Friday Notes
That SingStar PS3 is quite an addictive game.
Welcome Glen to the wonderful world of Xbox 360 Red Ring of Death. Do you even qualify for a warranty at this point? Just make sure if you exchange you get the new lower wattage 360.
Did you hear that in June MS will release a tool to fix all the DRM crap on a single 360 so you'll be able to play offline your Live Arcade games? About friggin time. They talk about contractual issues. Whatever. Speaking of stupid, how stupid is it that SingStar songs you buy are tied to one PS3 only -- so if you want to play on your big screen PS3 but you've purchased the tracks on your 60 GB PS3 in your office, you are SOL. Great idea!
Just remember Glen, the snippies could be worse -- instead you could have a tampon shoved up your nose for a week to fix your sinus disease. I can't wait for my operation in a couple of weeks. I hear breathing is a real treat -- something to look forward to.

Incidentally, Dan, speaking of problems with consoles… less publicized are the PS3 burnouts. The difference is that there’s no indicator light stating when your consoles hit the crapper.

That and the fact that Sony consoles don’t burnout at a rate of 30% or higher.

Well, considering the fact that I have never seen anything (other than one Dutch site posting about failure rates, which was the only report of sony failure rates higher than 3 percent.)
Regardless, they (and Nintendo) are the gold standard compared to the 360, as far as hardware failures go this generation.
