Achalon Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!! fgdhsjagvb k fdsa reuf;a3 *E#@Y ER!!!! To understand my frustration, let me start at the beginning... Tuesday. KOTOR2 comes out. I go to EB and pick up my pre ordered copy. I go home eagerly awaiting the new story... I pop it in my Xbox and proceed to spend the next 6 hours getting through the first 1/2 hour of the game. My CD-Rom had been dying off for awhile in the Xbox, and it decided that no matter what I did, it was not going to play KOTOR2 correctyl for me. So I decided to take the last of my petty cash and go trade in mine for a refurbished Xbox. I get to EB, and I find out that the prices have increased.... So I shell out $111 for a refurb job with warranty after trading in 8 games and my broken Xbox... Then I get home and pop KOTOR2 into the new(refurbished) Xbox... I start playing. I'm lovin this game... having a blast for two days... 20+ hours into it... and what happens? it eats the game... IT EATS THE FREAKIN GAME!!!!!!! At this point I'm considering hairy carey...... I take the Xbox (with KOTOR2 still inside ) back to EB... Luckily, I had them both under warrenty... Unluckily, they didn't have any more refurbished Xbox's... So I had to shell out another $15 after using the two games that come with the new Xbox as trade in's and including the extra $5 for updating the warranty for a new system... So... Now, $126 later... 20+ hours of gameplay lost.... I'm hoping I can finally get through this flippin game...... If you think you're having a bad week, stick with me... This type of think isn't real uncommon for me.... I knew it was too good to be true when the PA treasury had my name listed as one of the people that has money comming to them... Karma is a fickle creature... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edonidd Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 If it makes you feel any better you could have just bought a new DVD drive, for around $80 :0 Actually I don't know if they are still that price, but when the Thompson disk drive errors ere first "discovered" and the fallout from that whole mess were going on it was about $80 for a new drive if you installed it yourself, and about $110 for someone else to do it profesionally for you. Stupid Microsoft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achalon Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 LOL poor guy I feel sorry for you, and I know how it feels when you think the world falls on you..... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've come to beleive in karma due to my unusual luck. an example: I once narrowly missed out on a car wreck only to damage my own vehicle. When I got home that day, I found a check in the mail I had been waiting months for. If it makes you feel any better you could have just bought a new DVD drive, for around $80 :0 Actually I don't know if they are still that price, but when the Thompson disk drive errors ere first "discovered" and the fallout from that whole mess were going on it was about $80 for a new drive if you installed it yourself, and about $110 for someone else to do it profesionally for you. Stupid Microsoft! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> lol, well... One of the issues I had was that when I asked about prices a month or two ago, trading in an old Xbox for a refurbished one was only supposed to be $80. That's why I originally went with that option... Apprently, the prices go up the closer to Christmas we get... This type of thing happens to me so often, I can't help but laugh about it. The best was the day I lost $500, (I think it was stolen - no proof though), My car broke down, I broke my favorite chair when I sat in it, then I burnt up the vacume. --- All within about 3 hours... (w00t) Ever see the movie 'Pure Luck.' I think it was based on me. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
