    XBOX just packed in

    For the last 5 months I have been looking forward to a couple of weeks off and playing the xbox 10 hours a day.

    First day of my holiday I get the red ring of death on the 360. This one is a replacement for the last one that blew up.

    AAARRRGHHHH.

            Do it...you know it makes sense!

            Failing that I think the trick is to reboot it three times and then sacrifice a chicken?

                  If it was bought before November 2007 the chances are you have the old unreliable chipset, since then they've released the Falcon chipset and I think there's an even newer one now.

                  They do cover RROD for 3 years mind.

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
