Finally! MW2 and a TV to play it on.

Okay, I don’t feel as though I’m being unreasonable in saying that 1 week, is waaaaay to long for GameFly to effectively ship me a game. MW2 was mailed last monday, and just arrived TODAY. Considering that same day, the TV was removed from my domocile for a 1-2 week repair, the fact that MW2 wasn’t going to arrive for a few days was essentally moot.
Magically the TV arrives on Friday, having only had a few bad capacitors, as I’d already figured since this issue is somewhat well documented on the interweb. Alas, Friday’s mail arrives, no MW2, nor Saturday. Crap, it had to travel roughly 300 miles. I could have walked that far sooner.
No matter, all is forgiven. I’m playing now and that’s what counts.
This week is looking up.

Modern Fucking Warfare 2. It’s on its way according to Gamefly, oh and via FastReturn! no less. So maybe by Weds it will be here. While Gamefly has been delivering a better experience recently, I’ve noticed that shipping times, and occasionally return times are extended by a day more than what I’ve seen in the past. But all is forgiven, as my return of ODST via Friday’s mail has yielded Modern Warfare 2.
Now all that remains for this week to really rock is the arrival of the TV repairman. I’ve really enjoyed owning my Samsung LNT4065F for the last two years, and I got some good warranty service on it via Samsung in the first few months. But now we’re into the extended warranty via Circuit City’s contracted guys, so we’ll see how this goes. The last TV I had was a Sony 27″ CRT, which while perhaps less glamorous was still a near top of the line set at the time. That lasted 10 years, with one repair, also on a Circuit City contract. Here’s hoping I can get anywhere near that length of time out of the current one.
Stupid TV. Be less broken.

Well, it’s not totally broken, but it has started to do its power-up cycle twice before actually getting the picture up. I think that’s bad.
Too bad, I really like it. It being a Samsung LNT4065F for last 2+ years has been great. My previous TV a 26″ Sony CRT lasted about 10 years, and cost considerably less, sooooo…
Luckily enough, I did get the warranty from Circuit City, so provided that someone will honor the warranty given CC’s bankruptcy last year, I should be okay I guess. But I’ve heard they’re more likely to give store credit than to fix the existing one sometimes. That could suck.
