Core

[c4pt1n54n0]

@Watcher3223 except the 3 light ring just means that there is a power failure, which 99% of the time means its either not plugged into the power block all the way, or the power block needs to be replaced

[Dragonsrule89]

oh man, i need one of those gaming calendars...

[AVGN92]

so you have a lauch xbox 360? Has it red ringed on you yet? I'm surprised something like the drive belt broke before the red rings happened with such an old system.

[jdtemplar]

Halo is Ok i will agree, but how long in the cycle are you going to keep buying a system at 200 bucks. please tell me you only have had to buy a replacement twice.

[jdtemplar]

Thats smart buy another shit box so it can break too. I don't get that logic!

[adiblasi]

The logic is very simple. I enjoy the Halo franchise with family members and friends, which, as you know, is exclusive to the Xbox platform. You asked for the logic -- there it is. It's all about the software. Does that make sense to you?

[Branhower1]

ROFL, luckily my sticker was a little offset and the edges were hanging off the drive. If it was an Apple product, I'm pretty sure that wouldn't have happened!

[totallyapple]

The Xbox wasn't out of warranty, Microsoft gave the Xbox 360 a 3 year warranty so you will be good wiil 09'!

[Watcher3223]

Technically, the 3 year warranty only applies if you have a general hardware failure indication on the front panel of the console (the three lights red ring of death).

[CheenoToCool]

that was in 2008 360's

[EatenSniperGuy]

@totallyapple They only give you 3 fuckin years If you have the RROD. With this problem, they only give you 1 fuckin year

[Brnboy313]

oh woops forget it. nice job getting the sticker off alfred

[Brnboy313]

yay Gears of war!! whats ur gamertag alfred?

[futurehollywood22]

hahaha lolololol rayman for the freakin wii system. dave, that bum.

[RadioVox07]

So do you plan on getting one of the Halo 3 Edition Xbox 360s? Seems like they took your idea haha

[Gamer604]

[Tanner874]

Lol, yo I love your video.

[adiblasi]

Thanks, Tanner!

[harshash]

xbox 360 is best

[adiblasi]

Agreed, a great system.

[suburbanninja01]

comment 100!

[S7R1K3Z0R]

Hahah, don't worry too much. microsoft knows their stuff when it comes to support. I was one of those xbox(original players) and when 360 came out I switched to PC gaming. I havn't even touched a 360! But my nice PC keeps me happy. If Microsoft was actually smart they should release halo 3 as a vista/xbox thing and not release a halo game for PC 2 years after release *cough* halo 2. I hear gears of war is coming out for PC but I'm looking out for Unreal tournament 3, Crysis and Quake wars.

[annoyedwithsignup]

Buy a PS3.

Lol.

[SCoooooool]

The same thing happened to me I had a core from the start and they gave me a brand new one and I had to wait two and a half weeks. Thanks Microsoft.

[Gamer604]

dude i have a wii and i rented rayman, it is not

worth it should have of got Gears.

[Gamer604]

hey al im thinkin of getting a 360, the thing is im not a bank so do u think i should get the core rightaway or wait 2 more weeks and get the premium ?

[adiblasi]

Hey G - wait the two for the premium - or consider a used premium from people trading up to an Xbox Elilte, which is just 'black', with HDMI output and a bigger hard drive. You need the HD to play older games, such as Halo 2 (the emulator needs the HD). See you on XBL!

[SCoooooool]

Wait one more week and get the premiun.

[PirateMyke]

That was hysterical!!!

[adiblasi]

Hi Mike - thanks. Are you getting the Halo 3 beta?

[PirateMyke]

actually this might sound stupid.. but i wanna wait till September for the final release so everything is a big surprise and all that... i've tried to avoid most of the videos and info online... so i'm being brave and holding off till then!

[adiblasi]

MYKE - I played last night -- it's soooooooooooooo gooooooooooooood. Really. Just play. Get the Crackdown with the Halo 3 Beta -- the beta is only up for a few weeks!

[MacNerd1239]

HALO EDITION!!!!

[elchamber]

Hey I am interested in purchasing the core system. Is it worth it? I am not interested in the XBOX live. I just want to play games and save locations or memory.

[jackpierce10]

are yousure the ms automated phone system didnt BSOD while you where on there

[gamerman1000]

im not a Ftard and your frend is a moron for not buying GOW thats a slap on the wrist

[smokylicious]

I have the worst f'ing luck. My 2nd replacement xbox 360 just arrived right now, I hooked it up and everything... and guess what? Same exact problem! They didn't even fix it! now it's back to repair center for the 3rd time! Alfred i need your advice man!

[lile2780]

what version u got?

