Open-World Superhero Smackdown 2009: Delay of Game

As if playing massive open-world games wasn't time-consuming enough. So last night I was minding my own business, playing Red Faction so I can bring you good people a review in the most timely fashion possible. I'm not exactly a super-speedy reviewer, and I'm hip-deep in my most ambitious review program ever. So naturally, this is the perfect time for my Xbox to red ring. Again. Time for XBox number five. Sigh.
Well folks, look for Infamous to be the first OWSS09 contender to get a full review. Prototype and Red Faction reviews will follow just as soon as I have a working console. Oh Microsoft, gotta love your hardware.

You too huh?
It's killing me that Ghostbusters came out yesterday, and I can't play it.

Posted 06/17/2009 at 01:17:55 PMElite's are nice, I seem to remember reading somewhere that the wiring is more robust or some such. All I know is that it's quieter than the last xbox I had and SEEMS to keep cooler on it's own.
Posted 06/17/2009 at 01:51:58 PMIf you look around the 'Net a bit you can find which versions of the 360 are more or less reliable... I haven't replaced my 360 in a while, so I'm rusty on it, but ultimately you can spot good and less-good consoles by the power (volt) info on the package... I ditched my launch 360 for an Elite (picked using 'Net info) a couple years ago or so and so far, so good.
