The Turd

My Xbox 360 is a turd. I just submitted a request for repair, which means that Microsoft should now be sending me a $0 repair kit so that I can have the privilege of not playing games on it for a month while it is (hopefully) put in the state it should have originally been in. That is, working properly.

Quality control like this is the main reason why Microsot won’t be able to make a hand held gaming device any time soon. If consoles are failing this regularly when they aren’t moved about, there’s no way MS can compete in the DS (and PSP) market of regularly dropped in bags / knocked around devices.

Also, here is sparkly part of the DIA from last night, and here is some tasty aloo gobi I ate at Rangoli Express on the way home from work a few evenings back.

    Damn you bill gates!

    Heh I could just imagine a hand held version of the xbox, you drop it and it shatters like glass. One good thing about my psp, I’ve dropped it more times than I can remeber and it is still in one peice.

    is Rangoli Express on Walton, in a strip mall? a friend up here in Lapeer keeps recommending “some Indian place near Oakland University..” but can never remember the name long enough to TELL me what it is.

      That’s the normal Rangoli, which is also very good. The Express place is over in the same strip mall as Wal*Mart at M-59 and Mound. I like the Express place more myself, just because it’s more casual (it’s like short order Indian where you clear the table yourself) and just as tasty.
