Afternoon Discussion

Oct 03, 2008 12:13am CST
Sorry to leave you guys hanging in that crowded old chatty, this morning's piece on developers fighting against used game sales took a bit longer than I anticipated.

But hey, it's Friday! A weekend full of leisure and video games await, that is, assuming your Xbox 360 didn't red-ring last night like mine. And here I was looking forward to more LEGO Batman, Duke Nukem 3D and Rock Band 2.

On the plus side, I found that the Xbox website makes it really easy to file a repair order--quite handy when your Xbox dies at 3:00 AM and you don't feel like talking.

Fortunately, my DVR held a few surprises for me--new episodes of Pushing Daisies and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia--so the night wasn't a total waste. Oh Charlie, you are such a wild card.
