  X-Box 360

  As much as I like the X-Box 360, it'll never be #1 to me this generation, mainly because of the problems with mine. I got mine in April 2006, and here is a list of things I've personally come across.;

  1. I got the RRoD at least 5-10 already. I haven't got it in a while, but for the first year I had it, it spent more time at Miro$oft being fixed, than it was at my house.
  2. My controllers don't turn off when my system turns off, so I have to take out the battery packs to turn off the controllers. This does it for all 4 of my controllers, so I don't think it's them.
  3.Ever since I got mt HDTV, I can't watch DVDs on my X-Box 360. I tried all of the settings and I get a black screen with all of them. Games (disc and XBLA) and even downloaded videos work. DVDs still work on SDTVs. I don't think it's my tv because I exchanged it already (for an unrelated problem).
  4. A couple of my XBLA games keep on switching to the trial versions, and the only way for me to get them to work is to delete them and re-download them. I wouldn't mind so much, but it does it for the XBLA I play almost every day.

  I can't really think of anything else for now, but when I come across something else, I'll add it.

  My thoughts on Kurt Cobain in GH5

  I know people are upset about Kurt Cobain in Guitar Hero 5, mainly because he didn't want to be popular or sell out, but Nirvana became one of the most popular bands to come out of the late '80s, early '90s. So, it's no wonder Neversoft wanted to have his likeness in it.
  
  I know all the rage came from that video montage someone made on YouTube, but where was everyone when he was first announced a week and a half to two weeks ago? I didn't hear any complaints then. Also, ever since Guitar Hero 2, there has been Nirvana songs put in the games.
  
  Like it or not, this is a verrrrrrrrrrrrrry avoidable situation. Just don't select him. Plain and simple. For me, I'll just use him for Nirvana songs.

  Weird thing while playing DS

  When McDonalds had free Wi-Fi for the Nintendo DS, one day, while it was a little busy, I was playing for a few minutes after eating and a kid came up and looked over my shoulder to watch. When I got up to go, the kid started crying and saying "When was my turn"!! Then he begged his mom to tell me to give him a turn. I was able to leave before his mom said anything.

  Has anything like this happen to anyone else?
