Bit bummed. My Xbox360 finally crapped out. It'd been having issues witht he disc drive not reading as of late so I took the initiative to get it replaced. Followed all the necessary steps I could, knowing that there's a serial key on there so I wasn't gonna do a flash on the disc drive so I did a board swap instead. But man one thing after another, console shell was super brittle and kept breaking when I took it apart even with the proper tools, and after doing the board swap and putting it all back together I kept getting a close tray on it. Messed around with it a few times more but the shell just got worse and worse and even the tray ejection button snapped off randomly. 

Guess it's time to buy a new unit! Really bummed cause I just acquired a ton of good 360 games last weekend for cheap cheap at a garage sale.

Oh my! Delta's back!

i hope the HD update turns out ok, it looks there's some widescreen implementation. But not clear if it's 4:3 ration with some side bar effects.

I'd be okay with a 4:3 presentation. My concern is actually that it might not be. Scrolling shooters adapt uniquely poorly to changes in aspect ratio, in my opinion, and I'd rather it be framed than cropped or stretched.
