So I got a call from my credit card company today. They won't be renewing my account.
So yeah, until I get a new one I won't be playing.

I went WAY over my limit when I bought my Xbox 360 and because the amount was excessive and I waited until they notified me to pay the amount. Because of that they said they see no reason to allow me to renew. I knew that my purchase would put me over my limit but I didn't know this would happen.
So far everyone I have contacted has turned me down and I can't get a Check Card through my bank until June when my account hits the one year mark. I'm gonna try the bank I have my student loans through next. I have a good reputation with them so I'm hoping they'll at least consider it.

If you have a fer hundred Gil errr..... bucks stashed somewhere try getting a Secured Credit Card.
You put the bucks in a savings account. The bank links it to a credit card with (suprise) a credit limit the same as the inital balance. You can have more cash in it that the inital balance, but unless you specificaly ask to have the credit limit raised it will not change. You cannot use the secured balance, but you still collect interest on it.
Pay down to 0 every month and your interest will take a bite out of your Anual fees.

Well, considering that this is the one-year anniversary of my PS2's death and upon my return my old character was gone (And her WHM was one level lower than Keavy's ) I am going to do everything I can to get back before the end of July which is when there is a possibility she will be deleted.
Saddest part of all is I bought the Xbox 360 so I could play this game because I was scared the PS2 I have might die on me like the last one did.

Well this is just great. My roommate said I could use his card to cover my stuff as long as I pay him back and I'm all "Woo hoo!" so I go to log into PlayOnline to change the info and my PS2 won't turn on.
No f***ing joke. The "Standby" light is on but I can't get it to work. If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go cry.

{/comfort} maybe a little "light persuation" will help it turn on?

Read the POL update.
They will soon be accepting different types of debit cards now, and not mostly credit cards.
Things like Solo, Switch and stuff. Cool!

I'm gonna sell it once I get my Xbox 360 back. FedEx swears they delivered it and Microsoft swears they never received it so its a huge mess and I just want my Xbox 360 /cry.

That game was taken out of print shortly after it was released. I heard some Blockbuster's no longer carry it because the copies they had were rented and never returned!

I expected 1 week to a month for over-seas delivery, not 4 months
Taken out of print? Weird, it's only recently been released in UK... I'm quite temped to go and buy it anyways, can always trade it back if the other copy arrives

I'll have to see about that.
The DS is regionless unlike Sony's consoles (Grrr)

DS for teh win! The PSP games are region free but their crappy UMD or whatever they call it aren't
I've also heard the PS3 will be region free, and recently the PSP has dropped in price (by £100), that tells me Sony are getting a bit desparate. Getting uneasy about their competition, much? Not too much, a much too much!

Yeah, here in the U.S. too the PSP is selling OK but the DS honestly has better games and better battery life.
As for the UMD movies, I told everyone those would not last and sure enough, they're discontinuing them.
In Japan...No contest. DS is slaughtering the PSP.

Hehe definately way better battery life, a PSP won't last a long bus trip. Kinda removes the usefulness of a handheld, doesn't it?
I need a game for my DS that won't be completed in 2 days
a lot of decent DS games are JP onry (probably 'cause based on anime) which is maybe why DS is kicking butt over there, not to mention the new release of the DS Lite *strokes sexy DS Lite*

I SO wanna DS Lite. "All the flavor of the DS with half the calories"
PSP has a few games that make me wanna at least check it out but until I see an improvement on battery life and a big price drop on the console (I'm talking retail at $150 USD) I see no reason to get one.
DS I will get when I can afford a DS Lite.
P.S. Look at my sig to see how I feel about the PSP ad campaigns.

Heh well currently you can get a DS Lite imported for $199(USD) methinks, that's if they have stock in, I had to wait a month for mine
Haven't seen any PSP ads in a while, they'll probably be a bit different from your ones anyways.
