The site's been busted for weeks.

I was looking through my achievements last night when suddenly, they're gone. All of them. I have my profile and saves on a USB drive (I trust flash drives a bit more than HDs). When I checked the drive it showed that my profile was corrupted. After a reboot things were back to normal. I'm...

I'm going to be selling an old 360, and I'm trying to figure out what to ask for. It's an old Pro unit (Falcon) with a 20GB hdd, includes everything (except the headset) in the original box. Problem is, it's refurbished. Had to send it in when it E74'd on me. Given Microsoft's track record with...

Called up about a bum controller with my new 360. The rep was chatting me up as he was filling out some information; what I like playing, etc. He then asked if I was playing on a high-def tv. "Yes I am." He replies that he can't wait to get himself an HD set because his is only 720p and he...

I've played the PS2 version already. I didn't have a 360 at the time, and many reviews stated that the last-gen version was superior conceptually. Saw the 360 version at Best Buy today and thought about picking it up, both because (warning, graphics snob moment) the tech of the PS2 version...

I finally got around to installing last month's update. I'm not connected to Live so I did it via a usb stick. The update went fine, but now my avatar is gone. If I try to customize my avatar I'm told I need to install an update. I don't care that my avatar is gone, but I'm worried that...

My console crashed twice last night with graphics corruption, so I figure it's only a matter of time before it's completely dead. I'd like to get a new Jasper unit (I'll sell the old one after it's repaired), but I have a few questions: I'll probably save myself a few $$$ and get an arcade...

So I pick up Venture Bros. season 3 on DVD yesterday, and when I open it later that night I find that disc 1 is scratched up quite a bit (disc 2 was fine). It was as if someone had taken a piece of sandpaper and scuffed a spot the size of a quarter. When I exchanged it today, I opened the new...

Had a package shipped to me yesterday (about 4:00) and as of now UPS has no information on it whatsoever. I know the system is a little slow with the updates sometimes, but I'd like to at least see an estimated delivery date. Right now it's like it doesn't exist.

About half of the new/sealed 360 games I've bought in the past few months have had scratches on them. Nothing serious mind, but not what one would expect of *new*. Also, many of the blu-ray discs I've bought recently were covered in smudges, and one, Planet Earth, was covered in smudges and...

Damn this game is pissing me off. Second dungeon (Sindain) and every floor is an absolute bitch to complete. I don't mind a challenge, but the clunky controls, spotty collision detection, and the limited health of my characters (three hits and they're dead) is incredibly frustrating. I want to...

http://venturebeat.com/2008/09/05/xbox-360-defects-an-inside-history-of-microsofts-video-game-console-woes/ I don't think there's anything new here (nothing that hasn't already been revealed or speculated about). Poor design, rushed to market, insufficient debugging, etc... I had no idea the...

Absolutely hate them, especially the double-disc cases. I have two games (that I know of) that have large chips in the polycarbonate around the center of the disc. Yes, they still work (cry me a river, blah, blah), but I imagine things will only get worse. I don't know why Nintendo didn't use a...

I've been getting water in my apartment lately when it rains heavily. Not a total flood thankfully, just a small section of carpet in the bedroom that gets soaked. The AC condensers for the building sit outside my bedroom wall. The gutters above are falling apart, so the water collects on the...

So I checked my credit report for the first time (Experian) and I found an account I had no knowledge of; an open credit card through HSBC bank. I immediately suspected that it was one of my father's cards. I'm a junior, so it's not unusual for us to get mixed up in the paperwork. I called HSBC...
