Yesterday afternoon, I went out and bought an XBOX 360, after having been assured by a Gamestop employee (Admittedly not the most unbiased source, but more likely to follow this than I had over the past two years or so) that the famous Red Ring of Death problem that plagued early models had been fixed. I also picked up a game for it–actually, two games, the second of which I didn’t even realize I was getting thanks to my not checking the back of the box: Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Forza Motorsport 2. Today I played some Ultimate Alliance (And by “some” I mean “about 20 minutes worth”), and it’s pretty fun in that take-control-of-a-bunch-of-Marvel-characters-and-beat-the-snot-out-of-villains way.

Of course, the Special Edition of the real reason I got the 360 isn’t out for another month yet.
