So that didn't work. My noble attempt to finish Bioshock one more time before the sequel have been crushed. I was making very good progress, finished Apollo Square and about to move on to the final area, stopping only for lunch. Silly me, food is never the answer, I should have forgo sustenance and pushed onward, but alas I returned from my sinful meal only to me faced with the evil Red Ring of Death, taunting me, laughing at me. So much for my high hopes of finishing Bioshock it today.

I am now struck with a difficult choice, my warranty expired, but yet according to Xbox.com RRD is still covered, 3 year warranty must have begun when my console was last heal of its three red lights in the summer of 07. So I shall send my good friend to be replaced, but the questions is, do I grab another 360 in the mean time, can i go without a 360 for upwards of 3 weeks? Bioshock 2 is a tempting prize, but I do believe that the next big releases are mostly PS3; be it Heavy Rain, God of War III, and Final Fantasy 13. I can not think of another 360 game I need to have in the next month or so, maybe I am forgetting something.

Very temping to head out and acquire a new shiny 360, one with a much bigger hard drive, as I have been burdened with a 20 gig drive since launch, a drive that is now perpetually filled. Decisions, Decisions...