[smokylicious]

Yo alfred guess what... My second xbox 360 just f'ed up again.. can you believe that? I have enough money for another xbox 360 but now im just skeptical cuz what am I going to do if this one breaks too?.. thats 2 of them to be shipped off and crap.. damn it! Any advice on this?...

[MajinUub]

Halo edition =D

[dinopuglia]

Now lets see Sony do that for the PS3, They wont even cover the PS3 if you use third party cables.What a joke!

[Ki33ran]

All i can't say is. Wow.

[phaseless]

Alfred, Did you return the second one? or are you just going to keep it?

[adiblasi]

Tommy! - holy crap, I didn't even send the busted one back to Microsoft! It's on the to-do list for this week. Thanks for watching. - Alfred

[KtSsNipEYAx15]

Ur 2 RICh,META! ha

[PunchSportDrink]

I never get tired of this video.

"I'm pissed off."

XD! Makes me laugh everytime. I don't know why.

Ra!

Come visit sometime bro.

-Justin

[adiblasi]

Let the record be set that one of the reasons for running out and getting that Core system was so that I could play Chrome Hounds with Justin PunchSportDrink -- why? Because he is just so damn f_cking cool.

[thecreativeone]

Hahaha! I watched this video again and forgot about my "shout out." Hahaha, nice!

[adiblasi]

David! You forget -- because you were playing that F_CKING WII SYSTEM! Damn you. You owe me a lot of Halo 2 time, you bum! :) My buddy, David. LOL! Thanks for re-watching! - Alfred

[waverideproductions]

what type of cam are you using

im lookin to replace my 6 year old HI8 camcorder

so id appreciate it

[adiblasi]

HI WaveRide - I am using a Sanyo C6. It is a tiny, MPEG recorder that goes straight to a memory card. I then import the MPEG files into iMovie, which converts the MPEGS back to "FF Class" DV files, so I can edit them. 1 gig memory card = about 1 hour. Battery life is about 1 hour. No tape. Bottom line is that you shoot, then save on your hard drive! I love it, because I can bring it anywhere! Thanks for watching! - Alfred

[adiblasi]

Hi Wave, I am filming with a Sanyo C6 MPEG recorder. It's pretty good, and it's really small! Let me know if you have any questions. - Alfred

[jstone1117]

good to know someone else with add

atal u have to use medicine have to use stratera

[aribenzane]

LOL Al you make me crack up every time. But really, you have waaaay too much money... :P

[adiblasi]

Nope. Note true. I spent it all on the crap you see in these videos. I should have purchased a boat. But then again, gaming and PC/Mac computing does save one from skin cancer! Good rationale, right? Thx for watching - Alfred

[smokylicious]

Mine broke on the 30th of december, lil over a week ago, I called xbox 360 support and got through them pretty quick too. But the part that really gets me is, My girlfriend got me that xbox HOURS before it just stopped working due to an update! And keep up the videos Alfred! You got yourself a new watcher here!

[adiblasi]

Smoky - I wrote you an email but it won't send. Damn. Make sure you watcn the video Meta 360 - and then add "Meta 360" to your XBL friends list - that's "Meta" (space) and the numbers "360" - I'll give u the backstory on that vid when I see you on XBL. - Alfred

[MultimediaJay]

Hopefully you don't gag too much if I mention I just got a Playstation 2 yesterday. Yeah, I'm finally starting on PS2. ROFL! :-D

[MultimediaJay]

Note on your warranty. MS extended a bunch of warranties because of all these recurring problems. The article was on Gamespot a few days ago.

[mchief190]

Hi Alfred, im back!

Wow you know how much i love your video game related vids and this one is no different, the 360 core system is a cool backup but one question why did you spring for the memory card while you the HDD? Oh your friend just insulted me with Rayman..man im pissed..

Nobody disses Gears with me around..oh yeah 5 stars all the way !!

[adiblasi]

MC - I"ll tell you 'why' on the memory card... because I dumped all three of my gamer accounts to it, so I could keep playing during my New York visit on Christmas day! LOL! I'm glad I did, so I didn't have to do account recovery. Thx for watching! - Alfred

[lynch390]

LMFAO YOUR FUCKING HILARIOUS."DAVID WHY? WHAT EVER".Your accent is priceless.

[adiblasi]

Accent? What accent?? LOL! Thanks for watching lynch. More to come, so stay tuned! :) - Alfred

[tehXalo]

My question is...who are you going to give that regular xbox360 to when you get your new one? :)

[adiblasi]

Oh man.... you're the third person to ask LOL! Let's say I"m gonna keep it as a spare for LAN parties... LOL! :)

[sdubois92]

how do u get all this money?

seriously

[adiblasi]

Hard and smart work. No handouts. But, it's all spent. :)

[dieBirne]

haha, whoa! dude, what are you gonna do with it when you get the other one back from service? :o)

[cssniper06]

Haha, funny video, nice one Alfred. Nice ending, hehe. Yes David, you right arm abandoned you for the 360's prettier sister (Wii). Have a great new year. See ya.

