Gaming News…

60 GB Xbox 360 are hitting stores now! This sucks for people who have filled up their 20GB 360s because in September it looks like they are cutting the price on the 60GB to $300.  Hopefully M$ will sell the 60GB Hard drives by themselves and will let us transfer all of our date from our 20GB to our 60GB that most of us would like to buy.

Willy’s Rant of the Week (WRotW)

This week’s (WRotW) topic is about something that has bugged me way back from Halo 2 and it is an issue Bungie has not addressed but I think they should.  I really hate it when you are playing an objective game on any Halo game and you really want to DIVE BOMB Suicide on top of the objective (flag, Bomb, skull) but you randomly pick up a weapon instead of the objective. Man, I really hate when that happens.  This has happened to me so many times and most of the time when it happens it is the deciding factor on whether my team won or scored a point.  It drives me insane when this happens. Bungie should really set a preference on things like that in games, like to prefer to pick up an objective over a weapon in an objective match. I don’t think it would be that hard to fix, I mean they have a setting where you can change whether you hold to crouch or you press it once and forget it.  PLEASE Bungie look into this issue because it sucks when it happens.  Because I know I am not the only one this has happened to, and if I am, wow that really sucks.

Also on a small side RANT, I really REALLY!!! Hate Comcast’s phone support when you dial 1-800-Comcast, asking for help.  I called them 4 times, 3 of those times my call got redirected to the GREATER-Chicago area and they transferred me back to Michigan where my call got dropped by them.  I finally got my problem fixed when a tech came to my house and fixed it, he even said the call center is crap as well and he works for the company (LOL).

From all of us at CE United, see you next week!
