $16. I'm slightly sadded by the closure though. Game Crazy always gave better money for trades and their used games were far more reasonably priced. They were also opened 365 days a year, which meant if your Christmas gifts sucked you could still get a worthwhile game to spend the day playing. I loved that.
