360I found myself extending my lunch by about 20 minutes today due to getting sucked into Hitman: Blood Money on the 360. I was just about to make the crucial mistake of starting a new mission when the 360 auto-detected my need to get back to work and generated a “Cannot read disc” message that it is so fond of giving me. Faced with either waiting to boot up the game again (as the disc is fine) or getting back to work, I chose the latter.

Thank you, Microsoft, for your concern for my personal schedule and for forcing me to adhere to it with your none-too-subtle reminders that work has to come first. Sometimes I think you allow buggy software or shoddy hardware to slip into your products, but moments like this make me realize that you’re just looking out for my best interests.
