An Xbox 360 sized package from UPS turned up this morning

Last year, I wrote about how on the 16th day of Christmas, my Xbox gave to meeeeeeee -  3 reeeeeeed rings :(

;(

:'(

A sad day, and possibly of the worst timing considering:

  1. The amount of decent games that had just released.
  2. The fact I had been a good boy all year, and was expecting some gaming delights in return at Christmas.
  3. The gaming bargains that were kicking around.

Anyway, it was packed up and sent off to the European Repair Center Frankfurt, Germany. Xbox-less for Xmas. What a time to be missing out, even my 360′s own blog was taunting me.

Well January 5th, 2009. A new year,and apart from the snow, something else turned up today…

Yep its back :) Same Xbox, but with a replaced motherboard and DVD drive. Happy days. I also can’t believe how quiet it is, before it sounded like it was going to take off, I may have to free up some space and get something installed and try that out.

Now, what to play first?

Gamerscores for Friday 19/12/2008 – Year end edition

So another year of the l337sheet draws to a close. What did we all achieve? Well along with the normal weekly gamerscores for 19/12/2008 that can be grabbed here, I also put together special 2008 year end edition. How much gamerscore did you amass this year? Who got the most? Who got the least? Behold, the answers you seek are here.

Remember a couple of easy ways to keep up to date with scores and stuff is via the RSS feed which updates automatically as new posts as they appear,  and via the Twitter which I update now and then. Get signed up.

Also, keep your eyes peeled for a special Gamerdork Vs Joypod podcast this weekend, it should be available sometime Sat/Sun over at the Joypod and Gamerdork sites and via iTunes.  Its gonna be a mash up.

For all you  stalkers out there, you can follow Elmo from Joypod on https://twitter.com/davidturners

Hope you all enjoy the xmas break, and I’ll see you for the next update in 2009! :)

Merry Xmas, Shepperton.
