My brag and moan post.

Memorex cd-burner products are worthless and their warranty support is even more worthless. I had a bum burner and sent it back to them under warranty explaining that it appeared to burn CD's but the disks were unreadable in 90% of other machines. Their $8 an hour tech decided that my CD-burner was NPF or no problem found and they shipped the same piece of sh1t back to me. Fvck Memorex hardware products forever.

Second moan is about Optorite. I was warned I would never get my rebate from that shady outfit and it was true. They too suck.

Third, Best Buy sucks. They sold me a warranty on a laptop that they refused to honor. Luckily the product was financed by them and I told them I wouldn't take it back unless they fixed it. They got to keep a worthless product and threaten me that I would be charged if I didn't come pick it up. The charge went away and they still send me advertisements. :p

So the moral of this story is avoid Memorex, Optorite, and Best Buy. :D

Quick brag involving Best Buy of all places. Just went and scored a copy of Wind Waker and Animal Crossing for ~$28 using the 2-for-25 deal. Not bad at all.

Moan: Compusa sold me a Mobiblu Device DAH-1000 for 118$. It was working for about 3 months and then when I tried to upload new songs to it, it stopped working immediately. I don't know why?! I tried numerous things to fix it, but at the end none of them worked. So I decided to take my mp3 device and " try" to bring it back to Compusa. When I explained them what has happened, they told me " We don't know anything", " Call the manufacturer" (no phone number only website and e-mail). I then called and spend numerous minutes with them on the phone and it got nowhere. They told me a technician would call me in few days. I'm now waiting 4 days and nobody has called me yet.
" Norwood Illuminated Optical Mouse" from Compusa worked for 3 monthes and dead now. I open a manual and it says "90 days limited warranty".
No comments. Just don't know what to do with the MP3 player.

Brag:

Got an eVGA 6800NU off eBay for $195 a while back. It unlocks flawlessly, and the memory overclocks to 850mhz. This thing has been running strong for half a year, and kickin butt! :thumbsup:
