My Ring Hurts
So… it’s come to this.
I just finish Call Of Duty 4 and get ready for some serious online multiplayer killing and my xbox decides to go tits on me and display the dreaded Red Ring Of Death when I power it on.
Like a good corporate Microsoft bitch I logged it with their Xbox Repair website knowing full well that this particular issue is a common one and therefore forced Microsoft to give an extra 2 years warranty on top of the usual year.
I now await the Xbox Coffin to arrive to spirit it away to the Xbox Hospital to be mended. Hopefully they will seek pity on me and send back one of the slightly newer hardware revision models with a nice juicy HDMI port on too!
I can only hope. They will probably pre-load Vista 360 onto it and that will be the end of my gaming days, as the included joypad won’t have any working drivers!
Well, it's not a giant lizard slaying robot and its not a new religion.
There is a proper MS tech term for it isn’t there?
It’s “Oh bollocks” I believe.
I just read this article that details the failure rates and causes from an insider source!
Interesting…
