11:24 PM - Blockbuster online, xbox
I just cancelled my blockbuster online service. For several months, it was a very good service. They offered unlimited in-store swaps of DVDs and I had absolutely no problems with DVDs playing. Over the last two months, I've had nothing but bad DVDs. At least 5/9 discs have been cracked and glued back together. They won't play in any of my players or computers. I'm sick of reporting the discs and waiting for new ones to come. I'd complain to them, but they don't offer a lot of feedback options on their website. It's possible that it is just my service center (in lansing) or bad luck with the discs I'm renting. I may go back to netflix, but for a few months I'll just buy DVDs. At $10 a month, I can walk into best buy and just pick up a movie or two. I actually bought one movie for $4 recently there.
Caryn sold my original xbox on Ebay for ~$65. It included two controllers and 14 games. I found that I'm not playing games as much with mbsd. When I do, it is often the Wii now. We need a new tv stand anyway. We'll put the money toward that.
