After a long wait I finally went and picked up my playstation from the UPS store. As I was driving home all I could think about was how I’m going to kill some people. Then when I was getting the Playstation out of the back sit I turned around and the box slipped coming out of my hand, but luckily I caught myself and saved myself from buying a brand new one. After that almost accident I brought my dearly loved possession inside and brought it downstairs to my gaming zone. I flipped open the box cutter I got from work and sliced right through the packaging tape as fast as possible. I was surprised to see how brand new the Playstation looked; I swore Sony said this thing is definitely broken so we’re just going to give this person a brand new one. There was no way Sony could’ve cleaned my playstation up to look that good. Then I had to take it out of the Styrofoam to see the PS3 wrapped in a thin protecting screen that I had to peel off. The whole time I was opening it I was thinking to myself how awesome it’s going to be when I finally log on for the first time in three weeks.

I came to find out that they replaced my hard drive and everything that was previously on it was wiped clean. I actually had to re-set up the whole PS3, and that process took longer than I thought, so technically I didn’t start playing until an hour later. Before I could play I had to pick my language, date, time, set up wireless connection and my account. Then I was able to play the greatest game ever created, CoD MW2. Since Sony replaced my hard drive I lost all my saved game progress, so if I were to play the campaign mode I would have to start all over, but I can play online where I left off because that has nothing to do with the single player. This whole process isn’t the first time that it has happened, a while ago about three months after I got it, it broke and I had to do all of the same steps. Thank god I didn’t have to talk to anyone stationed over in India or else I probably would have been even angrier.
