Xbox 360 blues end


So I love this Xbox 360 I got for Christmas, except I was feeling angry whenever it would go to play a game. Here’s why, I would insert the disk and get an error saying that I should put this disk in a 360, and then while I was playing, I would get errors saying my disk was dirty or scratched even when it wasn’t. So I figured I got a bad 360 since I got it off ebay and saved a bunch of money. Here I am figuring I would have to ship it back and argue with the guy about sending me a broken one, or shipping it to Microsoft so they can fix it. Well, today I grabbed a laser lens cleaner from Gamestop (10 bucks). Now I’ve always thought these things were a joke, and just stupid people bought them, b/c how is this cd supposed to clean the laser lens? I’ll tell you how, on the cd there are lil fiber brushes melded in at certain spots. So I pop in this cd to the xbox, let it play for about 10 minutes, enough for track 2 to play a couple of times b/c that was when the brushes were hitting the laser lens. Then I pop in Halo 3 which wouldn’t load at all, and BAM I’m shooting aliens. I put in Ultimate Alliance which usually took 5 tries to get going, ran perfect the first time. Ahhh! Gamin heaven! Moral of the story: Even if something sounds stupid, just try it, especially if it is the cheapest and easiest option.

Also, we had a great time at the Dino museum with Brad, Tiff and Kyle, but I’ll let Joy talk about that.
