Just in case you didn't think I was a grumpy moron already.....

I fancied a quick go on Star Wars the Force Unleashed on my XBOX 360 which went something like this:

• Dig out system and set it up
• Switch on and get error message. Won't boot up
• Ok, no problem. Give it quick tap and power cycle. Same issue again
• Hmm, looks like a HDD issue
• Disassemble HDD caddy and connect to PC
• Wheres my USB-SATA device? balls! 15 mins later its found
• Connect to PC
• PC wont read it. Connect to MacBook. That wont read it either
• Find some dodgey software probably riddled with porn viruses. Still no luck. HDD probably goosed
• Sounds like its spinning up now though, I'll try it back in the system
• Ah, its working. Play Force Unleashed. Yay the Vader level at the beginning
• Spend 10 mins and make it through the level to be confronted by a Jedi who decides to disappear into the ground leaving me with nowhere to go and no way to end the battle
• Grumbled and switched off XBOX with excessive force. Lots of comedy fist waving
• Plugged Revenge of Shinobi into Mega Drive and played it
• Smiled

Modern gaming is disappointing. Other opinions may vary.
