So a couple weeks ago my 360 died. I sent it off to MS and they sent me a replacement that arrived last night once UPS realized that in an apartment with buildings labeled A-Z trying to deliver a package to apartment “15″ is a difficult endeavor to say the least.

Anyway, I hooked up all the cables, resynced the controllers and had a rollicking good time playing Rock Band, which I’ve missed dearly. However, later that night I tried to play Puzzle Quest, and the Xbox would have none of that. I was restricted to the trial version, and no matter how many times I deleted and re-downloaded the game and regardless of my heartfelt pleas and various sacrifices (cats are surprisingly hard to kill), it wouldn’t work. Thus, Microsoft’s antiquated and utterly stupid DRM rules have gotten me, and I’m furious.

Anyone know how to fix this without talking to “Max” the Microsoft automaton?

Here’s a fun game, let’s take bets at how long I’m on the phone before I realize that no one on the other end can help me and I smash both my Xbox and my phone in a fit of rage.

I’m setting the over/under at an hour and twenty-three minutes.
