[quote name='Hex']Gotcha. Do you enjoy the jorb itself?

And mmmm, strychnine.. wait, that's the bad part of LSD, right? :shock:[/QUOTE]

Jorb is ok, Coach Z. Typical tech support for a proprietary databasing program for insurance companies.

The setup is that cases are created and we call the agencies back, which I prefer over "we've got 25 people on hold, and you get stuff based on luck of the draw." With this I can see (usually) case issues before I call 'em back, which is good because I know what needs to be done before I call back. I say "usually" because people are still stupid and will write things like "our computer is not workin" as if that helps me in any way.

But this place is pretty laid back. I can wear jeans and tshirts and surf the net while on calls. I've had places before where I had to wear biz casual and couldn't so much as check my e-mail. So I prefer this setup above the others.

Mostly I need to stop doing this line of work, and get one where I just write nonsense all day. That would be awesome. I wouldn't even care if I made much money or not. Just something where I didn't do customer relations or deal with dumbasses, and instead write funny columns or something.

Lets say I get the job at olive garden, what do I tell Penn Station. "sorry I've found another job." Sorry the position has been filled?
 
My images are off, but I hope that one doesn't actually show a coin purse.

And yeah that's pretty much exactly what you say. You have to take the Olive Garden over the sub place, no question about it.
 
Does anyone know how much EB gives for a 360? I just want to get rid of this shit and be done with it.

I'm so scared of the shit ass refurb that I really won't want to sell it and ship it, and have it break a week later and I've got to refund some money out that will already be spent on college / moving stuff.

The CAGwiki says EB only gives $190 for it... which seems really low for a $400 system, that isn't even 50% =O It just says "System with wireless controller", which is kind of vague.

Dude on the phone said "blah blah dependent on a lot of things blah blah bring it in" but nah, I'm not hiking it down there for a measly $190. If I can get at least $250 for it, I'd be happy.
 
[quote name='CaseyRyback']EB will fuck you over on it. Sell it on craigslist or ebay[/QUOTE]

Tried CL a long time ago (before I even offered it here), that was a mess, and I don't know... I ran a DVD on it, and it ran it but it felt like something was off. I just get a *really* bad feeling about it, and I don't want to Ebay it or sell it to someone on CAG and it breaks a week later, like I've heard happening to PLENTY of refurbs.

It figures that after I sent mine in, they started the program where they actually fixed your 360 and sent your 360 back. On closer inspection too, the 360 they sent me back is kind of dinged and isn't really all that great.

I don't have time to send it BACK to MS to go for a third one, and I am 99% certain that once I sell it, this thing will go dead in a week and I will have to eat the refund and deal with a broken 360 when it gets sent back.

If I can throw it at EB, it becomes their problem if something happens in a week, and not mine. It's one less thing I have to worry about.

I've sold tons of systems on Ebay and elsewhere and this is the only one I really get a bad feeling selling. With my luck, the piece of shit would break in transit.

This is the only thing I've ever had that I've felt uncomfortable selling.
 
Aw hayll yeah, it's raining again! I hope it does this shit all week. The weekend was way too fucking hot, was up around 25°. :(

And even better, my ratio's up around 1.6! Thank god that I put up that huge album, people are diggin' it.

Come on you knew I was going to go there.
 
roufuss you know you can buy an MS warranty for it for fairly cheap right? Call them up and pay the 29 bucks for the extra year warranty on it so that you don't have to worry about selling a broken machine.

I think they may even allow you to buy a 2 year one.
 
Alright I've just called Olive Garden, and they said homeboy isn't in today.

I've already done two interviews with them. I just need to talk to the kitchen manager and find out if I have the job. Or I can call penn station, and set up an interview.

Spend another $29 just to sell it? They are barely getting $300 on Ebay as it is... most are falling under that for a Premium.

This thing is more hassle than it's worth. I don't know if the Edge card 10% stacks on a system trade-in (I know you can't get 10% off used systems... but it says nothing about getting an extra 10% on trade-in's), and there is ANOTHER 10% trade-in coupon in Game Informer that stacks. It's just a matter of calling the 20 EB's / GS's here until I find someone willing to do it.

I could probably get around $240 with the accessories I have for it when all is said and done (once I can stack the coupon), not worry about ever having a refund or a bitchy customer, or get $280 in Ebay (which is what someone with the same set up as mine got) and then pay Ebay fee's, shipping it, blah blah.

I'll take $40 less to not ever worry about it again, and take advantage of the b2g1 free to get some Wii games.

At this point, selling this thing is a huge hassle, and I can sell it to EB, get some games for me, get some games to sell, since I don't have to go out of my way to sell a game, and it's a huge load off my shoulders.

