The Fail Console

I've had pretty bad luck with major electronics just quitting on me: computers, mp3 players, vcrs, and an xbox. My 360 has been fine for the past eighteen months, then last week not so much. Figured I was better than the "red ring of light." Wrong. I don't use it that much, just the occasional dvd, halo, or guitar hero - so I expected it to last awhile. Ah well, whatever. No real complaints here, I just think its funny since this keeps with a trend of mine.

The kid that lives in the house where I am staying had this happen to his 360. He sent it in to Microsoft and they sent him a new one within something like 10 days. I was impressed with that.

yeah turnaround should be pretty quick, and you can even setup an service request online. still sucks, though.

Yeah, I've heard it should be pretty fast. I suppose it was bound to happen at some point.