[adiblasi]

Eric! Yes, David, that BUM left me to play with his Wii. What a bum. I might have to just switch to CounterStrike Source now... :) Alfred

[cssniper06]

omg! u joking? Because I have Counter-Strike: Source! So just let me know when your ready to get yourself sniped and ill be ready. Who knows, Dave might decide to also tag along. I like how you do your "ahhh!" so unique. TTYL

[adiblasi]

Eric, yes, we will be Sourcing soon!

[MultimediaJay]

"That BUM left me to play with his Wii." That sounds so WRONG, especially if you say it out loud. ROFL! :-P

[adiblasi]

Good point, Jay!

[MultimediaJay]

I can't diss the Wii anymore. I just got one yesterday. =D

[adiblasi]

Jay, you got that piece of shit? C'mon....

[MultimediaJay]

What?!  I'm not the one with a PS3! :-P

[adiblasi]

Jay, PLEASE make a video of you playing Wii Tennis. PLEASE. I want to see that! And make sure you use your announcer voice and do what you do best. This could be Wii Aerobics with MultiMedia Jay!

[MultimediaJay]

THAT'S IT! YOU ASKED FOR IT!!!  >=O

Literally. =D

[MultimediaJay]

Video Response Complete. =)

[futurehollywood22]

[futurehollywood22]

hey alfred, this is a test

i tried to comment your "WII" video and it didnt work

[Skrapper]

Yeah. This seems like a good place to share our addictions. So i confess that i have a video game addiction (people clapping)...hahaha!

[wvziccardi]

haha.... HAPPY NEW YEAR UNCLE AL!

[jalland]

This is the second time I can spot an Apple sticker on your refridgerator! cool. And nice calendar! haha

Hmm.. glad Microsoft will fix your machine! Feels great when a big company does something like that :D

And BTW.. Are you going to buy a PS3? Just wondering.

[adiblasi]

J, I was lucky to score a PS3 for about $50 over the 'regular price.' Sad part is that I have not even hooked it up yet -- to busy with the holidays, travelling, family/friends, etc. However, this week, I will set it up to play "Resistance". More to come... - Alfred

[jalland]

haha, you bought it, but haven't hooked it up yet... That's crazy LOL

[Ki33ran]

Yeah! Buy another one RIGHT NOW! =P

Have fun!

[adiblasi]

Yes, that was, without doubt, the ADD kicking in. I need it... NOW. Thanks for watching! - Alfred

[madmac625]

I don't have Gears yet, you didn't mention me.. :-P

[adiblasi]

get it, Get it. GET IT! Send me some Halo2 invites, and bring your original Xbox up to the campus so you can jump into a game or two! - Uncle Al

[someidiotinnj]

Hahahaha, oh man... that is THE best shout-out yet. Thanks! =D I'll get GoW soon; don't you worry! I'm just really hooked on trying new experiences with my Wii lately. We had company over tonight and Wii Sports was a hit! We also played some Marvel Super Heroes: Ultimate Alliance or whatever it's called for the PlayStation 3. Good stuff!

[adiblasi]

Some Idiot In New Jersey?

[MultimediaJay]

Pfft. The belt broke. What DOESN'T break on these things. Aieesh. :-P

Makes me wonder what would happen if you had a PS3... =-O

[adiblasi]

Jay, I do have a PS3. I just haven't opened up that system yet. Blue Ray. Hi-Def DVD. Oh man -- what a great pissing match. I really dig that Sony tries to deliver that Blu Ray will give you a better gaming experience. Oh yea, like what the hell are they going to put on the extra space of the DVD? The games are mostly rendered by mathematics-driven engines and numeric tables. So, what - more cinematic cut scenes? More to come on the PS3. - Alfred

[MultimediaJay]

My question was would you shell out another $600 just like that if it broke. The fact that you "just bought" another 360 like you were going to the store for a loaf of bread would floor most folks where I live. =D

[Meleski01]

another great video. sorry to hear about your 360, sorry also for all the chainsaw bayonet whoopings i had to hand out on Gears Of War lol. looking forward to another game soon.

[adiblasi]

Corey - oh, don't worry, the Core system is up and running. Bring it on my friend... :) - Alfred

[Arsenium154]

Awesome Man Hope you get it fixed! Oh Yeah Another Video is coming

[Meina16]

HOW DARE HE!

[adiblasi]

Rayman... of all games... for a Wii... of all systems! LOL! Thanks for watching! - Alfred

[Meina16]

your welcome

[tylerlavite]

lol thats micro$oft :) i wish i had an x-box.. but hell no im not spending that on no console! even though i hate microsuck i would get an x-box before i buy another playstation.

