Just had a very close call with the Xbox 360. Everyone knows about the dreaded red ring of death, and I just got it… as I knew it was pretty much game over for my console I headed over to xbox.com to try and figure out how to get a new machine. It suggested turning it off and on again, and watching the color of the power supply to see if that indicated anything. Once I turned it on again, no more ring! I just dodged a huge gaming bullet there!
[Update - June 16, 2008, 11:42am]: Well I figured it was too good to be true as I tried to turn on the 360 this morning and play a little GTA. Niko just walked out of his safe house, and wham it froze up. Off and on again a few times and no dodging the red ring of death this time. SHIT! So I called Microsoft and they started the exchange process, but they are having server ‘issues’ right now, so they said to call back in 3-4 hours and they will be able to complete everything. Looks like 3 weeks or so before I’m back on track…
