I got the email below today. I'm thinking "no, I didn't forget. I deliberately unchecked those boxes you checked by default for me to avoid getting crap." What is kinda funny is at the end of the email there is a "subscribe" link instead of "unsubscribe".

True. True.

here it is....but copy and paste says....

You know the upcoming New Xbox Experience that has so many people excited for some reason? Turns out that Microsoft call centers are bracing themselves for NXE-induced red rings of death. So while you?re gaining a [fancy?] new user interface you may also be losing an Xbox 360. Fun!

It?s like this: Microsoft is afraid that its Frankenstein of a machine may have trouble ?taking,? in a sense, the NXE update. The result of such a rejection could be (emphasis on the ?could? as none of this is guaranteed to happen) mass RRODs. And when the system breaks down?

It gets better. You remember the extended warranty that Microsoft offered early last year in order to remedy the original RROD situation? It?s set to expire a few days before the NXE launches?meaning that if the NXE causes a RROD you?re SOL.

Please keep in mind that that is all speculation?there?s no reason to suspect that the NXE will cause mass RRODs. If it does, however, then we?re all in for a treat in the next few weeks.

If I get another RROD?I?ve already had one, last year?then that?s it for me, I?ll quit gaming.

NO I didn't know it. And if it was posted here I didn't really start checking the site again until recently. No reason for my absence, just didn't visit.

Nah, it wasn't posted here. It's something I read when they announced it at some convention. I followed the PS3 vs. XBOX360 media streaming news closely. I was waiting for Sony to say, "Hey, here's your Netflix in HD for $15 a month on the PS3". But we got stiffed with, "Hey, here's your SD movies/TV shows. $2 to $25 to own/rent per movie." Meanwhile, Microsoft, smoking a cig after annialating Netflix's clam, blows smoke in Sony's face and says "Meh, we got your deal, but you got to be a high roller to play with this tasty nugget."?.Damn, I need to get a life and play more Left4Dead.

I agree e plurbus unum in hating small peeps!

Jack'o'lanterns piss me off.

And midgets, too.

That pisses me off. ;)

Didn't we know that when they first announced the service months ago though? Talk about a belated rant. ;)