[adiblasi]

Tyler, the Xbox is a great gaming platform. Did you know that the Apple G5 was the development platform for the Xbox 360? It's based on a PowerPC. Used original Xbox's go for about $80, and the games came down quite a bit in price for the original system, which is still tight as hell! Good stuff. :) - Alfred

[tylerlavite]

wow u did not know that! thats awsome.. i might pic me up an old one. ive been stuck on the crappy PS2 for a while i love my PSP though! lol i have them Apple videos on my PSP :)

[adiblasi]

I love the PSP as well. I play the new Star Trek: Tactical Assault game on the plane! LOL! Yes, the original Xbox is a great platform, and you can get it really inexpensively now -- I'll tell you what games to get if you look into it -- of course, Halo 2 is a must! - Alfred

[XMattingly]

Alfred, you are no doubt a hardcore gaming addict. :) I think all three of the new systems are built with IBM processors, aren't they?

[adiblasi]

Hi Chris - actually, I think you are correct - they are on the PowerPC architecture -- not sure if IBM or Motorola is supplying 'what' to 'who' - haha, maybe a hacker will get OS X running on them!

[futurehollywood22]

TARGSHIT lol!

[adiblasi]

Ohh, you noticed when I said that I see. LOL! Thanks for watching! - Alfred

[ShazzaFreak]

Holy Wii Wii! Obsessed much? LOL. You're killing me. You just couldn't wait...could you? Embracing your game freak... I love it!

[adiblasi]

Yes, I could NOT wait. Really. Terrible. New Year's Eve -- and I'm doing some heavy gaming. All good I guess :) Thanks for watching Shazza! Happy New Year! - Alfred

[RoccosHouse]

Hahahah that was awesome bro! I'm fucking HAMMERED right now man. How is that game "gears of war" ? I heard it was suppose to be great but I had to sell my 360 before the game came out.

Was it really a good game?

[adiblasi]

Rocco! Happy New Year my friend. Yes, the game is amazing, if you like shooting aliens -- and who doesn't! Once you get caught up with all of your holiday stuff, you will have to get a 360 again and Xbox Live so we can play. Then our YouTube fans will NEVER see any more vids come out of us, unless I do screen captures of the game play! LOL! Happy New Year! - Alfred

[PunchSportDrink]

I will try and recreate the greatest match of all time.

00: 17- You have 4 enemy contacts moving towards your position. Advise you pull back to the friendly COMBAS and wait for backup.

17: Sorry J- ADD

17: God damn, I can't see shit in all this sand.

12: Hey who the fuck is shooting me?

17: Oh. I think it was me.

[Later, on the phone.]

Alfred: I was shooting that bastard on purpose to see what he'd do. I don't care as long as I get the kill.

[adiblasi]

That's my friend (I was going to type gamer friend, but he's transcended that status) Justin. Oh man, we have some GREAT LAUGHS over XBL. Thanks for the fun times and the random phone calls, J-Dawg. You, my friend, totally ROCK! RA! - Alfred

[superwookiee]

That's a cool video. It sucks that your 360 broke...but at least microsoft extended the warranty on all xbox 360s for christmas. (not sure if you got the email) btw, hit me up on xbox live! gt is kaptain wookiee

[adiblasi]

Dude, you got it! What games are you playing?

[superwookiee]

I play halo 2, gears of war, quake 4, tony hawks american wasteland, and battlefield 2: modern combat. I used to have G.R.A.W., but unfortunately I lost it :(.

[PunchSportDrink]

XBOX 360 HALO 2 EDITION!

Ra!

A touch of ADD?

00: 17- you've got 4 enemy Mechs inbound on your position. Advise you pull back to COMBAS and wait to backup.

17: Sorry J- ADD.

Moments later, Meta finds himself in the midst of a shit-ton of sand.

17: God damnit I can't see shit here. GOD DAMN DON'T WALK IN FRONT OF ME!

Ra. Thanks Meta.

[therealjennibum]

You know what I would like to see as a video game? I think you should create a video game about yourself! I could dress the "Virtual Alfred" in different clothes, or no clothes, transvesite, makeup, tattoos, or Red-Neck accent. Basically, it would be a SIM CITY-esque game starring Alfred. This would mean so much to all those who worship you. We could manipulate you and primp you, time and time again. Now, I would buy that for a dollar.

[adiblasi]

Jenni! Thanks for watching. Wow, what a great idea for a software proeduct. Tell me -- you are getting a master's degree, so you are very bright. If I play that particular video game, would I technically be 'playing with myself?' LOL! Happy New Year to you. I look forward to taking you and Shazza out to dinner when I visit your area! Warm regards - Alfred