Just set up the interview at Penn station. That way, if Olive Garden dicks you over, you've got your back-up. If Olive Garden ends up hiring you, then if/when you get the offer from Penn Station you can just tell them that you got offered a job somewhere else.
 
I know how you feel Roufuss. MS needs to do something about their hardware. I was just throwing the warranty idea out there suggesting you may want to keep it or that you might get more value out of selling it with a warranty.

And when I sent mine in I got my old one back. Yours must have been fucked to not get the original one back.


And what all accessories do you have?
 
Hey rouf. I saw a coupon at my local EB that gave $250 for a 360 trade-in. I don't know any details or the fine print (premium only? must be towards trade-in of elite? who knows), but might be something to look into. Either way, I'd probably just trade it in with the 10% edge + 10% Game Informer coupon and be done with it.

Yea, the coupon is just towards an Elite... no thanks!

That's what I'm doing hopefully, stacking it with the coupons... systems work towards that then, I assume? If it still gets $190, which is an old wiki value, I can get an extra $38 on top of that bringing me to $228 already... then I've got an extra wireless controller, a media remote, a headset, and a play and charge kit to throw down.

I'll get at least $250, probably a little bit over that. Same as I'd make on Ebay after fees.

The EDGE card doesn't stack on system trade-ins.
 
I have blister on my thumb from cutting the grass, and then tilling the garden.

From now on I wear gloves. I never did before, but its a good time ot start cause its conflicting with my game playing.

Also got my copy of Planet Earth today.
 
[quote name='shrike4242']The EDGE card doesn't stack on system trade-ins.[/QUOTE]

I'll make sure to call around enough to find a dumb employee who will let it slide ;) Could have sworn I used the Edge card no problem when I traded in my GBA.

Either way, $200, $250, I don't want to deal with this shit ever again. Gotta love the Elite's that are red lighting right of the box.

I'll have your money tonight too!
 
When will Microsoft put those new chips or whatever the fuck it is in 360s? I see no point in buying one until then. That, and once they put all the Elite shit into the Premium bundle for $400 or whatever they go for.
 
[quote name='shrike4242']The EDGE card doesn't stack on system trade-ins.[/quote]

:whistle2:k You sure about that? Maybe I just have stupid employees around here. I've traded in several PS2 systems and have always been able to use my edge card + any GI coupons available at the time (never works on promos such as the $250 elite promo though). Although the last time I did this was over a year ago, so maybe things have changed. Who knows.

And I noticed about the Elites being paperweights out of the box. Not a good thing at all. :whistle2:s
 
Oh oh I has a question.

Has anyone tried using a GGC lately? Both times when I did, the cashier would scan it, it would register on the screen, but it didn't take off the five bucks. So I've had to point it out both times.

Has BB already rid it from their system? I mean I'm going to keep using it until the coupon is dead, but this is kind of annoying.

According to one of the last CAGcast's Cheapy said that the $5 off is gone.
 
[quote name='Graystone']According to one of the last CAGcast's Cheapy said that the $5 off is gone.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, but there are still some GGCs out there with the coupon, so he's half wrong. I've got 3 at home, and there's still plenty at my store. Everyone else doesn't appear to be as lucky.

I'm talking about if you have the coupon in hand, which I do. When they scan it, it doesn't take off the five bucks. You have to tell the cashier and they'll override it - they have no choice but to do so.

They expire in June sometime. I'm trying to figure out if they've already removed it from the system or not.
 
[quote name='Strell'] already removed it from the system.[/QUOTE]

I'm thinking thats what they have done. They figured out that they were being "abused" by "devil customers", and removed from the system. However my local BB has never had them so I can't confirm anything for you.

I've noticed some issues with the GamePro coupons not working correctly, though it's been mostly on the Wii items, with Wiimotes and Wii games.
 
Rage Against the Machine was amazing but I had a many a near-death experience in the most violent pit evaaaar
 
Now it all becomes clear. I wondered why the released the 360 Elite in April. Not later in the year. It's opartially for stock reasons. If it's ture that this month MS suppliears will start maufacturing 65 nm chips, and in the Fall they will become available in new stock of 360's, then MS will have to move all that old stock out the door.

The elite is not just a tool to compete with the PS3 but it's also a way to slash their old inventory of parts so they can get rid of the 90 nm, buggy chips.

Now, I plan on getting a 360 ion about 4-6 months. Probably about the time when the 65 nm chips will be coming out. But how will I know if I got a 65 nm chip. Especialy if I order online and have my 360 delivered. It's a crap shoot.

You'd have to wait until you knew for sure the old models were phased out, and even then, it's still a crap shoot, as you might get something they found in the back of the warehouse.
