I called the Xbox service line tonight and was rewarded by an automated message telling me that my Xbox 360 had been “fixed” (read: replaced with another, refurbed, console) and was on its way back to me.

So that’s a good thing, but in the meantime…

I’m playing through both Quake, courtesy of the Dark Places engine, and Dungeon Siege, courtesy of $10 budget releases.

I’ve also got the Witcher on hold. I’ve been putting off playing it for nearly a year now – first, it was released with hideous loading times, then by the time they’d corrected that, the word was that they were considering releasing an updated version, so I’ve been waiting on that, and the updated version finally comes out Friday for those of us who bought the UK version because we wanted more skin.

So I ought to push that near the top of the stack.

Oh, and I found Doom3, used, for $4.99, and I’m betting that it should look pretty nice on the PC I built last February, and I bought the F.E.A.R. pack with the original game and the expansions because I hear it’s actually pretty damn good at creeping you out.

So, basic’ly, I have a hell of a lot of PC gaming to do.

But I’m still glad my Xbox is on its way home.
