Yes, I did experience the Red Ring Of Death — How'd you guess?

After a little under 2 months of very light usage, my XBOX 360 died.  I was impressed with Gamestop — despite being over their 30 day warranty, they switched it out!

So now I have another XBOX 360, and I'm finding it hard to really enjoy it now.

Is it going to die again while in the middle of Rock Band 2?

Will I have to send it off next time and wait forever for it to be fixed — hopefully for good?

Or will I turn to the WII and Playstation 2, that I've put hours and hours on already, the tried, true, and tested game consoles that don't let me down when I want to play?  I do know most of the games there already by heart, but they don't have a family history of dying.

"The day that Microsoft Products STOP SUCKING, will be the day that Microsoft starts selling vacuums."

I see now why they dropped the prices on the XBOX 360, but who buys a game console and doesn't plan to play it to death?

  1. That can't happen.
  2. That doesn't happen on my machine.
  3. That shouldn't happen.
  4. Why is that happening?
  5. Oh, I see.
  6. How did that ever work?

What’s that you say? You’ve never been asked that before? I bet you have, but you didn’t hear the question!

Go to any fast food restaurant, order french fries, and you’ll be asked “Would you like some Ketchup?“. That’s the question that you’ll hear. The actual question is, “Would you like the rest of the Ketchup?” Go ahead, answer yes. And here comes the heaping pile of Ketchup you wanted!

I wish I could take credit for having “the rest of the Ketchup”, revealed to the world, but I can’t really. Larry Evans is the person that came up with it originally, and to him I give the rest of the credit!
