Wherein Murphy's Law kicks me in the groin

[CancelMyService]

So in one of those Unfortunately/Fortunately things, my weekend plans got pretty much shot in the ass by my wife getting called in to work (on call jobs suck ) but it gave me the chance to have some quality time with my new XBox 360 I bought a few weeks ago.

Some of you gamer types may know where this is leading.


So I played an older XBox game for a while and put in a new game I just picked up today. It played for a while and kind of froze on a menu. I figure maybe the disc isn't sitting in the tray right, so I reboot the unit and WHADDYAKNOW I get to be introduced to that villain to all XBox owners, The Red Ring Of Death

It's covered of course since even though it was a refurb it still has a warranty from where I got it. I shouldn't have any issue getting it fixed, but the first weekend I had to actually play it since I've been painting my mother's house was a shitty time for it to bite the big one on me.

I hate that Red Ring of Death. Atleast, I was able to bring my bosses 360 home and take it back during the day.

That is the biggest reason that I still haven't thought about getting an xbox360

Dude, I remember when the Red Ring of Death was an EPIDEMIC! Zombie 360s were every where. There was no place to hide! The only cure was you had to return the machine so it could be repaired by the undead techs!
