All over but the crying?

Re: All over but the crying?

Well, if your daughter is a crappy gamer, there is always the option of a post-natal abortion.

OoOoOoOo....Hmmmmmm....*thinks about it...*

Naaaaaaaaah! Then I'd have to take care of her kids and I've come to the conclusion that I am SOOOOOOOOOO over raising little ones! I'm looking forward to when she moves out and I have my adult household back! lol

OMG, she is such a NUB! You know how it aggravates you to play with nubs that just will not learn ....thats her.....I'd rather kill myself....

Re: All over but the crying?

Have you had to send yours in for repairs? I'm on my FOURTH 360. This one has been working well for about a year now *knock on wood*

also, move your daughter to another room!

But I feel your pain. I have a nice setup with a big screen and 5.1 system with a huge woofer, opposite end of the house as my bedroom. But last fall my wife's brother stayed in MY basement for about a month. He's lucky he's a heavy sleeper.

My wife wouldn't tolerate me playing in our room while she sleeps

I've had my 360 since day one and not a single issue.

I wish I could move her to another room but the house has an open concept so it doesn't matter. I have a 52" wall mounted Sharp Aquos LCD hooked up to a 7.1 surround sound system so you can imagine why its a bit annoying that I can't play. If I do get to play during the day I have 2 little rugrats screeching n the background and it makes it hard to hear if someone is coming up behind me damn it. lol I love them to pieces but my gaming is taking a hardcore hit!

Currently we had to move our computers out of our game room and into our bedroom so when I'm up late at night plunking away my poor hubby is tossing and turning. LOL If I get another 360 and stick it in there, he might have to sleep in the tub to get some rest!

TGM: Teach her to play games.

Sure, you might interfere with her sleep, but she'll forget all about that when you're kicking her ass in multiplayer.

So grab an HD-DVD drive while you can, TGM.
Hell, they may be worth a little something, someday. Doubtful, but you never know.

Re: All over but the crying?

I am getting a 360 Elite with my check dang it! I am getting annoyed at having to share my 360 with my son and now my daughter since she moved in! She's also sleeping on the couch and that negates any late night sessions of head shots and blowing things up damn it! .....oh wait....I'd have to play in my bedroom on my hdtv and my husband will be sleeping.....pffffffft too bad for him!!

Re: All over but the crying?

Could be a good buy, the HDDVDs should start dropping in price quick as stores are not carrying them anymore. Heck Walmart might have sold them all out already.

As for me, I'm still holding off. I'll settle with my Sony DVD player, and maybe purchase a PS3 with the government checks we are getting this summer.

Re: All over but the crying?

TGM: Side note, I've seen some websites that have hacked the 360 player into a device that also works on computers. I'm not sure how easy it is to do, but they specifically mentioned that MS had essentially given everyone a cheap HDDVD player for PC along with the Xbox, so it might be worth looking into.

Thanks Feba I will check into that. I'll still buy one though because I'm a bit of a gaming/collecting addict so I'll buy one to use now and then buy one in a box new to save and maybe another in the box new in case the other new one doesn't work when I decide to use it and maybe I'll buy a used one so that I don't have to open any of the new ones I buy and......

UPDATE 2/25

DUN DUN DUN!!!! lol

Fifty bucks for a 360 HD-DVD ^^

Microsoft - HD DVD Player for Xbox 360 - 9Z5-00013

and yes, I bought one lol .....but just one (mainly because I want to watch Transformers on it!)

Re: All over but the crying?

Just add this to all the problems with everything since DOS, at least

Fixed.

Re: All over but the crying?

You just now notice this?

No, just further proof.
Just add this to all the problems with Vista and something I recall with microsoft trying to force people into only using IE.

Would seem M$ has no problem screwing over consumers to suit their own need,

Re: All over but the crying?

I can't wait for the hd-dvd for 360 to plummet so I can snag one cheap. lol

Re: All over but the crying?

it'll still play hd-dvds (which some places are now selling for $7 a pop) and upconverts regular dvds. might as well keep it, atleast for awhile

EDIT: Found these interesting:

Would seem M$ has no problem screwing over consumers to suit their own need, but thats business and I think most people probably already knew that.
