Part one of the saga can be seen here.
My refurbished XBOX 360 IS FRICKIN’ (been hanging around Ranger too much) BROKEN! When I turn it on the 3 red lights of death flash (similar to the blue screen of death.) Which really tells you nothing besides, “Hey, you’re screwed.” I haven’t called Microsoft to check on how much it will cost, usually that ends up with me yelling at them and telling them how stupid they are. Right now Leta and Heather are asleep, obviously out of the question. Heather just called my cell phone to tell me to turn down the black romantic comedy (Something New) I was watching on TV. Don’t want to piss her off anymore.
Obviously Microsoft has still not worked out the bugs in this 20 pound hunk of shit. I searched around the internet to see if anyone else was having this problem, and apparently it’s an epidemic. The problem is they used a lead-free cold solder on the motherboard of this turd sandwich. Well, the cold solder? It shrinks. There is a work around which involves wrapping a TOWEL around your system and letting it run for about 15 minutes so the solder will expand and make contact with the correct components. Then you let it cool down for another 15 minutes, and viola! Working XBOX 360. I’ve done it once and don’t really want to do it again, probably due to the risk of FIRE! Plus it only works for a few hours, the few hours I spent playing Dance Dance Revolution because I’d like to train to be the best DDR player in the universe. Plus this clip from Grandma’s Boy is hilarious.
What does high score mean? New high score is that bad?
In all seriousness, Microsoft you can blow me. I have invested so much money into this system and it freaking BREAKS. But you know you’ve won cause I’ll probably give in and buy the XBOX 360 Elite system because I am craving some Guitar Hero 2.
Assholes. KTHXBYE .

GEORGE!, I’m telling you… 108″ of HD. X-Box 360. Bring Gutar Hero and become my daughter’s new favorite person.

We own 2 360s. My husband’s only died once, but then we replaced it with an Elite so it ended up not mattering….but MINE WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES.
I feel ya. The Elite is nice, though. I envy Shawn’s. My system sounds like a jet ready for take off. The Elite is silent. But deadly.
The PS3 and the Wii have never died, though. What does that say?

Have fun with guitar hero. My roomates went through about a MILLION guitars and none of them seemedm to work. They had to settle for Forza2.
