So I don't really post blogs anymore. Mostly because my life is dull and yeah yeah.

Anyway, my brother from a different mother has a business down in California [I think I've mentioned his services a couple of times] and I'm now working with him to expand up to the Pacific Northwest...and Beyooooonnnd.

Okay.

So, anyway, his business is console repair. He's like the rainman of consoles. He was fixing the red ring of death back when Microsoft had their thumbs up their asses. He was actually one of the first to fix the problem. I would say THE first, but we have no way of verifying that.

So the local business is thriving, but I've finally talked him into putting together a facebook and an official .com website, and I'd really appreciate it if those of you with facebook accounts would 'like' the account. We'll be setting up facebook advertising at the end of week/month when we finalize our shipping issues, but whatever you guys can do as far as liking the page and then getting your pals to like it would be just swell.

Additionally, if any of you should ever need a repair, and you actually do manage to leave the forums long enough to log into facebook and like this fucking page, we'll repair your shit at a steep discount.

Thanks.

Oh, and I know it should be 'Junkies', instead of 'Junkys', but the bastard won't hear me out.

The Aforementioned page.

Going rate for Red Ring of Death repair is about 65, but if you guys actually like the page and drag some people along with you we'd drop the repair fee down to thirty, which is essentially what it costs us to ship.

Coincidentally, gamestop and other stores will give you about thirty dollars for an xbox that has 'ringed out', only to refurbish it themselves and sell it back to the public for a couple hundred dollars. Your call.

If it was a situation that required part replacement it would depend on the parts, but a discount would still be warranted.

I knew I shouldn't have accepted your request.

Then again, I've lost track of the number of members whose request I've ignored and deleted.

I'm on my second 360 (2008-Present)

My first one I got a few months after launch and Microsoft didn't do shit (back when the warranty was 90 days and not three years), so I know the frustration.

Ye have my support.

The trick is to let you approach us first once your need becomes to great. Subtle manipulation to achieve this tiny victory.

Done and done. I actually prefer Junky's, myself. Makes it sound like "This shop is owned by the one and only Junky."

And he looks like this.


MAKE IT SO.

Thanks to everyone who liked the page. Promote the shit out of it.

And I know a lot of you aren't in the states so shipping seems like it would be a pain, but it won't. We've got it covered.

Oh, and T-nex, he works on everything. He likes working on sony stuff a lot. So, yeah.

It depends. What's going on with it?

Edit: my original answer was vague. I'm waiting for Elvis to get back in touch with me so I can give you a definite answer.

facebook.com/consolejunkys is the direct URL.

As far as the ipod goes, it sounds like a nay. I know it's costly and a hassle to schedule anything with apple, but apparently if we even crack it open they won't touch it in the future. Although if it's just the backlight I can see if I can change his mind.

Playing hard to get keeps people interested.

Also I didn't see it for eight of those months.

Thanks again to those who are liking and sharing.

One of my favorite local stores is a 'used media outlet' called Chumleighs, so I completely love this idea. Junkies makes more sense now, too.

Also could I happen to buy a used Nintendo DS for super-cheap through you guys? Super cheap in that the gameboy slot is broken or something. Just curious.
