Allow me to elaborate. Microsoft was nice enough to backwards-compat their warranties to cover any system made within the last 3 years. So if you got a red ring, and it was made between about march 2007 and oh how's about now-ish, your system will be covered.
Sweet deals. However....my system has a manuf date of 2008, early 2008, which basically means it's getting closer and closer to its final resting time. Believe it or not kids, gaming systems that use a disc drive have a shelf life, since they use a laser, and technically speaking all lasers don't last forever, just ask any laser expert.
Cartridges however, can never die, since essentially you're hard-lining your game into the system, what with the carbon boards and 1.21 gigawatts and the such.
Bringing us to our topic of the day.
My Xbox, she is dying.
Rest assured however, this coming tuesday, the 13th of all days, is when Splinter Cell: Conviction, a highly anticipated (see: 4 years) game will be released. As what's quickly becoming the standard for microsoft, they will be releasing a special xbox system along with it.
As they've done only a few times before.....
Resident Evil 5, Halo 3, COD:MW2, Final Fantasy 13, Forza, Lego Indy and Kung Fu Panda, 300, Facebook, Gears of War and Splinter Cell
only a few times.
However, with a combination of some sweet deals, and the reason I work at a game store, I'm essentially getting the new system for my old system and a song.
HERE'S WHATS COMING UP.
Splinter Cell: Conviction
Alan Wake
Red Dead Redemption
UFC 2010.
When I get my system tuesday I'll be sure to post some fancy pictures, until then feel free to browse the blog reviews I've been meaning to post!
Game On?? Yeah
