Console Murder.

The exterior perimeter was breached around 1900 hrs. last night, setting off the interior alarms and activating the security sensors. I proceeded to the upper level com room where the X360 unit is being housed to ensure its safety. I quickly noticed I was not alone. A ventilation shaft had been removed from a section of the ceiling, and from the disarray of the desks beneath, I could tell the interior of the room had been breached.
I immediately removed my sidearm and proceeded to the location of the X360 unit. I caught a visual of the target, moving swiftly away from the known location of the X360 unit. I opened fire, sending two shots down range, missing the target. The figure promptly made a hasty and unconventional exit through the northside exterior window.
I made chase after the subject and opened fire as he made his way across the exterior courtyard, taking cover behind several exterior compound walls.
Visual On Target.
The subject escaped through a improvised breech in the exterior wall. However, we tracked his path to the docks and lost him. We did recover the X360 unit, however…. somethings wrong.
The target seemed to have disabled a key feature in the unit. We’ve attempted to reactive it with no avail, when we activate its power supply it begins to flash three red LED lights repeatedly. I repeat. X360 has been disabled. Send support. Without it we are lost.
I repeat. X360 has been disabled. Send support. Without it we are lost.

Splinter Cell: Double Agent
I had a run in with Sam Fisher last night as I tryed out the latest in the Splinter Cell series.
Needless to say, the meeting did not end in my favor.
Upon attempting to play the first mission, it began to freeze and prompt me to restart.
After several freezes and restarts during the first mission it eventually [within the hour] quit turning on period.
In addition, I started to recieve the ‘3 red lights of death’ from the Ring of Light. Indicating a hardware failure.
Being that I had one of the first wave consoles, I wasn’t surprised that this would happen at some point.
Have no fear however, I have another one being picked up as we speak, and plan to have no gaming interruptions.
Sam Fisher: Console Covert
From what I got to play of Splinter Cell: Double Agent, it was amazingly impressive. The graphics were superb, as they always are with Tom Clancy / Ubisoft titles. Which I suspect was the cause of the meltdown of my system.
In all reality, I don’t actually blame the game or Ubisoft for the malfunction, the console was obviously having some issues, and I believe the intense graphics and processor demand of this superior next-gen game was the straw on the camel’s back.
So no hard feelings Sam Fisher, for the assassination of my X360 Unit.
Besides, if this didn’t happen, what excuse would I have to make that awesome graphic of Sam Fisher stealing my Xbox360? Exactly.
As I said, I am having another console sent over this afternoon or this weekend. So hopefully I’ll be back in the game in no time.
There are way too many great titles hitting the shelves to be out of commission for any length of time.
