I Got My 360 Back! Wait… Crap.

So, I finally got my broken xbox 360 after TWO MONTHS with the system under repair somewhere in Texas. Liana was gracious enough to get dragged out of bed and come with me to the local FedEx eeaaarrrrlllyyyy this morning. As a bonus, we ate dim sum at Jade Garden, which was rather lackluster. Boo. This is for another post, but honestly… Seattle Yelpers (as a whole) do NOT have the same taste as we do. 4-stars… Blah.
Anyway, after stopping by Target to pick up a USB wireless adapter, I got home to find a link that Xbox Live is being crushed by the thousands (maybe more?) of new gamers that found a 360 under their Christmas tree. BOO. I mean, congrats for buying a great system, but you’re RUINING THE INTERNETS! RUINING IT! LOL.
So essentially, I have it. Yay, but without being able to recover my Xbox Live account on my new machine… I can only play the games in single player mode. Don’t get me wrong, that’s still ok (mostly ’cause I can play through the Halo 3 campaign on my own)… but I bought it to game with my buddies. Hee hee. I just want to play with my friends!
Someone fix it, k? Thx.
