BH Blog 28 June

Some of our faithful older members may have noticed a number of changes over the recent weeks so I feel it’s only fair to post a personal update in the form of this blog.

The first thing I can think to write about is the dwindling number of my consoles, people who have looked at my personal page before may have noticed my PlayStation Network Trophy card has disappeared and in it’s place there is an Xbox Live card. Yes, my PlayStation 3 has gone and in it’s place sits an Xbox 360.

There is a good reason for this, A few weeks ago now I was trying to chase those damn trophies to join my other 500+ trophies as well as shoot some helghans in Killzone 2 when my PlayStation 3 simply would not read my disc, I tried multiple discs, different games and DVDs nothing worked so I had to phone Sony customer service for around 10 minutes at the personal expense of £7 to be told that my blu-ray drive is completely fuxed.

It’s been 19 months since I bought it so it was out of warranty by 7 months and would cost me £100 to replace the console that I had already spent £350 on to buy less than 2 years ago. Obviously I was not pleased and have basically told Sony where to stick it and sold my PS3 on ebay with all the games for the total of over £200, which has gone towards the price of a holiday to Bulgaria with Tofu and her family.

Not mine but that's pretty damn broke

Now the Xbox 360 came with many thanks and regards to the guys over at Frugal Gaming, which by the way is an excellent site and associated forum for all of us cheapskates so you should definately check them out, and also many thanks to Games Basement, an online retailer who held the competition with Frugal Gaming in which I managed to win the Xbox 360. So there are two links to two excellent gaming websites which all of you guys should check out if you haven’t already.

I might as well give out my Xbox Live details, currently silver membership as I have been to used to PC and PSN onine play to start paying for my online gaming as well as only having Call of Duty: World at War as my only truly Live enabled game, and I’m not paying just to play that one game online.
