Gamers, check out SumGiant!

There are so many sites now devoted to all kinds of specialties. I have seen sites that are devoted to sports forums to specific video games. Well, I ran across one of the most unique ones so far, and it is SumGiant. They help you track all of your gaming "feats" store the information for you! I am not a huge gamer, but the concept of this site is really cool! I know that all the members of "Gamers on Campus" would love it too!

If you are tired of memorizing all of your gaming accomplishments like a lot of others, then maybe you keep notebooks. Or maybe a word document if you are really smart. Well, throw those ideas out the window, because SumGiant is definitely the way to go! By using their site you can select a specific game, look at all of the different feats there are to accomplish, and then you can simply check off the box of each feat, as you accomplish it. One of the other cool things, is that after you finish the feat, it will add the goal and the point value for that goal to your profile!

SumGiant is totally free and easy to sign up for! Simply visit their site, register for an account, and start having fun! Don't hesitate to contact them with any questions you may have and check out their FAQ section.

Xbox 360 (xbox360) repairs cost Microsoft $1B (1 Billion dollars)!

So, I am a huge Xbox360 fan and have owned one since the day they came out. However, I can't really stick up for them when I hear people talk about all the problems they seem to have. I know I have personally gone through 3 Xbox360's myself, which just should not be the case. I don't treat it poorly, and try to take care of it, and they still seem to break down.

I was NOT surprised to hear that Microsoft has lost over 1 billion dollars ($1B) due to these repairs.

"Microsoft Corp. said Thursday said it would take a more than $1 billion charge to fix "an unacceptable number of repairs" to its Xbox 360 video game consoles and had missed shipment targets for the end of June."

I hope they figure this problem out, because it is really going to start to hurt Microsoft A LOT if they don't!
