  Please leave a message after the beep

  *beep*

  Well, I am leaving for vacation in Greece tomorrow for 2 weeks. Yep; it shall be awesome.

  If anything happens with the unions while I am gone (since I won't have an internet access for like 2 weeks unless my aunt or I decide to bring our laptops), TheForgotten0ne is in charge of the Fantasy Threads. I hope that he and I share the same vision for FT so he can help incase GameSpot decides to do any updates for the unions. You can use this as proof just incase anyone says that I didn't give you permission, Jonas.

  Let's talk about games a bit, shall we?

  Ever since Trophies came out for the PS3, I have loved them. I have Super Stardust HD (36%), PixelJunk Eden (like 4% ) and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. All I need for Uncharted is to beat that damned Crushing difficultly. It scares me because I played the first chapter and one handgun shot hit me and I was already black and white (near critical health). Yeah. This is going to suck. Oh well. I'm almost done. I'll finish it when I get back.

  Thats about it from here. I'll talk to all of you later on.

  Mike (maa)

  End of a Dilemma

  Well, I got the replacement PS3. We went to Best Buy and they were holding an 80GB model for us. So we swapped the HDs there and did some other shopping and left. I just got back like 10 minutes ago and I plug in all the cables and everything and turn it on. This screen pops up and says:

  "The hard drive must be formatted to continue."

  No. **** no.

  So I chose "No." (There was no "**** no" option )

  Then it said that it couldn't continue.

  So I turned it off an turned it back on and the same thing. My dad and I are sad, but we had to format the Hard Drive. I was able to get all of the saves from it earlier except Vegas 2 and Rock Band. The Rock Band one hurt. We have to do EVERYTHING over now. My dad, cousin and I were almost done with World Tour too. Oh well. At least I have a working PS3 now. Right now it is getting Update 2.41 so that is taking a while. I am sad though.

  I did get 2 new emblems though. Thats pretty good. And a funny thing is the box finally came to ship the PS3 in. Well now I have a big box. Woo.

  So how is everyone else doing?

  In a little dilemma

  Hello everyone, it's Mike and I have a little problem. My PS3.....has seen better days. The Blu-ray reader is having problems reading Blu-ray discs. Games and movies that are Blu-ray based freeze after a period of playing, which ranges from 5 minutes to 1 hour. DVDs work fine in it; only BDs are the problem.

  Yeah, it sucks. I have 2 options.

  1. I send it into Sony. I have confirmation that the box to ship it in has been shipped to me via UPS and it'll be here the 15th. I just got a reprint of the receipt from Best Buy so I have everything that I need. However, talking about Best Buy brings up option 2.

  2. I take it to Best Buy and get a new one from them. Yeah, on the receipt from BB was a thing saying about a 2 year extended warranty. My dad forgot about it. Oh well. I can take it there, they take out the Hard Drive and put it in the new one and I'd be all good.

  However, I want to see if Sony will take it and see what is really wrong with it so they could possibly help other people. Yeah, me the forever (well, majority of the time) optimist. And I can't find any 80GB PS3s online at Best Buy (and I don't want the MGS4 bundle; I'm happy with what I have). Only 40GBs. So IDK what will happen.

  I want your opinion on what you would do.

  BTW, I'm doing fine, except for the PS3 being lame.
