The death of the Xbox(s)...

As some of you know, my Xbox 360 had "red-ringed" a.k.a the red-rings-of-death. It's kinda like the check-engine light on your car, except there's no fix for this error. Microsoft had such a terrible failure rate, they extended the warranty period to 3 years if you get this nasty little message. I shipped it away, and got a replacement console in a week.

This week, Richard - after waiting months to get the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, finally got the game, only to play it for less than a couple of hours and watch his Xbox red-ring (to his horror). So... it looks like the Ronalds/Donnellys are having a real run of luck: good that is - both of us get newer replacement consoles, and it happened to both of us in the last month or 2 of our warranty periods. Wahoo!
